High pressure water will cut almost anything it contacts.
Any leaks must be repaired immediately to prevent damage
or serious personal injury.
Maintenance Guidelines
• Regular inspection of equipment is recommended.
• Keep equipment and surrounding areas clean.
• Check pressures, temperatures, and look for leaks.
• Make repairs immediately.
• A maintenance record should be kept.
Work Area
• Maintain a clean work area for repair and maintenance of the waterjet
pump.
• Use a clean work bench in a dust and dirt free work area.
• Use lint-free material for wipe cloths.
• When blowing off parts with compressed air, use only clean, dry air. When
flushing parts with a solvent, use only clean, filtered fluid.
• Always use original KMT Waterjet replacement parts, for consistent
performance, reliability, safety, and to protect equipment warranty.
Safety Recommendations
• Carefully read the Safety Guidelines in Section 1, of this manual.
• Lock out all electrical power.
• Close all incoming supply valves and open all drain valves.
• Close the nozzle valves and manifold valves. When the power is shut off, the
safety dump valve will open and bleed off high pressure water stored in the
discharge piping.
• Provide suitable receptacles, pans, trays, etc. to catch and retain fluids to
avoid a hazardous work area.
• DOUBLE CHECK to insure that all pressure is relieved from the system
before proceeding.
