For this reason, use in applications different from those intended (for example with hydraulic jacks, lifting systems or similar) can be dangerous for the operator. Cembre S.p.A. does not accept any liability arising from the use of its hydraulics pumps for ap- plications different from those listed in its catalogues or other documentation.

For the proper operation of all the safety features in the complete unit, each cutting head is paired to its associated pump. This procedure is completed by Cembre prior to delivery. Due to this, the use of non-paired pumps and cutting heads is not recom- mended and should be avoided.

2. RRC1 RADIO REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES: frequency band: 2405–2480 MHz battery: 2 x 1.5V AAA / LR03 Alkaline dimensions: 2.6 x 4.5 x 1.5 in (66 x 114 x 37.5 mm) weight: 0.3 lbs (140 g) IP code: Operating temperature: -4 to +130 °F (-20 to +55 °C ) The RRC1 radio remote control allows users to control the pump.
As a result their life span is limited. In order to ensure safe use, Cembre recommends replacing the hose within 10 years from the date printed on the fittings.

Should it be needed, the earthing device, comprising a 5m long cable and an earth rod, may be ordered from Cembre (Part. no EK 500P). Whatever the case, the earthing device must be approved by Cembre. To ground the cutting head, proceed as follows: Unscrew knob (6) from the grounding socket (16) of the head.
