SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
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.
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
evaluation; and lastly, as a historical record. From the information collected, frequency of
inspection and performance change methods could be made. This would then, over a period
of time, make the maintenance program more effective. The PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE section includes a suggested maintenance record form to accomplish these
tasks.
Factors of significant importance that must also be considered are adjustment procedures,
lubrication instructions, troubleshooting, and replacement of parts. These factors are
thoroughly discussed in other sections of this manual.

A. Introduction
These recommended practices cover the personnel requirements, operator training, operating
procedures, and recommended equipment for the proper operation of all types of high
pressure water jetting equipment as normally used by industries concerned with construction,
maintenance, repair, cleaning, and demolition work. Attention is drawn to the relevant or
proposed OSHA, ASTM and ANSI standards. It is intended that extension to this code will
be produced in due course to cover specialist applications (e.g., multiple-gun operation,
pulsed jets, cutting with the use of abrasives and high pressure intensifiers) but in the
meantime, these practices should be used as afar as practicable.
The use of high pressure water jets for cutting and cleaning is a rapidly evolving technology
with current developments occurring. For this reason, these practices are dated and the
association shall bi-annually review these practices for any required changes.
B. Scope
1. The recommended practices are intended to provide guidance on the proper operation
of high pressure water jet cleaning and cutting equipment.
2. In this document, the word "shall" indicates a requirement that is to be adopted in order
to comply with these recommended practices.
3. The term "high pressure water jetting" covers all water jetting, including the use of
additives or abrasives at pressures above 1000 psi (70 bar) approximately.
4. These recommended practices are also applicable at lower pressures where there is
foreseeable risk of injury. As a guideline, the recommended practices are applicable
where the product of pressure- measured in psi (bar), times flow- measured in gallons
per minute (liters per minute) exceeds 2,000 psi times gpm (560 bar times lpm).
5. Any person required to operate or maintain high pressure water jetting equipment shall
have been trained and have demonstrated the ability and knowledge to do so.
C. Definition of Terms
1. High pressure water jet systems - High pressure water jet systems are water delivery
systems which have nozzles or other openings whose function is to increase the speed
of liquids. Solid particles or additional chemicals may also be introduced, but the exit
in all cases will be a free stream.
In terms of these recommended practices, the "system" shall include the pumps
(pressure producing devices) and the hoses, lances, nozzles, valves, and safety devices,
as well as any heating elements or injection systems attached thereto.
2. High pressure water cleaning - The use of high pressure water, with or without the
addition of other liquids or solid particles, to remove unwanted matter from various
surfaces where the pressure of the liquid jet at the orifice exceeds 1,000 psi (69 bar).
Caution:
The lower limit of 1000 psi (69 bar) does not mean that pressures
below 1000 psi (69 bar) cannot cause injury or require any less
attention to the principles of these recommended practices.
Adequate precautions, similar to those of these recommended
practices, are required at all pressures.
3. High pressure water cutting - The use of high pressure water, with or without the
addition of other liquids or solid particles, to penetrate into the surface of a material for
the purpose of cutting that material, and where the pressure of the liquid jet exceeds
1,000 psi (69 bar).
4. Lancing - An application whereby a lance and nozzle combination is inserted into and
retracted from the interior of a pipe or tubular product.
6. Moleing - Moleing is an application whereby a hose, fitted either with a nozzle or with
a nozzle attached to a lance, is inserted into and retracted from the interior of a tubular
product. It is a system commonly intended for cleaning the internal surfaces of pipes
or drains.
7. Nozzle - A device with one (1) or more openings where the fluid discharges from the
system. The nozzle restricts the area of flow of the liquid, accelerating the water to the
required velocity and shaping it to the required flow pattern and distribution for a
particular application. Combinations of forward and backward nozzles are often used
to balance the thrust. Such nozzles are commonly referred to as tips, jets, orifices, etc.
8. Operator - A person who has been trained and has demonstrated the knowledge and
experience to perform the assigned task.
9. Operator trainee - A person not qualified due to the lack of knowledge and/or
experience to perform the assigned task without supervision.
10. Shotgunning - An application whereby a lance and nozzle combination can be
manipulated in virtually all planes of operation.
11. Hose Assembly - A hose with coupling attached in accordance with manufacturer's
specifications.
12. Lance - A rigid metal tube used to extend the nozzle from the end of the hose.
4. Pressure gauge - The system should be equipped with a gauge indicating the pressure
being developed. Gauges shall have a scale range of at least 50% above the
maximum working pressure of the system.
5. Filter or strainer - The water system should be equipped with a filter or strainer to
prevent particles from restricting the orifices in the nozzle. The filter or strainer should
be capable of removing particles smaller in size than the smallest orifice in the nozzle,
and usually smaller to protect high pressure pumps, etc.
6. Dry shut-off control valve - This operator-controlled valve, normally
hand-controlled, automatically shuts off flow to the lance and/or nozzle assembly when
released by the operator, but retains the operating pressure within the supply line when
so shut-off. This valve shall be used in systems with an automatic pressure regulating
valve (IIID#3b above).
Caution:
Care should be taken to release the pressure in the dry shut-off
valve and line when the pump is shut down, otherwise the valve
operating lever may remain alive.
This valve may alternatively be actuated by solenoid or pilot pressure mechanism.
7. Dump system - The system should be equipped with a device which will either shut
down the unit, idle it to a safe rpm, by-pass the flow, or reduce the discharge pressure
to a low level. The dump system actuator device should be shielded to preclude
inadvertent operation. This device should immediately shut off the high pressure water
stream if the operator loses control.
a. Dump control valve - This operator-controlled valve, normally hand-controlled,
automatically terminates significant flow to the lance and/or nozzle assembly when
released by the operator, thus relieving the operating pressure within the whole system
by diverting the flow produced by the pump to atmosphere. A valve size should be
selected that will not cause generation of or significant back pressure at the maximum
possible pumping rate of the pump. This valve may alternatively be actuated by
solenoid or pilot pressure mechanism.
b. Solenoid and electronically operated control dump systems - All electrically
controlled dump systems should be of fail safe design. Voltage of an alternating
current (AC) or direct current (DC) dump system handled by personnel should not
exceed 24 volts.
8. High pressure hose - This is a flexible hose which connects two (2) components and
which delivers the high pressure fluid to the gun or nozzle components. The hose
should have a burst rating of a minimum of two and one half (2.5) times the intended
working pressure. Operating levels below this ratio should require a protective
shielding around that hose. The hose should be marked on one (1) end with the
manufacturer's symbol, the serial number and the maximum permissible operating
pressure and test pressure. The high pressure hose should be tested at one and a half
(1.5) times the working pressure.
9. End fittings and couplings - High pressure hose and end fittings and couplings shall
be manufactured to be compatible with the hose and tested as a unit.
10. Jetting gun extension - This is a length or lengths of tube carrying high pressure fluid
to the nozzle. Each shall be manufactured from suitable material for the application.
End connections shall be suitable for the application. The extension is used in
conjunction with a control valve (IIID#6 and IIID#7 above). The extension shall have
a minimum burst strength of at least two and a half (2.5) times the highest actual
operating pressure being used.
11. Nozzle - The nozzle creates the water jet, or jets, at the required velocity, flow rate,
pressure, shape, and distribution for a particular application. Combinations of forward
and backward directed water jets are often used to balance the thrust. Such nozzles
may be referred to as tips, jets or orifices.
12. Water jet - A jet stream of water produced from the individual outlet orifice of a
nozzle. The shape of the jet is determined by the form of the orifice while the speed at
which it travels is determined by the orifice design, orifice area and flow. The pressure
drop at the orifice is a result of an increase in velocity. The most commonly used jet
shapes are the straight-jet and fan-shaped jet.
a. Straight jet - Concentrates the stream of water over a small area of the workpiece by
minimizing the spread. A typical application is for cutting or for general cleaning of
matter with higher shear and/or bond strength.
b. Fan jet - Spreads the stream of water in one (1) plane, so giving a wide band coverage
of the work piece. A typical application is for cleaning larger areas requiring less
energy to remove unwanted matter.
13. Jetting hand manifold and spray bars - These are pieces of equipment into which
individual nozzles are fitted.
14. Foot control valve - The lance/gun operator's control valve (IIID#6 and IIID#7
above) may be arranged for actuation by the operator's foot if desired, either in place
of, or in addition to the hand-control.
An adequate guard should be fitted to prevent accidental operation and the base plate
area should be sufficient to ensure stability in use. If on the dump type (llID#7 above),
the layout should ensure that the dump line, if used, is restrained from whipping when
the valve is released.
15. Jetting gun - A portable combination of operator's control valve (IIID#6 and IIID#7
above) and nozzle (#11 above) which resembles a gun in layout and outline.
The control valve is hand-operated, generally by a squeeze action of the hand of the
operator, who should always have control of this device and may be of the dry shut off
(IIID#6 above) or dump (IIID#7 above) type, the gun being named accordingly. The
hand-control normally takes the form of a trigger or lever which should be provided
with either a guard adequate to prevent accidental operation, or the means of being
immobilized in the "OFF" position by means of a safety catch. The gun may be fitted
with a shoulder pad or hand grips to facilitate back thrust control.
16. Retro gun - A retro safety gun is fitted with forward and backward facing jets. This
reduces the thrust experienced by the operator. This type of gun is used mainly for
underwater high pressure water jetting operations. The retro balance jet protection tube
should be sufficiently long or constructed so as to prevent the operator from directing a
retro balance jet at himself.
17. Changeover valve - An operator-controlled valve designed to properly direct high
pressure water flow from the pump (IIID#l above) to one (1) or another items of
equipment at the operator's choice. It shall be designed to withstand the maximum
pressure and can be power operated.
When starting, be sure that all air is purged from the high pressure water jetting unit before
connecting the oil line to the pump discharge. Before connecting the oil line to the point of
lubrication, be sure that oil flows from the end of the feed line before it enters the check
valve. If oil does not flow, refer to Section 8: REPAIR - L-55i Oil Plunger Lubricator Pump
Priming.
Open the water supply valve until water is seen trickling from each cartridge flange. The
cartridge flanges have been provided with fittings which deposit water directly onto the
plungers as the high pressure pump runs. Packing and plunger lives are directly extended by
this lubrication. The lubricator was factory adjusted for l/3 gallon (1.2 l) of water per
plunger per minute. Pressure is limited to inlet supply pressure.
a. Before engaging the clutch, disconnect the high pressure hose from the pump discharge,
then engage the clutch. The pump is now operating and a steady stream of water will be
discharged out the high pressure water outlet (Figure 4-8). If the water stream tends to
pulsate, it is an indication that air pockets are in the high pressure fluid cylinder, or the
valves are worn or not operating properly. For corrective action, refer to Section 6:
TROUBLE-SHOOTING - Excessive Pulsation in High Pressure Pump Discharge.
prior to operation, the nozzle should be removed from the lance and the system flushed
