manual.  It  is  intended  to  reinforce  and  review  safety  techniques  to  prevent  personal 
injuries and property damage. 

 

Users  must  comply  with  all  local,  state,  and  national  laws  concerning  high-pressure 
water jetting equipment as well as all underwater work regulations. 
 
It  is  strongly  recommended  that  this  entire  manual  be  reviewed  in-depth  before 
operating  or  servicing  this  equipment.  Service  work  should  only  be  performed  by
