NOTE: The maximum force of the hydraulic jack has been 
preset to 8 US Tons in order to increase the life of the 
unit. Due to the use of twin Duocut blades this should be 
sufficient in all circumstances. However the jack can be 
adjusted to deliver 10 US Tons of force but this must only be 
done by a qualified engineer.

De-commissioning product: Should the product become 
completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the 
oil into an approved container and dispose of the product 
and the oil according to local regulations.
