PRIOR TO PUMP OPERATION

Consult the appropriate puller unit manual for safety precautions before installing a puller unit onto a
PowerPak.
When used in accordance with these instructions, the FT-B100 PowerPak is safe and easy to use. All general
safety precautions associated with hydraulic operated power tools should be observed. Many of these are
noted in this section. Ultimately, the operator is responsible for personal safety; however, the following
general safety precautions should be observed.
Note that the FT-B100 series pumps are not sealed units and must not be tipped or shipped wet. Tipping the
unit while filled will result in oil leaks, and cause operational issues. A shipping cap is included and can be
put back in place for shipping.
1. Wear eye and ear protection when operating the FT-B100 PowerPak.
2. Disconnect the remove battery when:
- Maintenance is to be performed.
- Hydraulic hose is disconnected.
- PowerPak is not in use.
3. In the event of a ruptured or leaking hydraulic hose, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF. Never use your
hands to grasp a leaking hose under pressure. The force of escaping hydraulic fluid could cause serious
injury. If hydraulic oil should penetrate the skin, medical attention must be sought immediately.

9. Hoses must not come in contact with toxic materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some
paints. Keep clean and never paint couplers or hoses. Hose deterioration due to chemical degradation
may cause the hose to fail under pressure.

4. DO NOT attempt to disconnect the hydraulic hose while the
pump is running.
5. DO NOT expose hoses to potential hazards such as extreme
heat or cold, sharp surfaces, heavy impact, or vehicular traffic.
6. DO NOT allow hoses to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that
the oil flow within the hose is blocked or reduced.
7. Periodically inspect the hose and fittings for wear or damage
that could cause premature failure of the hose or fittings and
possibly result in injury. Replace damaged hoses or fittings
prior to use.
8. Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the
hydraulic fluid used (see Section 1.2 for hydraulic fluid
requirements). Hoses and fittings must have a minimum
working pressure of 10,000 psi with a minimum burst pressure
of 20,000 psi. Note: Hydraulic hoses supplied by FTI meet
these requirements.
