HIGH PRESSURE WASH DOWN
The Aussie Raptor can be used for any high pressure water blasting application in construction, mining,
ship cleaning, dry docks, graffiti removal or for any other difficult task.
HIGH PRESSURE PISTON PUMPS
Your high pressure Udor pumping system is the heart of your water jetter. The pump has been specially
designed to be used with cold water (max 60ºC) for high pressure wash down applications. Your high
pressure Udor piston pump is designed to move a certain amount of water per revolution by its three solid
ceramic pistons.
High pressure is created once the pump outlet is restricted with a nozzle. All high pressure outlet
connections, hosing and equipment is rated over and above the maximum operating pressures of the
pump.
Please do not alter any valving on your pump; altering will void all warranty. For any malfunction of the
high pressure pumping system, please contact Australian Pump Industries or the Distributor you purchased
the unit from.
Because of safety/danger hazards with high pressure systems, only use approved high pressure hosing
and components when replacing or repairing your Raptor. For guidance on this, please contact Australian
Pump Industries or the Distributor you purchased the unit from.
Once wash down nozzles have worn, pressure loss will occur. Replacement of nozzles is necessary to
maintain constant and maximum efficiency of your Raptor. Using worn nozzles will reduce unloader valve
service life.

July 2012 Raptor Electric Operator’s Manual 5
Australian Pump Industries
WARNING… Do Not Alter Pressure Setting
Altering the high pressure unloader device and safety valve may result in severe injury or death. Warranty
will be void if any high pressure valve equipment has been altered by non-qualified staff. Over-speeding or
over-pressurizing of the pump system is dangerous and can severely reduce the operating life of the
machine. It may also result in injury or death!

AUSSIE GRIT BLAST HEAD SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
(optional accessory)
Note: the Aussie Grit Blast head does not come with a nozzle. You will need a 15º
Aussie Laser Cut ’M’ series nozzle that suits the high pressure blaster the kit
will be used with.
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 tip 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 activate the gun
with the high pressure blaster
running. Check the fan jet leaving the nozzle is the full width of the slot.
Adjust by rotating hexagonal tail coupling, ensuring that the marked side of
the tail always finishes on top.
6. With the high pressure washer turned off, connect the sand hose to the sand
intake tail and secure with hose clips. Secure sand blast probe to other end
of the hose in the same way. The probe should be lodged into the sand bag.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always protect eyes and face with
goggles and mask, and hands and arms with heavy work gloves when
spraying abrasive materials.
GRIT BLAST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect and open the water supply line before starting the pressure washer.
2. Squeeze the gun trigger to bleed air as normal.
3. Turn on the pressure washer and squeeze the gun trigger to activate the spray.
CAUTION: Always test spray on a scrap of similar material first! The high pressure spray could
damage the surface if the grit blaster is held too close.
4. To determine best distance for grit blasting, start with the spray nozzle a metre away from the
surface and gradually move closer, frequently checking the surface for damage.
6. 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.
7. Keep the sand covered to prevent the overspray from wetting the sand. Do not allow small pieces
of the sand bag to fall into the sand supply. A smaller piece could prevent the flow of sand.

ACCIDENT
REPORTING
FOR
INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS
Reporting. All accidents or injuries, whether resulting in “lost time” or
“no lost time” injuries, should be recorded in accordance with the
recommendations of AS 1885.1.
Incidents that result in “near misses” should also be recorded as a
means of providing a record of significant incidents that have the
potential to result in serious injury at the workplace, so appropriate
measures can be implemented to minimise or eliminate these potential
hazards.
Personal Injuries. In the event that a person is injured by the impact
of a water jet, the injury caused may appear insignificant and give little
indication of the extent of the injury beneath the skin and the damage
to deeper tissues. Although only a small hole may be present,
quantities of water may have penetrated the skin and entered the flesh
and organs causing serious injury.
Medical Recommendation. 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 examination is not immediately
possible (e.g. in remote situations), appropriate basic first aid
measures should be applied and the patient observed closely until
medical treatment is available.
Medical Alert Card. All operators engaged in commercial and
industrial water blasting operations should carry out an immediately
accessible, waterproof medical alert card. This card should:
 outline the possible nature of injuries and post-accident
infections that can be caused by high pressure water
blasting;
 provide details of immediate first-aid treatment until
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 blasting
injuries.
In addition, the card may also:
 identify the worker; and
 outline medical information about the worker; e.g. blood
type, allergies and conditions, such as asthma.
