During operation the acceptable noise level of the 1-16DB4-V2 could exceed 85dB (A). This noise level depends on the job site. When the noise level is 85 dB (A) or more, the machine operator and persons working near the machine must wear sound-insulating equipment.
Indicates where consultation with the manufacturer is required. Instructions relating to periodic checks. Reference to important instructions contained in the operating instructions. Organizational Measures These operating instructions are to be kept with the machine, and must be within reach at all times! In addition to these operating instructions, general and legal regulations regarding accident prevention and environmental protection must be compiled with per local regulations.
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer. This is always guaranteed if Blastrac OEM parts are used. Intervals for recurring checks and inspections specifies in these operating instructions must be followed.
General Safety Precautions Do not allow any method of working that impairs safety. Recognized official procedures have to be used to ensure the machine is operated in the safest and best conditions. Only operate the machine when all safety devices, and related safety equipment, are present and operational.

Mechanical servicing work: Put the machine in the Safety Off Position as described on page 8 before carrying out any service work on the machine. Follow any special safety instructions in sections on servicing the machine. See Section 5. Service and maintenance intervals specified in these Operating Instructions, as well as information on the replacement of parts must be followed.
Definition of the Safety Off Position Definition: The machine is in a safe condition where it cannot be a hazard. Putting the equipment in the Safety Off Position involves: Close the shot valve. Switch off the machine. Wait for all drives to stop. ...
Description of the Machine The 1-16DB4-V2 Shot-Blast machine is powered by a 61 HP Duetz Diesel engine. The machine is capable of removing up to 1/4 inch of concrete in one pass. It is driven by a hydrostatic pump and motor system.
16 in General Transport of the Machine Before the machine is used for the first time, Blastrac authorized dealers offer a course to familiarize maintenance and operating personnel with all elements of the machine. Blastrac is not liable for damage caused by incorrect use of the equipment by personnel that have not trained by Blastrac.
Operation Preparation for Operation Check the surface to be treated for loose parts (stones, screws, etc.). The surface must be swept, if necessary. Make sure that the machine can travel over all inequalities on the surface. Small inequalities like weld seams or floor joints are no barriers for the machine.
Operator Awareness The 1-16DB4-V2 machine is designed to blast a concrete surface and reclaim all shot and dust. The machine can very easily destroy the concrete surface if not operated properly! The absence of operator awareness will create down time and can prove to be very costly.
• The gap between the blades and the pinch bar is very important. If your gap exceeds 3/16 inch, you will begin to trail shot and eventually empty the shot hopper. • The shot blast machine is equipped with blast seals. These seals provide a seal for the suction required.

Before starting the engine, make sure the clutch is in the disengaged position. Failure to do so will result in damage to the clutch. “Cold” Startup Procedure: Turn the ignition switch to the run position and wait for the glow plug light to turn off.
Operation Adjustments The 1-16DB4-V2 is equipped with a few fine tune adjustments to make blasting easier. Front End Lift: This is used primarily for loading and unloading the machine. This feature may also be used to adjust your seals while operating the machine, opposed to stopping the machine and doing it manually.
Operation Sequence Throttle Shot Valve Control Open / Close Transmission Control Blast Head Raise / Lower Figure 3 Refer to Figure 3 for the location of switches and controls identified in this procedure. Complete the Operation/Maintenance Checklist (pages 12-13). Place the transmission control lever in the neutral (center) position. Follow the startup procedures in on page 16, as appropriate.

Dust Collector Function This unit is equipped with an auto pulse dust collector that provides suction to separate the dust from the shot. Refer to Figure 5 for the location or items discussed in this section. The central part of the dust collector is the filter chamber. Dust laden air enters the chamber from the blast head through the exhaust hose and into the dust collector inlet connection located on the center, front side of the dust collector.
Shutdown Sequence Ensure the shot valve is fully closed. Push the throttle to the closed position. Ensure the clutch is in the off position. Ensure the transmission lever is in neutral position. Turn the key to the off position. Complete the maintenance check list. Safety Shutdown The machine has to be in its Safety off position before starting repair work.
Maintenance Blade Replacement The key must be in the off position and all rotating parts must come to a complete halt before attempting any maintenance procedure. Ensure you are in the Safety Off Position, on page 8. Figure 6 ITEM NO. PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION QTY.

Top Liner Removal: See Figure 9 for item locations and descriptions. Before attempting to remove the Top Liner, steps 1-8 of Blast Wheel Removal must be completed. If the Top Liner has completed more than 100 hours of blasting it will have expanded. In the event that the Top Liner has expanded too much to slide out, the best way to remove it is to cut it in half with a torch.

Clutch Maintenance Lubrication The PTO requires lubrication with NGLI #2 lithium based grease. During normal operation, apply one grease gun shot of grease to the release mechanism (sliding sleeve assembly) fitting every 20 hours of operation. Also lubricate the main bearings (located on the clutch shaft) and lever (operating) shaft every 100 hours of operation with one grease gun shot.

Please recheck clutch adjustment after the first 10 hours of operation. Clutch Adjustment Frequency As clutch wears, the hand lever force required to engage clutch will decrease. The need to readjust the clutch is indicated when the handle force has decreased to 2/3 of the maximum force specified on the inspection cover plate OR anytime clutch slippage is detected.
Grease Points Apply two pumps of high temperature grease, every 8 hours. Follow the instructions, listed on page 40, for lubricating the clutch. Figure 11...
