AUSSIE HIGH PRESSURE BLASTER RISK ASSESSMENT
MODELS:
In line with the Naonal Occupaon Health & Safety Commission’s requirements the data
below applies to the following Aussie high pressure water blaster models:
 Raptor Extreme 18 (Class B)
 Raptor Extreme 21 (Class B)
 Raptor Extreme 24 (Class B)
DESCRIPTION:
Engine drive hydro-blasters designed for professional cleaning applicaons.
MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION:
Aussie Raptor pressure washers are mounted on heavy duty trolley mounted frames. They consist of a quality internal
combuson petrol engine driving a triplex style three piston high pressure pump. The machines are supplied with wheels
for ease of portability and manoeuvrability. The machines can be supplied with hose reels and up to 45 metres of high
pressure hose to increase operator convenience.
RISK RANKING METHOD:
Risk is the combinaon of the likelihood of a specic unwanted event and the potenal consequences if it should occur.
RISK RANKING TABLE:
The consequences (loss outcomes) are
combined with the likelihood (of those
outcomes) in the risk ranking table to
idenfy the risk rank of each loss event
(e.g. a consequence of ‘Moderate’ with a
likelihood of ‘Likely’ yields a risk rank of
17).
The table yields a risk rank from 1 to 25
for each set of probabilies and
consequences. A rank of 25 is the
highest magnitude of risk that is a highly
likely, very serious event.
A rank of 1 represents the lowest
magnitude of risk, an almost impossible
very low consequence event.
Controls must be taken to either
eliminate or minimise the risk.

UNLOADER SETTING
The high pressure unloader on the machine is factory
set to operate the pump at it’s rated pressure.
DO NOT ADJUST. Tampering with the unloader will
void warranty and can be dangerous.
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
Before proceeding with assembly of your new Aussie Eco
Raptor high pressure blaster, check that all parts listed
below are included.
 1 x 500 bar gun lance assembly
 1 x 500 bar high pressure hose

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
AFTER EACH USE
If cleaning agents have been mixed with the
incoming water, it is essenal to ush the
machine with clean water aer use.
If there is a danger of freezing an-freeze should be mixed
with the ush water or the machine must be completely
drained.
Aer the nal ush stop the machine. DO NOT allow the
machine to idle for more than 15 seconds. This is
parcularly important when there is a danger of freezing.
Do not run for longer without water supply.
STORAGE
Store the washer in an upright posion, preferably drained
of water if there is a danger of freezing (or ll with an-
freeze).
PUMP CRANKCASE LUBRICATION
Proper pressure washer pump crankcase lubricaon will
help extend the working life of the machine. Follow these
important guidelines. We recommend keeping a simple
service log book.
 Change pump oil every 40 hours of use high quality
oil. (SAE 75W-90)
 Pump oil level can be checked with the dip sck
under the breather cap or by viewing the oil sight
gauge where ed. The oil level is correct if level is
in the centre of the gauge. If oil level is low, ll to
correct level with recommended oil (SAE 75W-90).
DO NOT OVERFILL CRANKCASE!
 Replace oil in gearbox (separate chamber) with SAE
90 gear oil every three months.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
 Rinse lter in supply hose connecon regularly.
 Use correct size nozzles for machine and replace
when worn, check serial tag for correct size.
 Drain water from pressure hoses, gun/lance
assembly and accessories aer use.
 Protect pump from freezing. Failure to remove
water from the pump in freezing temperatures will
result in damaged pump manifold.
 Use ONLY injector of the size and type designed for
this model.
 DO NOT tamper with unloader valve adjustment or
alter engine speed.
 DO NOT siphon chemicals through the pump, it is
designed for water only.
 Incoming water supply must not exceed 60°C,
otherwise pumps seal damage could result
 Follow engine manufactures guidelines for engine
maintenance. (see engine manual)
WARNING:
CHECK NOZZLES AND REPLACE IF WORN
If pressure drops o, check nozzle for wear.
Nozzles should be replaced every 40 hours. Using
the machine with the incorrect nozzle size or worn
nozzle will void warranty and can be dangerous to
the operator.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always
protect eyes and face with safety glasses and
mask, and hands and arms with heavy work
gloves when spraying abrasive materials.
1. Fit grit blast gun/lance kit at end of high pressure
hose, in place of normal gun/lance assembly.
2. Lodge sand probe into sand bag. Note the sand
must be dry.
3. Connect and open the water supply line to the
blaster before starng the pressure washer.
4. Squeeze the gun trigger to bleed air as normal
keeping the p of the gun poinng down.
5. Turn on the pressure washer and squeeze the gun
trigger to acvate the spray.
CAUTION: Always test spray on a scrap of similar
material rst! The high pressure spray could
damage the surface if the grit blaster is held too
close.
6. To determine best distance for grit blasng, start
with the spray nozzle a metre away from the
surface and gradually move closer, frequently
checking the surface for damage.
7. Always point the nozzle downward when not
spraying. This prevents water from entering the
sand supply. If water does get into the sand
supply hose, remove the probe from the sand,
hold the gun trigger open, and let the hose air
dry. Always be sure the sand hose is dry before
using.
8. Keep the sand covered to prevent the overspray
from weng the sand. Do not allow small pieces
of the sand bag to fall into the
sand supply as they could
prevent the ow of sand.
AUSSIE GRIT BLAST INSTRUCTIONS (oponal accessory)
GRIT BLAST HEAD SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unwind the tail coupling and remove top of the
blast head. Screw in the nozzle to the tail.
2. Replace the tail and ensure
that the p of the nozzle is a
minimum of 28mm from
leading edge of body and a
maximum of 36mm. The fan
spray from the nozzle should
be perpendicular to the sand
intake tail. Mark the top side
of the hexagonal coupling
for reference.
3. Line up the dimple in the
ceramic nozzle perfectly
with the sand intake tail and
hold in place with the
holder. Screw down the
head locking nut.
4. The fan produced by the two nozzles must be
aligned.
5. Connect grit blast head to hp gun/lance and
acvate the gun with the high pressure blaster
running. Check the fan jet leaving the nozzle is
the full width of the slot. Adjust by rotang
hexagonal tail coupling, ensuring that the marked
side of the tail always nishes on top.
6. With the high pressure washer turned o,
connect the sand hose to the sand intake tail and
secure with hose clips.

