STEP 4 – Dust Collector set-up
Unpack the dust collector and place within a few feet of the sandblast
cabinet. (Note: vacuum hose is packed in bottom barrel of dust collector.)
Attach one end of the plastic hose to the air inlet of the vacuum system and
attach the other end to the air outlet on the rear of the blasting cabinet.
Plug the dust collector line cord into outlet on the back of the lamp box.
See your dust collector manual for details and operation of your dust
collector.
STEP 5 – Regulator and gauge installation
Connect regulator and gauge assembly (nos.1 & 9) to the inlet ball valve
(no. 3). Be sure to place Teflon tape on the thread to assure a leak-free fit.
Using a pipe wrench, tighten the connection. When the regulator and
gauge has been installed, place the pipe tee (no. 2) and filter to the left of
the regulator and gauge.
STEP 6 – Foot operated blast gun installation
Connect the black hose from the foot pedal valve to the brass hose barb in
the ¼ inch air filter (no. 12). Connect the red hose to the brass hose barb
on the media valve (no. 11).
*DO NOT USE QUICK DISCONNECTS*
STEP 7 – Attaching air line to sandblast system
NOTE: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU HAVE A WATER / AIR
SEPARATOR PLACED BEFORE THE REGULATOR TO ASSURE
NO MOISTURE ENTERS THE SYSTEM. MOISTURE MAY LEAD
TO CLOGGING OF ABRASIVE MEDIA.
Close your air inlet ball valve (no. 3) and attach the airline from your
compressor to the pipe (1/2 inch NPT pipe thread) from your regulator and
gauge (or water / air separator if you have installed one). The “open”
position of the air inlet ball valve is when the lever is positioned over the
length of the valve. The “closed” position is when the lever is
perpendicular to the ball valve. When attaching the air supply to the DP-
36 the following assembly instructions are important for your system to
function properly.
