OPERATION
CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
HOSE FEED LEVER• 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-2L-V2) Hose
Tractor. Speed is independently adjustable for Forward/Reverse. Minimum speed is .2ft/sec (6 cm/sec). Maximum speed is 3.0ft/sec (914
mm/sec).
POSITIONER CONTROLS• UP/DOWN will move the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor up and down the tube face bundle. Push forward to move the assembly
UP, release to STOP the motion, push down to move the assembly down.
•

LEFT/RIGHT will move the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor from side to side along the tube face bundle. Push left to move the
assembly to the LEFT, release the lever to STOP the motion, push RIGHT to move the assembly to the right.

MOMENTARY PNEUMATIC DUMP CONTROL• To use the DUMP CONTROL, hold it in the FORWARD 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-2L-V2) Hose Tractor.

TEST RUN PROCEDURE
•

Perform the PRE-RUN SAFETY CHECK (SEE PAGE 6).

•

Ensure appropriate Collet is installed and hose clamp pressure is set at 20-30psi (.14-.20 MPa)

•

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.

•

Adjust the hose feed speed controls. Proper forward and reverse speeds will vary, depending on the type of material being removed and the
tube size. Adjustment of the hose feed speed controls may be necessary during operation in order to optimize cleaning and overall productivity.

•

Operate the high-pressure water at full pressure and use the MOMENTARY PNEUMATIC DUMP CONTROL to verify that the dump valve is
working properly.

RUN PROCEDURE

•

After assembling and verifying, the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor system is ready for operation.

•

Once all hose connections have been secured and verified, it is recommended to flush the hoses and verify the dump valve is working properly
before installing the Banshee tools.

•

After flushing the hoses, install the Banshee tools and insert both tools into the back of the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor. It may be
necessary to twist the hoses slightly as the tools and hose ends are manually pushed through the Drive Rollers.

•

Once the Banshees are inside the Guide Tubes, install the Collet (anti-withdrawal protection). The appropriate Collet must be verified,
installed, secured, tested, and performance confirmed before operating at high pressure.

•

Adjust the clamp pressure to 20-30 psi. (.14-.20 MPa). Align the Guide Tubes with an open set of tubes in the heat exchanger bundle.

•

Feed forward and advance the hoses into the tube bundle at low pressure and wait for the tools to exit the far side of the heat exchanger.

•

Set the forward hose stops in the desired position to ensure the entire tube is cleaned, but that the hose crimp does not fully exit the tube.

•

Retract the hoses into the Guide Tubes.

•

Close the dump and gradually increase the pump to the desired operating pressure.

•

Feed forward and advance the hoses into the tube bundle. Dump and make any desired changes to forward and/or reverse operating speeds.

•

If the Drive Rollers are slipping excessively, increase the clamp pressure. It is recommended to operate the clamp pressure as low as possible
without excessive slippage. Optimal clamp pressure is achieved when the Drive Rollers slip ½ to 1 full rotation after hitting the hose stops (forward) or the Collet engages the hose crimp (reverse). It is recommended to use hose supplied with the secondary crimp so the (anti-withdrawal
protection) Collet does not impact the pressure containing crimp.

•

Operate the left/right and up/down positioner functions to begin high pressure cleaning at the preferred location on the tube bundle.

•

Always align the Guide Tubes as closely as possible with the heat exchanger tubes before advancing the hoses

•

When operating the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2), an obstacle or restriction within a heat exchanger tube may be encountered. When this occurs,
the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) is designed to slow and stall the air drive motor, stopping the advancement of the hose, lance, and Banshee tool.
The operator should stop forward feed and reverse the lance feed direction, backing the tool away from the obstruction. Repeat the back and
forth operation, until the resistance or obstruction is cleared via the cleaning action of Banshee tool at the end of the hose. The AUTOBOX®
(ABX-2L-V2) is not designed for Drive Roller slip. If slippage occurs, gradually increase the clamp force using the HOSE CLAMP PRESSURE
REGULATOR on the Control Box.
866-795-1586 • WWW.STONEAGETOOLS.COM

OPERATION
HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE
•

The AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor is designed to be used with Parker Pro-Lance® and/or Spir Star Blast-Pro® hose ends. Standard
hose ends may not fit into Hose Tractor and/or Guide Tubes. Note: MAXIMUM hose end diameter must NOT exceed .71 in. (18 mm)

•

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

•

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 through the Drive Rollers.

