Safety Precautions:
Read and follow all the instructions and safety
warnings carefully prior to use of the equipment.
Failure to do so could result in equipment
damage or failure of the equipment or personal
injury. Hi-Force will not be held responsible for
any damage to the equipment or personal
injury resulting from unsafe use of the product,
lack of maintenance or incorrect operation. If in
doubt on the correct usage of any Hi-Force
equipment, contact your nearest Hi-Force office
or distributor. If the operator has not been
trained on high pressure hydraulic equipment
and its safe use consult your local Hi-Force sales
office who can offer you training courses for
operators.
All operators should ensure that all necessary
personal protective equipment as specified by
their employer is worn when operating any
hydraulic equipment. Safety shoes, safety
glasses/ visor and protective gloves should be
worn at all
times. All relevant risk assessments
should be completed prior to use of the
equipment
Warning:
All ancillary equipment to be
used with these ranges of hydraulic
manual pumps
MUST
be rated for use at the
same operating pressure as the pump model to
be used:-
HP110 – 700bar (10,000psi)
HP227 – HP257 – 700 bar (10,000psi)
HP211, HP212, HP232, HP252–700 bar (10,000psi)
HP232D, HP252D – 700 bar (10,000 psi)
HP245 – HP245D – 700 bar (10,000 psi)
HPX1500 – 1500 bar (21,755 psi)
HPX2800 – 2800 bar (40,610 psi)
Sufficient time should be allocated to
planning your hydraulic system. Make
sure that all the components are fit for the
intended use.
Ensure there is sufficient oil capacity in
the pump reservoir to fully operate the
system to be used.
DO NOT
exceed the rated pressure of the
pump or the rated capacity of the
system to be used. Under no circumstances
ever tamper with the internal safety relief valve
of the pump.
Keep hydraulic pumps away from flames
and direct heat.
Hydraulic pumps must only be serviced by a
qualified technician.
To protect your warranty, only use Hi-Force’s
hydraulic oil.
Immediately replace any worn or damaged
parts using genuine Hi-Force parts only.
The system operating pressure must not exceed
the pressure rating of the lowest component in
the system. Where possible, use a pressure
gauge to monitor the system.
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Always route
hoses to ensure that they are free from sharp
bends and kinks. Using a bent or kinked hose will
cause severe back-pressure and can also lead
to the failure of the hose.
Never
lift or carry any hydraulic
components by the hose or hoses
connected to them.
Do not
handle a pressurized hydraulic
hose. Oil escaping under pressure from a
ruptured hose can penetrate the skin and lead
to a serious medical emergency and in certain
cases death. Should this incident happen
medical attention must be sought immediately.
