Stripe Hog Systems
2.12 Joystick Console
The joystick console can be located on either side
of the cab and adjusted to dierent angles for
operator convenience during operations.
The Hog Arm, blasting head functions and the
truck hydrostatic drive are controlled by controls
and switches on the joystick console. Digital
gauges monitor the vacuum, charge pressure and
ultra-high pressure in the waterblasting system.
The following is a description of the joystick
console controls, switch functions and other
console components and indicator lights:
Joystick Control Lever
The joystick controls the motion of the Hog Arm.
Move it forward to lower the arm, pull it back
to raise it. Move it to the right and the hog arm
moves right, move it left and the arm moves left.
Squeeze the red trigger and push left and right
to move the secondary section of the Hog Arm
left and right. When the joystick is released, the
handle automatically returns to the center and the
Hog Arm stops in that position.
Joystick Rocker Switch
A momentary switch that activates the spray head
swivel control. Squeeze the joystick trigger then
simultaneously press and hold the rocker switch.
Move the joystick right to rotate the spray heads
right. Move the joystick left to rotate the spray
heads left. Release the rocker switch to exit swivel
control.
START/STOP Switch
The START/STOP switch on the joystick console
controls the diverter valve. When the START
button is pressed the diverter valve closes and
high water pressure from the ultra-high pressure
pump is directed to the spray bars on the blast-
ing head. When the STOP Button is pressed the
diverter valve opens and the high pressure water
is diverted to the clean water tank. Pressure is
reduced to 0 psi.
Head Rotation Speed Dial
The maximum rotation speed for each spray head
is preset in the PLC. The Head Rotation speed dial
controls the speed of both spray bars from 0 to the
preset maximum speed. Rotating the dial clock-
wise increases speed. Rotating it counterclockwise
reduces speed. Setting the Head Rotation dial to
0 will stop the rotation of the spray bars.
