Stripe Hog Systems
potentiometer that controls truck speed, a Dump
Valve ON/OFF toggle switch that opens or closes
the high pressure diverter valve (dump valve)
and a momentary trigger in the hand grip that
activates the settings on the remote control. This
control saves time by increasing the truck speed
between lines where removal is not required and
reduces wear and tear on the high pressure blast-
ing system by increasing truck speed enough to
leave blasting pressure activated between the
painted lines.
To use the remote, set the skip truck speed by
turning the potentiometer clockwise to the high-
est safe setting for the current work environment.
The setting is usually, but not always, 100 on the
dial. This sets the speed the truck will accelerate
to when the control is activated (Skip speed). The
Dump Valve ON/OFF switch is always in the ON
position unless it is required to be turned OFF to
shutdown high pressure water to the blastheads in
an emergency or other situations that may occur.
With the control set, begin blasting the dashed
paint lines. Note that the Dump Vale ON/OFF
switch must be in the ON position before
the Start button on the joystick control will
activate the high pressure water supply to
the blastheads. When the blastheads reach the
end of a painted line, squeeze the trigger on the
skip control. Truck speed will increase to the speed
preset on the skip speed remote speed dial. When
the blastheads reach the next line, release the
trigger. The truck speed will immediately decrease
to the blasting operation speed preset on the
joystick Truck Speed dial. In most situations, the
skip speed can be set fast enough to eliminate the
need to shutdown the high pressure water supply
to the blastheads between lines without causing
damage. This signicantly reduces wear and tear
on ultra high pressure water system components.
Video System
The video system provides improved visibility
for the operator during waterblasting operations.
Four strategically mounted cameras and a large
monitor mounted in the cab allow the operator to
view each side of the blasting area, the UHP pump
and other primary waterblasting equipment or the
rear of the vehicle for safe backing. Refer to the
video manufacturer’s information for instructions
on operating and maintaining the video system.
