Handlebars, Wheels and Foot Assembly
(Figure 2)
1. Lay the Abrasive Blast Tank on a flat level
surface (such as a workbench or table top), with
the handlebar mounting brackets facing up.
2. Align the 4 holes in the Handlebar (06) with the
four holes in the handlebar mounting brackets.
Note: Keep the curved end of the handle facing
upward.
3. Place a Washer (10) onto each of the four
handlebar mounting Screws (08) and insert
them through each of the four holes.
4. Place a nut (09) onto the end of each screw and
firmly tighten with a wrench.
5. Locate the Wheel Axle (05) and slide it through
the axle holes located at the bottom of the
handlebar.
6. Slide a wheel Washer (26) onto each end of
the wheel axle.
7. Slide a Wheel (02) onto each end of the
wheel axle.
8. Slide a wheel Washer (26) onto each end of the
wheel axle.
9. Using snap ring pliers, install a Snap Ring (47)
onto each end of the wheel axle. Note: Wheel
axle has a groove cut into it - snap ring should
rest in this groove so it will not slide off the
wheel axle.
10. Firmly snap Wheel Lids (48) into place on
wheels.
11. Roll Abrasive Blast Tank over so that handle is
now facing down.
12. Align the holes of the Front Foot (04) with the
holes in the foot mount on the front side of the
Blast Tank.
13. Insert a Cotter Pin (03) through the holes and
bend it so the Front Foot cannot slide off the
foot mount.

OPERATION
! Warning: Always wear your hood, dust mask
and heavy duty canvas gloves when operating
the abrasive blaster.
! Warning: Before operating your abrasive blaster,
inspect each connection, double checking to
make sure that all are tight and properly sealed.
! WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS NOT
INTENDED FOR USE WITH SILICA
BASED ABRASIVES. SILICA BASED
ABRASIVES HAVE BEEN LINKED TO
SEVERE RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
ALWAYS USE SILICA SUBSTITUTES
(SUCH AS - GLASS BEAD - RED
GARNET) WHEN ABRASIVE BLASTING!
Loading Abrasive
1. Check to make sure the abrasive is dry and
clean so that it does not clog the unit.
2. Close the brass Air Supply Valve (19) by turning
it to the vertical position.
3. To release the pressure from the Tank, press
Safety Trigger until air stops.
4. Make sure the Pressure Gauge (16) reads "0".
5. Remove the Filler Cap (13).
6. Using the Funnel (27), pour the selected abrasive
media into the tank (1). Do not fill the tank more
than 3/4 full. If humidity in your region is 90% or
more, only fill the tank half full and check the
water trap (18) more frequently.
7. Close the Filler Cap securely, assuring O-ring is
in place.
Note: Place your air compressor in another room to
prevent damage to it.
To Start Abrasive Blasting
Note: Start with all valves in the closed position.
Following the instructions below will help prevent
the formation of clogs in the abrasive hose, outlet
manifold and the safety trigger.
1. Connect air compressor to the Inlet Connector (20).
2. Start compressor and open Air Supply Valve (19).
3. Open Throttling Valve (19A).
4. Check for leaks at the Filler Cap and along all
hoses and fittings as the system pressurizes. If
leaks are observed, release the pressure from
the tank and repair immediately.
5. Point Safety Trigger in a safe direction away from
people, pets or anything around you that may be
damaged by direct or indirect abrasive spray.
6. Press and hold Safety Trigger until air is flowing
through the trigger.
