Hydraulic Fluids - SPX FLOW Bolting Systems PE55TWP-4-BS Operating Instructions And Parts List Manual

Safety Precautions Continued
Tools
• Do not exceed rated capacities of the tools. Excess pressure may result in personal injury.
• Read and understand all safety and warning decals and instructions for devices attached.
• Inspect each tool and coupler before each shift or usage to prevent unsafe conditions
from developing.
• Do not use tools if they are damaged, altered or in poor condition.
• Do not use tools with bent or damaged couplers or damaged port threads.
• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be created by the tool.
• Never use extreme heat to disassemble hydraulic tools. Metal fatigue and/or seal damage
will result and can lead to unsafe operating conditions.
IMPORTANT:
• Keep the tool clean at all times.
• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to seal all hydraulic connections. PTFE
tape can be used if only one layer of tape is used, and it is applied carefully (two threads
back) to prevent the tape from being pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the pipe
end. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and obstruct the flow of
fluid or cause jamming of precision-fit parts.
• Always use protective covers on disconnected quick couplers.

Hydraulic Fluids

• Properly dispose of all fluids, components and assemblies at the end of their useful life
according to the applicable local waste-treatment and environmental regulations.
• Hydraulic fluid should be compatible with all hydraulic components.
Transport
• Do not lift hydraulic pump by any electrical cord, hose or coupler. To safely transport,
always use the carrying handle, roll cage or suitable lifting aid, along with assistance and
proper lifting techniques.
Note: The guide cannot cover every hazard or situation so always do the job with SAFETY FIRST.
