6 START-UP
Insert the special funnel (A) in the hole on top of the machine, open the blasting material
bag making sure that there aren’t any loose pieces of paper, then fill up the tank until flush
with the bottom free edge of the aluminium door kept open by the funnel.
Remove the funnel and screw the lid back on (B) to stop any air release that could prevent
the put on pressure of the tank and to protect the filling hole from any external element entry.
Connect the compressed air supply system to the quick coupling (C) provided in the
anticondensate filter, making sure that the fitting is correctly connected to prevent incidents
during the put on pressure of the machine.
While keeping the trigger pressed (D), after pushing the security button (E), adjust your
working pressure by lifting the pressure regulator handle (F) and cause it to turn clock-wise
(to the right) to bring the pressure to the required value. The pressure gauge needle (G) will
turn to reach that value. To lock the adjuster to the required pressure value, press its control
handle (F) downwards.
Adjust the amount of blast in the mix by adjusting the special control screw (H) (turn
clockwise to decrease the percentage of blasting material mixed with air; turn counter
clockwise to increase the percentage of blasting material mixed with air). A good adjustments
of the air/inert mixing is obtained when an continuous and light inert flow comes out from the
nozzle.
If the optional water kit is installed on the IBIX, engage the water delivery pipe in the quick
lock (I) installed with the water kit.
After reaching the required operating pressure and the required air/blasting material
mix,begin the operation. If the optional water kit is available, the tap (J) must be turned on.
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO WORK WITHOUT THE PRESCRIBED PERSONAL
PROTECTION DEVICES.
During work, always keep slightly open the condensate draining valve provided
below the anti-condensate filter to eliminate the water in the compressed air
collected after filtering.
Do not fill completely the tank to avoid that the inert goes into the pressure
regulator, risking to damage it. IBIX suggests to fill the tank at 3/4 of its capacity.
