SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE TECHNICIANS
Before any repair work is started make sure the power supply to the machine is disconnected from/in the wall socket.
Repair work must be carried out by instructed technicians in electric installations, or by trained electricians.
Check machine safety before start working with the machine:
Check that machine is connected to the correct power supply based on the machine ID plate.
Check the power supply cable and plug for visible damages
Check high pressure hose, couplings and ttings for visible damages
Check Trigger Gun and lance for visual damages
When lifting heavy components such as pumps, motors etc. it must be considered if it’s allowed to lift the
weight by hand. If components are too heavy a support tool, e.g., crane must be used to lift the heavy compo
nents. Always check the legislation with your local authorities.
Make sure you have the correct tools and special tools available for your repair job.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
For PPE there are different demands, which are set by local Working Environment Authorities depending on
your location.
These demands must be complied with at all times.
However due to the force of the VHPW machines, Nilsk recommends the PPE mentioned on page 20-21
to be worn by both the VHPW trigger gun operator and the 2nd supporting operator for optimal protection.
Prior to commencing any water blasting work, the area must be barricaded to restrict unauthorized access.
