3. SAFETY

3.1 General safety instructions

The misuse of a high pressure water unit and the

non-observance of the pump installation and maintenance

instructions may cause serious damages and/or injuries

to people or properties or both.

Any Manufacturer/Operator requested to assemble/use

a high pressure water unit should be competent to do so,

should have the necessary knowledge on every high

pressure component installed in the unit and on the

precautions to be taken in order to guarantee the largest

safety margins during operation. No precaution, so far

as is reasonably practical, should be left out in the

interest of safety, both from the Manufacturer and the

Operator.

3.2 High pressure unit safety requirements

1. A safety valve should be installed in any delivery line

and should be sized to discharge or by-pass the

entire pump flow rate

2. High pressure unit components, with particular regard

for those units working outside, should be adequately

protected against rain, frost and heat.

3. Electric components and wiring should be provided

with an adequate degree of protection, able to protect

them against spray coming from any direction. They

should also be suitable for working in a wet

environment.

4. High pressure hoses and any other accessory under

pressure should be sized in accordance with the

maximum unit working pressure and must always

work within the safety margins indicated by the nose/

accessory Manufacturer.

5. High pressure hose ends should be fastened to a

steady object in order to prevent them from

dangerous sweeping around, should they burst or

come off their end fittings.

6. Proper safety guards should be provided to

adequately cover transmission joints, pulleys, belts or

auxiliary drives.
