3.1 Start Up/Shutdown Introduction
Before operating the Stripe Hog check the uid
levels in the truck engine, transmission, OMSI
gearbox and hydraulic system. A thorough un-
derstanding of the component systems and their
operation is essential to the proper operation of
the Stripe Hog. Never allow inexperienced and
untrained personnel to operate the Stripe Hog.
This manual and the associated manufacturers’ in-
formation is provided to enhance your knowledge
of the Stripe Hog. Make sure you have read them
carefully and fully understand the truck and all
waterblasting components and systems in theory
and operation.
To make operation as safe and productive as pos-
sible, it is essential to conduct a thorough pre-
start inspection before operating the machine.
You should walk around the unit and visually
inspect the Hog Arm, blasting heads, high pres-
sure hoses, hydraulic hoses, vacuum hoses, and
all waterblasting system components for obvi-
ous signs of leaks, wear and deterioration. The
inspection should be conducted in an orderly and
consistent fashion to ensure all critical points
are inspected each time. Do not operate the unit
until all questionable components are repaired or
replaced.
The startup and shutdown procedures described
in this section are for a typical truck chassis
equipped with an automatic or manual transmis-
sion. This information is provided as a general
guide and overview of the process for educational
purposes. The exact procedure for your truck
may be dierent, depending on the chassis and
the options selected. Hog Technologies includes
a quick reference placard usually attached to the
drivers side sun visor in the cab, that provides
the proper startup and shutdown procedures for
your specic truck.
