Swing rear axis
Transporting and lifting the Shotblaster
Operating the Shotblaster machine may only take place in accordance with the safety rules
and precautions described in these instructions! Transporting the machine and the extrac-
tion system to the area to be blasted is made much easier by raising the machine..
The machine is raised by inserting the lifting rod /handle (see picture Transporting and lif-
ting the Shotblaster) into the bolt of the Swing rear axis (No. 191) and pulling it up. The
raised rear swing arm is secured by inserting the coupling pin (No. 209) through the hole in
the swing arm and then through the hole in the left side plate of the machine..
f Make sure that all consumables are in good condition. All wearing parts are defined
further in Chapter 3. If in doubt, replace them.
f Check all electrical supply cables.
f Connect the Shotblaster machine to the vacuum system using the suction hose. It is im-
portant that the hose is tight along its entire length and at the fittings. Small holes or in-
correct fitting of the connecting pieces can reduce the suction power considerably. If
you want to blast smaller rooms, it makes sense to attach the supplied dust hose bra-
cket (see picture above) for the suction hose above the turbine motor. Route the hose
through the top of the bracket. The hose is kept away from the machine when reversing
and is not always in front of the rear wheels.
f Connect the dust collector to the mains socket. The feed cable of the shotblaster is
connected to the socket on the dust collector. It makes sense to tie the cable from the
Shotblaster machine to the suction hose with insulating tape or something similar. The
base unit of the Shotblaster machine shotblaster requires a 32 A, 3 Phase + earth con-
nection.
f If a double machine is being operated, a 63 A, 3 phase + earth connection is required.