thoroughly to remove air and foreign particles.
5. Jetting guns and lances - Jetting guns and lances shall be checked daily and the
trigger mechanism and guard given a thorough visual examination to ensure correct
operation. All high pressure connections should be observed during operation of the
equipment at pressure. If a leak is observed, the high pressure water jetting unit shall
be shut down and the connection repaired or replaced before further operation.
6. Foot control valves - All foot control valves shall be checked and cleaned daily and
the foot mechanism and guard given a thorough visual examination to ensure correct
operation.
7. Electrical Equipment - All electrically operated high pressure water jetting units shall
be checked daily for external damage with special emphasis placed on connection,
junction boxes, switches, and supply cables. Care should be taken to ensure that the
electrical system is protected from the ingress of water. Correct direction of rotation of
the electric motor should be checked on initial installation and after every
re-connection.
8. Trailers - Mounted high pressure water jetting units shall be checked daily examining
tires, braking systems, jacking points, towing hitch, lights, safety chains, structural
damage, and general cleanliness. The units should only be towed by vehicles fit for the
purpose.
9. Engine controls - All throttle cables and engine stop devices shall be checked daily to
ensure that they are functioning properly.
10. Maintenance servicing and repair
(e.g., pipe wrenches) which can damage equipment, is not recommended, particularly
on the crimped portion of a hose fitting.
12. Compatibility - All component parts and fittings should be checked to ensure they are
of the correct size and rating for the unit.
Caution:
Where liquids liable to cause eye damage are encountered, it may be
necessary to use either a combination of visor and goggles or a full face
shield.
Where liquids liable to cause eye damage are encountered, it may be necessary to use
either a combination of visor and goggles or a full hood shield.
4. Body protection - All operators should be supplied with suitable waterproof clothing
having regard to the type of work being undertaken. Garments should provide full
cover to the operator-including the arms. Liquid or chemical resistant suits shall be
worn when there is a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by such
equipment.
5. Hand protection - Adequate hand protection should be supplied to all operators and
shall be worn when there is a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by
such equipment.
6. Foot protection - All operators should be supplied with waterproof boots with steel or
aluminum toe-caps. A metatarsal guard should also be used by water jetting lance/gun
operators.
7. Hearing protection - Most high pressure water jetting operations produce noise levels
in excess of 90 dB (A), consequently, suitable ear protection issued in accordance with
OSHA standards must be worn and provision should be made for its regular inspection
and maintenance. All personnel and operators should receive instruction in the correct
use of ear protectors so that noise exposure lies within the limits as specified by OSHA.
8. Respiratory protection - A respiratory protection program shall be implemented
where there is a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by such a
program.
G. Pre-Operating Procedures
1. Planning - Each job shall be preplanned. Personnel familiar with the equipment to be
cleaned or the material to be cut and the work environment shall meet with the
personnel that will be doing the work and outline potential hazards of the work area,
environmental problems, safety standards, and emergency aid procedures.
2. Check List - A check list shall be used to assure that the proper procedures and
proper equipment selection are followed. (See page 2-5.)
3. Dump Valve - All systems shall incorporate at least one (1) fluid shut off or dump
device. The lance operator must always be able to shut down the water jet by releasing
pressure on the trigger, switch or foot valve pedal.
4. Warning barriers - Barricades shall be erected to encompass the hazard area and
signs posted to warn personnel that they are entering a hazardous area. The perimeter
should be outside the effective range of the water jet wherever possible. Barriers may
be of rope, safety tape, barrels, etc., as long as they give an effective warning and are
highly visible.
5. Hook-up
a. Hose - Hose shall be arranged so a tripping hazard does not occur. Hoses, pipes and
fittings shall be supported to prevent excessive sway and/or wear created by vibration
or stress of the end connections when laid on the ground, over sharp objects or on
vertical runs.
b. Fittings - All fittings shall be cleaned and lubricated before installing in the system.
Be sure all fittings, hoses and nozzles are fit for the purpose.
c. Hose - All hoses shall be checked for evidence of damage, wear or imperfection. The
check shall be made periodically during the operation.
d. Pre-flushing - The system shall be completely flushed with sufficient water to remove
any contaminants before installing the nozzle.
e. Nozzle - All orifices shall be checked in all nozzles for any stoppage, damage or
imperfections.
f. Electrical equipment - Any electrical equipment in the immediate area of the
operation that presents a hazard to the operator shall be de-energized, shielded or
otherwise made safe.
H. Procedures
1. Work area - Where practical, work pieces to be jetted should be removed from plant
areas to a high pressure water jetting area. Where this is impractical, cutting or
cleaning in place, or adjacent to the installed position, can be done with the necessary
clearance and permission of the occupier.
a. Area limits - Area limits applicable to the cutting or cleaning operations shall be
defined and the team shall mark these limits by barriers and notices to warn against
access to other personnel. Suitable barriers shall be an approved form of hazard
warning, rope or tape, as a minimum. Alternatively, a suitable barrier shield is
acceptable at any reasonable distance. Notices should state the following (or in other
suitable wording):
"DANGER
KEEP CLEAR,
HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING IN OPERATION"
b. Corrosive materials - Where there is a possibility of encountering corrosive or toxic
materials, the occupier shall be requested to inform the person in charge of high
pressure water jetting of any precautions that may be necessary, including the
collection and disposal of waste materials.
c. Work surface - Operators should have good access to the work piece, a safe working
platform and secure footing. The area in which work is to proceed shall be kept clear
of loose items and debris to prevent tripping and slipping hazards.
d. Access - Access by unauthorized persons into the area where high pressure water
jetting is taking place shall be prevented. The area shall be cordoned off and warning
notices displayed in prominent positions. The perimeter should be outside the effective
range of the water jet wherever possible.
e. Approaching the operator - The occupier shall be requested to inform all personnel
likely to require access to the area that high pressure water jetting is in progress.
Personnel having reason to enter the water jetting area should wait until the water jet is
stopped and his presence is made known. Personnel wishing to have the jet stopped
shall approach a team member other than the lance/gun operator. The lance/gun
operator shall not be distracted until the water jet has been stopped.
f. Side protection - Target and side shields shall, where feasible, be suitably placed to
safeguard personnel and equipment against contact with grit or solids removed by
water jets.
g. Protective equipment - All personnel working or entering the barricaded area while
cleaning or cutting is in progress shall wear the required protective equipment.
2. Pressurizing the system - Pressure shall be increased slowly on the system while
being inspected for leaks and/or faulty components. All leaks or faulty components
shall be repaired or replaced. System shall be de-pressurized for repairs.
TRAILER MOUNTED
e. Pressurization - During manual operation, the nozzle shall be inserted into the tube
prior to pressurizing. Conversely, the system shall be de-pressurized before removal of
the nozzle from the tube.
f. End identification - Hoses shall be conspicuously marked no closer than 24" (0.6 m)
from the nozzle to warn the operator of the nozzle location.
g. Nozzle support - Where the length of the nozzle and rigid coupling is less than the
inside diameter of the pipe, a length of rigid pipe (i.e., stinger) not less than the
diameter of the pipe being cleaned should be fitted directly behind the nozzle or a
suitable safety shield should be provided to protect the operator. This is to prevent the
nozzle turning around 180 degrees and doubling back towards the operator.
7. Rigid lancing
a. Control - The operator inserting the nozzle shall have direct control of the dump
system.
b. Clearance - The clearance between the outside diameter of the lance and nozzle and
the inside wall of the item being cleaned shall be sufficient to allow adequate washout
of water and debris.
c. Pressurization - When under manual operation, the nozzle shall be inserted into the
tube prior to pressurizing. Conversely, the system shall be de-pressurized before
removal of the nozzle from the tube, unless proper shielding is provided.
d. Shields - When lancing tubes with a rigid lance, a guard should be installed, where
practicable, around the lance, to prevent a lance nozzle from being inadvertently
withdrawn and causing injury.
8. Additives
a. Additives - Any water additive (e.g., chemical, detergent or solid particle) shall be
used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
9. Proper operation
a. Start up - The high pressure water jetting unit shall not be started and brought up to
pressure unless each team member is in his designated position, the nozzle is held in, or
directed at, the work piece and the lance/gun securely held.
b. Adjustments - Apart from operational procedures, no attempt shall be made to adjust
any nut, hose connection, fitting, etc., while the system is under pressure. The high
pressure water jetting unit shall be stopped and any pressure in the line discharged prior
to making any such adjustments.
Caution:
Care should be taken to release the pressure in the dry shut off gun and the
line when the unit is switched off.
c. Equipment malfunction - If for any reason the water flow does not shut off when the
trigger or foot pedal is released, work shall cease until the item has been serviced,
repaired or changed by properly trained personnel.
d. Reaction force - The lance/gun operator should be allowed to experience the reaction
force of the water jet progressively until the required operating pressure is reached.
The lowest pressure should be used compatible with the work to be done. The pressure
shall not be adjusted without the lance/gun operator's awareness.
e. Effect of line impulses - Lance/gun operators should be made aware of the reactive
effect of pressure in the line which can transmit a severe jolt to the operator when the
dump valve or dry shut off valve is operated. To minimize this effect, total hose
lengths should be kept as short as possible. Damping devices can be introduced into
the system.
f. Thermo-plastic hoses - Thermo-plastic hose should not be used for water jetting
unless specifically designed for this purpose.
g. Operator positioning - The team members shall be safely positioned while operating
the system and if any person should encroach into the working area, high pressure
water jetting shall be stopped.
• If any person becomes aware of any change in conditions or any hazards be introduced
or exist.
i. Hose protection - All hoses should be protected from being run over and crushed by
vehicles, fork lift trucks, etc.
J. Back thrust - The back thrust from a linearly directed jet can be calculated from the
following equation:
Caution:
It is not recommended that any one (1) person be required to
withstand a back thrust of more than one third (1/3) of their body
weight for any extended period of time.
7. Hose - The proper method of connecting hoses, including laying out without kinks,
protection from excessive wear, and proper tools to use on couplings and fittings shall
be explained.
8. Stance - The proper stance for sound footing and how to use the various devices for
lancing, shotgunning and moleing shall be demonstrated. The trainee, under close
supervision, shall use the various devices while the unit is slowly pressurized.
9. Proficiency - Personnel shall demonstrate knowledge and skill in the proper operation
of equipment through practical application.
10. General
L. Freeze Precautions
1. Freeze precautions - During the periods where there is a risk of freezing, follow
NLB's recommendations or take the following precautions on shutting down:
a. Remove gun or nozzle from delivery hose.
b. Pump water from supply tank until level of water is just above the filter.
c. Add recommended quantity of anti-freeze into water tank.
d. Place delivery hose into water tank and secure.
e. Run the pump until the anti-freeze works through the system.
f. Move selector lever to dump or recycle position until the anti-freeze shows in the
water tank.
g. If no supply tank is fitted, follow NLB's recommendations.

