SECURITY
Hose
Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do not overtighten; connections
need only be secure and leak-free. Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to
split at presssures lower their rated capacities.
Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediatly shut the pump OFF, and
open the control valve to release all presure. NEVER grasp a leaking, pressurized hose with your hands; the
force of escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
Do not subject the hose to any potential hazard such as fire, extreme cold or heat, sharp surfaces, or heavy
impact. Do not allow the hose to move attached equipement. Periodically inspect the hose for wear, because
any of these conditions can damage the hose and result in personal injury.
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not come
in contact with corrisive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Never paint couplers
and/or hoses. Hose deterioration due to corrsive material can result in personal injury.
Pump
Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the pump or tamper with the internal high pressure relief valve. Creating
pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in personal injury.
Completly retract the ram before opening the filler screw on the pump to add hydraulic fluid.
An overfill can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when rams are retracted.
Ram
Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the ram. Creating pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in
personal injury.
Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a ram. The load may tip and cause personal injury.
The use of extension tubes or off-center attachments greatly reduces the capacity of the hydraulic system. When
using extension tubes, put the shortest tubes on the ends of the setup; never put the shortest tubes in the middle of
the setup.
Some components in this set do not match the maximum pressure rating of the pump and ram. Use a pressure
gauge in the system to monitor hydraulic pressure.
