Regular inspection and maintenance of your system is the best defense against equipment
failure and costly downtime. Additionally, the high-pressure wash systems can create safety hazards.
Simple checks, performed by the operator of the equipment or maintenance personnel on a regular
basis, will help to ensure safe operation and that the system's maximum performance and life cycle is
achieved. The guidelines below pertain to the basic system and components only.
Further consideration should be given to optional accessories when included.
DAILY MAINTENANCE SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
•
Check that all water supply and high pressure discharge hoses as well as all power cords do not
create an obstruction that may cause anyone to trip or fall.
•
Check that all controls, switches, and disconnects are readily accessible and can be reached quickly
in case of emergency.
•
Check inlet water supply valves and hoses for signs of leakage and correct where needed.
•
Check inlet water supply hose for kinks or other forms of restriction that can interrupt
proper flow into the system.
•
Check that all electrical cords and wires are properly secured/connected and do not pose a potential
hazard for electrocution. All electrical supply and motor connections must include a ground wire.
•
Check that the area around the unit is clear and dry.
•
Check that all moving parts such as belts, pulleys, motor fans, etc., are clear of debris that could
become entangled or otherwise come in contact with them.
•
Check the pump oil site glass or dipstick for the correct oil level and signs of contaminants
(water or metallic particles).
•
Untangle the high presser hose if needed.
•
Check the hose for nicks, cuts, and abrasions that can lead to leaks.
•
Check that the nozzle is clear of debris and operates correctly.
•
Check for adequate water to the unit.
•
Check that the chemical tank is full.
•
Check that the chemical tube is clear and in the tank.