OPERATION CONTROL
I. Machine Control
A. Control Devices
Control devices found on the Control Panel have a fundamental impact on safety, because at
least a portion of them are able to initiate machine motion. For this reason, it is essential that
every person who comes into contact with this equipment must have a basic grasp of their
functions.
The following are brief descriptions of the push buttons, pilot lights, selector switch, and
float switch that will be encountered on this equipment:
1. Push Buttons
Push buttons are a type of electrical switch used to provide interface between operator and
high pressure water jetting unit controls.
2. Pilot Lights
Pilot lights give a quick visual indication of equipment status. Because of this function, they
often serve as a very important trouble-shooting tool. Pilot lights are equipped with a "push
to test" feature. Depressing a pilot light's lens will cause the pilot light to illuminate if the
pilot light is in proper working order. A pilot light can only be tested when the high pressure
water jetting unit is running.
A push button pilot light is a combination of a push button and a pilot light which
illuminates for a fault condition.
4. Selector Switch
A selector switch provides mode selection capability, e.g., "Warm Engine I Run Engine".
This is a maintained contact device.
5. Float Switch
A float switch is a device designed for automatic control of a liquid in an open or closed
reservoir. A float attached to an arm extending off the switch activates the switch when the
liquid level raises or lowers. The float switch on the high pressure water jetting unit is used
to indicate a low water condition.
The Control Panel features a simple design for operation ease. The panel is housed in a met-
al enclosure that contains a series of gauges which give information on the oil pressure, tem-
perature, voltage, and engine RPM.
For a detail drawing of the panel, refer to "Control Panel Layout", included in this section.
"PRESSURE"
"VOLTS"
Device: Voltmeter
A needle on the gauge indicates the voltage of the battery when operating, measured in volts.
"HOURS/RPM"
"TEMPERJ\TURE"
"KEY START/STOP"
"FUSE"
"RESET"

WARNING:
READ SECTION 2; SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS
EQUIPMENT. OPERATORS SHOULD RECEIVE TRAINING BEFORE USING THE
HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING UNIT. UNTRAINED OPERATORS MAY
CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
f. Undo the water tank latches, open the tank cover and check the water level. Inspect tank
condition. If there is any dirt accumulated in the bottom of the tank, drain the water out
and clean the inside of the tank. Flush the dirt out and wipe away all dirt with a
lint-free rag. After checking the water level, close the cover and secure the latches.
This prevents any airborne dirt from entering the tank and getting into the pump.
g. Check the inlet filter on the water tank by unscrewing the plastic bowl (Figure 4-5).
Flush out the bowl and rinse the screen before re-installing the screen and bowl.
Tighten the bowl finger tight.
h. If the unit is equipped with the optional Water Inlet Bag Filter (PM3350), connect the
inlet and outlet piping to filter, connections are 1-1/2" female NPT. (Flow through the
filter media is from inside to outside.) A minimum clearance of 15" (38.1 cm) above
the centerline of the filter inlet is necessary for removal of the filter internals. Provision
should be made for relieving any residual pressure that may remain in the filter after
inlet flow is shut off.
j. Open and drain the stuffing box drain sump located at the rear of the unit (Figure 4-6).
The dram sump preven1s the, water and 011 mixture packmg weepage from rnn~mg onto
the surface where the high pressure water jetting unit is located.
k. Grease all fittings on the engine power take-off clutch. Fitting locations will vary on
different engines.
1. Check that the high pressure water jetting unit is level on the location surface. Use the
tongue jack for adjustment on the trailer model.
rn. Check that the water supply hose is hooked up and that the water is turned on.
Caution:
Inlet water supply pressure must be a minmum of 40 psi (2.8 bar) to avoid
starving the high pressure pump of water.
n. After all pre-operating checks have been completed, verify and record the completion
of all safety checks listed in Section 2: SAFETY. Make copies of the provided safety
check list so that you can use a new list for start up of each job.
WARNING:
THIS HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING UNIT PASSED ALL LEAK TESTS
BEFORE IT WAS SHIPPED. HOWEVER, YOU MUST INSPECT THE UNIT FOR
ANY LEAKS OR FITTINGS WHICH MAY HAVE LOOSENED DURING SHIPMENT.

After all pre-operating and safety checks have been performed, the engine is ready to be
started. Refer to recommended engine start-up procedures in the engine manual located in
the MANUFACTURERS' LITERATURE section of this manual.
g. Push the black starter crank pushbutton and release when engine fires. If the engine
does not start after three (3) attempts, check the fuel supply system. Lack of blue or
white exhaust smoke during cranking indicates that no fuel is being delivered.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the starter and fuel shut- off solenoid, do not engage
starting motor more than thirty seconds. Wait two (2) minutes between each
Rttempt to start
h. Continue to hold Tattletale (Reset) pushbutton pilot light until engine oil pressure
TM
L This unit is equipped with an Automatic Throttle Control (ATC) (Figure 4-7). The ATC
uses system pressure to control engine speed. When system pressure is low, the ATC
keeps the engine at idle speed. When system pressure is high, engine speed is held at the
preset (loaded) value.
The ATC may be adjusted for any desired loaded engine speed, and locked in that
position so that each time the water jetting accessory is actuated, the engine speed will
increase to that preset value.
Set the ATC at the idle position at the start of each job, or when the water jet nozzle has
been changed. After the clutch is engaged, and the water jetting accessory valve trigger
is squeezed, adjust the ATC to produce the desired system pressure.
J. Engine oil pressure must be indicated on the gauge within 15 seconds after starting.
k. When starting a cold engine, slowly increase the enB;ine speed (rpm) to provide adequate
lubrication to the bearmgs and also allvw tl1e oil pressure to staDillzc by turmng me
throttle control. After the engine speed has been adjusted for proper pump pressure,
tighten the lock nut on the handle shaft.
Caution:
Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time. Idling more than
10 minutes can cause combustion chamber temperatures to drop so low that
fuel cannot burn completely. This will allow carbon to clog the injector spray
holes and piston rings and can cause the valves to stick.
The throttle control should be adjusted to idle speed at the start of each job
or when a nozzle size has been changed.
b. If the pump discharge is proper, allow the pump to run at idle speed for approximately
one (1) to two (2) minutes to insure proper oil circulation.
c. After warm up-period, disengage the clutch, connect the high pressure hose to the pump
discharge. The unit is now ready for operation. If you are using accessories, refer to
your NLB high pressure water jetting accessory manual for details.
The maximum pressure/temperature rating of the filter is 300 psi (20. 7 bar) at 100°F
(38 °C). If operating pressure can exceed 300 psi (20. 7 bar) an automatic pressure relieving
or limiting device must be installed to protect the filter.
The maximum pressure across the filter media is 50 psi (3.4 bar). When filter outlet

