thoroughly recommends reading these instructions before using
the Hydraulic Equipment even if you have used Hydraulic Equipment before.
Reading these instructions carefully and understanding them fully will enable you
to perform collision repair on a vehicle correctly and will prevent injury to yourself
or someone else as well as prevent damage to the vehicle and equipment.

HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT
l
Always replace the dust caps back onto the couplings after use.
l
Always refill with hydraulic fluid only, making sure no dirt gets into the hydraulic system. Do
not mix different types of oil or use brake fluid.
HAND PUMPS
l
Always bleed the hand pump before use, to release any trapped air.
l
Always release the pressure from the pump when not in use.
l
Never modify in any way.
l
Never carry the pump by the hose.
PUSH & PULL RAMS
l
Always make sure the lift point is stable and properly centred on the ram.
l
Never exceed the the rated capacity.
l
Never work under loads which are supported only by hydraulic equipment. Use additional
mechanical supports.
l
Never use extreme heat to disassemble.
HOSES
l
Always inspect the hose each time before use.
l
Always replace hydraulic hoses within 10 years, even if no defects are detected.
l
Always ensure all hose connections are tightened and are not leaking. Do not overtighten the
hose, as this could cause premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at
pressures lower than their rated capacities.
l
Never grasp a leaking pressurised hose with your hands. The force of escaping fluid could
cause serious injury.
l
Never drop any heavy objects onto the hose, allow it to kink, twist, curl, crush or bend so
tightly that the fluid flow within the hose is blocked or reduced.
l
Never subject the hose to potential hazards such as fire, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or
cold.
l
Never allow the hose to come into contact with corrosive materials, such as creosote-
impregnated objects and some paints as hose deterioration can occur.
