USING THE TOOL
•
Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with American National Standards
Safety Code for Hydraulic Rams and Jacks (ANSI B30.1).
•
This tool will function using an air or electric powered hydraulic pump. Adhere to the pump safety
requirements and follow instructions when connecting the pump to the tool.
•
Use only equipment rated for the same pressure and torque.
•
Use only a hydraulic pump capable of generating 10,000 psi (681 bar) maximum pressure with this
tool.
•
Use only twin line hydraulic hose rated for 10,000 psi (681 bar) pressure with this tool.
•
Do not interchange the male and female swivel inlets on the tool or the connections on one end of
the hose. Reversing the inlets will reverse the power stroke cycle and may damage the tool.
•
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated hoses and fittings. Make certain there are no cracks,
splits or leaks in the hoses.
•
Use the quick connect system to attach the hoses to the tool and pump.

When connecting hoses that have not been preloaded with hydraulic oil, make certain the pump
reservoir is not drained of oil during start-up.
•
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
•
Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
•
Never pressurize uncoupled couplers. Only use hydraulic equipment in a coupled system.
