Inspection & maintenance schedule
Flow equipment has been designed for long service life.
However, maximizing the life, safety, and efficiency of
the equipment is dependent on daily inspections and
regular maintenance. Periodic maintenance can take the
form of regularly scheduled preventive maintenance,
such as the items listed below. It also includes replacing
worn parts that have reached the end of their service
life.
Every day
Before startup
•
Inspect pump, high-pressure tubing, connections,
and valves for leakage. Correct any problems before
starting the pump.
•
Check the oil level in the pump.
•
Check the main electrical disconnect for “Out of
Service” tags and check all around the equipment
for indications of maintenance work in process.
After startup
• Listen for unusual sounds as the pump starts and
water pressure increases. Look for leaks.
End of shift
•
Clean machine work area.
