OPERATING PROCEDURE
5.1.
Precautions
To avoid personal injury or damage to the pump or accessories, carefully observe the following precautions
before, during, and after operation of the pump.
For the power supply
DANGER
Ensure that the total current of the pumps being used matches the amperage of the electrical circuit being used.
DANGER
To avoid the possibility of fire, DO NOT attempt to increase the power line capacity by replacing a fuse with a fuse of higher
value.
DANGER
BEFORE operating the pump, ensure that the pump is properly grounded.
CAUTION
Make sure all hose connections are tightened, but not over-tightened. Connections should be secure and leak-free. Over-
tightening can cause permanent thread failure, or cause high-pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated
capacities.
CAUTION
Make sure all hose connections are tightened, but not over-tightened. Connections should be secure and leak-free. Over-
tightening can cause permanent thread failure, or cause high-pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated
capacities.
CAUTION
Oil flow must be unobstructed between the pump and the crimping head. Make sure that all couplers are fully mated and
tightened.
For the pump
DANGER
NEVER operate the pump without a hose assembly and crimping head attached to the pump.
DANGER
ALWAYS exercise caution when holding a terminal or splice near the crimping area.
DANGER
BEFORE changing the crimping head or die assembly or before disconnecting any connections from the pump, always
depress the DUMP switch to release the pressure from the system, then disconnect the pump from the power supply.
CAUTION
Ensure that protector caps are placed on the crimping head and hose fittings when they are disconnected.
For the hydraulic hose
DANGER
If the hydraulic hose ruptures or bursts, immediately depress the DUMP switch to release the pressure from the system, then
DISCONNECT the pump from the power supply.
DANGER
NEVER grab a leaking, pressurized hose. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious injury.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the hydraulic hose, DO NOT subject the hydraulic hose to potential hazards such as fire, sharp surfaces,
extreme heat or cold, or heavy impact. DO NOT let the hose kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that oil flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced.