•

The AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor MUST be supervised at all times.

•

HOSE LENGTHS The ABX-2L-V2 has a variety of accessories that will require additional hose length to be considered in addition to the tube
bundle length. This should be verified prior to ordering high pressure hose for each job. The chart below shows the actual length of each configuration and recommended additional length necessary to keep the assembly from lifting off the ground during operation. Provide the tube
bundle length and use the chart to follow the calculation below to determine the total hose length.

(Tube Bundle Length, in./mm) + (Actual Length of Configuration, in./mm) + (Recommended Additional Connection Length, in./mm)

METRIC:
6096 mm + 836 mm + 991 mm = 7922 mm

NOTICE
Do not use a shrouded hose or hose with a steel protective cover. This will cause severe damage to the 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 Drive Rollers for easy hose installation. Insert the hose, equipped with the waterjet tool, between 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-2L-V2) Hose Tractor.
Test the Control Box before operating the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor with high-pressure water to verify the control valves move the
hose in the intended direction, and that the dump valve is working properly.

HOSE CLAMP
•

The Drive 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. Proper clamp force will provide good control of the hose in
forward and reverse directions, and will keep the hose running through the Drive Rollers.

WARNING
Do not fully release the hose clamp (decreasing pressure to zero) during operation, or the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor will release the
hose and may create a dangerous runaway hose condition, which can result in severe injury and/or death.
Crush Hazard. Keep hands, hair, and clothing clear of drive rollers and belts. Contact with moving parts can result in severe injury.

fully retracting.

Drive Rollers

After each use

The Drive Rollers are very durable and should last several hundred hours. However, it is
recommended to inspect all Drive Rollers for wear and/or cracks at the completion of each job.
Replacement is required when wear begins to affect the hose feed in forward or reverse, or when
it affects the hose alignment. It is recommended to replace all six Drive Rollers at the same time to
maintain optimal performance.

Belt

After each use

Check and adjust belt tension with the Rollers in the MAX open position. It may be necessary to
install a hose or other material to hold the rollers open. NOTE: Do not use any materials with sharp
edges, as they will damage the rollers. To inspect press down between the two idlers with 5 lbs of
force on the belt. The belt should deflect .25 in. ± .05 in. (6 mm ±1mm). If the belt deflects more than
.30 in. (8 mm) it should be tightened. (See Diagram below)

Most wear parts are made from 17-4 PH stainless steel and should have a very long life. However, as
wear occurs the rounded edges could become sharp and damage hoses. Any components showing
excessive wear should be replaced.

Clamp Sticking

Intermittent

Remove the top plate and remove any debris from between the inner plates. DO NOT USE highpressure water.

Contact StoneAge for Safety Data Sheets for material usage, a complete list of spare part numbers, and service instructions for the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2)
Hose Tractor and Control Box.
TO REPLACE THE BELT:
• Using a 9/16” Socket, loosen the hex
head bolt and slide the idler sprocket
to the right.
• Remove the worn belt.
• Install the new belt in the wrap
pattern shown in diagram.

SETTING TENSION:
Adjust belt tension with the Drive Rollers in the MAX open
position. It may be necessary to install a hose or other
material to hold the rollers open. To inspect press down
between the two idlers with 5 lbs of force on the belt.
The belt should deflect .25 in. ± .05 in. (6 mm ±1mm).
If the belt deflects more than .30 in. (8 mm) it should be
tightened. (See Diagram below)

STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION, AND HANDLING
The AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor is shipped in a custom wooden crate and should be stored upright in the same crate between jobs. When moving
the AUTOBOX® (ABX-2L-V2) Hose Tractor, lift with care to prevent bodily injury.
When storing the unit, use compressed air to blow out the air lines to remove debris and moisture. Use mild soapy water to clean the machine in order to
remove corrosive materials. Apply a small amount of air tool oil directly into the forward and reverse fittings. Then, briefly operate the controls at slow speed
for a short duration in each direction to coat the interior parts of the motor. Install the dust caps onto all three fittings to keep moisture and dirt out.

