SECTION 3.1: START-UP
Only trained, authorized personnel should be allowed to run the BRB-2800. If
training is needed, please consult with your Blastpro Manufacturing
representative or authorized distributor.
Prior to start-up, the work surface should be inspected for hidden studs, electrical
boxes, or any other hidden obstructions. These items should be removed or
clearly marked so they can be avoided.
To move machine:
1. Verify that LP bottle is installed and has fuel in it.
2. Verify that the LP bottle valve is turned to the “OPEN” position.
3. Operator should be firmly seated in the operator’s seat.
4. Verify that the left and right control levers are in the center position.
5. Turn the key switch to start until the motor starts.
6. Move the throttle knob down to full throttle. A detent will engage at the
proper setting.
7. Push rocker switch on the left control lever to raise the blade.
8. Push levers forward to move forward; pull backward to reverse. Varying
positions of the left and right control levers will turn the BRB-2800 left and
right.

a single pass in one direction to expose an edge of the material to be
removed. Subsequent passes should be made perpendicular to the initial
pass. See FIGURE 3.1.1.
