2.9 Auxiliary Blasting Tool Connection
General
When a Hog Tool is connected to the auxiliary
connections, the Waterblasting electrical system
senses that the tool is connected and allows the
levers on the tool to control the high pressure
water to the blast head and hydraulic uid ow to
the spray bar thru-shaft motor. The truck hydraulic
system provides the hydraulic power that rotates
the spray bar on the tool. The truck UHP pump
and vacuum system provides water pressure and
vacuum.
Control Harness Connection
An electrical harness that runs from the outlet
plug on the front of the truck to a plug on the tool
connects the control switch levers on the tool with
the waterblasting control system on the truck.
Once the harness is connected, the operator can
control the high pressure water and hydraulic
systems on the tool blast head using the control
switch levers on the tool.
Hydraulic Connection
Hydraulic hoses with quick disconnect ttings are
connected from the tool to the truck hydraulic
system at the Tool Connection. The hydraulic
manifold on the truck controls the uid ow to
the tool. Switches and/or control knobs on the
tool provide the operator with full control of the
hydraulically activated features.
Vacuum Connection
Some hand operated tools like the Ground Hog
(Walk behind) are equipped with blast heads that
are designed to be attached directly to the SH8000
vacuum system. Flexible hoses with quick discon-
nect ttings provide vacuum from the truck to the
blast head. Once the hose is connected, vacuum
is supplied to the tool whenever the SH8000 is
running in Operate Mode and the 40K clutch is
engaged.
Make sure to protect the hoses from damage and
abrasion from dragging on the pavement. This
is particularly important when working a long
distance from the truck. In some situations anti-
chang protection may need to be added to the
hoses to protect them in contact areas.
