malfunctions of a high pressure system.
Before starting the system it is advisable to check the following:
• Level of the system's liquids (pump and motor oil, coolant)
• Cleanliness of the pump's suction filters
• That it is fed correctly
• The good condition of pipes and connections – there must be no signs of wear
• That the electrical parts are in good condition and protected to standards
• That all the protections envisaged are active.
Except for pressure regulation, no other work must be done while the system is operating (e.g.
checking that the fittings are watertight, checking the high pressure pipes, etc.)
Any malfunction found before or during work must be reported immediately and verified by
competent personnel.
Pressure must be zeroed and the pump switched off before any such operations are carried out.
BEHAVIOURAL NORMS FOR USING THE JET PIPES
The operator should behave according to good sense and responsibility, placing his safety, and that of
others, before everything else.
The operator must have personal protective gear, such as a hard hat with protective eyeshade, rubber
boots and waterproof clothes.
Appropriate clothes will protect effectively against sprays of water but not against the direct impact of
a jet of water which is why we recommend following these few simple rules:
• Organise yourselves in teams of two to provide reciprocal and immediate assistance in the case of
need and so you can take it in turns when work is long and arduous.
• No objects must be left in the working area that come within the range of the high pressure jet
because dangerous situations could be created if such objects are accidentally hit by it.
• Always aim the jet of water in the direction of the working area, also during tests and checks.
• The operator must pay attention to the trajectory of removed waste and set up adequate barriers to
protect whoever or whatever may be exposed to such a jet.
• When the operator is working he must not be disturbed for any reason. Whoever has to enter the
working area and who has authorisation to do so, must wait until the operator finishes what he is
doing and only then may he make his presence known.
• The high pressure system must not be started or pressurised unless all the workers have been
notified.
MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
The high pressure system must be serviced by qualified personnel, following the procedures and at
the times indicated by the Manufacturer.
Use suitable and specific tools to assemble and remove the various components.
Use always and only original spare parts to guarantee total reliability and safety.
