GENERAL WATERBLAST 1. Use only clear, clean water in high pressure system. 2. Place barricades with warning signs or barricade tape around work area. 3. Outfit all operators with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Hard hat with plastic face shield, rainsuit, non-skid knee boots with metatarsal protection, gloves, ear protection and body armor rated for operating pressures are considered minimum safety equipment.
Page 5
11. Properly tighten all high pressure connections. All NPT connections must have a minimum engagement of four (4) threads. Pipe (NPT) connections should be made up hand tight plus two (2) full wrenched turns. Do not tighten NPT threads past two (2) wrenched turns. Use wrench flats (when available) or a properly adjusted smooth jaw plier wrench (JS PN 64119) for tightening components.

18. If equipment malfunctions or a system malfunction is suspected, immediately stop cleaning activity and relieve the pressure in the system before attempting any repairs. Always follow the manufacturer’s repair instructions. 19. Only trained persons should be authorized to perform any maintenance or repair.

6. Do not attempt to correct a leaking relief valve by increasing spring tension as this will increase its set pressure. 7. Do not use a pressure relief valve as a combination relief and throttling device. 8. Keep relief valve dry during freezing conditions. NOTE: Pressure relief devices are imperative for the protection of both operator and equipment from dangerous over-pressurization.
