SAFETY
Working Pressure:
The pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI [700 kg/cm ]. Make sure that all hydraulic
equipment such as wrench, hoses, etc. used with this pump are rated at 10,000 PSI operating pressure.
Hydraulic Connections:
Never disconnect or connect any hydraulic hoses or fitting without first unloading the wrench, than unplug
the electrical cord of the pump. Double check the gauge to assure pressure has been released.
When making connections with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged.
Threaded connections such as fittings, gauges, etc. must be securely tightened and leak free.
!! CAUTION !!
Loose or improperly threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized,
however, severe over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need to be tightened secure &
leak free. Never hold or stand directly in line with any hydraulic connections while pressurizing. Never
grab, touch or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil can penetrate
the skin and a serious injury can result.
Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as sharp surfaces, extreme heat or heavy impact.
Do not allow the hose to kink & twist. Inspect each hose for wear before it is used.
Electrical Power:
1. Check for proper electrical supply before connecting.
2. This motor may spark. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of conductive
liquids.
a. Do not use a power or extension cord that is damaged or has exposed wiring.
b. All single phase motor come equipped with a three prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounded type electrical outlet. Do not use a two prong ungrounded extension cord as
the pump’s motor must be grounded.
Jacking Safely
You must know the weight of what you intend to lift and choose a ram with at least 10% more capacity.
The ram should be placed on a solid foundation so that the base of the ram is fully supported. The load
must be centered on the ram, or equally distributed on multiple rams. Off center loading can result in the
ram slipping out and loss of the load.
Never crawl or place any part of your body under any load at any time. Insert blocking or crib being under
the load as you lift. Hydraulic rams are meant for lifting only and should not be used to support the load
for any period of time.
You should obtain and be familiar with the American National Standards Institute rules that apply to
hydraulic rams and jacks (ANSI B30.1).
