2.4 ToughLift Specific Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and obey the following safety precautions could result
in property damage, serious personal injury or death;
•
DO NOT
work under or near a load supported only by hydraulic means. A hydraulic cylinder / jack,
when used as a lifting device, should not be used as a load-holding device. Once lifted, all loads
should be supported using rigid mechanical structures.
•
NEVER
exceed the maximum rated pressure or load capacity of any hydraulic cylinder. Hi-Force
manufactures its hydraulic cylinders to operate at a maximum working pressure of 700 bar
(10,000 psi).
•
DO NOT
adjust or remove the external pressure relief valve on any Hi-Force product.
•
ALWAYS
place the unit on a flat, even surface that can support the load to be applied.
Where applicable, use an additional cylinder support base to assist in supporting the load to be
lifted.
•
Avoid lifting loads that are not central to the lifting piston. Avoid offset loading as this can damage
the cylinder bores and piston rods, and also lead to unstable load lifting.
•
NEVER
invert the unit or lay it on its side, either in use, in transport or in storage.
•
DO NOT
weld any items to the ToughLift unit or modify it in any way from its delivered condition.
Your warranty may be invalidated, and it could lead to serious personal injury.
•
ALWAYS
use friction material under the base plate of the unit and between the
jack and the load.
•
ONLY
lift dead-weight (static) loads.
DO NOT
lift dynamic loads. i.e. Loads with a shifting centre of
mass.
•
NEVER
exceed the maximum rated capacity of any hydraulic equipment.
See section 9
.
•
Only use hydraulic cylinders in a complete and tested, coupled system.
NEVER
attempt to use a
cylinder that is not correctly coupled to its operational pump.
•
Overloading hydraulic cylinders can result in component failure and possible serious personal injury.
•
Keep hands and feet away from the cylinder during operation.
