2.3 Hydraulic Jack Specific Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, serious personal injury or death;
DO NOT
work under or near a load supported only by hydraulic means. A hydraulic jack, when used
as a lifting device, should not be used as a load-holding device. Once lifted, all loads should be
supported using rigid mechanical structures.
ALWAYS
raise the piston to the load.
DO NOT
drop loads onto the jack.
NEVER
exceed the maximum rated capacity of any hydraulic jack and
DO NOT
attempt to lift a load
greater than the jack’s stated maximum capacity.
Overloading hydraulic jacks can result in component failure and possible serious personal injury.
ALWAYS
place hydraulic jacks on a flat, even surface that supports the entire base plug (6) and
can support the load to be applied.
Where applicable, use an additional support base to assist in supporting the load to be lifted.
Avoid lifting loads that are not central to the lifting piston. Avoid offset loading as this can damage
the cylinder bores and piston rods, and also lead to unstable load lifting.
DO NOT
weld any items to the jack or modify it in any way from its delivered condition. Your warranty
may be invalidated, and it could lead to serious personal injury.
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, equipment damage or minor/moderate personal
injury;
To protect your warranty, only use hydraulic oil grades as specified in the oil table in
Section 8.1
.
Make sure there is sufficient spare lifting capacity and stroke when selecting Jack/s for any
application.
Ensure hydraulic jacks are used only under environmental conditions that are suitable for their use.
The jacks proper functioning cannot be guaranteed under adverse conditions, and a shortened
product lifespan can result.
