SPECIFICATION

AIR SUPPLY

WARNING! Ensure the air supply does not exceed 125psi (8.6 bar) while operating the unit. Too high an air pressure will shorten the life of the unit due to excessive wear and may cause damage and/or personal injury.

• Ensure the blaster air valve (trigger) is in the ‘Off’ position before connecting to the air supply.

• Keep the air hose between the compressor and the unit a reasonable length and install an air filter and water separator (fig.1).

• Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit.

• The recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.

• The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
  

• Use correct hoses and fittings. DO NOT use quick change couplings as they add weight and can cause failure due to vibration. Add a leader hose and connect coupling between this and supply hose.

• Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure that all connections are secure.
