Consult the appropriate puller unit manual for safety precautions before installing a puller unit onto a PowerPak.
When used in accordance with these instructions, the FT-20 is safe and easy to use. All general safety precautions
associated with hydraulic and pneumatically operated power tools should be observed. Many of these are noted in
this section. Ultimately, the operator is responsible for personal safety; however, the following general safety
precautions should be observed. Also see Figure 2.0-1.
CAUTION: Set the FT-20 PowerPak on a level surface. If the surface is out of plane, there is a risk of the
FT-20 PowerPak unit vibrating off the surface.
Read manual before using
Always wear eye protection

Safety Stickers
1. Wear eye and ear protection when operating the FT-20.
2. Disconnect the air supply when:
•
Maintenance is to be performed.
•
Hydraulic hose is disconnected.
•
PowerPak is not in use.
3. In the event of a ruptured or leaking hydraulic hose, IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE TRIGGER AND
DISCONNECT THE AIR LINE from the PowerPak at the air input. Never use your hands to grasp a leaking
hose under pressure. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious injury.
4. DO NOT attempt to disconnect the hydraulic hose while the pump is running.
5. DO NOT expose hoses to potential hazards, such as extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, heavy impact, or
vehicular traffic.
6. DO NOT allow hoses to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that the oil flow within the hose is blocked or
reduced.
7. Periodically inspect the hose for wear or damage which could cause premature failure of the hose and possibly
result in injury.
8. Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
