40001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 2 WARNING! Do not use an ALC Pressure Blaster until you have read this manual and you understand its contents and warnings. These warnings are included for the health and safety of the operator and those in the immediate vicinity. Keep this manual for future reference.
40001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 3 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Refer to diagrams on page 9 when assembling. 1. Attach wheel assemblies to wheel support as shown in inset #1 (p. 13). Do not tighten nut snugly against wheel hub, as some movement is required to allow free rolling of wheels. Tighten hex nut directly against wheel support housing to lock wheel assembly in place. 2. Abrasive regulator valve has been preassembled and attached to the bottom of the tank.
0001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 4 PRESSURE BLASTER SAFETY PROCEDURES CAUTION: READ THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES IN THEIR ENTIRETY – PARTS OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE WITHIN THESE WARNINGS. These procedures are not intended to be exhaustive due to the many variables in the abrasive blasting field. Therefore, we INSIST that the hands, ears, mouth, nose and eyes be covered with appropriate safety protection at all times.
40001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 5 8. Drain air out of tank through the inlet valve and disconnect power before maintenance cleaning of any kind. When removing nozzle, caution must be exercised as air pressure may still be in the hose if the nozzle is plugged. 9. For safe operation, perform recommended preventive maintenance on blaster tank, remote unit and accessories. Replace all worn parts before they fail. Immediate replacement of worn components is required.
40001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING TECHNIQUE: 1. Connect air hose to air inlet valve. Manufacturer recommends using minimum incoming air hose of 1/2” I.D. Using an air hose smaller than 1/2” I.D. will restrict air volume and result in poor unit operation. Prior to injection of air, be certain air inlet valve and nozzle valve are in the OFF position.

40001, 40003, 40004, 40005 Assembly Instructions Page 8 AIR COMPRESSOR RECOMMENDATION: To permit efficient operation of your air compressor, follow these guidelines: 1. Use a smaller size nozzle to control the demand of air. 2. Do not blast continuously. Stop blasting operation periodically to allow the compressor to cool. No compressor is designed to constantly run at full RPM. Use 70% of the rated output. 3. Use a minimum 1/2” air hose or metal piping from your air compressor to the blaster.
