When air cannon blasts, a small amount of air will release
from solenoid valve and quick exhaust valve.
Do not open door/port or enter storage vessel when cannons
are charged and operational. Flying debris from cannons'
blast can kill you.
If air cannons are installed on open pit or on structure with no
top, make sure area is clear before firing cannons. Flying
debris from cannons' blast can kill you.
Air cannons are loud when firing. Use ear protection to avoid
impairment or loss of hearing.
7. Blast air cannon as follows:
a. For air cannons with manual valves, move manual valve lever to
opposite position (inlet to outlet closed, outlet to exhaust open).
b. For air cannons with electrical solenoid valves and external electrical
controls, activate electrical solenoid valve by external control
(electrical push button, timer, etc.) or by pushing button on electrical
solenoid valve. (If wired correctly, this should send signal to solenoid
valve closing inlet to outlet and opening outlet to exhaust.)
c. For air cannons with solenoid enclosure and controller, set up
controller according to controller's operating manual. Use controller to
activate solenoid cabinet.
8. Blast air cannon five times to ensure proper operation. Allow tank to fill
after each blast.
9. If air cannon blasts properly, continue to operate air cannon as needed. If
problems occur, see "Troubleshooting."
10. Keep air cannon charged with air at all times so unit is always ready for
use, and so material cannot flow into air cannon.
