General Instructions
Scope
This safety guide provides instructions for selecting and using (including assembling, installing, and maintaining)
these products. For convenience, the assembly tool including the hydraulic cylinder is called the “tool”. The assembly
made with hose and crimped on connectors is called the “Hose Assembly”. All products commonly called “fittings”
or “couplings” are called “connectors”. All jaw inserts are called “inserts”. All related accessories are called “Related
Accessories”. The complete assembly tool including but not limited to connectors and hose assembly is called the
“tool assembly”. The system used to generate the hydraulic power for the tool assembly is called “the pump”.
Fail-Safe
Hose Assemblies and related connectors can and do fail without warning for many reasons. Design all systems and
equipment in a fail-safe mode, so that failure of the Hose Assembly or Connector will not endanger persons or property.
Parker provides a hose guard to protect the operator against hose burst. The hose connections are connected to the
tool and pump with the use of a protective sleeve to avoid hose fitting disconnection. Detailed information is given in
the Tool Assembly Section of this document.
Distribution
Provide a copy of this safety guide to each person that is responsible for selecting or using any aspect of the tool
assembly. Do not select or use the tool assembly without thoroughly reading and understanding this installation
manual.

analysis and testing, is solely responsible for:
• Assuring the requirements are met and the application presents no health or safety hazards.
