3. SAFETY
3.1 General Safety Indications
The misuse of pumps and high pressure units may cause
severe injury to people and/or damage to property. Anyone
requested to assemble or use high pressure units must
possess the necessary competence to do so, should be
aware of the characteristics of the components assem-
bled/used, and must adopt all the necessary precautions
in orter to guarantee maximum safety in any operating
condition. In the interest of safety, no precaution that is
reasonably feasible must be neglected, both by the
Manufacturer and the Operator.
3.2 High pressure unit safety requirements

safety valve.
2. High pressure unit components, in particular
for those units working outside, must be adequately
protected against rain, frost and heat.
3. The units electrical parts must be adequately
protected from water spray, and must comply with the

4. High pressure hoses must be correctly sized for the
units maximum operating pressure, and must only be

to avoid dangerous whiplashes should they burst or
should their connections break.
6. Appropriate safety guards must be provided for the
pump transmission systems (joints, pulleys and belts,
auxiliary drives).
3.3 Safety During Operation

previously trained, and informed about the risks that may
arise from failures or malfunctions of the high pressure
unit.
Before starting the unit, the operator must check:
1. That the high pressure unit is correctly fed (see
