Do NOT
exceed the rated capacity of the power unit or any equipment in the
system. Burst hazard exists if connection pressure exceeds rated pressure
Do NOT
operate the system with bent or damaged couplers or damaged threads
Do NOT
subject the power unit and its components to shock loads
Use only Durapac approved accessories and components
Do NOT
connect to an application which can return more oil to the reservoir than
the power unit reservoir can hold
Do NOT
connect the power unit to a hydraulic system that is powered by another
pump

Hydraulic Hoses & Fluid Transmission Lines
Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line runs do not provide for
expansion and contraction due to pressure and/or temperature changes
Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets or
clips. Before operating the power unit, connections should be tightened securely
and leak-free. Over tightening can cause premature thread failure or high pressure
fittings to burst
Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be disconnected,
immediately shut off the power unit and release all pressure. Never attempt to
grasp a leaking pressurised hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic
fluid can inflict injury
Do NOT
subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, sharp objects, extreme
heat or cold or heavy impact
Do NOT
allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend so tightly that the fluid
flow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used.
Hoses also must not come in contact with corrosive materials such as battery acid,
creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Installation
IMPORTANT:
Always secure threaded port connections with high grade, non-hardening pipe
thread sealant. Teflon tape can be used if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied
carefully, two threads back, to prevent the tape from being introduced into hydraulic system,
which could cause jamming of precision-fit parts
IMPORTANT:
To extend the life of your power unit, the air compressor should have a filter,
regulator and lubricator system that will provide clean, lubricated air to the power unit. Contact
your Durapac representative for the necessary accessories
