Power Supply; Hydraulic Hoses And Lines - SPX FLOW Power Team PB102-1 Parts List And Operating Instructions

Safety Precautions continued

Power supply

• Electrical Shock or Electrocution.
• Any electrical work must be done and tested by a qualified electrician per local directives
and standards.
• Disconnect the battery from the pump and relieve pressure before removing the motor case
cover or performing maintenance or repair.
• If wiring is exposed, replace or repair immediately.
• Do not attempt to increase the power capacity by replacing a fuse with another fuse of
higher value. Overheating of the power supply and the possibility of a fire will result.
• Electric pumps should never be exposed to rain or water which could cause personal
electrical hazard.
• Avoid conditions which can cause damage to the power supply such as abrasion, crushing,
sharp cutting edges, or corrosive environment. Damage to the power supply can cause an
electrical hazard.

Hydraulic hoses and lines

• Avoid straight line tubing connections in short runs. Straight line runs do not provide for
expansion and contraction due to pressure and/or temperature changes. See diagrams in
"Set-up Instructions" section of this form.
• Eliminate stress in the tube lines. Long tubing runs should be supported by brackets or
clips. Tubes through bulkheads must have bulkhead fittings. This makes easy removal
possible and helps support the tubing.
• Before operating the pump, all hose connections must be tightened with 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.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately shut
off the pump and release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose
with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as fire, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or
cold, or heavy impact. Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut, or bend so tightly
that the fluid flow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for
wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose and possibly result in personal
injury. Never repair with tape.
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and possibly
cause personal injury.
• 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. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials can result in
personal injury. Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. Never paint a coupler.
