Warnings
Hydraulic Hose:
•
Inspect hose for wear and damage prior to every use.
•
Only use twin line high-pressure hydraulic hoses rated for 10,000 PSI (700 BAR)
with at least a 3:1 safety factor.
•
The maximum operating pressure is 10,000 PSI (700 BAR) - Do not exceed 10,000
PSI (700 BAR).
•
Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected,
immediately shut off the hydraulic power pack.
•
Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The force of
the escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
•
Do not let the hose kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced.
•
Too small of a bending radius will kink and destroy the high-pressure hydraulic
hose.
•
Before operating the hydraulic power pack, tighten all hydraulic hose connections with
the proper tools.
•
Connections should be tightened securely and leak-free.
•
Do not
overtighten.
•
Over tightening can cause premature coupler thread failure.
•
Shut off the air motor or disconnect air supply before breaking any hydraulic
connections in the system.
•
Do not
subject the hose to potential hazards such as:
•
Fire
•
Sharp surfaces
•
Extreme heat or cold
•
Heavy impact
•
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid.
•
Keep hoses away from contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-
impregnated objects and some paints and solvents.
•
Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials can result in premature failure and
serious personal injury.
•
Never paint a hydraulic hose.
•
Never paint hydraulic couplers.
