Maintenance

Every month

Martin Engineering M3404-05/12
Read entire section before beginning work.
Turn off and lock out/tag out air supply and energy source
before blasting air cannon to prevent air cannon from
refilling.
Do not open door/port or enter storage vessel before turning
off compressed air source, locking out controls, purging line
pressure, and venting air from tank.
Shutting off lockout ball valve will purge all cannons
connected to that valve and cause the air cannons to fire
immediately. Do not shut off the valve until you make sure no
one is in the structure or near its discharge. Flying debris from
the cannons' blast can kill you.
Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source according to ANSI standards
(see "References").
1. Inspect all connections from air supply to tank for leaks and deterioration.
If connections are leaking, seal all fittings with pipe sealant and tighten.
Replace any deteriorating connections. Make sure hoses do not flex more
than 1/4 in. (6 mm).
2. Make sure all pipes and wires are anchored to prohibit movement. Secure
as needed.
3. Inspect quick exhaust valve, manual valve or electrical solenoid valve,
check valve, lockout ball valve, and air filter/regulator/lubricator for
proper operation. If not operating correctly, replace.
4. Wipe all warning labels clean. If labels are not readable, contact Martin
Engineering or representative for replacements.
