Operation Using the the Wash Wash Feature Feature Using Using Wash Feature 2. Turn the selector valve to WASH. The wash feature causes air-driven water (without abrasive) to rinse areas that have already been blasted with abrasive. It is also a convenient feature for flushing abrasive from the blast hose.
Operation Refilling the the Pot Pot with with Abrasive Abrasive Refilling Refilling with Abrasive 4. After all of the pressure in the pot has been relieved, engage the pop-up pin by compressing the spring and turning the handle 90° to hold the pop-up in the open position.
Operation Shutting Down Down Shutting Shutting Down 5. Hold a bucket under the cam-lock coupler, then turn the selector valve to WASH. This will clean debris from the cam-lock coupler and gasket. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Make sure the gasket is clean and in place after the procedure.

Repair Flushing the the Diaphragm Diaphragm Valve Valve Flushing Flushing Diaphragm Valve 3. Disconnect the quick coupling at the abrasive ball valve (not at the bottom of the pot). This procedure can be performed with the component still mounted in the panel. If large-grit abrasive or other foreign matter becomes lodged in the diaphragm valve, it will become necessary to flush the valve.
