Installation

Pneumatic Startup (Rotating DuraBlaster® ONLY)
Start up the conveyor and force all dollies up. The ideal situation is to have one person ready to
adjust the tracking speed flow control on the driver side of the DuraBlaster® and a second person to
activate the tracking output on your controller. Alternatively, the following methods are also
acceptable: push the manual override button on the air solenoid on the air panel, step on the bell hose
or break the photo-eye. When a dollie is close to the location the DuraBlaster® is pointed, then
activate the tracking solenoid and watch to verify that the DuraBlaster® rotates toward the exit of the
tunnel while pointing at the dollie. If the DuraBlaster® rotates too fast, turn the flow control clockwise
(in), to slow it down. Turn the flow control counterclockwise (out) to speed it up. Repeat this
procedure until it follows the dollie closely. Next adjust the passenger side flow control to rotate at the
same speed as the driver side.
The driver side wheel will move approximately 40 inches while being tracked by the DuraBlaster®.
The chart below shows the rotation time in seconds needed to correspond to various conveyor
speeds.

Note: Flushing the system removes any manufacturing, construction, or installation debris that
may clog the nozzles.
Once both sides are adjusted properly, the activation point and timers need to be set.
