4-7-4 Final Setup
1. Connect the blender to the appropriate power source .
2. Connect the compressed air piping, ensuring that a 5-micron air
filter is installed, along with the proper water trap, and lubrication
unit, if required. Verify that 60 psi (4.14 bar) of clean, dry
compressed air is supplied to the blender.
Important!
Again, make sure that proper air supply connections are made to
the blender, as dirty, contaminated, wet air can damage blender
components and can quickly cause poor performance and
accuracy!
Make sure that the blender is supplied with clean, dry,
60 psi (4.14 bar) compressed air.
3. After powering up the blender and checking the safety circuit, use
the diagnostics menu to verify the following:
• Load cell connections
• Weigh hopper dump valve functions

• Mixer motor function
• Mixer high level switch function

Percent, or Parts by entering the diagnostics menu and pressing
the “8” key. Then select the mode following the key prompt on the
screen.
6. Startup the blender by selecting “1” (startup) from the main menu,
