HOSES AND FITTINGS
There exists the potential for shock in using anything other than
certified nonconductive hoses and hydraulic oil with dielectric
properties, when using system components near energized
electrical lines. Failure to recognize these conditions could
cause electrocution.
Hoses and fittings used with this tool must comply with S.A.E. J1273
which
covers recommended practice for selection, installation, and maintenance of hose and
hose assemblies. The
correct hoses and
fi
ttings are available from your supplier.
WARNING:
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in severe bodily injury.
WARNING
UNIT/HOSE CONNECTIONS
ALWAYS DISCONNECT
pump/power source and move toggle
switch to
OFF
before connecting or disconnecting any components.
ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE
hydraulic system, before slowly
disconnecting this unit or any of the systems components.
ALWAYS TIGHTEN
couplings completely. Loose or improperly
tightened couplings will not allow fluid to pass through the
hose creating a blockage in the supply or return line.
ALWAYS INSPECT HOSES AND CONNECTORS
before connection
to tool. Replace or repair if any leakage is evident. Leakage is a sign
of deterioration in component parts. Worn or leaking parts must be
repaired or replaced, or tool damage or severe injury could result.
WARNING
WARNING
OIL INJECTION INJURY
Hydraulic oil or fluid under the skin is a serious injury. Oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin and may cause dismemberment
or loss of life. Seek medical assistance immediately if such an
injury should occur.
Always wear safety gloves, eye protection and all required
safety equipment when operating or handling this tool.
DO NOT
use fingers or hands to attempt to locate a leak.
DO NOT
handle hoses or couplers while system is pressurized.
NEVER
open or service the system before depressurizing.
