• Never leave the system unattended when under
pressure. When the system is under pressure DO
NOT STAND IN LINE with the direction of force of
the tool. This is a danger area. Always keep this
area clear of personnel when the system is under
pressure.
• Site pump on a secure, flat, level surface. Rope off
working area and place warning signs.
• Do not tamper with air pressure relief safety valve
on pump.
• Check the date of the calibration certification. If the
recalibration date has passed, the gauge must be
recalibrated.
• If air supply is interrupted, turn off air stop valve
on pump.
• Maximum allowable pressure for the SWi20/25TEEX
tool is 10,000 psi [700 bar]. Do not exceed this
pressure setting.
• Never strike the tool while it is pressurized or under
load. Components under the tool may become
dislodged, allowing them to become dangerous
projectiles. Uncontrolled release of pressurized
hydraulic oil could also occur.
• Use only a high-quality non-flammable solvent
for cleaning and degreasing parts during wrench
repair procedures. To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion, do not use flammable solvents.
• It is advised that a pressure gauge(s) is installed in
the system when using the SWi20/25TEEX tool to
monitor operating pressure, to allow the operator
to monitor what is happening in the system.
• Care should be taken when using the lanyard to
avoid entanglement with body parts.
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in minor or moderate
personal injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Ensure components are protected from external
sources of damage, such as excessive heat, flame,
moving machine parts, sharp edges, and corrosive
chemicals.
• Take care to avoid sharp bends and kinks in
hydraulic hoses. Bends and kinks can cause
severe back-up pressure and cause hose failure.
Protect hoses from dropped objects; a sharp
impact may cause internal damage to hose wire
strands. Protect hoses from crush risks, such
as heavy objects or vehicles; crush damage can
cause hose failure.
• Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses
or couplers. Use only the designated carrying
handles.
CAUTION
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and
heat. Excessive heat will soften packings and
seals, resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens
hose materials and packings.
• Lubricate SWi-tools as directed in this manual
prior to operation. Use only approved lubricants of
high quality, following the lubricant manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Only use the designated anchor point for fixing the
lanyard. Do not attach the lanyard to the plastic
handle.
• Electric charges could be caused by fast air
movement while case remains open. Keep case
closed during work.
• Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a
qualified hydraulic technician. For repair service,
contact the Equalizer Authorized Service Centre in
your area.
• It is strongly recommended that operators always
use Equalizer pumps and hoses.
• Always use Equalizer replacement parts.
• Always follow the inspection and maintenance
instructions contained in this manual. Perform
inspection and maintenance after use, and at
regular intervals.
• Rope off working area and place warning signs.
• To help ensure proper operation and best
performance, use of Equalizer oil is strongly
recommended
