Transporting and lifting the Shotblaster
Operating the Shotblaster may only take place in accordance with the safety rules and pre-
cautions described in these instructions! Transport the Shotblaster and the extraction sys-
tem to the area to be blasted. Transporting the machine is made much easier by raising the
machine. Insert the lifting rod /handle (see picture Transporting and lifting
the Shotblaster) into the bolt of the rear wheel swing arm 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 to the vacuum system using the suction hose. It is important
that the hose is tight along its entire length and at the fittings. Small holes or incorrect
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 bracket 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 to the suction hose with insulating tape or something similar. The base unit
of the shotblaster requires a 32 A, 3 Phase + earth connection. If a double machine is
being operated, a 63 A, 3 phase + earth connection is required.
f Check the floor to be blasted for parts such as screws, nuts, stones, etc. and clean the
surface with a broom or a vacuum system if necessary. Slight obstacles such as con-
crete joints and undulations are not a problem for the machine. In the case of larger une-
veness, before activating the turbine, check whether the machine can drive over these
areas without any problems.
