Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve

Failure to comply with ANY WARNING listed below could result in death or serious injury.

OSHA sets exposure limits to protect workers from exposure to respirable crystalline silica, 29 CFR 1910.1053.

Airborne dust could increase the exposure levels beyond permissible limits. Breathing dust containing silica

could cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease. Breathing dust during abrasive blasting operations, post-blast cleaning

operations, and/or servicing equipment within the abrasive blasting area may expose an individual to conditions

that could cause asbestosis, lead poisoning and/or other serious or fatal diseases. Harmful dust containing toxic

material from abrasives or surfaces being abrasive blasted can remain suspended in the air for long periods of

time after abrasive blasting has ceased. A NIOSH-approved, well-maintained, respirator designed for the specific

operation being performed must be used by anyone abrasive blasting, handling or using the abrasive, and

anyone in the area of the dust.

Contact NIOSH and OSHA offices to determine the proper respirator for your specific application. The air supplied

to the respirator must be at least Grade D quality as described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity

Specification G-7.1 and as specified by OSHA Regulation 1910.134. Ensure air filter and respirator system hoses

are not connected to non-air sources or in-plant lines that may contain nitrogen, oxygen, acetylene or other

non-breathable gases. Before removing respirator, use an air monitoring instrument to determine if the

atmosphere is safe to breathe.

You must comply with all OSHA, local, City, State, Province, Country and jurisdiction regulations, ordinances and

standards, related to your particular work area and environment. Keep unprotected individuals out of the work

area.

Abrasive blasting operators must receive thorough training on the use of abrasive resistant attire which includes:

supplied-air respirator, abrasive blasting suit, safety shoes, gloves, ear protection and eye protection. Protect the

operator and bystanders by complying with NIOSH and OSHA Safety Standards.

Inspect all equipment for wear or damage before and after each use. Failure to use Original Equipment

Manufacturer repair parts and failure to immediately replace worn or damaged components could void warranties

and cause malfunctions.

OSHA requires abrasive blasting nozzles be equipped with an operating valve, which shall be designed to be

held open only by continuous hand pressure and shall close immediately upon release of hand pressure (i.e., a

“deadman” control). The valve shall not be modified in any manner that would allow it to remain open without the

application of continuous hand pressure by the operator. Failure to comply with the above warning could result in

release of high speed abrasive and compressed air resulting in death or serious injury. OSHA 29CFR 1910.244(b)

Point the abrasive blasting nozzle only at the surface being abrasive blasted. Never point the abrasive blasting

nozzle or abrasive stream at yourself or others.

Unless otherwise specified, maximum working pressure of abrasive blasting pots and related components must

not exceed 150 psi. Exceeding maximum working pressure of 150 psi could cause the abrasive blasting pot and

components to burst. Failure to comply with the above warning could result in death or serious injury.

Never weld, grind or drill on the abrasive blasting pot (or any pressure vessel). Doing so will void ASME

certification and manufacturer’s warranty. Welding, grinding or drilling on the abrasive blasting pot (or any pressure

vessel) could weaken the vessel causing it to burst. Failure to comply with the above warning could result in death

or serious injury. (ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1)

This equipment is not intended for use in any area that might be considered a hazardous location, as described

in the National Electric Code NFPA 70, Article 500. Use of this equipment in a hazardous location could cause an

explosion or electrocution.

Never attempt to move an abrasive blasting pot containing abrasive. Never attempt to manually move abrasive

blasting pots greater than 6.5 cubic foot capacity. Always use at least two capable people to manually move an

abrasive blasting pot on flat, smooth surfaces. A mechanical lifting device must be used if an abrasive blasting pot

is moved in any other manner.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONS

Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve 4

HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONS

Failure to comply with ANY WARNING listed below could result in death or serious injury.

This product is not for use in wet environments. Always use a Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit (GFIC) for

all electrical power source connections. Use of this product in wet environments could create a shock or

electrocution hazard.

Frozen moisture could cause restrictions and obstructions in pneumatic control lines. Any restriction or

obstruction in the pneumatic control lines could prevent the proper activation and deactivation of the remote

control system, resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air. In conditions where moisture

may freeze in the control lines an antifreeze injection system approved for this application can be installed.

Do not cut, obstruct, restrict or pinch pneumatic control lines. Doing so could prevent the proper activation and

deactivation of the remote control system, resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air.

Use of Marco remote control switches with other manufacturer’s remote control systems could cause unintended

activation of remote control systems resulting in the release of high speed abrasive and compressed air. Only

Marco remote control switches should be used with Marco remote control systems.

