3. SAFETY
3.1 General Safety Indications
The misuse of pumps and high pressure units, and the non-observance of installation and maintenance instructions 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 assembled/used, and must adopt all the necessary precautions in order 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
1. The pressure line must always be equipped with a 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 specific norms
in force.
4. High pressure hoses must be correctly sized for the unit’s maximum operating pressure, and must only be used
within the pressure range indicated by the hose manufacturer. The same conditions apply to all other unit accessories
where high pressure is involved.
5. The extremities of high pressure hoses must be sheathed and fastened to a steady structure in order 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).
