SAFETY
Danger Zones
General Warning Label
Pay particular attention to these items.
Crimping Hose Assembly Label
When crimping a hose assembly, hold the hose far enough away to avoid any pinch or crush zones.
No Hands Label
Do not put your hands in these areas while the motor is running.
RY20/RY32
1. The Installation site for the machine must provide an adequate clear work area around the crimper.
2. A clear area must be provided along the base dimensions of the machine that’s essential to permit efficient
maintenance and assembly.
3. Refer the Technical Data section for space requirements.
To maintain stability, leveled mounting pads should be used under the four fixing points at the base of the machine.
Machine Installation
Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn during hose making and maintenance activities.
•
This equipment should only be used by qualified, trained persons who are familiar with this equipment.
•
To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away from crimper and workpiece during operation.
•
Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury. The crimper is designed
for a max. pressure of 275 bar (4,000 psi).
•
Never Set the relief valve pressure above 300 bar (4,350 psi). Serious personal injury could result if this maximum limit is
exceeded. Damage to crimper pump and components may also occur.
•
Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive heat will soften packings and seals, resulting in fluid leaks.
Heat also weakens hose materials and packaging. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to a Temperature of
50°C (122°F) or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
Safety Notes
Hose Assembly
Should a hydraulic hose rupture, burst or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and shift the control valve
to release all pressure.
•
Never grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands.
•
Always keep the hose away from fire, sharp surfaces, heavy impact and extreme heat or cold. Never kink, twist, curl or
bend the hose so tightly that the oil flow within will be blocked or reduced.
•
Always inspect the hose for wear periodically, as any of these conditions can damage the hose and possibly result in
personal injury.
•
Hose material and coupling seal must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
•
Hose must not come in contact with corrosive materials.
•
Never paint a coupling, hose will deteriorate due to toxic materials.
•
Never use the hose to move attached crimper. Stress can damage the hose and may cause personal injury.
