DANGER
THE HIGH PRESSURE STREAM FROM THE SPRAY NOZZLES
CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF IT COMES IN
CONTACT WITH HANDS, FEET OR ANY PART OF A PERSON’S
BODY. IT CAN ALSO PROJECT LOOSE DEBRIS IN THE
AREA OF THE HOG HEAD WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY, PARTICULARLY TO THE EYES. HIGH
PRESSURE WATER CAN TEAR OFF SKIN AND INJECT WATER
DIRECTLY INTO THE BLOOD STREAM WHICH CAN BE FATAL.
ALWAYS DEACTIVATE THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BEFORE
RAISING THE HOG HEAD AND MAKE SURE THE AREA IS
CLEAR OF PEOPLE, HANDS AND FEET BEFORE ENGAGING
THE PTO, CHARGE WATER DUMP VALVE AND 40K SWITCHES
TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO TEST AND
INSPECT THE NOZZLES WITH THE HOG HEAD RAISED.
If a nozzle rates as a 5 or higher on the Nozzle
Quality Chart, it is worn or damaged and must be
replaced. Nozzles are easy and quick to replace.
Refer to the nozzle replacement procedure in the
Maintenance section of this manual for detailed
instructions for replacing nozzles.
Nozzles typically last 12-16 hours of blast time,
however, you can experience shorter or longer
nozzle life, depending on the source and quality of
water being used. Any dirt or debris in the system
can clog a nozzle orifice causing a spike in the high
pressure system which will rupture the burst discs
and could cause damage to components.
NOTICE:
NOZZLES MUST ALWAYS BE CHECKED WITH THE SPRAY
BAR PROTECTOR REMOVED TO AVOID INACCURATE
READINGS. START THE PUMP AT LOW PRESSURE AND
SLOWLY INCREASE TO OPERATING PRESSURE TO CHECK
NOZZLE QUALITY AND FOR LEAKS ON THE SPRAY BAR,
NOZZLES AND HOSES. SHUTDOWN THE WATERBLASTING
SYSTEM AND TRUCK ENGINE TO RELIEVE ALL WATER AND
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE BEFORE MAKING ANY REQUIRED
REPAIRS OR ADJUSTMENTS. TO INCREASE THE LIFE
EXPECTANCY OF THE SPRAY BARS AND NOZZLES, ALWAYS
REMEMBER TO INSTALL THE SPRAY BAR PROTECTORS
BEFORE RESUMING BLASTING OPERATIONS.
You can select different nozzle sizes in a variety of
spray bar configurations to accommodate the ma
-
terial to be removed and the type of substrate. The
Nozzle Quality Guide in this section and Spray Bar
Configuration Diagrams located in the Waterblast
-
ing Operation section will provide assistance in
choosing the right nozzle configurations for most
removal applications. The number of nozzles in a
spray bar should be considered in every removal
situation. The number of nozzles and the nozzle
orifice size will determine the aggressiveness of
the spray bar. As operators becomes more expe-
rienced, nozzle selection becomes easier. You can
also contact Hog Technologies Customer Support
toll free at (877) HOG-ROAD for assistance in
selecting the proper spray bar and nozzle con-
figuration for your job.
