TwinForce™ Series Waterblast Unit

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

Before operating the unit it is necessary to fully understand each component and how it functions. 

Following is a brief description of the main components of the TwinForce unit.

Engine

The engine is the source of power to drive 

the pump. Available engine options provide a 

power range of 325-400 HP (243-298 kW) in 

single unit configuration or 650-800 HP (485-

597 kW) in dual unit configuration. 

Clutch and PTO

The clutch, through use of a lever on top, pro-

vides the means to engage and disengage the 

clutch. When engaged, power is transmitted 

from the engine to the pump via the power 

take off (PTO) and belt drive. The PTO contains a 

shaft that rotates on bearings

Belt Drive

The belt drive is driven by the PTO. A pulley is 

mounted on the PTO shaft and, when engaged, 

drives the other pulley to operate the pump.

UN

x

 Pump

The UNx pump uses the power from the engine 

to pressurize the source water into high pres-

sure output. The pump is separated into two 

sections, the power end and the fluid end.

The power end contains the components that 

drive the pump. It is also referred to as the 

“crank end” because it contains a crankshaft.
The fluid end contains the components that de

-

termine the output pressure of the pump. The 

operator may change the output pressure and 

flow of the pump by changing the components 

in the fluid end. The fluid end is also referred 

to as the “wet” end as this is where the water 

travels in and out of the pump.

Refer to the pressure specific catalogs (15K, 

20K and 40K) for detailed exploded views and 

component part numbers for the fluid and 

power ends. The catalogs are available at the 

following website:

Inlet Water Filtration

Each pump has an associated dual water 

filtration package. Inlet water travels from the
