Safety Information
Check Water Supply
Use only clean water in any Ultra-High pressure
system. DO NOT accept water drawn from reten-
tion ponds, canals or other non-potable sources.
Purge System
Before attaching spray bar to Hog Head assembly,
engage pump at low speed to purge the system.
Any dirt or debris in the system can clog nozzle
orices and cause system pressure to spike exces-
sively, causing damage to components.
Check Water Blasting Heads
Check blasting heads for smooth and proper
operation before each shift. Do not use equipment
that has not been checked thoroughly.
Check Control Components
Check all switches and control panel devices to
ensure each is working properly before beginning
operations. Do not use equipment if any device is
malfunctioning.
Hog Technologies Tractor Brake
Always set the tractor brake before beginning
any testing, pressure testing system or
blasting. The force from blasting heads can
move tractor backwards causing blast to cross
the path of people or equipment.
Use Safety Protection
Always use eye protection to protect eyes from
projected debris. Use ear protection to protect
from noise levels generated from pump, vacuum
and waterblasting operations.
ULTRA-HIGH PRESSURE BLASTING CAN CAUSE DEBRIS
TO BE PROJECTED UNEXPECTEDLY IN AND AROUND
THE WORK AREA THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
MAKE SURE ALL PERSONNEL STAY WELL CLEAR OF THE
BLASTING AREA AND USE HARD HATS, EYE AND EAR
PROTECTION.
Know Your Surroundings
Always be aware of and pay attention to your
surroundings. – i.e. - truck, hoses, people, walls,
moving vehicles, live lanes of trac, etc.
Test System
With the spray bar installed with proper high co-
hesive nozzles, operate the pump at low pressure
to check for nozzle accuracy and leaks in spray
bars, connections or nozzles. Should any repairs
or adjustments be necessary, disengage the pump
to relieve all pressure before making any required
repairs or adjustments.
TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT,
USE ONLY THOROUGHLY TRAINED PERSONNEL TO
PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS. ALWAYS TEST ALL
COMPONENTS AT LOW PRESSURE.
Start at Low Pressure
Always start blasting with the system at low
pressure (low RPM) and slowly increase RPM to
operating pressure. Engage and disengage 40K
switch two times at operating pressure to check
operation of blasting heads and dump valve before
starting blasting operations.
Set System Pressure
With system operating properly, set your pressure
according to methods described by pump manu-
facturer’s instructions. Refer to the Pump oper-
ating manual for specications and instructions.
Check Your Stripe Hog Dumping Pressure
When setting pressure ALWAYS ensure that the
system pressure drops to less than 100 psi (7
bar) immediately when the 40K STOP switch is
pressed. If this does not relieve system pressure
immediately to below 100 psi (7 bar) when re-
leased, do not use the unit until repairs are made
to the dump valve.
Use the Minimum Pressure Required
Do not exceed the operating pressure of the sys-
tem’s lowest pressure-rated component. All equip-
ment pressure rating and warning tags should be
left intact.
Be Prepared
If the equipment malfunctions or a malfunction is
suspected, immediately stop all blasting activity
and relieve the pressure in the system before at-
tempting any repair. Always follow manufacturer’s
repair instructions.