SECTION 5
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
All machine parts wear with use. This wear does not always result in out-and-out
equipment failure, but rather in a creeping out of tolerance that can cause gradual
deterioration of results. Preventive maintenance must be performed on a regular basis at the
correct intervals to thwart this degradation.
The desirability of preventive maintenance has always been there, but often because of a
pressing need for emergency repair work brought on by its very absence, preventive
maintenance has quite often been neglected. This attitude of supposedly benign neglect is
changing, partly in response to an ever increasing sophistication and complexity in industrial
equipment.
The proper operation and use of equipment contributes to preventive maintenance as much as
the inspections and services prescribed in this section.
NLB strongly recommends that log sheets be filled out for each piece of equipment or
accessory. The log sheets are valuable records which, when properly filled out, will serve as
a master record indicating the condition of each component and when inspections were
made. These records will also save time and money by aiding in the proper diagnosis of
chronic problem areas.
If preventive maintenance is to mean anything, it must be scheduled. The very best way to
schedule preventive maintenance is through the institution of a thorough ongoing program
using some sort of scheduling chart or computerized tracking system to check compliance.
When this is performed on a timely basis, the incidence of emergency repairs tends to
subside.
All maintenance personnel should document any maintenance or repairs they perform. An
hour meter provided on the control panel is helpful for this purpose. A maintenance record
form should be used to record the actual maintenance accomplished, and using the hour
meter to determine when various preventive maintenance should be accomplished.
Operation under adverse temperature conditions, dust, corrosive vapors, or moisture requires
more frequent servicing.
1. Freezing Conditions
To prevent freezing of liquid in the fluid cylinder, and to inhibit lubricating oil from
becoming too viscous, you must protect the high pressure pump from freezing temperatures.
If exposure to temperatures below 32 ° F (0 °C) is unavoidable, provisions must be made to
keep the pump's power end, fluid end, inlet water bag filter assembly, and plunger lubricator
from freezing. If water will freeze during shut-down periods, then the entire system must
be drained to prevent damage to pump and piping. A non-freezing, non-corroding liquid
must then be forced from the suction line into the pumping chambers to force the fluid out
of the pumping chambers (V: Winterizing Procedure in this section).
2. Dusty Conditions
3. Corrosive Vapors
Care should be made to eliminate the exposure of the high pressure water jetting unit to
corrosive gases to prevent contamination of the high pressure pump's power end.
4. High Humidity
High pressure water jetting units exposed to high humidity, unless operated continuously,
will accumulate condensation in the the high pressure pump's power end and oil plunger
lubricator. Take periodic oil samples from the drain connections. If water is detected, then
the oil must be changed.
D. Safety
The subject of safety has been discussed elsewhere in this manual. The reader is referred to
Section 2: SAFETY and to other cautions and warnings to be found throughout this manual.
However, because preventive maintenance requires such close contact with the high pressure
water jetting unit, caution must be exercised every minute. Here is a brief review of some of
the safety basics before delving more deeply into preventive maintenance:
• Remove any loose objects such as trash and oily rags from the work area.
• Safety begins with you. Make sure that all equipment has finished operating and has
been shut-down before beginning work.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working.
• Review all safety information pertaining to the work you are about to do.
• All electrical components associated with this system are to be maintained in accordance
with approved practices. Never use jumper wires across fuses, fuse holders or circuit
breakers.
• Do not work on anything that is supported ONLY by lifting jacks or a hoist. Always
use blocks or proper stands to support the product before performing any service work.
• Dump all high pressure before any lines, fittings, or related items are removed or
disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a
system that utilizes pressure.
• Avoid personal injury. Use a chain hoist, or get assistance, when lifting components that
weigh 50 lb. (23 kg) or more. Make sure all lifting devices (chains, hooks, or slings) are
in good condition and are of the correct capacity. Make sure hooks are positioned
correctly. Always use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting hooks must not be
side loaded.
• To avoid bums, be alert for hot parts on components that have just been turned off.
• Always use tools that are in good condition. Make sure you understand how to use them
before performing any preventive maintenance work.
• Do not attempt pressurization of the power end with dry gas to exclude contaminants
without a special oil level indicator. With a standard indicator, all oil will be lost
through the vent hole in the top of the indicator.
The basic "tool" of preventive maintenance is visual inspection. During this inspection,
screws should be tightened, adjustments done if needed, component wear noted, modest
amount of lubrication performed, etc.
The following pages provide guidelines for visual inspection, preventive maintenance and
adjustment instructions for the high pressure water jetting unit. Inspect each component at
the suggested interval. If, upon inspection, a component needs adjustment, lubrication or
replacement, perform the required maintenance as part of the preventive maintenance
program.
Service intervals specified are for operating hours with moderate temperatures unless
otherwise specified. It should be noted that service intervals should be adjusted accordingly
for operation in abnormal environmental conditions. The suggested service intervals are for
the purpose of illustration only. It is very important that each component be checked.
Special attention should be given to the high pressure pump, in particular, the lubricant level.
Note:
Even though the indicated interval for the high pressure pump crankcase oil change
is every 500 hours or six (6) months, the first change should be at 125 hours. See
IV: Lubrication Instructions in this section.
Note:
Manufacturer's nameplate data and instructions take precedent over the following
recommendations:
WARNING:
SERVICING AN ENERGIZED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN BE HAZARDOUS,
SEVERE INJURY CAN RESULT FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURN.
RECOMMENDED PRACTICE IS TO DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FROM
THE POWER SOURCE.
Periodic Inspection
Electrical components should be inspected periodically. Inspection intervals should be based
on environmental and operating conditions, and adjusted as indicated by experience. An
initial inspection within three (3) or four (4) months after delivery is suggested. Applicable
parts of the following guidelines should be used:
Contamination
If inspection reveals that dust, dirt, moisture or other contamination has reached the electrical
components, the cause must be eliminated. This could indicate an incorrect or ineffective
enclosure, unsealed enclosure openings (conduit or other) or incorrect operating procedures.
Dirty, wet, contaminated, or corroded parts must be replaced unless they can be cleaned
effectively by vacuuming or wiping.
Operating Mechanism
a. Check gauges, switches, and push buttons for proper functioning and freedom from
sticking or binding. Replace any broken, deformed or badly worn parts. Check for, and
re-tighten securely, any loose fasteners.
Pilot Light
a. Check bulbs for burn out or damaged lens.
Fuse
a. Check for proper size of fuse and tightness of fuse clips and terminals.
B. Mechanical Components
Diesel Engine
Preventive maintenance begins with day-to-day awareness of the condition of the engine
and its systems. Check for the following:
a. Check the oil pressure indicator, warning light, water temperature gauge and other
gauges to make sure they are operational.
b. Check to see if the lubricating oil level is at the proper level (oil mark between "L" and
"H"). Add as needed.
Note:
To obtain an accurate measurement, the engine must be level when checking the
lubricating oil level.
WARNING:
DO NOT REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP FROM A HOT ENGINE. WAIT UNTIL
THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 122°F (50°C) BEFORE REMOVING THE
PRESSURE CAP. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
FROM THE HEATED COOLANT SPRAY OR STEAM. REMOVE THE FILLER
CAP SLOWLY TO RELIEVE COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE.
d. Visually inspect the drive belt for intersecting cracks. Transverse cracks (across belt
width) are acceptable. Longitudinal cracks (direction of belt length) that intersect with
transverse cracks are not acceptable. Replace the belt if it is frayed or has pieces
missing (Figures 5-1and5-2).
e. Check to see if the fan is securely mounted. Inspect the cooling fan for cracks, loose
rivets and bent or loose blades. Replace any fan that is damaged.
f. Drain the water from the fuel-water separator. Use the following procedure:
1. Shut off engine.
2. Open drain valve. Turn valve counter-clockwise four (4) complete turns until the
valve drops down one (1) inch (25.4 mm).
3. Drain the fuel-water separator of water and sediment until clear fuel is visible.
Caution:
Do not overtighten the valve. Over-tightening can damage the threads.
4. Push the valve up and turn the valve clockwise to close the drain valve.
Note:
If more than two (2) ounces (2.9 ml) is drained, refill the filter to help prevent hard
starting.
g. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the throwout collar on the power take-off through
the fitting on the tapered part of the housing.
b. After approximately one (1) hour of operation, touch the side of the pump on the power
end to see if the operating temperature is normal (should be warm, but not hot to the
touch).
c. Check to see if crankcase oil level is full. Add oil if needed. If the gasket is leaking,
replace the gasket.
b. Make sure plungers are screwed tightly into the crosshead stubs.
V-belts
a. Check belt tension frequently. Belt tension may be affected by stretching of the belts or
by wear to the contact surface of belts and sheaves. Belt slippage on the sheaves will
greatly increase the rate of wear. With the high pressure water jetting unit off, open the
access door in the V-belt guard. Adjust belts to correct tension, refer to Section 8:
REPAIR, G. V-belt.
Caution:
Care should be taken to insure that grease and oil do not come into contact
with V-belts. These lubricants can not only cause belt slippage, but also
make the belt weak and spongy. Replace worn V-belts before failure occurs.

NLB does not warrant that adherence to these suggestions will necessarily result in proper
lubrication. NLB disclaims any responsibility for equipment and/or accessory failure that is
due to the lack of or improper lubrication. NLB suggests that you consult with your
lubrication supplier for recommendations that will suit your specific requirements.
Note:
Manufacturer's nameplate data take precedent over the following suggestions.
Drain lubricating oil only when it is hot and the contaminants are in suspension.
Power Take-Off
For anti-friction bearings, use any high grade lithium base grease lubricant that can handle a
high operating temperature of 200°F (93.3 °C).
Caution:
To avoid dirt filled from being injected into the bearings, clean off the grease
fittings before connecting the grease gun.
The bronze type collar design needs lubrication daily or after every 10 hours of operation.
The ball bearing type needs to be periodically lubricated every 100 hours of operation. The
sealed-for-life type ball bearing collar needs no lubrication.
Unless specified otherwise, service intervals specified are for operating hours in moderate
temperatures. Adjust service intervals accordingly for operation in abnormal conditions.
The suggested lubrication instructions and service intervals are for illustration purposes only.