Always be certain to have secure footing when abrasive blasting. There is a recoil hazard when abrasive blasting

starts that may cause user to fall and misdirect the abrasive stream at operator or bystander.

Never use an abrasive blasting pot or attachments as a climbing device. The person could slip and fall. The

abrasive blasting pot could become unstable and tip over.

For equipment manufactured by entities other than Marco, you must consult the Original Equipment Manufacturer

operator’s manuals, information, training, instructions and warnings, for the proper and intended use of all

equipment.

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes in the work area can present an ignition or explosion hazard

if allowed to collect in adequate concentrations. To reduce conditions that could result in a fire or an explosion,

provide adequate ventilation, eliminate all ignition or spark sources, keep the work area free of debris, store

solvents and solvent contaminated rags in approved containers, follow proper grounding procedures, do not

plug/unplug power cord or turn on/off power switches when flammable fumes are present, keep a working fire

extinguisher or provide another fire suppression system in the work area. Cease all operations and correct

condition if a spark or ignition source is identified during operation.

Always depressurize the entire system, disconnect all power sources and lockout/tagout all components before

any maintenance or troubleshooting is attempted. Failure to comply with the above warning could cause electrical

shock and inadvertent activation of equipment resulting in death or serious injury.

Moving parts can present an area where crushing, pinching, entanglement or amputation may occur. Do not

place body parts or foreign objects in any area where there are moving parts.

Surfaces of heated supply tanks, drums and/or lines as well as the adjoining plumbing may become hot during

normal use. Do not touch these heated surfaces without proper protection. Deactivate and allow sufficient time for

all surfaces to cool before attempting any maintenance.

High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can pierce skin and can cause a serious injury

that may result in amputation. Do not point gun or spray tip at anyone or at any part of the body. Keep clear

of any leaks or ruptures. Depressurize the entire system before attempting cleaning, inspecting, or servicing

equipment.

Exposure to toxic fluids or fumes may occur during the normal operation of this system. Before attempting to

fill, use, or service this system, read SDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using. Always use

proper Personal Protective Equipment when attempting to fill, use, or service this system.

The use of this product for any purpose other than originally intended or altered from its original design is

prohibited.

Never hang objects from the abrasive blasting pot handle. Doing so may cause the abrasive blasting pot to

become unstable and tip over.

Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve

HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONS

Failure to comply with ANY CAUTION listed below may result in minor or moderate injury.

Static electricity can be generated by abrasive moving through the abrasive blasting hose causing a shock

hazard. Prior to use, ground the abrasive blasting pot and abrasive blasting nozzle to dissipate static electricity.

High decibel noise levels are generated during the abrasive blasting process which may cause loss of hearing.

Ensure appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and hearing protection is in use.

Failure to comply with ANY NOTICE listed below could pose a hazard to personnel or property.

See Air & Abrasive Consumption Chart for estimated abrasive consumption rates and required air flow (cubic feet

per minute). Your system must meet these minimum requirements to ensure proper function and performance.

Always use abrasive that is dry and properly screened. This will reduce the potential for obstructions to enter the

remote control system, abrasive metering valve and abrasive blasting nozzle.

Moisture build-up occurs when air is compressed. Any moisture within the abrasive blasting system will cause

abrasive to clump, clogging metering valves, hoses and nozzles. Install an appropriately sized moisture separator

at the inlet of the abrasive blasting system. Leave the moisture separator petcock slightly open to allow for

constant release of water. If insufficient volume of air exists and petcock is unable to be left open (at all times)

petcock should be opened frequently to release water.

To reduce abrasive intrusion in the air supply hose, depressurize the abrasive blasting pot before shutting off air

supply from compressor.

Inspect abrasive blasting nozzle before placing into service. Damage to abrasive blasting nozzle liner or

jacket may occur during shipping. If you receive a damaged abrasive blasting nozzle, contact your distributor

immediately for replacement. Abrasive blasting nozzles placed into service may not be returned. Abrasive blasting

nozzle liners are made of fragile materials and can be damaged by rough handling and striking against hard

surfaces. Never use a damaged abrasive blasting nozzle.

Abrasive blasting at optimal pressure for the abrasive used is critical to productivity. Example: For an abrasive

with an optimal abrasive blasting pressure of 100 psi at the abrasive blasting nozzle, one pound per square inch

of pressure loss will reduce abrasive blasting efficiency by 1.5%. A 10 psi reduction in air pressure will cause a

15% loss of efficiency. Use a Needle Pressure Gauge to identify pressure drops in your system. Consult with your

abrasive supplier for the requirements of your abrasive.

