WARNING: USE ONLY RIGID PIECES TO HOLD LOADS. Carefully select steel or wood blocks that are
capable of supporting the load. Never use a hydraulic cylinder as a shim or spacer in any lifting or
pressing application.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands and feet away from cylinder and work piece during
operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never attempt to lift a load weighing more than the
capacity of the cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury. The cylinders
are designed for a max. pressure of 700 bars. The nominal pressure is set to 700bars respective 580
bars. Do not connect a jack or cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure rating.
DANGER: Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Do not remove relief valve.
WARNING: 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. It is your
window to what is happening in the system.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses.
Using a bent or kinked hose will cause severe backpressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally
damage the hose leading to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands.
Applying pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or
other means of safe transport.
CAUTION: Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive heat will soften 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.
DANGER: 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.
WARNING: Only use hydraulic cylinders in a coupled system. Never use a cylinder with unconnected
couplers. If the cylinder becomes extremely overloaded, components can fail catastrophically causing
severe personal injury.
WARNING: BE SURE SETUP IS STABLE BEFORE LIFTING LOAD. Cylinders should be placed on a flat
surface that can support the load. Where applicable, use a cylinder base for added stability. Do not weld
or otherwise modify the cylinder to attach a base or other support.
Avoid situations where loads are not directly centred on the cylinder plunger. Off-centre loads produce
considerable strain on cylinders and plungers. In addition, the load may slip or fall, causing potentially
dangerous results. Distribute the load evenly across the entire saddle surface. Always use a saddle to
protect the plunger.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a qualified hydraulic technician. For repair
service, contact the authorized Tyco Electronics Service Centre in your area. To protect your warranty,
only use original oil.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged parts by genuine original parts. Standard grade parts
will break causing personal injury and property damage. Original parts are designed to fit properly and
withstand high loads.
CAUTION: Always use the handle to carry the pump. Carrying the pump by the hose may damage the
hose and/or the pump.
