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
Regularly inspect power unit, hoses and connections before each use to prevent
unsafe conditions from developing.
Do NOT
use if they are damaged, altered or in
poor condition.
Do NOT
operate the system with bent or damaged coupler or
damaged threads
Do NOT
subject the power unit and its components to shock loads
Use only Durapac approved accessories and components
Ensure that the chosen application is stable to work on and around
Do NOT
connect to an application which can return more oil to the reservoir than the
power unit reservoir can hold
Do NOT
connect 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
Ensure that the minimum bending radius is greater than 120 mm
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
Do NOT
pull, position or move setup by the hose
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
