WARNING
Failure
to comply with the following warnings
may result in
personal injury
as well as
property damage
.
• Study, understand, and follow all instructions
provided with and on this device before use.
• The user must be a qualified operator familiar
with the correct operation, maintenance, and use of rams.
Wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
This device is
NOT
suitable for use as
support
device! As the load is lifted, use blocking and
cribbing to guard against a falling load. Stay
clear of a lifted load before it is properly supported.
Never rely on hydraulic pressure to support a load.
Crush Hazard
. Keep hands and feet
away from ram and workpiece
during operation.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the ram or
any equipment in the system. The ram is
designed for a max. pressure of 10,000 psi.
• Do not connect a ram to a pump with higher
pressure rating.
• Do not subject ram to a shock loads, a load
dropped suddenly, causing the system pressure to
exceed rated pressure.
The system operating pressure must not exceed
the pressure rating of the lowest rated component
the system. Install a pressure gauge or other load
measuring instrument to monitor the operating pressure. Burst
hazard exists if hose, connection or any other component in
the system exceed its rated pressure.
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Do not allow
hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend so
tightly that fluid flow within the hose is blocked or
reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear.
Do not pull, position or move ram setup by
the hose. Use carrying handle or other means
of safe transport.
Do not handle pressurized hoses. Never attempt
to grasp a leaking pressurized hose. Ensure to
release the system pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic hose or connections.
Hydraulic fluid can ignite and burn. Keep
hydraulic equipment away from flames and
heat. Excessive heat will soften seals, resulting in
fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials.
Ram must be on a stable base which is able
to support the load while pushing or lifting. Use
shims, friction material or constrains to prevent
slippage of the base or load. Ensure ram is fully engaged
into/onto adapters, extension accessories.
Center load on ram. Distribute load evenly
across the entire saddle surface. Do not
off-center loads on a ram. The load can tip
or the ram can “kick out”.
Never try to disassemble a hydraulic ram,
refer repairs to qualified, authorized personal.
Contact BVA Hydraulics tech service for authorized
service center.
Do not subject hose to sharp objects or
heavy impact.
Hose material or seals must not come in
contact with corrosive materials such as
battery acid, creosote-impregnated objects
and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose.
• No alteration shall be made to the ram.
• Use only factory authorized fasteners,
accessories and hydraulic fluid.
