cautions carefully. Follow all safety
precautions to avoid personal injury or
property damage during system operation.
Apex Tool Group cannot be responsible
for damage or injury resulting from unsafe
product use, lack of maintenance or
incorrect product and/or system operation.
Contact Apex Tool Group when in doubt as
to the safety precautions and operations of
this equipment.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and
warnings could cause equipment damage and/or
personal injury.
A
CAUTION
is used to indicate correct operating or
maintenance procedures and practices to prevent
damage to, or destruction of, equipment or other
property.
A
WARNING
indicates a potential danger that requires
correct procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
A
DANGER
is only used when your action, or lack of
action, may cause serious personal injury or
even death.
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.
Avoid damaging the hydraulic hoses.
Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing
the hydraulic hoses. Using a bent or kinked
hose will cause severe back-pressure.
Sharp bends or kinks will internally damage
the hose leading to premature failure.
DO NOT
drop heavy objects on the
hoses. A sharp impact may cause internal
damage to the hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it
to rupture.
IMPORTANT:
Do not lift hydraulic
equipment by the hoses or swivel couplers.
Use the integrated handle and wheeled
cage to safely move the pump.
Keep hydraulic equipment away from
flames and heat.
Excessive heat will
soften packing and seals, resulting in fluid
leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials
and packing. For optimum performance
do not expose equipment to temperatures
of 150° F (65° C) or higher. Protect hoses
and cylinders from weld spatter.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Hydraulic equipment must
only be serviced by a qualified hydraulic
technician. To protect your warranty, use
only manufactured recommended oil.
Immediately replace worn or damaged
parts with genuine manufacturer’s parts.
Standard grade parts will break causing
property damage and/or personal injury.
Manufacturer’s parts are designed to fit
properly and withstand high loads.
Do not use electric pumps in an explosive
environment. Adhere to al local and national
electrical codes. A qualified electrician
must do installation and modification on
this equipment.
These pumps have internal factory
adjusted relief valves, which must not be
repaired or adjusted except by a factory
authorized service location.
To prevent damage to the pump’s electric
motor, check specifications. An incorrect
power source will cause damage to the
motor.
