3. Pump model and version
4. Max RPM
5. Power absorbed
6. Max flow rate (l/min) and pressure (bar)

3.4 General Procedures for High Pressure Gun/Lance Operation
1. The Operator should take reasonable care for the safety of them self and of other persons who may be affected by
their acts or omission at work. His actions should always be governed by his good sense and responsibility.
2. The Operator should wear suitable waterproof protective clothing, having regard to the type of work being
undertaken. The clothing set should include adequate hand protection, suitable boots able to ensure proper grip on
wet floors, helmet provided with full face shield, waterproof garment providing full cover to the Operator, including
their arms.
NOTE:
it must be emphasized that whereas protective clothing provides adequate protection against spray and flying
particles, it does not constitute complete protection protection against the direct impact of the water jet. Additional
protections in the form of suitable metal shields or barriers may be necessary for certain jetting operation.
3. In most jetting operations it is an accepted practice to employ a team of operators consisting of at least 2 members
capable of giving mutual and immediate assistance in case of emergency and for taking turns during long and
demanding operations.
4. The area in which the work is to proceed should be clear of loose items and debris to prevent tripping and slipping
hazards.
5. The water jet should be directed only and always against the workpiece even during preliminary operating tests
prior to starting work.
6. Where applicable, proper side shields should be suitable placed to safeguard personnel and equipment against
contact with grit or particles removed by the water jet.
7. On no account must the Operator be distracted during operation until the jet has been stopped.
Personnel having reason to enter the water jetting area should wait until the jet is stopped and his presence known.
8. Each team member must always be aware of the actions and intentions of other team members in order to prevent
any dangerous misunderstanding occurring during jetting operation.
9. The pump unit should not be started and brought up to pressure unless each team member is in his designated
position, the nozzle directed to the workpiece and the lance or gun securely held.
3.5 Safety During System Maintenance
1. The high pressure water unit should be maintained in accordance with the Manufacturer’s instructions.
2. The unit should be maintained only by authorized personnel
3. Service and maintenance should be carried out with proper tools in order to prevent any damage on high pressure
connections and fittings.
4. Use of other than original spare parts is strictly forbidden.