Safe level sight feed is standard equipment. The sight feed glass in the Model L-55i pump is
dependent on a vacuum seal. Oil enters the sight glass chamber on the downward or suction
stroke of the plunger and is delivered on the upward or pressure stroke of the plunger.
The safe level sight feed serves a double purpose. First, a flow rate can be determined by
counting the drops of oil delivered per minute. Second, the sight feed serves as a warning
device when excess air infringement causes the oil level in the sight glass to diminish.
Diminishing oil level is a condition that is caused by air that gets trapped in the sight glass.
This air will eventually enter into the valve system in the pump and cause pump air lock.
The condition is associated with the use of crankcase oils. Some success in dealing with this
condition can be obtained by the use of settling tanks to remove such air before it enters the
lubricator.
Adjustment of drip rate may be accomplished by loosening the lock nut with a wrench
(Figure 5-4). Turn the adjusting screw clockwise (downwards) for less oil, or turn it
counter-clockwise (upwards) for increased oil drip rate.
If the lubricator reservoir should be allowed to run dry, refer to Section 8: REPAIR - L-55i
Oil Plunger Lubricator - Pump Priming.
Note:
Handling and disposal of used lubricating oil may be subjected to international,
federal, state, and local law regulation. Use authorized waste disposal facilities,
including civic amenity sites and garages providing authorized facilities for receipt of
used lubricating oil. If in doubt, contact the Environmental Protection Agency or
appropriate agency in your area for details on laws and services.
V. Winterizing Procedure
Caution:
Do not drain the hoses and assume the high pressure pump is drained. Water
always remains trapped inside the pump. Water freezing in the high pressure
pump will damage the pump, such damage is not covered by the NLB
warranty.
When the high pressure water jetting unit is to be left in temperatures below 32°F (0°C),
provisions must be made to keep the high pressure pump from freezing. If conditions will
allow water in the unit to freeze during shut-down periods, the entire system must be drained
to prevent damage to the pump and piping. Antifreeze solution liquid must then be forced
from the suction line into the pumping chambers to force the fluid out of the pumping
chambers. The recommended procedure for this is listed in the following steps:
a. Remove all high pressure hoses. Carefully drain all water from high pressure hoses,
and re-install.
b. Drain all water from the water tank through the drain valve (Figure 5-5).
c. After the tank is drained, open the top of the tank. Reach in and turn the pump suction
elbow in an upwards direction (Figure 5-6). Remove the filter screen.
d. Start the diesel engine and engage the power take off. Start pouring coolant into the
vertical pipe (Figure 5-7).
e. Keep pouring coolant until the color of the discharge from the pump matches the color
of the new coolant. This indicates that the coolant is in the high pressure pump and
piping.
f. The high pressure water jetting unit is now safe to store indefinitely where temperatures
reach 0° F (-18 ° C).
g. The coolant solution in the diesel engine's radiator should be checked at regular
intervals to assure that the engine does not freeze up. Add coolant as needed.

1060D, 860D, & 760D high pressure water jetting units are relatively straightforward
operating machines. For this reason, ordinary trouble-shooting methods will suffice in
almost every case.
A. Trouble-Shooting Tips
The following trouble-shooting tips are offered to assist the technician in tracking down
problems:
• Take a few minutes to carefully listen to the unit and observe it in operation. Learn to
recognize the normal noises and operating conditions of the unit. This will enhance
your ability to notice any unusual machine behavior.
• Maintain a record of all service performed on the equipment. This record will provide
valuable information to assist you in stocking spare parts and scheduling preventive
maintenance.
Note:
A maintenance log form is found in Section 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
The trouble-shooting guide will aid in identifying the probable cause of a malfunction and
establish the most effective corrective action.
The probable causes of each malfunction are listed from the most likely to the least likely to
occur. The corrective action is a condensed, step-by-step summary of the repair procedure
required to remedy the problem.
Use the following trouble-shooting diagnostic procedure when a high pressure water jetting
system malfunction occurs:
a. Precisely define the symptom of the problem. This is the most important step in
identifying the probable cause.
b. Locate the symptom that most closely resembles your appraisal of the problem.
If the symptoms in the chart do not correspond to any malfunction in the guide, or if the
problem is not determined or eliminated by the corrective action, contact NLB's Customer
Service Department. Refer to Section 10: CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
A. Symptoms
Excessive pulsation in the high pressure pump discharge piping or hoses is evidenced by a
hose leading to the accessory lance or foot control valve oscillating back and forth more than
1-1/16" (27 mm).
Note:
It must be understood that the valves in the high pressure pump's fluid cylinder are
inherently noisy. The typical noise from the valves may be mistaken for bearing
noise in the pump.
b. Loose plungers Check to see if any plungers are loose from the crosshead
stubs. If loose, apply some blue LOCTITE® between
faces of plunger and crosshead, then tighten firmly. If
plungers are tight, proceed to Probable Cause "c".

