Operation

Electric shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When using
this unit on or near energized electri-
cal lines, use proper personal protec-
tive equipment.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Wear eye protection when operating
this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
Skin injection hazard:
• Hand-tighten all couplers com-
pletely before operating the pump.
Do not use tools.
• Do not use hands to check for
leaks.
• Do not hold the hose or couplers
while the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
• Depressurize the hydraulic system
before servicing.
Oil under pressure easily punctures
skin causing serious injury, gan-
grene or death. If you are injured by
escaping oil, seek medical attention
immediately.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper connector and cable combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
crimp.
• Crimp until the pump has reached relief pressure. If
you do not achieve relief pressure you will have an
incomplete crimp.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
