®

(ABX-500-V2) in oily or slippery applications, this value will be reduced significantly based on hose size, hose cover type, lubricating properties of the product, etc. Conversely, a large, dry hose can experience retarding forces in excess of 90 kg (200 lb).

2 The AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) can also be used to feed rigid pipe or lance with an OD range of 0.56-1.75 in. (14-45 mm)

The pipe or lance MUST be securely supported on both ends.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT AND

INTENDED USE

The AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) is a safe and reliable hose handling option for cleaning pipes with rotary jetting tools.

Traditional methods require the operator to hand feed a hose while cleaning pipes, which can cause streaking, fatigue and increased safety risk.

The AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) is a portable, air powered device. The operator places the hose into the side of the machine then feeds the hose using the control panel of the control box. The feed rate can be adjusted to meet the demands of each pipe cleaning job. The unit accommodates hose couplings for continuous operation.

IDEAL FOR:

Hands-free pipe cleaning operations where safety is a priority

Consistent cleaning of pipes where space is limited

TOOL BENEFITS:

Safely operated from outside the water blast zone

Requires a single operator to run

Reduces hose wear

Smaller, lighter, and more portable than a rotary hose device

Passes couplings for continuous operation

OPERATION

POSITIONING THE AUTOBOX™ (ABX-500-V2)

The AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) hose control device has been engineered to run in the upright orientation show to the right.

The internal gearbox pressure relief vent is designed to open only when gearbox case pressure exceeds 7.5 psi (0.05 MPa).

This allows the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) to be used in any orientation for short periods of time. When using the device in any orientation other than the standard orientation, the gearbox pressure relief vent may leak small amounts of oil. The gearbox oil level should be monitored closely in these applications.

(ABX-500-V2)

Use the anchoring holes to securely anchor the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) to the floor, structural beams, heavy duty scaffolding, or similar components. The anchoring method MUST be capable of withstanding a minimum of 500 lbs of reaction force from the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2). Both side plates have large 1.25 in. x 5 in. (32 mm x 127 mm) slots at the top and bottom for direct anchoring. There are two 0.50 in. (13 mm) holes at the top and bottom to mount Telespar predrilled square tubing, or other structural shapes to facilitate anchoring. Additional anchoring options are available through StoneAge. Operate the high-pressure hose and waterjet tool at full pressure to test the anchoring method.

It is important to securely anchor at least one hole from two different sides, in order to prevent the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) from rotating or shifting during operation.

Recheck the anchors frequently during operation to ensure the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) is secure.

WARNING

Waterjets can cause severe injury and/or death. A back-out preventer MUST be used at all times and MUST be securely attached to the pipe.

OPERATION

CONTROL PANEL

The

HOSE FEED LEVER will move the hose in the forward (feeding) and reverse (retracting) directions. The

OFF

position is at the spring centered middle position and will stop the Drive Rollers from turning. The speed controls are located on the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-

500-V2). Speed is independently adjustable for Forward/Reverse.

Minimum speed is .2ft/sec (61 mm/sec). Maximum speed is 3.0ft/ sec (914 mm/sec).

To use the

MOMENTARY PNEUMATIC DUMP CONTROL

, hold it in the

HIGH PRESSURE ON

position to route the high-pressure water to the tool. Release the knob to divert the high-pressure water away from the tool.

To de-energize the system, release the

HOSE FEED LEVER and release the

MOMENTARY PNEUMATIC DUMP CONTROL.

This will stop the Drive Rollers from moving and reroute the high-pressure water away from the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2).

HOSE CLAMP

The clamp rollers are controlled by turning the

HOSE CLAMP

PRESSURE REGULATOR

. Use the

HOSE CLAMP PRESSURE GAUGE

to record desired pressure for future use. Clamp force will not damage hoses or couplings. Proper clamp force will provide good control of the hose in forward and reverse directions, and keep the hose running in the groove of the drive rollers.

WARNING

Do not fully release the hose clamp (decreasing pressure to zero) during operation, or the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2)

Hose Control Device will release the hose and may create a dangerous runaway hose condition, which can result in severe injury and/or death.

OPERATION

HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE

Only high quality hoses intended for waterblast applications should be used as high-pressure hoses. The pressure rating of high-pressure hoses MUST never be exceeded.

NOTICE

Do not use a shrouded hose or hose with a steel protective cover. This will cause severe damage to the clamp rollers and drive rollers.

Open the door to install the high-pressure hose. The

HOSE

CLAMP PRESSURE REGULATOR on the Control Box

MUST be turned to zero pressure to open the clamp rollers for easy hose installation. Insert the hose, equipped with the waterjet tool, between the clamp rollers and the drive rollers.

Increase the pressure on the

HOSE CLAMP PRESSURE

REGULATOR to extend the clamp rollers and clamp the hose.

Close and lock the door before operating the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2).

Test the Control Box before operating the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) with high-pressure water to verify the control valves move the hose in the intended direction, and that the dump valve is working properly.

Verify that the high-pressure hose is properly installed

in the back-out preventer. Operate the high-pressure hose and waterjet tool at full pressure to test the clamp force. Proper clamp force will provide good control of the hose in forward and reverse directions, and keep the hose running in the groove of the drive rollers.

The AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) Hose Control Device MUST

be supervised at all times. This device is not intended to push the hose and waterjet tool. Once the waterjet tool has pulled the hose to its capacity, slack will form in the hose between the device and the back-out preventer.