I. Repair Overview
This section is intended to supply essential information for the repair of NLB Corporation
Models 1312D, 1012D, 812D, 612D, 512D, 412D, 3.512D, 312D, 1060D, 860D, & 760D
high pressure water jetting units. The information contained within this section will help you
perform servicing procedures efficiently and solve problems quickly.
A. Safety
The high pressure water jetting units and accessories have been designed with safety in mind.
Service personnel shall exercise and promote safety at all times to avoid potential injuries
and/or equipment damage.
The subject of safety has been discussed elsewhere in this manual. The reader is referred to
Section 2: SAFETY and to other cautions and warnings to be found throughout this manual.
Safety precautions must be exercised every minute during the servicing of the high pressure
water jetting unit. Here is a brief review of some of the general safety precautions before
delving more deeply into repair:
• All service personnel who will perform any repair work shall take notice of all safety
signs affixed to the high pressure water jetting unit. Copies of each sign are found in
Section 2: SAFETY.
• The work area shall be clean and free of all debris. Oil spillage, resulting in slippery
floors, must be cleaned up before performing any work on the equipment.
• Provide suitable receptacles (e.g., pans, trays, etc.) to catch and retain fluids so as to
not create a hazardous work area.
• As a general rule, it is recommended that safety shoes and glasses be worn. Do not
wear any jewelry (e.g., watches, rings, bracelets, etc.) while servicing the equipment.
• If the equipment needs to be started in order to confirm the intended repair work, be
sure that you know how to stop it.
• Never attempt to perform any service functions or clean around the equipment while it
. .
is runnmg.
Caution:
The use of improper tools can result in injury to personnel and/or costly
damage to equipment.
• Be sure all tools, parts and rags are cleared away from any moving parts after servicing
the equipment.
• High pressure water may remain in the unit for a prolonged period of time after
shutdown of the high pressure water source. Make sure to bleed down all unit pressure
before service is attempted to any part of the unit.
• Some of the fittings, connection or parts are equipped with weep holes. Do not touch
these weep holes with your bare hands or try to stop the flow of water by clogging the
holes.
• When breaking any high pressure connection, slowly loosen the fitting nut to allow any
stored pressure to escape through the fitting weep hole. Never stand directly in line
with the fitting weep hole when performing such procedures.
• Do not remove high pressure tubing protective shields. If the protective shields are
removed for service, make sure that they are put back on before starting the unit.
• Do not step or lean on high pressure water tubing. You may break the connection and
cause leakage.
• Use only high pressure fittings, valves and tubing which are certified for the pressure
rating when making alterations or additions to the high pressure water jetting unit.
• Double check to insure that all pressure is relieved from the system before proceeding
with repairs.
• Use a clean workbench in a dust and dirt free work environment. Do not create
air-borne dust.
• Use lint-free material for wipe cloths. Do not use paper towels.
• When blowing off parts with compressed air, use only clean dry air. When flushing
parts with a solvent, use only clean filtered fluid.
• Protect all machined and lapped mating surfaces against nicks, scratches and burrs.
• Before assembling, make sure that all parts are clean, free of metal particles, dirt,
dust, etc.
• Use extreme care when aligning close tolerance machine parts for assembly. Do not
force parts together. If mating parts bind, then separate them and try again until
properly aligned.
Caution:
It should never be necessary to force an assembly together.
• Plungers are made using strong but brittle material. Avoid dropping, sharp blows or
heavy loads when working with these expensive parts.
• Inspect threaded areas of components that are removed for service. If damaged, then
repair the threads or replace the component before final assembly.
• Inspect all surfaces (especially polished surfaces) for cracks, pits, unusual marks,
surface wear or rubbing. Repair or replace all questionable parts.
• Always use Teflon™ tape to wrap threaded ends of components before assembly.
• Notify NLB Customer Service Department for all repair requirements which cannot be
handled locally.
1. Repair Procedures
The repair procedures are arranged as step-by-step instructions. Most procedures include
illustrations to assist the service personnel in repairing NLB Corporation Models 1312D,
1012D, 812D, 612D, 512D, 412D, 3.512D, 312D, 1060D, 860D, & 760D high pressure
water jetting units.
Accessories for the high pressure water jetting units are covered separately in their respective
manuals. Accessory manuals should be included in the binder. For more information,
contact NLB Customer Service Department (Section 10: CUSTOMER SUPPORT for
procedure).
2. Repair Tips
The following repair tips are offered to assist the service technician in making timely repairs:
• Make a routine daily inspection of the entire unit before operating (Section 5:
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE). Inspect all parts of the unit for abnormal
conditions. If a malfunction has occurred, then identify the cause (Section 6:
TROUBLE-SHOOTING), document the information, and correct the problem before
operating the unit.
• Read all of the information on the procedure that is involved before performing the
actual repair. If you have any questions, call the NLB Corp. Customer Service
Department (Section 10: CUSTOMER SUPPORT).
• Carefully study and understand all of the emphasized material (Notes, Cautions and
Warnings) in the repair procedure.
• Disconnect the electrical system from the battery and relieve the system water pressure
before performing any repair.
• Routinely check high pressure water lines and fittings for leaks. High pressure water
leakage is wasted energy.
• Inspect all around the area for parts, tools and rags before operating the unit.
• Make sure all of the operating parts of the unit are clean.
• Maintain records of the repair performed on the unit. These records will provide
valuable information for ordering specific parts and for maintenance in general.
• Handle critical parts with care. Avoid scratching or denting the high pressure water
system components.
1. Fluid End
Because of the precise machining and stringent metallurgical specifications required for safe
and proper operation, only NLB parts should be used when repairing the high pressure
pump.
Maintenance will be required if the leakage from any packing exceeds six (6) drops per
second, if any other part allows any water to leak, or if the pump is not performing properly.
The following procedure provides for disassembly and repair of the complete liquid end.
Repair of only one part of the liquid end will not require complete disassembly.
Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE(-) CABLE FIRST. BLEED DOWN ALL
HIGH PRESSURE LINES. PUT A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG ON THE
CONTROLS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Remove the wing nuts from each side of the plastic cover. Raise the plastic cover up
while being careful not to catch or stretch the hoses. Remove the hose clamps from each
hose. Remove all three (3) hoses. Lay the plastic cover and the hoses back out of the
way.
2. Turn the pump crankshaft until the crosshead stub plunger reaches the correct position
for repair procedure (Figure 8-1 ). The crankshaft can be turned by moving the V-belts,
which can be reached through the inspection port in the belt guard (Figure 8-2).
3. Use a 1-1/2" combination wrench on the plunger and a pipe wrench firmly held on the
square surface (to keep it from rotating) of the crosshead stub (Figure 8-1). Unscrew
the plunger from the crosshead stub (a considerable torque will be required to initially
loosen the the plungers from the crosshead stub). Push the plunger into the stuffing box
(Figure 8-3).
4. Place the Special Tool (ST 1-5/8" Socket Adapter) into the Allen bolt socket (Figure
8-4). Use a 3/4" socket and ratchet wrench to completely unscrew all four (4) bolts in
the corners of the stuffing box flange.
Figure 8-4. Placing the special tool into the Allen bolt socket.
5. After the stuffing bolts have been completely loosened, tap and carefully pry on the
stuffing box until it breaks loose from the fluid cylinder. Grasp the stuffing box and
remove it from the pump (Figure 8-5).
6. The stuffing box should be disassembled and overhauled in a clean workbench area.
Remove the packing spring from the end of the plunger. Pull the plunger out of the
stuffing box (Figure 8-6).
7. Remove lubrication fitting on the stuffing box. Insert Special Tool (PD-33A or
PD-34B Packing Drift) into the stuffing box and gently tap on the end of the Special
Tool with a ball-peen hammer (Figure 8-7).
Figure 8-7. Tapping the drift tool to remove packing and bushings.
8. Drive the drift tool in as far as it will go and the packing will come out (Figure 8-8).
9. Clean and inspect the surface of all parts. Replace damaged or worn parts. Do not reuse
worn plungers, bushings or stuffing boxes. Plungers and bushings must be within
recommended maximum clearances -- it is of critical importance that a close tolerance
must be maintained between the backup ring and the plunger. The diametral clearance
for a new Backup Ring (Item #15) is .002 to .004" (.051 to .102 mm). You must
replace the backup ring if the clearance has reached .007" (.178 mm).
10. The new packing elements are in the correct order when packaged. Make sure that they
are kept that way (Figure 8-9). The first, third and fifth elements are wax impregnated
flax. The second and fourth are made from lead. Stagger the splits, as shown, during
installation (Figure 8-10).
#4
#3
11. Keep the packing and bushings in correct order during assembly (Figure 8-11).
Install the Backup Ring (Item #15), then the Packing (Item #14), then the Throat
Bushing (Item #13).
12. Lubricate by dipping the individual pieces of the packing set and bushings into a cup of
SAE 15W40 oil (Figure 8-12).
13. Use your fingers to insert each bushing and packing set piece (Figure 8-13) and use
Special Tool PD-33A or PD-34B Packing Drift to seat each piece into its final position
(Figure 8-14).
Caution:
Offset the splits in the packing during installation. If the splits are lined up
packing failure will result.
14. After the bushings and the packing set have been installed, carefully push the plunger
into the stuffing box (Figure 8-15). Work the plunger through the packing, with a
gentle twisting motion, until the wrenching surface is up against the stuffing box.
15. Use a pick to remove the 0-ring (Figure 8-16). Wipe off, until completely clean,
the groove and the seating surface. Lightly grease the new 0-ring (Item #11)
and push it, without damage, into the stuffing box groove. Install the Packing Spring
(Item #12). The assembly is now ready for installation to the high pressure pump.
16. Replace the stuffing box on the pump body and start four (4) Allen bolts by hand. The
packing spring tension inside the stuffing box will tend to hold the stuffing box away
from the fluid cylinder (Figure 8-17).
Figure 8-17. Inspecting gap between stuffing box and fluid cylinder.
17. Tighten down the Allen bolts, in increments, according to the torque sequence (Figure
8-18). Keep checking for even alignment of the stuffing box to the pump (not "cocked"
sideways). When the stuffing box is snug to the body, make sure that the fit is even.
Use the torque wrench to final tighten the bolts, in torque sequence, to the specified 300
lb.-ft. (406. 7 Nm) for A-Cylinders and 150 lb.-ft. (203.4 Nm) for B-Cylinders.

18. After the stuffing box is properly installed, push the plunger up towards the crosshead
stub (Figure 8-19).
19. Apply a generous bead of blue LOCTITE® to the threads (Figure 8-20) between the
plunger and the crosshead stub. Use a combination wrench to draw the plunger up tight
to the crosshead stub, since it cannot rotate in a clockwise manner. Torque to 40-50
lb.-ft. (54.6 to 68 Nm).
20. Replace the lubricator hoses and clamps. Install the plastic cover.
Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE(-) CABLE FIRST. BLEED DOWN ALL
HIGH PRESSURE LINES. PUT A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG ON THE
CONTROLS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Remove sufficient piping or accessories from the manifold so that it can be completely
separated from the pump and placed on a clean workbench.
2. Insert Special Tool (Figure 8-21) and socket with ratchet (Figure 8-22) to remove the
Allen bolts from the manifolds. Use Special Tool (ST 1-3/4" Socket Adapter), or 3/4"
hex stock, for the discharge manifold. Use Special Tool (ST 1-5/8" Socket Adapter), or
5/8" hex stock, for the suction manifold. Leave at least two (2) bolts partially engaged
to prevent the manifold from falling off before removal.
3. When removing the discharge manifold, have two (2) people, one (1) person on each
end, grasp and carefully lift up the manifold (Figure 8-23). If only one (1) person is
available, fasten two (2) each 1/2" -13 eye bolts to the manifold and use a chain fall or
hoist to lift off.
4. Two (2) people - one (1) person on each end, are needed to hold up the ends of the
suction manifold. Remove the two (2) partially engaged Allen bolts and then carefully
pull the manifold away (Figure 8-24). Place the manifold on a clean workbench.
Caution:
The manifolds are heavy. To avoid personal injury, use two (2) people, one (1)
person at each end, to remove.
Scratches or other damage to the 0-ring sealing surfaces on the manifolds
and the cylinder adjacent to the valves will cause leaks.
Note:
To simplify maintenance and to avoid the possibility of seat bypass causing fluid to
washout, the unitized wing type valve assemblies are designed to be clamped
between the fluid cylinder and the manifolds. All of the components are designed
together so that a valve unit cannot be installed backwards. Furthermore, the
suction and discharge valve assemblies are interchangeable.
The stainless steel seating surfaces of the valve and seat will allow for occasional
refinishing. The need for "lapping" or "polishing" will depend directly on the unit
operating conditions, the type of fluid being pumped and presence of abrasives or
other foreign matter in the fluid. Excessively worn parts should be replaced with
new.
5. After the manifolds have been removed to a clean workbench, the valves are exposed.
Lift or pull the valve assemblies from the main fluid cylinder by hand (Figure 8-25).
6. Inspect all valve assembly parts for wear or damage (Figure 8-26). Check all
0-rings on valves for any nicks or cuts. Use 0-rings that are in perfect condition, but
replace any which are not. The valve assembly is made up of (from left to right):
0-ring (Item #3), Valve Seat (Item #4), Valve (Item #5), Valve Spring (Item #6), 0-ring
(Item #3), Suction Valve Stop (Item #7), and 0-ring (Item #3).
7. To inspect the seating surfaces, separate the valve and seat from the valve stop (Figure
8-27).
Figure 8-27. Separating the valve and valve seat from the stop.
8. Remove the valve from the valve seat (Figure 8-28). Wash and dry the parts.
Clean the surfaces with a lint-free rag. Inspect the 0-rings and seating surfaces. If a
scratch, groove or eroded area extends across the seating surface, you must refinish the
surfaces before assembling or operating the unit.
9. To refinish the valve seat, apply valve grinding compound on either the valve or the seat
(Figure 8-29) and put the valve back into the seat.
10. Insert a screwdriver into the top of the valve and rotate the valve against the valve seat.
Keep shifting the parts so that both surfaces are evenly resurfaced (Figure 8-30).
Note:
For optimum sealing, the surfaces of the valve and valve seat should have an eight
(8) micro inch, or smoother, RMS finish. After the valve and seat have been
refinished several times, they may become too thin to perform their function
effectively Replace excessively worn parts with new.
11. Remove all traces of grinding compound and carefully wash and dry all parts. Assemble
the refinished valve assemblies (Figure 8-26).
12. Place the clean valve assemblies into the proper ports in the main fluid cylinder (Figure
8-25).
13. Wipe clean, with lint-free rags, all mating surfaces. Place the suction and discharge
manifolds into their proper locations. The design of the mounting bolt holes, size, and
valve porting insures correct component alignment only. Hand start the manifold bolts.
14. To avoid non-uniform loading and to evenly tighten the manifolds to the fluid cylinder,
apply torque to all bolts in sequence (Figures 8-31 and 8-32). Tighten the suction
manifold bolts (in 50 lb.-ft. increments per bolt) up to the final torque of 300 lb.-ft.
(406. 7 Nm). Tighten the discharge manifold bolts, in 50 lb.-ft. (68 Nm) increments per
bolt, up to the final torque of 450 lb.-ft. (612 Nm).

WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE(..:.) CABLE FIRST. BLEED DOWN ALL
HIGH PRESSURE LINES. PUT A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG ON THE
CONTROLS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
The main fluid cylinder may be removed from the power end as an assembly or
disassembled prior to removal. If you have already removed the plungers, stuffing
boxes, manifolds and valves, or you are removing the cylinder as an assembly,
disregard steps # 1 - 5 below:
2. Disconnect plungers from crosshead stubs (Refer to Section 8.JIAI a: Plunger Packing
and Stuffing Boxes).
4. Remove suction and discharge manifolds (Refer to Section 8.JIAI b: Suction and
Discharge Manifolds and Valve Assemblies).
6. Install two (2) 1/2"-13 UNC eye bolts into the tapped holes in the top of the fluid
cylinder.
7. Use Special Tool (ST4-1012) (Figure 8-33) and torque wrench (Figure 8-34) to loosen
and remove the cylinder tie stud nuts.
9. Carefully pull the fluid cylinder away from the power frame. Do not damage the
alignment holes or the dowel pins that are just above the cylinder tie stud holes on the
face of the power frame (Figure 8-35). If a chain fall or hoist is unavailable, the
fluid cylinder may also be carefully lifted off by two (2) people - one (1) at each end.
Caution:
Do not damage the dowel pins that are located on the face of the power frame
(just above the cylinder tie stud holes) or the corresponding alignment holes
on the fluid cylinder.
10. Clean and inspect the fluid cylinder and the power frame mating surfaces. Use plastic
scraper to remove paint, dirt or burrs. Look for cracks or deep scratches. Replace
damaged parts with new.
Note:
The fluid cylinder may be installed with the discharge manifold assembled to the
main fluid cylinder.
11. With chain fall or hoist attached, or by manually lifting with two (2) people, one (1)
person at each end, carefully push the fluid cylinder into place against the power frame.
Line up the dowel pins on the power frame face (Figure 8-35) to the corresponding
alignment holes in the fluid cylinder.
Caution:
Cylinder tie stud bolts must be torqued to specifications. If they are not, the
bolts will break under the high cyclic loading imposed on them. Bolt failure
will result in any or all of the following: the separation of the fluid cylinder
from the power frame; the fracture of the side of the frame itself; damage to
the plungers, stubs or stuffing box components; as well as potential severe
personal injury.
Cylinder tie stud nuts must be installed with the mating surface (side without
embossed identification lettering) towards the fluid cylinder or damage can
occur to fluid cylinder and power frame; as well as potential severe personal
injury.
12. Install the fluid cylinder bolts. Tighten down the fluid cylinder evenly to the power
frame with the Special Tool (ST4-1012) (Figure 8-33). Use the torque wrench to
final tighten the bolts to the specified 300 lb.-ft. (407.6 Nm) (Figure 8-34).
13. Make sure that all mating surfaces are smooth. Use plastic scraper to remove paint, dirt
or burrs. Wipe surfaces clean (with lint-free rags) on valve assemblies, manifolds and
fluid cylinder.
14. Coat the 0-rings with light grease to hold them in position for proper seating.
2. Power End
Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
To completely dismantle the power end, the coupling or sheave must be removed
from the crankshaft. If the pump is equipped with a gear-pac, the main gear must
be removed.
2. Disconnect each Plunger (Item #17) from the Crosshead Stubs (Item #31 ). Push the
plungers into the fluid end (Refer to Section 8./1.A.l.a.: Plunger Packing and Stuffing
Boxes).
3. Remove the Splash Deflectors (Item #33). Remove crosshead stub deflectors, if so
equipped.
4. Dislodge the Crosshead Stub Seal Flanges (Item #36) by pulling from frame bore, after
removing each Crosshead Stub Seal Flange Bolt (Item #34) and Crosshead Stub Seal
(Item #35). If needed to facilitate removal, screw two (2) 3/8" (9.5 mm) eye bolts into
the tapped holes in the cap.
5. Remove each Crosshead Stub (Item #31) by unscrewing it from crosshead. A moderate
amount of resistance will be experienced when unscrewing the stub because a medium
strength anaerobic adhesive is used on the threads during assembly to minimize the
chance of this joint loosening during operation.
7. Disconnect the Connecting Rods (Item #21) from the Crankshaft (Item #26) by
removing the connecting rod bolts, caps and rod bearings. Push each rod and crosshead
assembly as far as possible toward the fluid end. Keep each bearing with each cap, if
the bearings are in good condition, so they can be assembled in the same position. Match
the set numbers (1,2,3, etc.) stamped on the rods and caps when assembling.
8. Remove both Crankshaft Bearing Retainers (Items #2 & #23), keeping Shims (Item #3)
with retainers for assembly. The crankshaft may now be removed from either side by
tapping gently with a wooden block (Figure 8-36). Two (2) each l" (25.4 mm) rods,
each threaded on one (1) end, may be screwed into the ends of the crankshaft to
facilitate removal (Figure 8-37).
V'\1000
13.LOC. K
9. The Connecting Rod (Item #21) and crosshead assemblies may now be removed (Figure
8-38). If the crosshead assembly is in good condition, it must be assembled in the same
location.
10. The Bushing Wrist Pins (Item #29) are held in position in the crosshead assemblies with
set screws (Figure 8-39). Remove the set screws and push the wrist pins out of the
rods.
The two (2) main bearings are tapered roller type bearings. The Outer Crankshaft Roller
Bearing Races (cup-shaped) are a slip fit in the power frame. The Crankshaft Roller
Bearings (cone-shaped) are an interference fit on the crankshaft. (Refer to the assembly
drawings of the Power End in Section 9: PARTS). New main bearings must be replaced as a
unit: a new race with a new tapered bearing.
11. Remove the Outer Crankshaft Roller Bearing Races (Item #4) from the power frame by
tapping the races with a wood block and a soft-faced hammer.
12. Remove the Crankshaft Roller Bearings (Item #5) from the crankshaft by puller, press
or torch. If a torch is to be used, care must be exercised not to damage the crankshaft by
overheating.
13. Heat the new main bearing assembly as a unit to a temperature that is no hotter than
300° F (150 ° C). Slip the hot parts into position to install on the crankshaft.
Removal & Replacement of Connecting Rod Bearings and Wrist Pin Bushings:
The connecting rod and the matching cap assembly are bolted together and clamp the
connecting rod bearings into position around the crankshaft (Figure 8-40).
The connecting rod bearings are made in two (2) halves and are a matched set. The bearings
are steel with a layer of babbitt on the surface. Each bearing piece has a small
wedge-shaped alignment tab that fits into the groove on the rod or cap.
The Wrist Pin Bushing is made of bronze. A hole in the middle of the bushing allows oil to
flow into the hole in the connecting rod. The wrist pin bushing is pressed into the small end
of the connecting rod and is held in place by a set screw.
Oil Passage
14. Remove the Connecting Rod Bearings (Item #22) from each rod and cap. If the
bearings are snug or pinched, use a soft-faced hammer and a wood block to tap the
bearing loose. Drive in the direction of the groove in the rod so that the surfaces are not
damaged. Stubborn parts may need to be oiled or heated slightly to help break them
free. Keep the matched sets together with the same rod assemblies if you intend to use
them again.
15. Remove the Set Screw (Item #30) from the end of the Wrist Pin (Item #32). Use a
suitable arbor to press out the wrist pin bushing from the small end of the connecting
rod. Do not damage the inside surface of the rod.
16. Clean the connecting rod surface and inspect for scratches or burrs where the new wrist
pin bushing will be positioned. Wipe the parts clean with lint-free rags. Use a suitable
arbor to press the new bronze wrist pin bushing into place so that it extends 1/8" (3.2
mm) beyond each side of the rod. After the bushings are pressed into the rods, ream the
bushings to 2.3765 to 2.377" (60.363 to 60.376 mm).
17. Clean the connecting rod and bearing surfaces before installation. Insert the new
bearings as a set into a matching rod and cap assembly. The wedge-shaped tab on the
bearing babbitt surface will fit one way only into correct position in the rod or cap
groove. Do not mix the halves or interchange with different bearings.
18. When the bearings are correctly inserted, position the rod and cap around the crankshaft
to install. Lubricate the connecting rod internal bolt threads and fasten the rod to the cap
with Connecting Rod Cap Bolt Lock Washers (Item #20) and Connecting Rod Cap Bolts
(Item #19). Torque the cap rod bolts to 40 lb.-ft. (54 Nm).
When the pump is built, the crankshaft end play is set at 0.001 to 0.005" (0.03 to 0.12 mm).
Only when replacing a crankshaft or a main bearing does this end play need to be reset to
these limits.
Measure end play by mounting a dial indicator on the power frame and placing the indicator
button on any vertical surface of the crankshaft. Pry the crankshaft to one side (Figure
8-41), and then to the other, noting the total travel of the dial indicator. To change end play,
add or remove shims at the crankshaft frame caps.
When shimming is complete, connecting rods and pin bearings should be positioned near
center of crosshead opening (Figure 8-42). If any pin bearing rubs on the inside of any
crosshead, transfer shims from one side of the pump to the other side to shift the crankshaft.

