General Maintenance
• Check hydraulic connections for leaks – tighten
if necessary.
• Test and inspect the nozzles and spray bars for
proper operation and leaks daily. Correct any
problems or questionable components before
waterblasting.
• Test the dump valve for proper operation daily.
Never operate the system if the dump valve is
not working properly.
Hog Arm
• Check all bolts and nuts. Tighten if necessary.
•
Check hydraulic and high pressure hoses for
deterioration and wear daily. Replace hoses
and fittings as necessary.
Refer to the Lubrication Chart and System Mainte -
nance Matrix in this section for lubrication speci-
fications and maintenance schedules.
6.6 High Pressure Blasting System
40K Ultra High Pressure Pump
The 40K pump operates at very high pressures
and has specific lubrication and maintenance re -
quirements. Refer to the Lubrication Chart and
System Maintenance Matrix in this section and the
pump manufacturer’s operating and maintenance
manual for lubrication specifications and mainte -
nance schedules.
UHP System Inspection and Maintenance
Daily:
• Check for obvious loose mounting nuts and bolts.
• Check all hoses, fittings, valves and seals for
leaks and proper operation daily. Repair or
replace leaking or malfunctioning components
before operating the system.
• There are filters in the water system imme -
diately before the high pressure pump to re-
move any particulates from the water prior to
entering the UHP pump. These filters should
be changed when dirty or when the charge
pump pressure is 30 PSI or less. The filters
are typically replaced daily.
• Make sure cooling water is flowing to the
plunger packing seals when the charge water
is activated. Constant water flow is essential
to lubricate and cool the seals.
• Make sure the cooling water sump and drain
are clean for proper drainage.
