10. Flip the unit gently on its back with the Frame Loop
and wheels supporting the weight providing access
to the manifold assemblies on the underside of the
tank.
11. Attach the right side SODA blast hose (GREEN
VALVE) to the barbed fi tting and securely tighten
the hose clamp. Note: Be certain that the GREEN
VALVE at the tank end corresponds to the GREEN
VALVE at the Discharge Nozzle end.
12. Repeat previous step for the left (ABRASIVE)
blast hose.
13. Using Tefl on Tape, thread the Blast Discharge
Nozzle to the 2-in-1 Manifold.
CAUTION: these are tapered pipe threads and over
tightening will cause permanent damage.
BEFORE BEGINNING
Before beginning any blasting, the separate Soda Blasting and Abrasive Blasting systems must be
individually adjusted for optimal fl ow. Failure to do so will result in ineffi cient operation and wasted
media. This manual is divided into two sections, Blasting With Soda and Blasting with Abrasive
Media. Please follow the individual following procedures for Soda Blasting (GREEN SIDE) and
Abrasive Blasting (RED SIDE).
SODA BLASTING (Green Valves)
Although the Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda) blasting media itself is safe in most
situations, appropriate care should be taken when using or disposing as some removed paints
and coatings may contain some levels of hazardous materials such as lead, zinc chromate, etc.
Additional protection may be required in the presence of these substances.
Soda Blasting Media is highly susceptible to moisture absorption which will cause clumping and
erratic operation. To insure proper function, it is imperative to have an effective moisture fi lter and
or desiccant system in the air supply immediately before the Air Inlet. Be sure to drain any moisture
captured in the moisture fi lter before and after each use. Failure to do so may cause "caking" of
media and complete blockage of equipment.
