Lubrication & General Maintenance

4.1 Lubrication & General

Maintenance Introduction

Lubrication Points

You should become familiar with the location of all

components that require frequent lubrication and

include them in the general maintenance schedule.

Some of these lubrication points require special-

ized lubricants. The lubrication points shown in

the photos and listed in the Lubrication Charts

on the following pages in this section provide a

guide to the location of the lubrication points on

your machine.

NOTICE:
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SHOW ALL VALVES, HINGES,
LATCHES AND SAFETY PINS ON THE LUBRICATION CHARTS.
RELATED ITEMS NOT SHOWN SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED
IN YOUR MAINTENANCE ROUTINE.

Refer to the Maintenance Matrix chart in the

Scheduled Maintenance section in this manual

and component manufacturer’s operating and/or

maintenance manuals for lubricant specifications

and maintenance schedules.

Some lubrication points require grease daily or

weekly. In extremely wet or dirty conditions the

requirements could increase. The lubrication fre-

quency outlined in this section should be consid-

ered the minimum requirement.

Before operating or performing any maintenance

on the vehicle make sure the machine is properly

shutdown and secured in the service position.

General Maintenance

Some components of the ultra high pressure water

and vacuum systems require daily maintenance

or may require maintenance during a typical wa-

terblasting shift. This maintenance is considered

routine general maintenance and a component of

the waterblasting process. The service procedures

for these items are described in this section of the

manual. The frequency for maintaining general

maintenance items will vary, depending on the

quality of the clean water supply, the overall condi-

tion of the waterblasting systems and proficiency

of the operators.

CAUTION

THE GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES OUTLINED
IN THIS SECTION MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY TO
AVOID DAMAGING COMPONENTS AND/OR VOIDING THE
WARRANTY.

Scheduled Maintenance

Components that are typically serviced periodi-

cally or at specific hours of operation are consid

ered scheduled maintenance items. The service

procedures for those items are described in the

Scheduled Maintenance section.

Service Position

Properly shutting down and securing the machine

for service is critical to the safety of the operator

and/or service personnel.

Use the following procedure to place the

machine in the service position:

1. Make sure all components lifted hydraulically

are in the full down position or properly sup-

ported to remove the load from the cylinders

and hinges.

2. Shift the truck to Drive Mode before shutdown

to prevent accidental activation of waterblast-

ing systems.

3.  Park vehicle on a level area and block wheels.
4.  Apply parking brake.
5.  Shutdown the engine and disable the truck

electrical system at the main circuit breaker.

6. Follow all Lockout/tagout and additional shut-

down procedures established in your company

safety guidelines to complete the service

position.
