3. SAFETY
3.1 General Safety Warnings
Improper use of pumps and high pressure systems, and/or failure to observe the installation and maintenance instructions,
can cause serious injury to persons and/or damage to property. Anyone preparing to assemble or use high pressure sys-
tems must have the necessary to do so, must be aware of the characteristics of the components to be assembled/used,
and must adopt all possible precautions necessary to ensure maximum levels of safety in any operating condition. No rea-
sonably applicable precaution must be omitted in the interests of safety, either by the installer or the operator.
3.2 High Pressure Unit Safety Requirements
1. The pressure line must always have a safety valve.
2. The components of the high pressure system, particularly for systems that operate predominantly
outdoors, must be adequately protected from rain, cold and heat.
3. The electrical parts of the system, as well as being adequately protected from water sprays, must meet
the standards specified in the regulations currently in force.
4. High pressure hoses must be correctly sized for the maximum working pressure of the system, and must
always and only be used within the range of working pressure indicated by the Manufacturer of the hose.
These precautions must be observed for all other accessories of the system which are connected in any
way with high pressure.
5. The ends of high pressure hoses must be sheathed and anchored to a solid structure, to prevent
dangerous whiplashes in the event of bursting or breakage of the connections.
6. Suitable protective casings must be installed at the pump transmission systems (junctions, belts and
pulleys, auxiliary power take-offs).
