SAFETY GUIDELINES

Read and save all instructions. Before use, be sure everyone using this machine reads and

understands this manual, as well as any labels packaged with or attached to the machine.

• Know Your Elliott Tool. Read this manual carefully to learn your tool’s application and

limitations as well as the potential hazards specic to this tool.

• Keep Work Area Clean and Well Lit. Cluttered, dark work areas invite accidents.

• Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a protective hair covering

to contain long hair. It is recommended that the operator wear safety glasses with

side shields or a full face shield eye protection. Gloves and water repellant, nonskid

footwear are also recommended. Keep hands and gloves away from moving parts.

• Use Safety Equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear safety goggles or

glasses with side shields complying with current safety standards. Wear hearing

protection during extended use, respirator for a conned space and a dust mask for

dusty operations. Hard hats, face shields, safety shoes, respirators, etc. should be

used when specied or necessary. Keep a re extinguisher nearby.

• Keep Bystanders Away. Bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from the work

area to avoid distracting the operator and contacting the blade.

• Use The Right Tools. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job or operate at a

speed it was not designed for.

• Use Proper Accessories. Use Elliott accessories only. Be sure accessories are properly

installed and maintained.

• Check for Damaged Parts. Inspect guards and other parts before use. Check for

misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts or any other

conditions that may affect operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the

tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a

damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do Not Use” until repaired. A damaged part should

be properly repaired or replaced by an Elliott service facility. For all repairs, insist on

only identical replacement parts.

• Keep Hands Away from All Moving Parts.

• Do Not Overreach. Maintain Control. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense. DO NOT use a

tool when you are tired, distracted or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or any

medication causing decreased control.

• Unplug Tool. Unplug tool when it is not in use, before changing accessories or

performing recommended maintenance.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Maintain Tool Carefully. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.

Follow instructions for lubrication, maintenance and changing accessories. For

more information see “Maintenance” section. Periodically inspect the tool cord and

extension cords for damage. Have damaged parts repaired or replaced by an Elliott

service facility.

• Store Idle Tools. When not is use, store your tool in a dry, heated, secured place. For

more information see “Maintenance” section.

• Maintain Labels and Nameplates. These carry important information and will assist you

in ordering spare and replacement parts. If unreadable or missing, contact an Elliott

service facility for a replacement.

• Do not leave the system running from one tube to the next. The system should only be

running inside a tube.

• The operator must stand clear of the hose coils to avoid entanglement. The hose

should only be guided keeping hands well clear of hte tube entrace.

• The system must be used only for the purposes for which it was designed. Do not

throw the components on the oor, strike the housing in any way or use the parts as a

hammer to knock material into place. Any hard blow to the cylinder body can distort

the bore to the extent that the piston will seize and will need repair.

• The system must never be run without an oil supply. Lack of oil will result in

accelerated piston and bore wear and in extreme cases seizure of the piston. ALWAYS

ensure the lubricator is full before starting cleaning operations and that it is owing

when the tool is running.

• Do not exceed the recommended air pressure. Be sure the air pressure gauge is

operating properly and is checked with every use.

RECEIVING & INSTALLATION

Unpacking

The Elliott Soot Buster is shipped in a carton complete with all accessories listed. On arrival,

check for external damage to the box. If damage is found, notify the carrier and the supplier so

insurance inspectors can examine the box before it is unpacked. When opened, check the

contents against the packing and parts list. Report any damage or shortage to Elliott.

Ensure that there is no packaging material left inside the openings of the machine, especially

in the air inlets.

It is important that the system is assembled in the following sequence. Please refer to the diagram on

page 10.

Connecting

1. Check and make sure that air supply is shut-off. Connect air hose (1) to an air supply.

2. With one end of the 33 foot air hose (1) into the air supply, insert the other end into the air

inlet side of the lter lubricator (2). If necessary, ll the lubricator with clean SAE Oil.

3. Insert one end of the 16.5 foot air hose (3) into the socket on the stopcock side of the lter

lubricator (2) and the other into the socket on the foot valve (4). Insert the 33’ heavy-duty

hose (5) socket onto the foot valve male connection and slide the optional Y-Tube (6) down

the hose as shown on the opposite page.

4. Set the lter lubricator (2) shut off cock to the “Off” position, (the T-handle across the line of

ow). Set the foot valve (4) to the “Off“ position, (the foot pedal in the horizontal position).

Switch on the air supply and check the system pressure on the lter lubricator (2) gauge,

adjust if necessary. Open the shut off cock on the lter lubricator (2) and set the foot valve to

the “On” position. Allow a burst of air to ow through the system to purge the line.

5. Screw the air pulsator (7) onto the swivel end of the heavy-duty hose (5) and tighten down.

6. Holding the hose (5) about two feet from the air pulsator, allow the air pulsator and hose to

hang down, but keep above the ground. Switch the Soot Buster on and check that the

lubricator is delivering oil at one to two drops per second. Adjust if necessary and switch the

Soot Buster off.

7. Proceed to operation, page 8.

Disconnecting

Shut down the air supply at source and set the foot valve (4) and lter lubricator (2) shut off

cock to the “On” position to release any pressure trapped in the system. System components

may now be disconnected in any order, cleaned and stowed.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Soot Buster M5784 is designed for the quick and efcient cleaning of re tube boiler

tubes. It removes soot, scale and light deposits on the tube inside diameters. The Soot

Buster is an air activated cleaning tool that propels itself inside of the tube at 45 feet per

minute and scrubs the tube ID with each pulse.

After the Soot Buster has been set-up and connected according to the start-up

instructions, the following steps in operation are:

1. Determine the tube ID dimension and select the proper brush. The brush selected should

be sized up to 2”. Over 2” tube size, the brush should be approximately 1/8” larger in

diameter than the tube ID. (The most common brush sizes are listed on page 9.)

2. Thread the proper brush onto the air pulsator.

3. Re-check to be sure that all hose connections to air supply and optional vacuum cleaner

are secure. Air regulator and foot switch should be closed.

4. Turn on vacuum cleaner (if being used).

5. With the air switched off, push the brush approximately 2” into the boiler tube to be

cleaned. Make sure that the hose is free to run the length of the tube. The hose length

should be about 10’ longer than the tube length.

6. Switch on the air by depressing the foot valve. The Soot Buster will feed itself through the

tube pulling the hose after it.

7. At the end of the tube, the Soot Buster will stop advancing. Mark the hose at your end

with tape, to give you a good indicator of when the Soot Buster is at the end of the tube.

8. Without switching off the air, give the hose a rm pull. This will reverse the Soot Buster

returning itself to you.

9. Pull the hose gently as the Soot Buster returns to make sure that it does not lock up in

the tube.

10. When the Soot Buster has returned, shut off the air by the foot switch and move the

brush and pulsator to the next tube to be cleaned.

11. Repeat operation until all tubes are cleaned.
