Safety Information
1.1 General Safety
Use Professional Training
Operating high pressure Waterblasting equipment
requires detailed professional training, including
safe work practices and procedures. Only pro-
fessionally trained personnel should be allowed
to setup, operate, or maintain high pressure
Waterblasting equipment. If you have not com-
pleted the Hog Technologies basic training course
you will be a danger to yourself and others. The
velocity of water at nozzle tip exceeds that of a
bullet coming out of a gun. Contact with the high
pressure blast can result in the loss of limb or water
injection into the bloodstream. If injection occurs
in a vulnerable part of the body death may result.
Always Read Instructions
Read and follow all the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions prior to using any Hog Technologies product.
Contact Hog Technologies (877-HOG ROAD) should
any questions arise.
Major Component Operation Manuals
The suppliers of some major components such as
truck chassis, tractors, engines, pumps, and drive
units, provide their own operation manuals which
have been included with your equipment. You
should read the information in this manual and the
manuals of other manufacturers completely and
have a thorough understanding of all component
systems and their proper operation before operat-
ing your equipment.
REMEMBER - IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EQUIPMENT IS SAFE
FOR YOU AND YOUR CREW. ALWAYS EXER-
CISE GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN INSTALLING
OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT AND WHILE
OPERATING WATERBLASTING EQUIPMENT.
Work Area Safety
Remember, safety is first! Only set up to work in
areas properly protected from traffic and other
hazards. Individuals being struck by vehicles or
mobile equipment lead to many work zone fatali-
ties or injuries. Work zones need traffic controls
identified by signs, cones, barrels and barriers.
You should always wear high visibility clothing
with a fluorescent background and made of retro-
-reflective material to be more visible to motorists
and reduce the possibility of an accident. Work
stations should always be illuminated.
Outfit all operators with proper safety apparel.
Always use eye protection to shield from pro-
jected debris. Use ear protection to protect from
noise levels generated from pump, vacuum and
waterblasting heads. It is very important to wear
steel toed boots that provide good traction on
slippery surfaces such as on top of water and
debris tanks.
Never wear loose clothing. Loose clothing can get
caught on moving or rotating parts causing serious
injury or even death.
Most ultra-high pressure Waterblasting opera-
tions generate noise levels above 90 dB. Hearing
protection is required in accordance with OSHA
standards.
