cleaning the Hopper
It is not necessary to remove the blasting medium
from the Hopper after every use. However,
clean out the Hopper when a different blasting
medium is to be used or when the medium
gets worn down. To clean the Hopper:
WarninG: Wear ANSI‑approved safety goggles,
full face shield and a NIOSH‑approved protective
dust mask or respirator when replacing the
abrasive medium in the Blast Cabinet.
1. Remove the Gun from the Cabinet.
2. Pull the Gloves through the glove holes so that they
are out of the way of the inside of the Blast Cabinet.
3. Remove the Grate from the Blast Cabinet.
4. Straddle the Blast Cabinet over two saw
horses (sold separately) with an open
container below which is large enough to
hold the abrasive material in the hopper.
5. Unthread the Cap (38) at the bottom
of the Hopper and allow the abrasive
medium to flow into the container.
6. Use your compressor set at 10 PSI to help blow
any excess abrasive out of the hopper and
into the container. Also, use the compressor
to clean abrasive out of the Blast Gun and
the Siphon Hose and Siphon Tube.
7. Replace the Cap and the Grate
once the Hopper is empty.
8. Push the Gloves back into the Blast Cabinet.
9. Reassemble the Siphon Hose, Siphon
Tube and Blast Gun and fill the Hopper
with new blasting medium.
