CHAPTER 4 - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

4-1 INTRODUCTION

The HydroBlast System must be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the 

inspection, testing and maintenance schedule mandated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Follow the required inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures for the associated plant/

remote control unit as directed by the manufacturer and by the standards and codes that 

apply to those systems.

4-2   PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The complete monitor and control system should be inspected during each scheduled 

inspection. Careful inspection for damage to the monitor and nozzle is especially important 

after use of the HydroBlast system in wash operations.

•  Operate all possible functions to ensure that each works normally
•  Flow water to check the nozzle pattern

•  If the pattern is disrupted, clear the debris
•  If the obstruction still remains, remove the nozzle and check for debris lodged between the 

nozzle stem and body

•  During nozzle flow test, inspect monitor swivel joints for leaks
•  Inspect all exposed wiring for signs of damage
•  If protective cage is used, use the appropriate tool to clean the cage of dust build up

Note:

 Although grease fittings are provided for the up-down and left-right gear cases, routine 

greasing should not be necessary. If the monitor is exposed to high level of radiant heat for 

a prolonged period, it may be possible for the factory grease to thin and run out of the gear 

cases. In such an event, fresh grease should be applied. It is recommended that Mobilith AW2 

grease be used to lubricate the monitor gearing.

!

 

Caution:

 DO NOT use high pressure spray to clean the HydroBlast System.  

Using high pressure spray can damage seals and lead to serious damage of  

electrical components.

4-3  UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM LEDs

4-3.1  MONITOR ONBOARD CONTROLLER LEDs

•  When the monitor is first powered up all LEDs turn on for approximately 1 second, then only the 

Power LED remains illuminated

•  When the monitor control box receives a right or left command, the horizontal LED illuminates.
•  When the monitor control box receives an up or down command, the vertical LED illuminates.