Replace abrasive blasting nozzle if liner or jacket is cracked or damaged. Replace abrasive blasting nozzle if

original orifice size has worn 1/16” or more. Determine abrasive blasting nozzle wear by inserting a drill bit 1/16”

larger than original size of abrasive blasting nozzle orifice. If the drill bit passes through abrasive blasting nozzle,

replacement is needed.

Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve 6

Failure to comply with ANY NOTICE listed below could pose a hazard to personnel or property.

See Air & Abrasive Consumption Chart for estimated abrasive consumption rates and required air flow

(cubic feet per minute). Your system must meet these minimum requirements to ensure proper function and

performance.

When it comes to air & abrasive mixtures, more is not necessarily better. Optimum abrasive blasting efficiency

takes place when a lean air & abrasive mixture is used. To correctly set the abrasive metering valve, begin

with the valve fully closed and slowly increase the amount of abrasive entering the airstream. As you increase

the abrasive flow, watch for a “blue flame” at the exit of the abrasive blasting nozzle. Faster cutting, reduced

abrasive consumption and lower clean up costs, are benefits of the “blue flame”.

Abrasive blasting at optimal pressure for the abrasive used is critical to productivity. Example: For an abrasive

with an optimal abrasive blasting pressure of 100 psi at the abrasive blasting nozzle, one pound per square inch

of pressure loss will reduce abrasive blasting efficiency by 1.5%. A 10 psi reduction in air pressure will cause a

15% loss of efficiency. Use a Needle Pressure Gauge to identify pressure drops in your system. Consult with

your abrasive supplier for the requirements of your abrasive.

DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST

Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Description

The hose-end shutoff gives an operator the ability to remotely activate and deactivate the

flow of air and abrasive at the blast nozzle. This increases productivity and eliminates the

need for a pot tender. The Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve is an

OSHA-compliant blast hose-end shutoff valve. When the spring-assisted lever is moved to

the blasting position, the air and abrasive mixture in the blast hose is released, allowing it

to exit the blast nozzle. When the lever is released, it returns to the non-blasting position,

deactivating the flow of the air and abrasive mixture exiting the blast nozzle. Common

abrasives used include aluminum oxide, garnet, glass bead, mineral abrasives, and

staurolite. Typical applications include monument engraving, touch-up work, automobile

restoration, and construction equipment maintenance.

Operational Requirements

The following may cause safety hazards or reduced performance:

• Improper installation and/or maintenance of components.

• Use of anything other than hand pressure to activate remote control switch.

• Use of an air supply with pressure greater than 125 PSI.

Operating Instructions

Before using:

• Inspect all parts for signs of wear or damage. Remove Blastmaster®153 Remote Control

Valve from service if excessive wear or damage is found until parts can be replaced.

• Test Lever (5) by rotating it from Fully-Closed to Fully-Open. If Lever does not return

to the Fully-Closed position, remove Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve from

service until device is repaired and operating properly.

• Make sure Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve is securely attached to Nozzle Holder

Base (4) and Nozzle Holder Base is securely attached to Hose End (6).

• Install Nozzle Washer in Outlet Port (A).

• Install Nozzle (2) (not included) in Nozzle Cap (1). See Installation Instructions.

• Ensure Nozzle Cap (1) is securely attached to Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve.

• Pressurize the blast pot. (See blast pot Operator’s Manual.)

During use:

• To operate, quickly swing Lever (5) from the Fully-Closed to the Fully-Open position.

DO NOT use the Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve to restrict the abrasive flow.

Metering of the abrasive should occur at the abrasive metering valve on the abrasive

blasting pot. Using the Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve as a metering device will

greatly increase the wear of parts.

• To cease operation, release Lever (5) and allow it to return to the Fully-Closed position.

After use:

• Depressurize blast pot. (See blast pot Operator’s Manual.)

• Move Lever (5) to the Fully-Open position to release any residual pressure present in the

blast hose.

• Remove Nozzle Cap (1) and Nozzle Washer (3). Extract Ceramic Nozzle (2) from

Nozzle Cap.

• Remove Blastmaster®153 Remote Control Valve from Nozzle Holder Base (4).

allow it to remain open

without the application

of continuous hand

pressure by the

operator. Failure to

comply with the above

warning could result in

release of high speed

media and compressed

air resulting in death or

serious injury. OSHA 29
