2 Safety
When reading this manual, pay particular attention to DANGER, CAUTION, and NOTE statements.
DANGER
Denotes an imminent hazard that can result in moderate or severe injury.
CAUTION
Denotes a condition that can result in product or equipment damage.
NOTE
Highlights special or important information.
Read all instructions, warnings, and cautions carefully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid personal injury or
property damage during system operation. TE Connectivity cannot be responsible for damage or injury
resulting from unsafe product use, lack of maintenance, or incorrect product operation. Contact TE Connectivity
when in doubt as to the safety precautions and operations. Failure to comply with the following cautions and
warnings can cause injury and equipment damage.
2.1 Safety precautions
DANGER
Always wear approved personal protective gear while operating hydraulic equipment.
DANGER
To avoid injury, keep hands and feet away from the cylinder and work piece during operation.
DANGER
Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never attempt to lift a load that exceeds the capacity of the cylinder. Overloading can cause
injury and equipment failure. The cylinders are designed for a maximum pressure of 700 bars. The nominal pressure is set to
565 bar. Do not connect a cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure rating.
DANGER
To prevent over-pressurizing the system, the pump is equipped with a relief valve. This valve is set at the factory. Do not
adjust or remove the relief valve. Doing so can cause injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION
The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the system. Install
pressure gauges in the system to monitor operating pressure. These gauges tell you what is happening in the system.
CAUTION
Do not damage the hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent or kinked hose
causes severe backpressure that internally damages the hose, leading to premature hose failure.
CAUTION
Do not drop heavy objects on the hose. A sharp impact can damage the hose wire strands. Applying pressure to a damaged
hose can cause it to rupture.
CAUTION
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel couplers. Use only the carrying handle or other means of safe transport.
CAUTION
Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive heat softens fillings and seals, resulting in fluid leaks. Heat
also weakens hose materials and fillings. For optimum performance, do not expose equipment to temperatures of 65 °C
[150 °F] or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
