Section 1 - Safety Information

Always be sure your work area is clear of people

whenever the ultra-high pressure pump is en-

gaged. When working on the waterblasting head

with an operator in the cab of the truck you should

always make sure you can see his hands.

Use Only Products Intended for High

Pressure waterblasting Use

Know the pressure ratings of all equipment be-

ing used and never exceed the service rating of

the weakest component. This system is designed

to work with pressures up to but not exceed-

ing 40,000 psi (2758 bar). Ultra-High Pressure

replacement parts must have a stated minimum

burst rating of 1.5 times the maximum operat-

ing pressure. All equipment pressure rating and

warning tags should be left intact.

40K pump system, refer to pump manufacturer’s

procedures for maintaining equipment in freez-

ing climates. If the unit is operated in freezing

temperatures or even temperatures below 60

degrees Fahrenheit, it is necessary to operate the

system with the high pressure pump engaged and

the engine set at IDLE speed only, until the oil

temperature rises above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

1.2 Blasting Safety

Safety First – ALWAYS!

Whenever the high pressure pump is engaged for

setting pressure or operations, always be sure

work area is clear of people, hands, feet, etc.

before engaging the high pressure (DUMP VALVE

40K) switch.