will operate satisfactorily with wear up to about .050" (1.27 mm).
Note:
The repair procedure assumes that the bypass-relief valve is already removed from
the high pressure water jetting unit.
Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
Because of the precise machining and stringent metallurgical specifications required for safe

4. Unscrew the Cap Nut (Item #8) from the Body (Item #1 ).
5. Unscrew the Body (Item #1) from the Seat Frame (Item #4) (Figure 8-46).
6. Invert the Body (Item #1) and dump all internal parts into a drain pan (oil will drain
from the upper portion of the body). If desired, a 1/4-20 cap screw can be threaded into
the Spring Guide (Item #5) to assist in extracting the stack of Disc Springs (Item #11)
from the Body (Item #1) (Figure 8-47).
7. Stand the Body (Item #1) in an upright position on a clean workbench. Use a clean
metal rod about 24" long and 1/2" or smaller in diameter to push the Pin (Item #2) and
the Seat (Item #3) out of the body (oil will drain from the cavity) (Figure 8-48).
ASSEMBLY:
8. Carefully wash all parts with mineral spirits. Wipe dry with lint-free towels.
9. If the bore in the Body (Item #1) is rough, smooth it with emery cloth.
10. If the Pin (Item #2) and the Seat (Item #3) are worn, either lap the two (2) parts together
with 600 grit lapping compound, or reverse each part end-for-end. If you are reversing
the Pin (Item #2), polish any water deposits from the pin so that it will not bind in the
bores of the Body (Item #1 ), and move the Deflector (Item #17) to the opposite end of
the pin (Figure 8-49). If the Deflector (Item #17) is significantly worn by water
impingement, then replace it. Look for Deflector wear out after 100 hours of operation
with continuous throttling at 25 gpm (94.5 lpm).
Caution:
Failure to replace a worn Deflector (Item #17) will result in damage
to the Body (Item #1).
11. Apply blue LOCTITE® to the threads of the Set Screw (Item #18) before installing the
Deflector (Item #17).
12. Install a new 0-ring (Item #14) and both Backup 0-rings (Item #13) on the Pin (Item
#2) (Figure 8-50). Coat the 0-rings with Dexron® automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
13. Slide the Pin (Item #2) into the Body (Item #1) until it bottoms (Figure 8-51).

Pump Description:
The Model L-55i Lubricator Pump is an improved version of the previous Lincoln Model
55i Lubricator Pump. Pump performance and serviceability have been improved. The pump
has been simplified and the number of parts have been reduced. The number of seals have
been reduced by creating a unit pump body and sight glass, thus reducing the number of
service parts and possible leak problems.
Pump Operation:
The pump is operated by a rotating cam against the pump rocker arm, causing the pump's
plunger to reciprocate within its bore in the pump body.
The pump output is set by the adjusting sleeve on the top of the pump body. The sleeve
limits the stroke length of the pump plunger thus limiting the pump output. Full pump
output may be obtained when the adjusting sleeve is fully extended out of the top of the
plunger stroke.
Maximium recommended oil viscosity is 8000 SUS.
Suction Stroke:
As the plunger moves downward, oil is drawn through the suction check and into the plunger
bore from the small reservoir in the sight glass. Reducing the volume of oil in the sight glass
creates a vacuum which draws oil from the lubricator reservoir, through the suction tube and
into the outside passage in the sight glass. The oil will enter the dropper and drip into the
sight glass reservoir, replacing the oil removed by the suction stroke. The quantity of oil
delivered may be determined by counting the drops of oil falling out of the dropper.
Discharge Stroke:
As the plunger moves upward, oil is forced from the plunger bore through the outlet checks
and into the lubrication feedline. The suction check prevents any backflow of oil into the
sight glass assembly and allows any oil that may bypass the plunger to be returned to the
sight glass area through a return passage.
Starting Instruction:
1. Remove the dropper from the sight glass and fill approximately 1/3 full with oil.
2. Manually operate the pump with priming stem until the oil flows from the pump outlet
without air bubbles.
3. Connect the feedline to the pump outlet union and manually operate the pump with the
priming stem until the feedline is filled.
4. Connect the feedline to the lubrication point. A feedline check valve at the lubrication
point is recommended and is available as an accessory item.
5. Refill the sight glass to the 1/3 full level with SAE 15W40 oil.
6. Refill the lubricator reservoir and adjust the pump output.
Sight Glass:
The sight glass gives a visual indication of the condition of the oil flowing through the
lubrication pump.
An increasing oil level indicates absorption of air in the sight glass by the oil passing
through. Over fill eliminates visual metering of drops in the sight glass but has no effect on
pump operation.
Airlock:
Airlocking occurs when air, instead of oil, enters the plunger bore and cannot be compressed
to a high enough pressure to be forced out of the pump against the feed line back pressure.
Airlocking is caused either by entrained air being separated from oil by the vacuum in the
sight glass, or by air entering the pump when the oil level in the lubricator reservoir is lower
than the suction tube inlet. Severely agitated oils, such as oil supplied from the crankcase,
will usually contain entrained air. An airlock can be easily detected since, when it occurs, no
oil will be visible in the sight glass. If entrained air is found to be a problem, either a
pressurized pump supply or a settling tank should be utilized.
An airlock can be eliminated by refilling the lubricator reservoir and sight glass, loosening
the outlet union at the pump outlet, and manually operating the pump with the priming stem
until no air bubbles appear at the pump outlet. The airlock may reoccur if the cause is not
found and eliminated.
Over Fill:
Over filling is caused by the oil absorbing the air in the sight glass as it passes through the
pump.
This condition does not affect the operation of the pump except that the oil cannot be
observed coming out of the dropper due to the sight glass being filled with oil.
Normal sight glass operation can be restored by momentarily loosing the dropper at the top
of the sight glass to break the vacuum within the sight glass. Do not leave the sight glass
dropper open for very long as this will allow all the oil in the sight glass to drain out and
possibly cause an air lock condition.
2. Operate the flushing button by hand until all air is purged from the pump.
3. The hand flushing unit also serves as feed adjustment and indicates plunger stroke.
4. Should the pump unit become inoperative, it is recommended that clean mineral spirits
be used, hand flushing while suction tube is submerged. Continued flow of bubbles
indicates a leakage at the sight glass. Damaged seating surface either on the glass itself,
or the glass seating area can be responsible for air leakage.
5. Strainers should not be removed from the filler spout. Cleaning of the reservoir should
be done periodically (Section 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - Suggested
Component Cleaning Schedule for procedure). Remember that sludge formation due to
condensation is harmful to the lubricator as well as the equipment being lubricated.
6. Sight feed glass is equipped with quick sealing plug which can be removed to break the
vacuum in the glass and allow excess oil accumulation to be carried away. Removing
this plug momentarily and observing that the oil stream in the two (2) small drilled
channels drops out of sight is sufficient. Replace plug. Repeat this procedure as often
as necessary; however, do not allow sight glass to remain open for any extended period
of time, otherwise air will enter the system and could possibly cause an air lock.

Note:
Refer to Section 9: PARTS for breakdowns and parts lists for the following
procedures:
WARNING:
BLEED DOWN ALL HIGH PRESSURE LINES. PUT A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG
ON THE CONTROLS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Remove guard bolts with 9/16" socket and ratchet and, with the assistance of another
person, or chain hoist, remove guard from unit.
3. Do not drive sheaves on or off shafts. Be sure shaft and keyway are correct size.
Remove burrs by pressing lightly with a finishing file. Wipe shaft, key and bore clean
with a light oil. Tighten screws carefully. Recheck and retighten after eight (8) hours of
operation.
4. Belts should never be forced over sheaves. More belts are broken from this practice
than from actual failure in service.
5. Belt tension should be reasonable. When in operation, the tight side of the belt should
be in a straight line from sheave to sheave with a slight bow on the slack side.
Insufficient tension can cause rapid belt wear and failure. Check belt tension weekly or
after 40 hours of operation with Special Tool (PM12969 Belt Tensioning Gauge) (Figure
8-87).

6. Tension the V-belt until readings are obtained as shown on V-BELT TENSIONING
VALUES TABLE 8-B.
7. Do not install a new belt where the sheaves have worn or damaged grooves. Worn
sheaves should be replaced with new ones to insure a proper fit of the belt in the
grooves, thus eliminating the possibility of premature belt failure.
8. Keep belts clean. Use no belt dressing. If belts slip, clean with cloth dampened with
alcohol and readjust belt tension.
10. Keep extra belts stored in a cool, dark and dry place.

in damaged condition but with shipping container intact, the customer should make a
"CONCEALED DAMAGE REPORT" to the carrier within three business days of the
delivery. All claims will be made by the customer to the common carrier. Whenever
possible, NLB Corp. will be glad to render the customer all possible assistance to secure
satisfactory adjustment of damage claims.
Customers returning parts to NLB for any reason must obtain a Return Authorization (RA)
Number. Each RA Number issued by NLB Customer Service is unique and is used to track
