Safety Instructions • READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS AND OWNER’S MANUAL INFORMATION
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT
General • Read and understand all printed materials provided with and on this cylinder • Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure exceeds rated pressure.
• Do not exceed rated capacities • Do not exceed the rated capacity of this device. Monitor pressure and load at all times.
• Use only on hard level surface capable of sustaining the load • Verify load with calibrated load cell and indicator, accurate pressure gauge or equivalent devices.
• Do not connect actuators to pumps with higher pressure ratings • Inspect hoses and connections for damage prior to use. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose.
• Always inspect hoses and connections for damage prior to use • Release the hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hoses or couplers, and before servicing the pump or accessory.
• Keep hands and feet clear of work area • Immediately after lifting, support the load with appropriate means. Never rely on hydraulic pressure to support a load.
• LIFTING DEVICE ONLY! Immediately after lifting, support the load with appropriate means • Wear protective clothing and eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards when operating this equipment.
• Use only manufacturer approved hydraulic fluid • Ensure that the chosen application is stable to work on and around.
• A flow-restricting component shall not be present between the relief valve and the tank • Do not subject the pump and its components to shock loads.
• No alterations shall be made to this cylinder • Do not connect to applications which can return more oil to the reservoir than the pump reservoir can hold.
• Failure to meet these markings may result in injury and/or property damage • Ensure that the rated pressure of all applications and fittings is equal to or greater than the rated pressure of this pump.
▲ • Each double-acting cylinder shall be fitted with a relief valve on the retract circuit, which • Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat.