4. 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.
The proposed shipment date is an estimate. Seller will notify Buyer promptly
of any material delay and will specify the revised delivery date as soon as
practicable. 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).
All product(s) will be shipped F.O.B. point of origin, unless specifically agreed
otherwise, and Buyer shall pay all shipping costs and insurance costs from
that point. Seller, in its sole discretion, will determine and arrange the means
and manner of transportation of the product(s). Buyer shall bear all risk of loss
commencing with the shipment or distribution of the product(s) from Seller’s
warehouse. Order shortages or errors must be reported within fifteen (15)
business days from receipt of shipment to secure adjustment. No product(s)
may be returned without securing written approval from Seller.
5. Modification. These Terms and Conditions are intended by Seller and
Buyer to constitute a final, complete and exclusive expression of agreement
relating to the subject matter hereof and cannot be supplemented or amended
without Seller’s prior written approval.

6. Omission. Seller’s waiver of any breach or Seller’s failure to enforce any
of these 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 hereof.
7. Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the other portions hereof.
8. Disputes. Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve
any dispute arising under these Terms and Conditions by negotiations
between representatives who have authority to settle the controversy. If
unsuccessful, Seller and Buyer 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 Seller
and Buyer.
9. Governing Law. 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.
10. Jurisdiction and Venue. Seller and Buyer agree that the state or federal
courts located within the City and County of Denver, Colorado shall have
sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation concerning any dispute
arising under these Terms and Conditions not otherwise resolved pursuant
to Section 9 as well as any alleged defects of any Products or damages
sustained as a result of such alleged defects. Seller and Buyer further agree
that should any litigation be commenced in connection with such a dispute,
it shall only be commenced in such courts. Seller and Buyer agree to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and neither will raise any objection to the
jurisdiction and venue of such courts, including as a result of inconvenience.
11. Attorney’s Fees. 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 mediation.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Warranties set forth herein extend only to End-Users, meaning customers
acquiring, or that have previously acquired, a product manufactured by
StoneAge (“Product”) for their own use and not for resale, either directly from
StoneAge Inc. (“StoneAge”) or from a StoneAge Authorized Dealer or Reseller
(“Dealer”). No warranty of any kind or nature is made by StoneAge beyond
those expressly stated herein.
1. LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. Subject to the limitations and conditions
hereinafter set forth, StoneAge warrants its Product to be free from defects
in workmanship and material for a period of one (1) year from the date of
purchase by the End-User, provided that the end of the limited warranty
period shall not be later than eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment
of the Product to the Dealer or the End-User by StoneAge (“Limited Warranty
Period”). All replacement parts which are furnished under this Limited
Warranty and properly installed shall be warranted to the same extent as
the original Product under this Limited Warranty if, and only if, the original
parts were found to be defective within the original Limited Warranty Period
covering the original Product. Replacement parts are warranted for the
remainder of the original Limited Warranty Period. This Limited Warranty
does not cover any component part of any Product not manufactured by
StoneAge. Any such component part is subject exclusively to the component
manufacturer’s warranty terms and conditions.
2. LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE. StoneAge’s sole obligation under
this Limited Warranty shall be, at StoneAge’s option and upon StoneAge’s
inspection, to repair, replace or issue a credit for any Product which
is determined by StoneAge to be defective in material or workmanship.
StoneAge reserves the right to examine the alleged defective Product to
determine whether this Limited Warranty is applicable, and final determination
of limited warranty coverage lies solely with StoneAge. No statement or
recommendation made by a StoneAge representative, Dealer or agent to EndUser shall constitute a warranty by StoneAge or a waiver or modification to
any of the provisions hereof or create any liability for StoneAge.
3. WARRANTY SERVICE PROVIDERS. Service and repair of the Product
is to be performed only by StoneAge authorized service representatives,
including Dealers who are authorized repair centers, with StoneAge approved
parts. Information about StoneAge authorized service representatives can
be obtained through the StoneAge website at www.stoneagetools.com/
service. Unauthorized service, repair or modification of the Product or use of
parts not approved by StoneAge will void this Limited Warranty. StoneAge
reserves the right to change or improve the material and design of the Product
at any time without notice to End-User, and StoneAge is not obligated to make
the same improvements during warranty service to any Product previously
manufactured.
4. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS. This Limited Warranty does not cover, and
StoneAge shall not be responsible for the following, or damage caused by
the following: (1) any Product that has been altered or modified in any way
not approved by StoneAge in advance in writing; (2) any Product that has
been operated under more severe conditions or beyond the rated capacity
specified for that Product; (3) depreciation or damage caused by normal
wear and tear, failure to follow operation or installation instructions, misuse,
negligence or lack of proper protection during storage; (4) exposure to fire,
moisture, water intrusion, electrical stress, insects, explosions, extraordinary
weather and/or environmental conditions including, but not limited to lightning,
natural disasters, storms, windstorms, hail, earthquakes, acts of God or any
other force majeure event; (5) damage to any Product caused by any attempt
to repair, replace, or service the Product by persons other than StoneAge
authorized service representatives; (6) costs of normal maintenance parts
and services; (7) damage sustained during unloading, shipment or transit of
the Product; or (8) failure to perform the recommended periodic maintenance
procedures listed in the Operator’s Manual accompanying the Product.
5. REQUIRED WARRANTY PROCEDURES. To be eligible for warranty
service, the End-User must: (1) report the Product defect to the entity where
the Product was purchased (i.e. StoneAge or the Dealer) within the Limited
Warranty Period specified in this Limited Warranty; (2) submit the original
invoice to establish ownership and date of purchase; and (3) make the Product
available to a StoneAge authorized service representative for inspection to

