ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The correct union of a pump to a cylinder via a hydraulic hose constitutes a machine
designed for lifting, pulling, folding and retaining operations, etc., that, due to its
high thrust capacity requires safe use in order to avoid accident risk.
Read the instruction manual carefully and practise using the equipment before
application.
Choose the most suitable model for the application from the wide range available,
and make sure that it will not exceed 80% of its nominal capacity and stroke during
normal operation.
Use protective goggles for eye protection.
Use safety shoes for feet protection.
Use protective gloves for hand protection.
Do not modify the device (welded parts, lengthening drive levers, etc.).
Do not use the hoses for transporting the device. Use the handles on the cylinders
(when appropriate) and set the pump lever to the transport position.
When filling the pump with oil, use always Larzep hydraulic oil. Fill only to the
indicated level and remember that the cylinder piston should be retracted.
Before using a pump from other manufacturer, contact LARZEP’s Technical
Department. Otherwise, LARZEP will not be liable for any damage that may arise.
Before starting operation, check that the installation is correct, the operator
position is safe and the working zone is out of bounds to all personnel.
In all cases, the operator should have received adequate training regarding the
handling of the device and logical safety criteria associated with the movement of
heavy loads.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder. Ensure that all the
equipment and accessories are suitable for the maximum working pressure.
