MAINTENANCE
To assure a long efficient life of the system, it is recommended to:
A. Replace nozzle when compressor can’t keep up, or media usage is
excessive.
B. Rebuild media valve when it starts to leak or doesn’t shut off.
C. Check abrasive metering valve when you can’t get correct abrasive
flow. If worn badly, replace.
D. Check hose barbs after 20 hours of use. If worn badly, replace.
E. Replace abrasive hose when it begins to soften or leaks media or air.
Water and/or oil in the air line will cause problems with the efficiency of
your blasting. Before blasting, always drain water and/or oil from air line.
We suggest that a quality water filter be installed in the air line between the
compressor and the blast cabinet.
Good visibility speeds up work. Clean dust from window often and
replace the plastic window underlayment and window when needed. The
lamp shield will also become frosted and require replacement. Visibility is
also affected by the condition of the dust collection system. The filter
should be cleaned often and the dust emptied from the canister regularly
(more than a gallon of debris is too much.)
If after extended use of the machine the gasket around the door or window
becomes damaged or worn, it can be replaced (see diagram).
This equipment is engineered to the finest point of simplicity. With
reasonable care it should give you many years of excellent service.
Blasting by its very nature is a high maintenance process. The
same forces acting to separate materials from targeted pieces
wear on the system itself.
Keep service parts in stock to avoid down time.
