Engine Startup
•
The gap between the blades and the pinch bar is very important. If your
gap exceeds 3/16 inch, you will begin to trail shot and eventually empty
the shot hopper.
•
The shot blast machine is equipped with blast seals. These seals provide
a seal for the suction required. They contain shot that would otherwise be
thrown from the machine. If the seals are worn out, you will lose your
seal and shot could escape from the worn areas.
Before start-up, the operating personnel must be familiar with the safety
regulations given in this manual.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is odorless and colorless and can cause injury or death if inhaled.
Do not use equipment indoors without adequate ventilation. Refer to OSHA
guidelines and regulations concerning maximum levels of exposure to
carbon monoxide gases and other hazards associated with using internal
combustion engines. It is highly recommended that a CO (carbon
monoxide) detector be used to warn the user if levels become unsafe.
All persons in the proximity of the machine must wear safety glasses with
lateral protection as well as safety shoes. The operator is obliged to wear
close-fitting protective clothing.
