Revision O
I.
Purposes & Objectives
of
Manual
This manual is mandatory reading for all personnel who will be operating or performing
maintenance and/or repairs on the NLB high pressure water jetting equipment. The manual
must also be distributed to maintenance supervisors responsible for work planning,
scheduling, training, performance evaluating, and reporting. While some sections will be
of
more interest to equipment operators, others are for the use
of
the maintenance personnel.
It
is specifically developed to assist operating and maintenance personnel and is not intended
as
a replacement or substitution for customer developed maintenance criteria. The manual
describes safety features, start-up procedures, recommended preventive maintenance
agendas, troubleshooting activities, special tool descriptions, and repair procedures. As
further assistance to maintenance personnel, there are recommended spare parts lists,
photographically reproduced drawings, bills
of
materials, and assembly drawings which may
list other drawings that can be consulted as reference. The information contained in this
manual supplements instructions preferred by the customer.
There is also a section on safety, located in this binder, intended to point out certain safety
precautions and procedures applicable to high pressure water jetting equipment. The safety
section contains NLB's instructions concerning safe operation and service
of
the equipment.
Certain governmental regulations and industry practices may also apply to the operation and
service
of
the equipment.
If
an information conflict is found to exist between NLB's
instructions and other regulations or practices, NLB must be contacted for clarification prior
to operation or service
of
the equipment.
Insure that all persons involved with the operation and service
of
the equipment have
thorough knowledge
of
that equipment and are familiar with the location and operation
of
all
stopping devices. Except
in
cases
of
extreme emergency, permit only authorized personnel
to start or stop any equipment in the system. Confine operation
of
the equipment to
authorized operators. Leave repair functions
to
trained maintenance personnel.
Be alert to hazardous conditions such as sharp edges and protruding objects, and replace any
broken parts causing these conditions
as
soon
as
possible. Maintain good housekeeping
practices. Clean up all spilled lubricants and other material as promptly as possible. Report
all accidents resulting in damage to equipment and any irregularities in equipment operation
to the proper authority.
Reliability
of
mechanical equipment depends largely on sound maintenance procedures. All
NLB high pressure water jetting equipment should be thoroughly inspected at regular
intervals and corrective measures must be taken to prevent major breakdowns and a loss
of
valuable operation time.
A well organized program should be part
of
any maintenance plans.
If
a log is maintained
with sufficient information, a multi-purpose will be accomplished: first, a record
of
trouble
and responsibility is available; secondly, the log can be reviewed periodically for equipment
