18. Verify the pusher plate is pushed back to the end of the trough away from shaver wheel. 19. Place dry ice into the trough. The SDI Select 60 is designed to use any type of dry ice, including feeding full 3mm pellets (see p. 13).
Page 17
ADJUST THE AGITATION CONTROL The SDI Select 60's design helps keep dry ice from forming a clog in the trough and between the feeder and the shaver by isolating the trough, adding thumper agitation and using bursts of air in the feeder chamber to break up any dry ice clumps that may begin to form during operation.

-40 °F (-40 °C), resulting in a dew point low enough for continuous blasting. To verify the compressor is of adequate size for the SDI Select 60, the air compressor needs to produce an air volume 10% greater than the SDI Select 60's maximum permissible air volume. To determine adequate air volume, watch the pressure gauge while blasting.
