It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read this manual prior to using the device. It is also the responsibility of the

THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of Portable Hydraulic Power Kits is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exer-
cise of intelligence, care, and common sense. The versatility of use is limited only by the imagination and ingenuity of its operator; therefore
K-Tool International cannot be responsible for product damage or personal injury due to faulty operator judgement or improper use of the
kit. It is essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of the kit who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe
operation of the kit and its proper use when working on vehicle frames and body parts. Examples of hazards are dropping or slipping of
load, caused by improperly securing loads, overloading, off centered loads, and improper setups. Additional hazards may be caused by the
rupture or bursting of the hydraulic hoses and related fittings due to abuse, misuse, improper setup and using the kit for a purpose for which
it was not intended.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand, and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• The kit owner is responsible for the kit being used in accordance with OSHA, state, and local safety standards.
• User and bystanders wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity. Some kit attachments do not match the kit’s rated capacity. The kit’s rated capacity can also be
reduced according to the number of kit attachments and extension tubes used and their assembly to the cylinder/ram. USE THE
PRESSURE GAUGE (#11) INCLUDED IN THIS KIT TO MONITOR CORRECT LOAD CAPACITIES.
Wedge Rams are rated at 1 ton capacity.
Rubber Heads are rated at 1/2 ton capacity in the 4 ton kit and 1 ton capacity in the 10 ton kit.
• Do not overextend the rams.
• When using extension tubes, position the shortest tube farthest away from the cylinder.
• Attachments and extension tubes must be aligned and fully engaged so the ram force is straight and avoids off-center load conditions.
• Before operating, tighten all hose, gauge and manifold connections so they are secure and leak free. Do not over tighten or it may cause
premature thread failure or split pressure fittings. Tighten all hose quick disconnect fittings by hand only.
• Do not subject the hose to extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, abrasion, impact, kinking, twisting, curling, bending or any condition that
restricts or affects fluid flow.
• Make sure setup is stable and secure before performing any work.
• Use this kit for the intended purpose of vehicle body/frame repair only.
• Only components supplied with this kit shall be used with this kit.
• No alterations or modifications shall be made to any of the kit components.
• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.
