•
Only use hydraulic cylinders in a complete and tested, coupled system.
NEVER
attempt to use a
cylinder that is not correctly coupled to its operational pump.
NEVER
pressurise an uncoupled
coupler/s.
•
NEVER
attempt to disconnect a hose from a hydraulic system until the systems pressure has been
completely released. Doing so can result in that pressure becoming trapped within the system and
relieving trapped pressure can be dangerous.
•
NEVER
try to relieve trapped hydraulic pressure in the system by loosening or attempting to remove
the coupler. Trapped hydraulic pressure can cause a loosened coupler to dislodge unexpectedly
with great force. This action could result in serious personal injury or death, as the coupler could
become a projectile and hit operatives in the working area.
•
Loosening a coupler under pressure can result in the escape of hydraulic oil at high pressure, which
can penetrate the skin and cause significant injury or death.
•
NEVER
use a hammer and punch to unseat a coupler check valve that is under pressure. Doing so
could result in the sudden, uncontrolled release of hydraulic oil at high pressure, which could cause
significant injury or death.
•
Immediately replace any worn or damaged parts using genuine Hi-Force parts only.
•
DO NOT
remove any labels from the product. Replace any damaged or unreadable label
immediately.
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, equipment damage or minor/moderate personal
injury;
•
NEVER
lift or carry any hydraulic components by the hose or hoses connected to them.
•
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose.
ALWAYS
route hoses to ensure that they are free from sharp bends
and kinks. Using a bent or kinked hose will result in severe back-pressure, which can lead to hose
failure.
•
ALWAYS
operate the system under no-load conditions before the actual operation, to ensure there
is no air trapped in the hydraulic circuit.
•
Servicing of hydraulic equipment must only be undertaken by a qualified technician.
•
DO NOT
drop or place heavy objects on a hydraulic hose, as this may cause
internal damage, which could result in rupture of the pressurised hose. A
ruptured hose could cause significant damage to components and possible
severe injury to personal operating nearby.
