e) Pay attention that the drive unit does not turn away during lifting of the machine. Hold on to the steering handle until the machine is of the ground. When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be tensioned at this speed;...
Signs on the machine The following stickers are placed on the machine. Meanings of these symbols are: DANGER Hazardous voltage in motor even when solid state controller is OFF. Disconnect main power before servicing motor, controller or associated wiring. Hearing protection is obliged. No lifting point.
4. Before operation Before using the machine it is of great importance to inspect the machine. It is not permitted to use the machine if the machine safety is not according the checkpoints below.

Blast wheels The heart of the blast cleaning machine are two blast wheels that throw the abrasive onto the surface to be cleaned by using centrifugal force. The blast wheels are placed in a protective housing lined with replaceable wear parts. The blast wheels are driven by two electric motors. Control cage Impeller Blades (set of 6)
Front magnets Side magnets Front brush Side brushes Flow bar Rear seal rubber Airflow adjuster 4.11 The abrasive valves Between the abrasive storage hopper and the feed spouts there are valves incorporating permanent magnets in order to control the abrasive flow towards the blastwheels. Any change in the opening of the magnetic valve causes the amount of abrasive fed to the blastwheel to change.
5. Operating During operating the machine, the following additional safety instructions must be followed closely. Before switching on the machine make sure that no-one can be endangered when the machine starts up. Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other equipment run over the electric cable and the dust hose.
Operation Carry out blasting in parallel tracks in such way that the dust hose and electric cable do not become twisted. The next figure shows the recommended blast paths leading away from the dust collector. Dust collector Dust hose and electric cable Blast cleaning machine Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other equipment run over the electric cable and the dust...
The blast pattern The cast grooves on the control cage show the position of the control cage opening. The following adjustment standard value is valid: the control cage opening is approximately opposite to the throwing angle. The abrasive grain size plays an important role here. Different types of abrasive have different throwing characteristics due to their different weights and frictional resistance.

Now the blasting procedure can be started. When a concrete surface is to be blasted, check the blast pattern again after some meters and re-adjust slightly if necessary. WARNING! Never loosen the cage clamps lever or try to adjust the blast wheel cover when the machine is in operation!!
Pay attention to unusual noises or strong vibrations. Check for the cause of every big change. Call a technician if you have doubts about the cause or when a repair without a technician seems not possible without damages. Only use genuine Blastrac spare parts. Our specialists will be happy to assist you with more advice.

All repair work must to be done by qualified Blastrac personnel, this to guarantee a safe and reliable machine. Any guarantee on the machine is expired when: Non original Blastrac parts have been used ...
The toothed belts The belt drives are designed for the installed driving power. To force a higher output through an excessive high tension of the belts will result in broken belts, damage to the bearings and causes loss of the total efficiency. Too low belt tension will cause slipping with the result of a very high temperature of the belt and a premature destruction of it.
6.6 The chain drive A chain drive needs relatively little maintenance when the correct chain is selected, when it is mounted correctly and, in this case of application, is not lubricated. The drive chain is protected by a chain guard. The chain guard prevents excessive contamination and prevents accidents.

The Blastrac blast cleaning machines are designed and built to operate with Blastrac abrasive. Blastrac abrasive has a very high quality and has the rebouncing ability required for the efficient use of the machine. The selection of abrasive is very important since this is the material to carry out the surface treatment.
