WARNING:
Applying pressure to a damaged
hose may cause it to rupture.
WARNING:
Immediately replace worn or
damaged parts with genuine Equalizer parts.
Equalizer parts are designed to fit properly and
withstand rated loads. For repair or maintenance
service contact your Equalizer distributor or
service centre.
WARNING:
Periodic inspections and maintenance
of ATEX certified equipment are essential in order
to comply with legal requirements and avoid
unsafe operation.
WARNING:
Repairs and reconditioning of these
tools may only be carried out by Equalizer or an
approved distributor or service centre.
DANGER:
To avoid personal injury keep hands
and feet away from the tool and workpiece during
operation.
WARNING:
Always wear suitable clothing and
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
DANGER:
Do not handle pressurised hoses.
Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury. If oil is injected under
the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING:
Never pressurize unconnected
couplers. Only use hydraulic equipment in a
connected system.
IMPORTANT:
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by
the hoses or couplers. Use the carrying handle or
other means of safe transport.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the equipment without
lubricating all moving parts. Use only high pressure
molybdenum disulphide grease.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tools as directed in this
manual prior to operation. Use only approved
lubricants of high quality, following the lubricant
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
Electric charges could be caused by
fast air movement while case remains open. Keep
case closed during work

HAZARDS
IMPORTANT:
Operator must be competent in
the use of hydraulic equipment. The operator
must have read and understood all instructions,
safety issues, cautions and warnings before
starting to operate the Equalizer equipment.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury and possible
equipment damage, make sure all hydraulic
components are rated to a safe working pressure
of 700 bar (10,000 psi)
WARNING:
Do not overload equipment.
Overloading causes equipment failure and possible
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure that all system components
are protected from external sources of damage,
such as excessive heat, flame, moving machine
parts, sharp edges and corrosive chemicals.
CAUTION:
Avoid sharp bends and kinks that will
cause severe back-up pressure in hoses. Bends
and kinks lead to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects onto hoses. A sharp
impact may cause internal damage to hose wire
strands; applying pressure to a damaged hose
may cause it to rupture. Do not place heavy
weights on the hoses, or allow vehicles to roll over
the hoses; crush damage will lead to premature
hose failure.
