Units With Hydraulics
Although the hydraulic pressures in this machine are low compared to
some hydraulically operated equipment, it is important to remember
that a sudden hydraulic oil leak can cause serious injury, or even be
fatal if the pressure is high enough.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Keep hands and body
away from pinholes which eject fluid under pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for
leaks. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
immediately removed by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury.
NOTICE:
Wear safety glasses, and keep face clear of area when
bleeding air from hydraulic system to avoid spraying oil into eyes.

Pipe Handling Safety
Do not position yourself under supported or
raised pipe. Pipe is heavy and could result in
serious injury or death.
Pipe that is bent can store a great amount of
energy. Do not bend and force the pipe into the
machine. A bent pipe with stored energy could
cause serious injury or death when that energy is
released.
It is recommended that the pipe is always be held securely by
either being clamped securely in the fusion machine jaws or
attached to the lifting device.
Keep persons that are not involved in handling pipe away from handling operations. When the pipe and
handling equipment are in motion, all persons involved in handling pipe should be able to see all other persons
at all times. If any handling person is not in sight, immediately stop moving equipment and pipe and locate that
person. Do not continue until all persons are accounted for and in sight.
NOTICE:
Do not leave machine unattended while the Power Pack is running. When not operating the machine,
turn off the Power Pack. This will prevent accidental or unintentional movement of the machine.
Never push, roll, dump or drop pipe lengths, bundles or coils off the truck, off handling equipment or into a
trench. Always use appropriate equipment to lift, move and lower the pipe.
