Section 2 - Stripe Hog Systems
2.2 Ultra-high Pressure Water System
The ultra high waterblasting 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
waterblasting 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,
HANDS, FEET, ETC., BEFORE ENGAGING THE DUMP VALVE
40K SWITCH TO ACTIVATE THE ULTRA-HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM.
Clean Water Tank
The clean water tanks are mounted to the chas-
sis 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 site
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.
An optional hose and quick connect coupler at
the rear of the truck provides a connection to an
optional trailer mounted water tank to provide
additional water which dramatically increases
working time between refills. A three-way valve
in the intake hose allows the operator to select to
use the trailer tank, main tanks or the truck and
trailer tanks simultaneously. To avoid water sup-
ply problems to the charge water and UHP pumps,
always make sure the valve is set to the desired
position before waterblasting operations begin.
