4.2 General Maintenance
Proper maintenance is important for reliable and consistent performance.
Preventive maintenance reduces unscheduled downtime, and extends
component life.
High pressure water will cut almost anything it contacts.
Any leaks must be repaired immediately to prevent damage
or serious personal injury.
Maintenance Guidelines
•
Regular inspection of equipment is recommended.
•
Keep equipment and surrounding areas clean.
•
Check pressures, temperatures, and look for leaks.
