After running the charge pump for 15 minutes, measure the water temperature of the white
water tank. It must always be maintained below 70
°
F (21.1
°
C). The colder the better!
WARNING!
If your inlet water is above 60
°
F (15.6
°
C), you may experience a shorter life from your pump
seals. If the temperature is above 70
°
F (21.1
°
C), a chiller will be required. It is important to
understand if the metal in the pump cylinders ever exceeds 80
°
F (26.7
°
C), the first 5
minutes of running could destroy a possible 100 hours of seal life. Continue doing this for 5
days in a row, and the pump will need a rebuild.
8.
Power up the JetMachining Center by switching the PC Controller’s power ON. Verify that the
Windows operating system boots up without issues.
9.
When applicable, also power ON any attached OMAX accessories (solids removal system, bulk
feed hopper, chiller, etc.).
10. Verify the nozzle being used matches the size required for the part being cut. Change it to the
correct size when required.
Caution:
Changing the nozzle orifice size also requires adjustment of the dump orifice in the high-
pressure water line of the OMAX pump. Correctly matching the orifice size in the nozzle with
that in the pump minimizes water pressure difference in the high-pressure plumbing during
nozzle Off and On conditions, thus reducing pressure spikes and premature plumbing failures.
For pumps with the Adjustable Dump Orifice (ADO) (Figure 4-73) see page 4-35 for adjustment
procedures. For pumps with interchangeable Dump Valve orifices (Figure 4-73), see page 4-39
for orifice replacement procedures.
11. Ensure that your mixing tube has been installed properly using the nozzle/mixing tube gauge as
illustrated below in Figure 3-9:
