• Avoid straight line tubing connections in short runs. Straight line runs do not provide
for expansion and contraction due to pressure and/or temperature changes.
• Eliminate stress in the tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets
or clips. Tubes through bulkheads must have bulkhead fittings. This makes easy
removal possible and helps support the tubing.
• Carefully inspect all hoses and fittings prior to use. Before each use, check entire hose
for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If
any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. NEVER attempt to repair
the hose.
Cylinder
DANGER:
• Do not exceed rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure may result in personal
injury.
• Avoid off-center loads that could damage the cylinder and/or cause loss of the load.
• Read and understand all safety and warning decals and instructions for devices
attached.
• Inspect each cylinder and coupler before each shift or usage to prevent unsafe
conditions from developing.
• Do not use cylinders if they are damaged, altered or in poor condition.
• Do not use cylinders with bent or damaged couplers or damaged port threads.
• Under certain conditions, the use of an extension with a hydraulic cylinder may not be
advisable and could present a dangerous condition.
• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be created by the load or parts of the
cylinder.
• To help prevent material fatigue if the cylinder is to be used in a continuous application,
the load should not exceed 85% of the rated capacity or stroke.
• Cylinder must be on a stable base which is able to support the load while pushing or
lifting.
• To help prevent personal injury, use shims, friction material or constraints to prevent
slippage of the base or load.
• Do not set poorly-balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder.
• The load can tip or the cylinder can “kick out” and cause personal injury.
• Do not use the locking collar on a threaded piston as a stop. The threads may shear
resulting in loss of the load.
• If this component is used to lift or lower loads, be certain that the load is under operator
control at all times and that others are clear of the load.
• Do not drop the load.
• As the load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing to guard against a falling load.
• To help prevent personal injury, do not allow personnel to go under or work on a load
before it is properly cribbed or blocked. All personnel must be clear of the load before
lowering.
• Never use extreme heat to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder or ram. Metal fatigue and/
or seal damage will result and can lead to unsafe operating conditions.
