Safety Information
Check Pressure Rating
Only Use high pressure hoses with an operating
pressure rating of 36,000 - 40,000 PSI (2,482-
2,758 bar.)
Check Burst Rating
Do not use a high pressure hose that does not
have a listed burst rating of less than 60,000 PSI
(4,137 Bar.)
Retire Hose from Service if:
A) Cover is damaged and reinforcing wires are
exposed to rust and corrosion.
B) Cover is loose, has blisters or bulges.
C) Hose has been crushed or kinked.
D) End fitting shows evidence of damage, slippage
or leakage.
E) Hose has been exposed to pressures of 2 times
the operating pressure.
F) Hose has been stressed or stretched.
Check Dump Valve Water Hose
Any hose used for returning dumped water back
to the pump or vacuum line must have a large
enough diameter and PSI strength so that po-
tentially dangerous release pressure is allowed
full flow and release pressure is contained safely.
Keep hose in good condition.
1.5 High Pressure Fitting Safety
Fitting Ratings
Use high pressure fittings with a rating of 60,000
PSI (4,137 Bar.)
Check Fittings
Do not use fittings that have been cross threaded
or have damaged threads.
Fitting Connections
Use anti-seize compound on all hose and fitting
connections to prevent galling. Do NOT use anti-
seize on the seating area of any connections.
1.6 Dumping Safety
A) Completely drain the water from the waste
tank before dumping. Never attempt to dump
debris with water in the waste tank.
B) Always dump on level ground, never uneven
or sloped ground.
C) Always choose solid ground, not soft sand or
wet soil.
D) Never allow personnel under raised tank door
without safety supports in place.
E) Always be careful to avoid any pinch points
which could cause injury.
F) Always support the waste tank door with a
safety strut before installing a new debris
bag.
