Pressurizing the Pressure Pot

 

The pressure pot opening is located inside the 
cabinet below the metal grate.  The pressure pot 
closure cap is attached to a linkage, which is 
movable from the pressure pot closure lever (L) on 
the left side of the cabinet.  The purpose of the lever 
and linkage is to lift the pressure pot closure cap 
upward to contact the pressure pot rubber seal 
located at the top of the pot.  While holding the cap 
in the up position with lever (L) the air is turned on, 
this fills the pot, and presses the cap securely 
against the pressure pot rubber seal, sealing the pot 
and pressure inside.  When the cap is in the down 
position there is a gap between the cap and the seal, 
which allows the abrasive from blasting to re-enter 
the pot. 

 

! WARNING 

Ensure that the Blast Hose (K) is in the cabinet at 
all times when the pressure pot is under pressure.

 

3.3.1

 

Locate the Pressure Pot Closure Lever (L) and 

move it back and forth rapidly several times to 
shake off any abrasive that may be sitting on top of 
the closure cap.

 

3.3.2

 

Now push the lever away from you to lift the 

pressure pot closure cap against the rubber seal.  
While holding the lever firmly in this forward 
position, open the Air Inlet Valve (C).  Count 3 
seconds and then release the Pressure Pot Closure 
Lever (L). The pot should be closed and 
pressurizing at this point. The Air Pressure 
Regulator Gauge (H) should rise to the factory pre-
set blasting pressure of 30 psi.

 

3.3.3

 

NOTE

: If you hear air escaping inside the 

cabinet, turn off lever (C) and try again.  If for some 
reason you cannot get the pressure pot closure cap 
to seal, call Rayzist and ask for technical help.

 

3.4

 

Adjusting Blasting Pressure.

 

3.4.1

 

After pressurizing the pot the pressure 

regulator gauge (H) should read about 30 psi.  If the 
gauge has a different reading make an adjustment as 
follows:  Unlock the Air Pressure Regulator Knob 

(A) by pulling upwards.  Twist clockwise to 
increase blast pressure or counter clockwise to 
decrease blast pressure.  Set regulator to desired 
pressure, and then press down to lock the knob.

Adjusting Abrasive and Air flow

 

3.5.1

 

Turn on the dust collector and lights and check 

the plastic dust bag on the dust collector to make 
sure it is collapsing; this indicates it is properly 
installed and has sealed the dust collector opening.

 

! NOTICE 

When first stepping on the Foot Pedal (F), you may 
experience a thick burst of abrasive media from the 
blasting tip, which should smooth out to a constant 
flow of abrasive and air. This occurs when Abrasive 
Flow Valve (D) is open too far. When starting to 
blast you should hold the blasting tip away from the 
item you are blasting until abrasive media is 
flowing smoothly. 

3.5.2

 

Put on the rubber blasting gloves and hold the 

Blast Hose (K) and have the tip pointing 
downwards towards the grate about 6" to 8" away.  
Step on the foot pedal and watch the flow of 
abrasive as described above.

 

! NOTICE 

Air Flow Valve (B) adjusts how much air pushes 
the abrasive through the Blast Hose (K). Less air 
flow = more abrasive.  More air flow = less 
abrasive. 

3.5.3

 

If necessary adjust Air Flow Valve (B) to 

achieve the proper balance of abrasive and air. If 
there is too much abrasive open valve more, if not 
enough close the valve slightly.  If the abrasive is 
pulsating between thick and thin, you may need to 
slightly close the Abrasive Flow Valve (D).

 

3.6

 

Sandcarving

 

3.6.1

 

Turn on cabinet power switch located above 

the right cabinet access door; the dust collector and 
lights should both begin operating.

 

3.6.2

 

Use (provided) rubber gloves before blasting. 

(18mil or thicker rubber or latex safety gloves can 
be purchased from a local hardware store.).
