NOTE:
G Read and carefully follow these instructions. Most problems with new equipment are caused by improper
operation or installation.
WARNING:
Hydraulic Hose
G Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened using the proper tools. Do not
overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening can cause
premature thread failure or high pressure fittings to split at pressures lower than their rated capacities.
G
Always shut off the electric motor before breaking any connection in the system.
G
Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump.
Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid
could cause serious injury.
G Do not subject the hose to potential hazard 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. Periodically inspect the hose for wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose.
G
Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose, causing personal injury.
G
Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not
come in contact with corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints. Consult
the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint the couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive
materials can result in personal injury.
Pump
G Do not exceed the PSI hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump nameplate or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creatng pressure beyond the rated capacity can result in personal injury.
G Before replenishing the oil level, retract the system to prevent overfilling the pump reservoir. An overfill
can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
Cylinders
G Do not exceed the rated capacities of the cylinders. Excess pressure can result in personal injury.
G Do not set poorly balanced or off-center loads on a cylinder. The load can tip and cause personal injury.
Power Supply (Gasoline Engine)
G
Read the instruction manual for the gasoline engine before using.
G Do not allow fuel to splash on the engine when refueling.
G Do not add fuel when the engine is running or very hot.
