2.4 Ultra-high Pressure Water System
The ultra-high water blasting system consists of
two water storage tanks, charge pump, Ultra-High
Pressure (UHP) pump, high pressure hoses and
the Hog Head. Switches and the joystick in the
control panel enable the operator to control all
aspects of the high pressure blasting system from
the cab of the truck.
Each manufacturer of the high pressure water
blasting system components provides an informa-
tion and operating manual with its product. It is
extremely important that you read the manuals
and become familiar with the proper care and
operation of the components before operating the
water blasting system.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE WATER FROM SPRAY JETS OR RUPTURED
HOSES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
ALWAYS BE SURE WORK AREA IS CLEAR OF PEOPLE,

Clean Water Tank
The clean water tanks are mounted to the chassis
just forward of the debris tank and made of plastic
to reduce corrosion and provide a supply of clean,
fresh water to the charge pump. A sight tube on
the side of the forward tank indicates the water
level and a valve on the passenger side, just below
the tank allows for quick draining.
The clean water fill connection accommodates
large hoses that are typically connected to a me-
tered source like a fire hydrant to expedite the
filling of the tank. Operators must always monitor
the tank closely during filling operations as the
flow of water from
a hydrant will be greater than
the flow capacity of tank air vent. Overfilling the
tank will cause excessive pressure and damage
the tank.
Only use potable water (clean enough to drink)
to increase the service life of the components in
the Ultra-High Pressure system. Always flush the
water source for several minutes prior to filling
the tank to help ensure that no debris enters the
system. Additionally, the tank should be flushed
