Equipment Safety
Pipe Handling Safety
Do not position yourself under supported
or raised pipe or near the end of the pipe.
Pipe could travel uncontrolled on the rollers
in either direction and cause serious injury
or death.
In order to minimize the potential for the pipe to travel
uncontrolled, keep the pipe level when it is placed on the
rollers of the fusion machine and on the rollers of the pipe
stand(s). Hold pipe securely by either clamping in the fusion
machine jaws or by other means.
NOTICE:
Do not leave stand unattended while HPU is
running. When not operating the pipe stand, turn off the
HPU to prevent accidental or unintentional movement of the
stand.
IMPORTANT:
Engine does not need to be running to hold
load. However, do not leave raised pipe unattended as the
hydraulic pressure may bleed off over time and lower the
load.

Units With Hydraulics
It is important to remember that a sudden hydraulic oil leak
can cause serious injury, or even be fatal if the pressure or oil
temperature 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.
Unwanted movement of the machine could result
in serious injury or damage to machine.
Unwanted
movement of the machine may take place if switches
do not match machine state when the machine power
is turned on.
NOTICE
: Wear safety glasses, and keep face clear of area when
bleeding air from hydraulic system to avoid spraying oil into eyes.
