1.0 RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
Important! Make sure to inspect all of the components for shipping damage. If damage is found, notify carrier at once. Shipping damage will not
be covered by warranty. The carrier is responsible for all loss associated with shipping damage.
2.0 SAFETY
Make sure to read the instructions, warnings and precautions carefully. Follow all recommended safety precautions to avoid personal injury or
damage to the unit. Simplex cannot be responsible for any damage or injury from unsafe use, lack of maintenance, or incorrect operation. In the
event any questions or concerns arise, contact SIMPLEX or a local SIMPLEX Distributor for clarification.
The pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2). Make sure that all hydraulic equipment such as rams, hoses, etc. used with
this pump are rated at 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2) operating pressure.
If you have never been trained on high-pressure hydraulic safety, consult your distributor or service center for a free Simplex Hydraulic Safety
Course. Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage, property damage, or personal injury.
DANGER: is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even death.
WARNING: indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
CAUTION: is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to prevent damage to, or destruction
of equipment, or other property.
WARNING
: Wear proper personal protective gear when operating hydraulic equipment.
WARNING
: The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the system.
Install pressure gauges in the system to monitor operating pressure. Gauges help the user see what is happening with the
hydraulic pressure in the system.
WARNING
: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent or kinked hose will
cause severe back-pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose, leading to premature hose failure. Do not drop
heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying pressure to a damaged hose may
cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT
: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hose or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or other means of safe transport.
CAUTION
: Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive heat will soften seals, resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also
weakens hose materials. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to temperatures of 65° C (170° F) or higher.
Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
WARNING
: Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If oil is injected
under the skin, see a doctor immediately. Untreated oil injection could be fatal, but normally just causes severe injury.
