WARNING
Operations with this equipment can be potentially hazardous.
Caution MUST be exercised prior to and during machine and water
jet tool use. Please read and follow all of these instructions, in addition
to the guidelines in the WJTA Recommended Practices handbook,
available online at www.wjta.org . Deviating from safety instructions
and recommended practices can lead to severe injury and/or death.
•
Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure specified for
any component in a system.
•
The immediate work area MUST be marked off to keep out
untrained persons.
•
Inspect the equipment for visible signs of deterioration,
damage, and improper assembly. Do not operate if damaged,
until repaired.
•
Make sure all threaded connections are tight and free of leaks.
•
Users of the ABX-2L Hose Tractor MUST be trained and/
or experienced in the use and application of high-pressure
technology and cleaning, as well as all associated safety
measures, according to the WJTA Recommended Practices
for the use of High-pressure Waterjetting Equipment.
•
An anti-withdrawal device (back-out preventer) MUST be used
at all times. The back-out prevention device is the Hose Stop
Collet located within the Hose Guide Assembly. StoneAge
offers several different size Hose Stop Collets. The Collet Size
Reference guide is located on the Hose Guide Assembly.
•
The Control Box should be located in a safe location where the
Operator has good visibility of the pipe and hose. The ABX-2L
Hose Tractor and Control Box MUST be supervised at all times
and should never be left unattended.
•
Test the Control Box before operating the ABX-2L Hose Tractor
with high-pressure water to verify the control valves move the
hose in the intended direction, and that the dump valve and
hose clamp are working properly.
•
Do not fully release the hose clamp (decreasing pressure to
zero) during operation, or the ABX-2L Hose Tractor will release
the hose and may create a dangerous runaway hose condition,
which can result in severe injury and/or death.
•
Always de-energize the system before opening the door to
service or replace any parts. Failure to do so can result in severe
injury and/or death.
•
When moving the ABX-2L Hose Tractor lift with care to prevent
bodily injury.
•
Do not operate the ABX-2L Hose Tractor while either side door
is open.
