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.

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!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - IMPORTANT
1. Never direct the spray jet at any person or animal.
2. Never direct spray jet at any surface that may contain asbestos material.
3. Never hold a finger over the high pressure nozzle.
4. Never direct the spray jet at the machine itself or any electrical equipment.
5. After use release the pressure in the high pressure hose by operating the pistol
trigger.
6. Electric cables should not be left in a position where water can come into contact
with the electric cable. Always keep electrical connections dry and off the ground
7. When not in use always switch off the engine and disconnect from water supply.
8. Certain components become very hot when in use. Switch off the blaster and
ALLOW TO COOL before touching.
9. Do not attempt any mechanical repair. If you have a problem with your machine
contact your local dealer or Aussie Pumps service division, phone 02 8865 3500
10. Never supply any liquid other than clean water to the water inlet.
11. Never pull the high pressure hose if it has formed kinks or nooses. Never pull the
hose over sharp objects.
12. Use only chemical cleaning agents (detergents) approved for power washing when
using the chemical injection facility.
13. Never use the chemical injection facility to introduce solvents, e.g. paint thinners,
petrol, oil, etc.
14. Do not attempt to disconnect any hose or coupling with pressure still in the hose.
15. Do not operate the machine whilst standing on ladders, use a platform tower or
scaffolding.
16. Children should not be allowed to use the machine.
17. We recommend the use of safety goggles when using the machine, particularly with
the sand blasting attachment, or any application where loose particles of stone or grit,
etc, may be blown around by the high pressure spray.
18. The electrical power voltage must agree with the voltage specified on label on base of
machine. [Note: Improper connection will damage machine and void warranty.]
19. The machine must be grounded. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
20. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If plug does not fit your outlet
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
21. Do not use any type of double adaptor or multiple socket power board with this
product.
22. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
23. To avoid damage to cable do not roll, crush or pull it. The power cable may only be
repaired or replaced by an trained electrician.
24. Disconnect the plug from power supply and relieve pressure to hose before
