Benefits of preventive maintenance
Hypertherm recommends preventive and scheduled maintenance for Echion pumps. High-quality
equipment that is maintained on a schedule lasts longer than equipment that is not maintained
regularly. This maintenance includes adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, repairs, and replacement of
parts.
 Improves reliability
 Finds possible problems before they cause unplanned downtime and become expensive
repairs
 Extends the life of equipment and decreases the frequency of replacement
 Contributes positively to reputation and profits
 Gives traceability through records
Training
The employer must provide training for maintenance procedures. Retrain personnel when:
 there is a change in job assignment, machinery, or procedures that can present a new
danger.
 energy-control procedures change.
 there is reason to believe there is a deficiency in a person’s knowledge of the energy-control
procedure.
