4.13 water System pumps
All pumps in the water system are powered by
hydraulic motors. The pump that supplies pres-
surized water to the cutter nozzles also sup-
plies charge water to the high pressure pump.
It requires little maintenance other than routine
inspections.
The high pressure pump for the pressure washer
is permanently lubricated and also requires little
maintenance. Water is supplied by the clean water
tank and a fine mesh strainer protects the pump
from debris.
Inspection And Maintenance
Daily:
• Inspect the pumps, hoses and fittings for
leaks and signs of wear or deterioration. Any
questionable or leaking component should
be repaired or replaced before operating the
system.
•
Run the pumps and listen for unusual noises
and proper operation. Find and correct the
cause of unusual noises or erratic operation.
•
Inspect high pressure hose for kinks, damage
or deterioration. Replace if necessary.
Monthly:
• Thoroughly flush clean water tank to remove
accumulated debris.
•
Open and close valves at least once each
month to keep them free and operating prop-
erly.
•
Lubricate and inspect valve shafts and handles.
Replace if badly corroded.
•
Remove and clean the water strainer located at
the intake side of the pressure washer pump.
Cleaning Water Strainer
•
To clean the strainer, make sure the water
system is shutdown with the truck in the ser-
vice position. Rotate the strainer bowl coun-
terclockwise to release it.
•
Remove and clean the screen with fresh water.
• Lubricate the O-ring lightly with Teflon or
silicon grease and reinstall the screen and
strainer bowl.
