AM-2 / AM-4
PREMOUNTED MANIFOLDS
AM-2 and AM-4 Premounted Manifolds
Designed to operate at 10,000 psi [700 bar], these
manifolds function as split-flow valves to control up to
two (AM-2) or four (AM-4) single-acting cylinders
simultaneously. The valves can be used for shut-off or
metering in hydraulic circuits. All ports 3/8"-18 NPTF.
WARNING: Stay clear of loads supported
by hydraulics. A cylinder, when used as a
load lifting device, should never be used
as a load holding device. After the load
has been raised or lowered, it must always be
blocked mechanically.
WARNING: USE ONLY RIGID PIECES
TO HOLD LOADS. Carefully select steel
or wood blocks that are capable of
supporting the load. Never use a hydraulic
cylinder as a shim or spacer in any lifting or pressing
application.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury
keep hands and feet away from cylinder
and workpiece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment
ratings. Never attempt to lift a load
weighing more than the capacity of the
cylinder. Overloading causes equipment
failure and possible personal injury. The cylinders are
designed for a max. pressure of 700 bar [10,000 psi].
Do not connect a jack or cylinder to a pump with a
higher pressure rating.
DANGER: Never set the relief valve to a
higher pressure than the maximum rated
pressure of the pump. Higher settings
may result in equipment damage and/or
personal injury. Do not remove relief valve.
WARNING:
pressure must not exceed the pressure
rating of the lowest rated component in
the system. Install pressure gauges in the
system to monitor operating pressure. It is your
window to what is happening in the system.
