Preventive maintenance
Echion Operator Manual 810770 55
Benefits of preventive maintenance
Hypertherm recommends preventive and scheduled maintenance for Echion pumps. High-quality
equipment that is maintained on a schedule lasts longer than equipment that is not maintained
regularly. This maintenance includes adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, repairs, and replacement of
parts.
Improves reliability
Finds possible problems before they cause unplanned downtime and become expensive
repairs
Extends the life of equipment and decreases the frequency of replacement
Contributes positively to reputation and profits
Gives traceability through records
Training
The employer must provide training for maintenance procedures. Retrain personnel when:
there is a change in job assignment, machinery, or procedures that can present a new
danger.
energy-control procedures change.
there is reason to believe there is a deficiency in a person’s knowledge of the energy-control
procedure.
