Make certain that all screws and other fasteners are tight.
Check the shot storage hopper, the feed spout, and the blast wheel parts for foreign
bodies and remove them if present.
Check the blast wheel blades, control cage, liners, and magnets for damages and wear.
Wear grooves are acceptable until 50% of blade thickness has been worn away. When
blade thickness has been worn away by more than 50%, replace all blades as a set.
Check the front, side, and rear seal system and brush seals for excessive wear.
Check the tightness of the hose connections and the condition of the hose to the filter.
Check the electrical connections for dirt and foreign body deposits.
Verify that the electrical motors are free of dirt and other contaminants.
Check the level of shot in the storage hopper. Refill hopper if necessary.
Verify that the main power cable and the dust hose are free of damage. Replace or repair
all damaged parts before putting the machine into operation.
Connect the blast cleaning machine and the filter unit with the dust hose. Use hose
clamps at the connections.
Connect the supply cable of the blast cleaning machine with filter unit. Connect the
electrical cable of the filter unit with the site supply.
Make certain that the side seals are positioned correctly in the side seal boxes.
Check that the filter dust container has been emptied.
Always blast in a straight line away from the dust collector. Blasting in a straight line
will produce the most uniform results. NEVER RUN OVER ANYTHING WITH THE
BP-10 SUPER! RUNNING OVER AN EXTENSION CORD, AIR LINES, REBAR
EXPANSION JOINTS, OPENINGS IN FLOOR, DRAINS, ETC. WITH THE BP-
10 SUPER CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR AND/OR
DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT!
Make certain to keep hands away from all moving parts once the machine is in operation.
Make certain to never stand next to the blast housing while the BP-10 SUPER is in
operation as blade failure could result in serious injury.
Make certain that the shot hopper door is closed while the machine is in operation as the
BP-10 SUPER throws shot which could present a serious danger if the shot hopper door
is not properly closed.
Make certain that the blast seals of the BP-10 SUPER are not worn out. As these seals
provide the suction that is required by the machine, they will become dislodged if they
become worn out. This will then result in shot being discharged from the machine. It is
consequently recommended that the operator make absolutely certain that the blast seals
are in good working condition before putting the BP-10 SUPER into operation.
In the unlikely event of a failure, turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
Note: If the BP-10 SUPER shotblasting machine is operated using a generator as the
power source, the generator must be operated in accordance with the current VDE
directives (this applies to the protective earth conductor in particular) in order to
ensure that all safety devices are functioning and to eliminate possible damage to
electrical components.
