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. Failure to replace worn components
could result in exposing the operator or bystanders to high speed media and
compressed air, causing serious injury.
10. Do not use corrosive materials of any type in unit. Use only clean, dry media.
11. Do not splice abrasive hose. The splice will wear out quickly and may violently spray
media over the surrounding area. A worn blast hose could suddenly fail by bursting.
Couplings and nozzle holders may not adequately grip worn hose, causing them to
blow off under pressure. Compressed air and abrasive escaping from a burst hose, or
disconnected coupling or nozzle holder, could cause severe injury.
12. Welding, grinding, or drilling on the blast machine could weaken the vessel.
Compressed air pressure could cause a weakened blast machine to rupture, resulting in
death or serious injury.
13. Always place the machine so that the outlet is pointed away from any objects or
persons. Stand clear of the path of exiting abrasive. It may come out at high velocity.
Impact from exiting abrasive could cause severe injury.
14. Static electricity can be created by the use of this equipment. Do not use within fifty feet
of any explosive, potentially explosive substances, or their vapors as an explosion can
occur.
15. Do not use this equipment in any area that might be considered hazardous or where
flammable gases or liquids are present. Failure to do so may cause an explosion
resulting in serious injury.
16. Do not overfill tank with media. Do not fill to within 6 inches from top of the tank.
