When the blades on the blast wheel are deteriorated by 50% or more, then the blast wheel should
be replaced. To replace the blast wheel, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that the control switch is in the OFF position.
2. Verify that the power cord is NOT plugged into an electrical outlet.
3. Verify that the shot valve is closed.
4. Loosen all nuts and clamps that secure the feed spout and the control cage.
5. Remove the feed spout.
6. Remove the control cage.
7. Mark plate with ink pen where control cage openings appear to aid in realignment.
8. Remove the four sets of nuts and washers securing the control cage assembly to the
housing.
9. Remove the control cage assembly.
10. Remove the arbor nut and the blast wheel.
11. Check the wheel hub for wear and replace when necessary.
12. Install the new blast wheel and the arbor nut.
13. Reattach the control cage assembly that was previously removed.
14. Insert the new control cage that was provided with the blast wheel kit. Spin the blast
wheel by hand to verify that the blast wheel and the control cage do not come into contact
with one another. Openings of control cage should be set at approximately 10:30
(leading edge) and 8:30 (trailing edge).
