2.0 SAFETY WARNING
Operations with high pressure water can be potentially dangerous if caution is not exercised. Please read
and follow all of these instructions, in addition to the guidelines in the WJTA Recommended Practices
handbook.
2.1 Only competent and trained persons should operate this equipment.
2.2 Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure specified for any component in a system.
2.3 This equipment should always be used with an operator controlled dump mechanism to
release the high pressure water.
2.4 The immediate work area should be marked off to keep out untrained persons.
2.5 All personnel in the area should wear eye and hearing protection, as well as other
protective clothing in accordance with specific conditions.
2.6 Inspect the equipment for visible signs of deterioration, damage, or improper assembly.
Do not operate until repaired. Make sure all threaded connections are tight and leak free.
2.7 Check to see that all control functions work properly before going to high pressure.
2.8 If it is necessary to have a person work near the cleaning jets, then it is this person who
should have control of the pressure dump mechanism.
2.9 The tool should be securely supported. Strong back thrust is created by waterjets and
these forces can become unbalanced if a nozzle should become plugged.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
The SA 1900/1909 is an air powered rotary tool for high pressure fluids use. It can apply the power of
water jets to drilling or cleaning jobs.
The tool is designed to be used with all common waterblast pumps and compressed air systems. The unit
consists of two main components: the air motor and the water swivel. The tool can be used with all
standard lace rods and nozzle tips. Special cutting bits with jets are available.
3.1 WATER SWIVEL
The MODEL HI high pressure water swivel is constructed of hardened stainless steel. Two longwearing
high pressure seals offer many hours of leak-free operation. The unit is easy to work on, no special
equipment or adjustments are necessary. The swivel can handle 20/18 gpm of flow, respectively for the
SA 1900/1909, with only 400 psi of pressure loss (Cv = 1.0/.9 respectively) at a working pressure up to
15,000/22,000 psi, respectively. The input port for the SA 1900 is 3/8 NPT female. The input port for the
SA 1909 is female Autoclave Engineering 9/16 High Pressure, with an adapter to female 9/16 Medium
Pressure.
The output shaft for the SA 1900 is male 3/8 NPT thread. Adaptors for the SA 1900 are available to fit
standard lance rods. The output shaft for the SA 1909 is male, Autoclave Engineering 9/16 High
Pressure. Adapters for the SA 1909 are available to fit 1/4, 3/8, and 9/16 Medium Pressure lances.

6.0 MAINTENANCE
This tool has been designed to require a minimum amount of attention by the operator. However, some
guidelines should be followed to obtain top performance and a long, useful life.
This tool is capable of fairly high rpm, but it is recommended that a valve be installed in the airline to
regulate the top speed. For many applications lower rpm may improve performance. It will definitely be
easier on the motor and swivel.
6.1 AIR MOTOR
1. The air supply should be filtered and use a line oiler to supply lubrication.
2. For added protection when preparing to store the tools, pour a few ounces of oil or diesel directly into
the port and run briefly.
3. Keep the control handle clean and working properly.
4. Always blow out the airline before connecting hardware.
Repairs to the air drill are straight forward and require only standard metric wrenches. The most common
problems are worn and sticking vanes. Clean all components and lubricate thoroughly before
reassembling.
Refer to the appendix for more detailed information.
6.2 WATER SWIVEL
1. Grease the bearings regularly. Every few hours of operation inject enough to cause some grease to
push out past the retainer washer.
2. Periodically check the shaft collar and end nuts to be sure they are tight. Any looseness may cause a
premature seal or bearing failure.
3. The high pressure seals may leak occasionally but heal themselves during continued use. The seals
do not fail abruptly and can be used for several hours even after continuous leaking begins. As long as
the leak is tolerable the swivel can be operated without fear of damaging it.
4. Keep all connections clean and flush out the supply hoses before connecting to the swivel.
Refer to the appendix for more detailed information.
