GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES
All installation, assembly, maintenance and disassembly operations of the equipment and components used with the
equipment must be carried out fully respecting safety measures: there must never be any pressure (zero pressure) inside
the hydraulic circuit and no weight of any kind must be placed on the jack springs or the control unit used (zero load).

Warning
Do not tamper with any kind of valve or joint in the system. Do not attempt to modify the anchorage brackets on the
jacks or modify the chassis fixing points supporting the load.
ATTENTION REGARDING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Before carrying out any kind of operation or work on the hydraulic power pack, engines and any other kind of electrical
device must be disconnected from the electrical current; all electrical connecting and disconnecting must be carried out
by competent and specialised personnel. A safety device (fuse, relay) is supplied together with the hydraulic power pack
and the electrical system. Before carrying out any work, motors or devices other than electrical ones (pneumatic,
hydraulic, mechanical etc.) must always be disconnected from their electrical current and placed in a condition so that
they cannot produce energy and, thus movement, even accidentally.

Warning
Use protective safety equipment;
Work in conditions of maximum hygiene;
Work under maximum safety conditions;
Use suitable and clean instruments, equipment and work benches;
During the following operations:
- engine start-up
- every day work
- maintenance
- regulating and air release of the system
- work on and operating of valves and various control elements
- leaking and splattering of hydraulic fluid in the system may occur if work is done on the hydraulic tube fittings
Ensure that there is no pressure in the circuit.
Empty the system completely before changing the hydraulic fluid.
Danger!
Hydraulic fluid can be a health hazard. Contact with the eyes or the skin can cause serious damage.
Scrupulously follow the protective and safety indications imposed by the hydraulic fluid manufacturer shown on the
technical and toxicological product diagram.
Hydraulic fluid can be a polluting product. Avoid hydraulic fluid leakages by using basins and use oil-absorbing
products in the event of accidental leakages of the hydraulic fluid.
