Proper Remote-Control Attachment Instructions
(Clean, formatted version of OEM guidance)
Follow these steps for safe, reliable installation:
1. Secure the Deadman Handle
-
Attach the handle to the blast hose near the nozzle using hose clamps or heavy wire ties.
2. Create a Strain-Relief Loop
Make a 6–6–6 loop with the twin-line/control cord:
-
6" away from the blast hose
-
6" parallel to the hose
-
6" back to the hose
Secure this loop by:
-
Wrapping duct tape twice around the twin-line, then around the blast hose.
(This is only needed at the first connection near the handle.)
3. Tape the Twin-Line Along the Hose
-
Starting from the nozzle end, wrap duct tape around the twin-line and blast hose every 3 feet.
This prevents strain, preserves hose life, and ensures consistent remote operation.
