Inspect hoses regularly for damage and wear.
NEVER
use hoses that are frayed, kinked, abraded or leaking.
NEVER
handle a pressurised hydraulic hose. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a
ruptured hose can penetrate the skin and lead to a significant medical emergency, and in some
cases, death. Should this incident occur, seek out medical attention immediately.
Seek medical attention immediately if a hydraulic injection injury (no matter how minor) occurs.
The system operating pressure
MUST NOT
exceed the pressure rating of the lowest-rated
component in the system.
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 unconnected male coupler/s.
NEVER
attempt to disconnect a hose from a hydraulic system until the system's 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.
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.
NEVER
attempt to solve, or clean-up leaks in the system while the system is pressurised.
Immediately replace any worn or damaged parts using genuine Hi-Force parts only.
DO NOT
use any hydraulic equipment if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Lack of attention whilst operating high-pressure hydraulic tools can result in personal injury or death.
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, equipment damage or minor / moderate personal
injury;
NEVER
lift, carry or move any hydraulic components by the hose or hoses connected to them.