WARNING

Crush Hazard. Keep hands, hair, and clothing clear of drive rollers and clamp rollers. Contact with moving parts can result in severe injury.

OPERATION

HOSE COUPLINGS AND HOSE WHIPS

Hose couplings and hose whips can be passed through the

AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2) while the high-pressure water and waterjet tool remain in operation.

In the instance that couplings (or couplings with hose whips) become difficult to pass, use the

MOMENTARY PNEUMATIC DUMP

CONTROL TOGGLE

to dump the high-pressure water and use the

HOSE FEED SPEED CONTROLS

only to pass the coupling.

For couplings equipped with hose whips:

1. As the coupling approaches the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2), reduce the forward/reverse speed by adjusting the

HOSE FEED

SPEED CONTROLS

. The speed should be reduced so the

hose

whip stops once it contacts the first roller.

2. Record the current hose clamp pressure displayed on the

HOSE CLAMP PRESSURE GAUGE

, for reference.

3. Open the door of the AUTOBOX

®

(ABX-500-V2).

WARNING

Crush Hazard. Keep hands, hair, and clothing clear of drive rollers and clamp rollers. Contact with moving parts can result in severe injury.

4. Slowly reduce the hose clamp pressure until the hose whip begins to advance through the clamp rollers. Watch as the hose whips and coupling pass through the drive rollers and clamp rollers. Make sure the hose whips do not become caught in the device or in the back-out preventer.

The amount of pressure reduction will depend on the size and material of the hose and coupling, as well as the pressure and flow of the high-pressure tool being used.

WARNING

Do not fully release the hose clamp (decreasing pressure to zero) during operation, or the AUTOBOX ® (ABX-500-V2) Hose

Control Device will release the hose and create a dangerous runaway hose condition, which can result in severe injury and/ or death.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

d. if Buyer exceeds at any time the maximum safe loads, pressures or speeds recommended by Seller for the equipment furnished hereunder without the specific written consent of Seller; or e. if Buyer otherwise fails to operate the product or equipment in accordance with Seller’s printed instructions or otherwise negligently operates the equipment.

5. Delivery. Seller is not obligated to make delivery by a specified date, but will always use its best efforts to make delivery within the time requested. All deliveries are based on F.O.B. Seller’s factory, unless specifically agreed otherwise, and Buyer shall pay all shipping costs and insurance from that point. Seller, in its sole discretion, will determine and arrange the means and manner of transportation of the products. Responsibility of Seller shall cease and Buyer assumes all risk of loss or damages upon Seller’s delivery to and receipt by a common carrier. Carriers shall be responsible for goods lost or damaged in transit and Buyer shall immediately notify the carrier in writing of such loss or damage. At Buyer’s request Seller will offer its assistance.

THE PROPOSED SHIPMENT DATE IS AN ESTIMATE. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER

FOR LOSS OF USE OR FOR ANY DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM DELAY REGARDLESS OF THE

REASON(S). Shortages or errors must be reported within fifteen (15) business days from receipt of shipment to secure adjustment. No merchandise may be returned without securing written approval from

Seller. Seller will notify Buyer promptly of any material delay and will specify the revised delivery date as soon as practicable. Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery or performance, or for any failure to manufacture, deliver or perform due to (a) any cause beyond its reasonable control; (b) any act of God, act of Buyer, act of civil or military authority, governmental priority, strike or other labor disturbance, flood, epidemic, war, riot, delay in transportation or car shortage; or (c) inability on account of any cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller to obtain necessary materials, components, services or facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery or of performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.

6. Technical Advice. All technical advice, recommendations and services of Seller are intended for use by persons having adequate skill, at their own risk, and Seller assumes no responsibility, and Buyer hereby waives all claims against Seller, for results obtained or damages incurred from the use of Seller’s advice, recommendations and services.

7. Modification. These Terms and Conditions are intended by Seller and Buyer to constitute a final, complete and exclusive expression of agreement and cannot be supplemented or amended without Seller’s prior written approval. Seller’s waiver of any breach, or failure to enforce any of the Terms and Conditions at any time, shall not in any way affect, limit or waive Seller’s right thereafter to enforce and compel strict compliance with every Term and Condition thereof. If any provisions of these Terms and Conditions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other portions hereof.

8. Disputes. Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith promptly to resolve any dispute arising under these Terms and Conditions by negotiations between representatives who have authority to settle the controversy. If unsuccessful, Buyer and Seller shall further attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by nonbinding third-party mediation, with fees and expenses of such mediation apportioned equally to each side.

Any dispute not so resolved by negotiation or mediation may then be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms hereof. These procedures are the exclusive procedures for the resolution of all such disputes between the parties. All sales, agreements for sale, offers to sell, proposals, acknowledgments and contracts of sale, including, but not limited to, purchase orders accepted by Seller, shall be considered a contract under the laws of the State of Colorado and the rights and duties of all persons, and the construction and effect of all provisions hereof shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of such state. A state or federal court located within the State of Colorado shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation concerning any such matters as well as any alleged defects of any products or equipment covered thereby or damages sustained as a result of such alleged defects. If any litigation is commenced between Seller and Buyer, or their personal representatives, concerning any provision hereof, the party prevailing in the litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief that is granted, to a reasonable sum as and for their attorneys’ fees and costs in such litigation or arbitration.
