WARNING!
Read the entire important safety information section before set up or use of this product.
Inspect soda blaster before use, looking for damaged, loose and missing parts.
If any problem is found, do not use the soda blaster until repaired.

4.1 Tool set up - Loading abrasive

WARNING!
To prevent serious injury from accidental operation:
Close all valves, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the soda
blaster, and close all valves again before performing any procedure in this section.
To prevent serious injury:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within
this manual. Improper adjustment can result in soda blaster failure or other serious hazards.
USE SODIUM BICARBONATE BLAST MEDIA ONLY!
Do not use sand or other blasting materials that contain crystalline silica.
Note: Use only dry and clean abrasives to avoid clogging the soda blaster.
Note: The nozzle size depends on grit of media used. Change the nozzle as needed to suit the abrasive.
1. Pull back on the blue quick disconnect safety valve (7) collar and pull out air hose (10).
2. Hold collar on tank (1) with a wrench and use another wrench to loosen bushing (13). (wrenches not included.)
3. Remove entire media discharge assembly slowly, being careful with the pickup tube (11) as it may contain residual media
which can spill when removed. Allow time for the trapped aggregate to safely discharge back into the tank.
4. Using a funnel and screen (sold separately), pour media into the tank.
Note: If this is a large job, fill the tank only 3/4 full and reload as needed to finish the job.
Note: If the humidity is 90 to 100%, reduce the amount of media and refill more frequently to reduce clogging.
5. Inspect condition of the O-ring (12) at the bottom of the bushing, and replace if damaged.
6. Insert the pickup tube into the tank and tighten the bushing. Do not over tighten.
7. Insert the air hose deep into the fitting. Release the collar.
Note: If air leaks around the air hose, remove it, cut approximately a quarter of an inch off and reattach it.
8. Turn on the compressor and set the regulator to the pressure recommended for this soda blaster (6 bar/90 psi).
CAUTION!
Do not exceed 6 bar/90 psi.
