Before You Start
Safety & Compatibility
Before using HTS678, check the external compressor, dry walnut abrasive, cleaning target, adapter seal, intake-valve position, selected operating mode, required personal protective equipment (PPE), and final residual-media recovery steps. Always follow the service procedure for the specific vehicle when it differs from general product guidance.
External Compressor Required
HTS678 requires an external high-pressure air compressor, which is not included. Use an external compressor with air pressure up to 0.7 MPa; 6 bar or more is generally recommended. Make sure it also provides sufficient continuous airflow and that the air tank, hose, quick-connect fittings, and duty cycle suit the blasting workflow.
Use Dry Filtered Air
Use dry, filtered compressed air. Moisture may cause walnut abrasive to clump or feed inconsistently; a dryer/water-separation setup is recommended.
Compatible Walnut Abrasive
The recommended fill is generally 3–5 kg of 0.6–1.2 mm walnut abrasive. Follow the HTS678 operating instructions for loading and use. Walnut abrasive inclusion may vary by selected package option; check the selected package contents before ordering.
Intake-Side Cleaning Scope
HTS678 is designed for intake-pipe and back-of-intake-valve cleaning. It is not designed for injectors, throttle valves, cylinders, or combustion chambers.
Adapter Match and Sealing
The 23-adapter set supports multiple intake-port shapes, but it is not universal for every vehicle. Before blasting, make sure the selected adapter fits the engine intake port, forms a secure seal, and does not interfere with surrounding components.
Valve Closure And Port Isolation
Start blasting only after confirming that the target intake valve is fully closed. Clean one intake port at a time and isolate other intake openings as required by the service procedure for the specific vehicle.
One Operating Mode At A Time
Use Standard Mode or Expert Mode according to the HTS678 operating instructions and the service procedure for the specific vehicle. Use only one operating mode at a time.
Protective Equipment and Walnut-Media Safety
Walnut-shell media can create dust and may trigger allergies. Wear suitable eye and respiratory protection, provide ventilation, and follow the walnut-media supplier Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Walnut Abrasive Reuse
Reuse walnut abrasive only when the service procedure for the specific vehicle permits it and the recovered media remains suitable for reuse.
Residual Media Must Be Recovered
Remove visible residual walnut abrasive before starting the engine instead of relying on it to burn away. Before starting the engine, vacuum out the remaining abrasive and inspect the cleaned area to make sure no visible media remains.
Mechanical Cleaning and Chemical Cleaner Guidance
Chemical cleaners vary by product and application, and walnut blasting does not guarantee a specific vehicle-performance improvement. HTS678 is designed for intake-side carbon-deposit removal.
