Bareshaft Pump

Purge the System
Before attaching a nozzle to the control gun or tube
cleaning lance, operate the pump at low speed to
purge dirt and debris from the system. Dirt and
debris can clog nozzle orifice(s) and cause exces
-
sive system pressures.
Test the System
With the nozzle installed, operate the pump at low
speed (low pressure) to test the system. Should
system repairs or adjustments be necessary, stop
the pump and relieve all pressure before performing
any required repairs or adjustments.
Slowly Increase Pressure
Visually inspect all fittings for leaks at 1000 psi (69
bar), and then again once the system reaches full
pressure. Do not use your hand to find leaks. If leaks
are evident, turn the system off and relieve the pres-
sure. Remove the leaking fitting, clean and inspect.
If the fitting looks undamaged, re-install the fitting.
If the leak persists, the fitting must be replaced.
Leaking fittings can cause fitting damage and very
dangerous injection wounds.
With the system operating properly, slowly increase
pump speed until operating pressure is reached.
Use the Minimum Pressure Required
Do not exceed the operating pressure of the sys-
tem’s lowest pressure-rated component. Use of low-
er pressure-rated components in a system should
be avoided if possible. Components with a lower
pressure rating can be overlooked and explode if
vigilance is not maintained. Keep equipment pres-
sure rating and warning tags intact.
Be Prepared
If equipment malfunctions or a malfunction is suspect-
ed, immediately stop the cleaning activity and relieve
the pressure in the system before attempting any re-
pair. Always follow manufacturer’s repair instructions.
Performing Maintenance or Repairs
Because of the hazards involved with water blasting,
maintenance or repairs may only be performed by
service personnel that are properly trained to main-
tain this equipment. Training is available through
Jetstream
®
and can be requested from the Jetstream
website (
www.waterblast.com
) or FS Solutions rental
centers.
Following repairs or maintenance, operate the sys-
tem at low pressure to test the system. Adjust the
pressure slowly during operation.
Freezing Conditions
After shutting down in freezing conditions, even for
brief periods, drain the water from all components.
Prior to starting the equipment after a freeze, the
operation of all equipment components must be
checked carefully to ensure they are not frozen, or
cracked, and are still in safe operating condition.
Refer to”Winterizing the Pump” on page 19” for
details.
Store Components Properly
Properly store components to protect from damage
when not in use. Ensure all warning tags and mark-
ers remain intact for the next usage.