ACCIDENT REPORTING
Reporng.
All accidents or injuries, whether resulng in “lost me”
or “no lost me” injuries, should be recorded in
accordance with the recommendaons of AS 1885.1.
Incidents that result in “near misses” should also be
recorded as a means of providing a record of signicant
incidents that have the potenal to result in serious injury
at the workplace, so appropriate measures can be
implemented to minimise or eliminate these potenal
hazards.
Personal Injuries.
In the event that a person is injured by the impact of a
water jet, the injury caused may appear insignicant and
give lile indicaon of the extent of the injury beneath
the skin and the damage to deeper ssues. Although only
a small hole may be present, quanes of water may have
penetrated the skin and entered the esh and organs
causing serious injury.
Medical Recommendaon.
If an accident occurs where pressurised water penetrates
or appears to have penetrated the skin, medical
assistance should be sought immediately.
Immediate First Aid.
Where medical examinaon is not immediately possible
(e.g. in remote situaons), appropriate basic rst aid
measures should be applied and the paent observed
closely unl medical treatment is available.
Medical Alert Card.
All operators engaged in commercial and industrial water
blasng operaons should carry out an immediately
accessible, waterproof medical alert card. This card
should:
 outline the possible nature of injuries and post-
accident infecons that can be caused by high
pressure water blasng;
 provide details of immediate rst-aid treatment
unl medical treatment can be arranged; and
 provide the name or names of medicos (and
contact phone numbers) who should be contacted
for expert medical advice for the treatment of
high pressure water blasng injuries.
In addion, the card may also:
 idenfy the worker; and
 outline medical informaon about the worker; e.g.
blood type, allergies and condions, such as
asthma.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION
Immediate hospital aenon should be given to personnel who
sustain equipment related injuries while operang the system. In
such cases, it is vital that medical personnel be apprised of all
facts relevant to such injuries.
Therefore, all operang personnel should be provided with
waterproof emergency medical tags or cards describing the
nature of their work and the possibility of injury inherent in the
use of a water blasng device. The tag or card should also bear
the following standard noce:

The safety valve prevents damage to the pump seals and
valves caused by a pressure spike.
The safety valve should only be reset aer checks to
ensure the unloader valve is working correctly. If in doubt
contact, your nearest Aussie Eco-clean service centre.
The following steps should be taken to reset the safety
valve, with the unit running.
1. Unscrew the lock nut (C) on the safety valve and the
adjusng the hex knob (D), it should be screwed in
all the way.
2. Loosen the lock nut (B) on the unloader and wind
the unloader knob (A) in gradually unl the required
pressure is obtained whilst the trigger is pulled and
water is running through the pump. Do not exceed
the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
3. The lock nut (B) should then be wound up to meet
the adjusng nut. The small grub screw in the
locking ring should be screwed in to secure.
4. Paint mark across the nut and knob to idenfy any
tampering with the seng.
5. With the pump running at the required pressure,
the adjusng screw (D) on the safety valve should
be wound out unl there is a slight drip. Screw it in
one quarter of a turn, or unl the drip stops, this will
set the safety valve 10% over the required pressure.
The lock nut (C) should then be locked o. Paint
mark to idenfy any tampering.
6. Repeat running with the trigger open and then
closed two or three mes to ensure safety valve
doesn’t blow o pressure.
7. If safety valve connues to trip contact your nearest
Aussie Eco-clean service centre.
