• Never attempt to connect or disconnect
hoses while the pump is on and/or the
system is pressurized.
• Be certain that all hose couplings
are fully connected at both the pump
and wrench ends before applying any
hydraulic pressure. If the couplings
are not fully connected, oil flow will
be blocked, and the wrench could
be subjected to excessive hydraulic
pressures. Catastrophic failure of wrench
could result.
• Never apply more hydraulic pressure
to any tool, hose, fitting or accessory
than the maximum allowable pressure
as stated in the manufacturer’s
specifications. The system operating
pressure must not exceed the pressure
rating of the lowest rated component in
the system.
• Be sure the operator has completed
safety induction training, specific to the
work surroundings. The operator should
be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the tool.
• The operator must be of at least the
minimum age required by applicable
local regulations, laws and the facility
standard operating procedures.
• Do not abuse or overstress the hoses
in any way. Do not bend the hoses
excessively.
• Take every precaution to prevent oil
leaks from occurring. High pressure oil
leaks can penetrate the skin, resulting in
serious injury.
• Never strike the tool while it is
pressurized or under load. Components
under tension may become dislodged,
allowing them to become dangerous
projectiles. Uncontrolled release of
pressurized hydraulic oil could also
occur.
• Avoid striking the tool at any time, even
when it is not pressurized or under load.
Striking the tool could cause permanent
damage to wrench components and may
affect the wrench calibration.
• Use only a high quality nonflammable
solvent for cleaning and degreasing
parts during wrench repair procedures.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do
not use flammable solvents.
• Be sure to wear proper eye and hand
protection when using solvent. Always
follow the solvent manufacturer's safety
and use instructions and any additional
instructions included in the standard
operating procedures for your worksite.
Be certain there is adequate ventilation
when using solvent.
CAUTION
Failure to observe and comply with
the following precautions could result
in minor or moderate personal injury.
Property damage could also occur.
• Always carry the wrench by its housing.
Never carry the wrench using the
positioning handle. The handle could
break and the wrench could drop
suddenly. The positioning handle is
designed only as an aid to help position
the wrench on the bolt or nut.
• Be sure that backup wrench (on the
opposite end of nut or bolt being
tightened or loosened) is secured so
it cannot drop or become disengaged
during bolting procedures.
• Be sure that the hex socket size
corresponds to the size of the fastener
being loosened or tightened. Failure to
observe this precaution can result in the
wrench becoming unstable and can lead
to catastrophic failure of the tool.