determine eligibility for coverage under this Limited Warranty. This Limited
Warranty shall not extend to any person or entity who fails to provide proof of
original purchase from StoneAge or a Dealer. No Product may be returned for
credit or adjustment without prior written permission from StoneAge.
6. DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND OTHER REMEDIES.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN (AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW), STONEAGE HEREBY DISCLAIMS
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES,
REPRESENTATIONS OR PROMISES AS TO THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE
OR FREEDOM FROM DEFECT OF THE PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. STONEAGE FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED
INDEMNITIES.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. End-User specifically acknowledges that the
Product may be operated at high speeds and/or pressures, and that as such it
may be inherently dangerous if not used correctly. End-User shall familiarize
itself with all operation materials provided by StoneAge and shall at all times
use and require its agents, employees and contractors to use all necessary
and appropriate safety devices, guards and proper safe operating procedures.
In no event shall StoneAge be responsible for any injuries to persons or
property caused directly or indirectly by the operation of the Product if EndUser or any agent, employee, or contractor of End-User: (1) fails to use all
necessary and appropriate safety devices, guards and proper safe operating
procedures; (2) fails to maintain in good working order such safety devices
and guards; (3) alters or modifies the Product in any way not approved
by StoneAge in advance in writing; (4) allows the Product to be operated
under more severe conditions or beyond the rated capacity specified for the
Product; or (5) otherwise negligently operates the Product. End-User shall
indemnify and hold StoneAge harmless from any and all liability or obligation
incurred by or against StoneAge, including costs and attorneys’ fees, to or by
any person so injured.
TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STONEAGE
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, DIMINUTION OF
VALUE, WORK STOPPAGE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, RENTAL OF
SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSS EVEN TO THE
EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES WOULD CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES), WITH
RESPECT TO THE COVERED STONEAGE PRODUCT, OR OTHERWISE
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER STONEAGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT STONEAGE’S LIABILITY, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, IN TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE, OR
OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE
PRICE PAID BY THE END-USER FOR THE PRODUCT. STONEAGE’S
MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED, AND END-USER’S REMEDY IS
LIMITED TO EITHER (1) REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE
WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIAL OR, AT STONEAGE’S OPTION, (2) REFUND
OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, OR (3) ISSUANCE OF A CREDIT FOR THE
PURCHASE PRICE, AND SUCH REMEDIES SHALL BE END-USER’S ENTIRE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.
YOU, THE END-USER, UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY ARE PART OF THE
CONSIDERATION IN THE PRICE OF THE STONEAGE PRODUCT YOU
PURCHASED.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for
certain damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to
you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If any provisions
of this Limited Warranty is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
portions hereof.
