*Only use a hydraulic power source equipped with relief valves and pressures set within specified limits.
*Keep hydraulic system free of dirt. Avoid letting couplers contact a dirty floor.
*Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
*Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
*Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or /hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary).

HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
WARNING:
When tightening or loosening hydraulic hoses, use a 9/16" wrench to hold the hydraulic fitting to prevent the
steel tube from twisting. Twisting the steel tube can cause premature failure at welded joints.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe dope is recom
mended.
CAUTION:
may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage. Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread. Cut off all
loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
ing can easily distort the threads.
