Operator safety is the most important aspect of the product design. Moreover, the operating instructions are intended to help the safe use of HURST products. The generally applicable, legal and other binding regulations pertaining to the prevention of accidents and protection of the environment apply and are to be implemented in addition to the operating instructions.

The equipment is filled When working with or storing with a hydraulic fluid. the equipment, ensure that These hydraulic fluids can the function and the safety be dangerous to health if of the equipment are not swallowed or their vapours impaired by the effects of inhaled.
1 fig. 2 HURST spreaders and combi tools can also be used under water at a depth of up to 40m (131 ft). CAUTION! In this case, you must strictly observe any leaks in order to avoid threats to the environment.
ʺTechnical dataʺ. A higher setting can result in material damage and/or injuries. HURST rescue equipment may only be used in areas at risk of explosion if an explosion has been prevented by appropriate measures You must also take into account that sparks may be created, for example by spreading or squashing an object.

A HURST motor pump or hand pump only may be used to drive the equipment. If the pump unit is a different make, you must make sure that it complies with HURST specifications, otherwise potential dangers may occur which are not the responsibility of HURST.
In the case of doubt you have to inquire HURST directly! 5.2 Coupling the mono-couplings The equipment is connected to the hydraulic pump via mono-coupling halves (male and female).
Page 13
Before coupling, remove dust protection caps, then connect male and female, and turn the locking sleeve of the female to direction ʺ1ʺ until the locking sleeve locks into place. The connection is now in place and secure. Decoupling is by turning the locking sleeve to direction ʺ0ʺ.
6. Operation 6.1 Preparatory measures 6.1.1 Commissioning Before commissioning and following repairs, the equipment must be deaerated. - Connect the equipment to the hydraulic pump (see chapter ʺConnecting the equipmentʺ). - Open / close the spreader arms of the equipment without any load at least twice (see chapter ʺOperation of the star gripʺ).
7. Spreading, pulling and squeezing 7.1 Safety notes Before rescue works can commence, the position of the obstacle must be stabilised. You must ensure an adequate substructure and / or adequate support of the object. World-wide, safety guidelines pertaining to the specific country are to be observed and complied with. In the Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety inspections according to the regulations of the Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (GUV;...
7.2 Spreading Use the front area of the tips for increasing the gap only. Full spreading capacity can be achieved when approximately half of the grooved area of the tips is used. The greatest force is created in the rear area of the spreading range of the tip (refer to images to follow). WARNING / CAUTION! The light metal alloy spreader arms may not be damaged.
7.3 Pulling - HURST chain sets are to be used for pulling purposes. - Before the pulling process can be performed, ensure that the bolt and hook fit correctly to prevent the chain from slipping. - Only chain sets in perfect condition may be used.
8. Dismantling the equipment / deactivation following operation 8.1 Spreader Once work has been completed, the spreader arms are to be closed so that there is a tip distance of just a few mm. This relieves the hydraulic and mechanical strain on the equipment.
9.1 Spreader, overall Inspections to be carried out: Visual inspection Spreader • Opening width of the spreader arms on the tips (see chapter ʺTechnical dataʺ), • General tightness (leaks), • Operability of the star grip, • Existence and stability of handle, •...
Servicing may only be carried out by the manufacturer or personnel trained by the manufacturer and by authorised HURST dealers. Only HURST spare parts may be used to replace all components (see spare parts list) since special tools, assembly advice, safety aspects, inspections might have to complied with (see also chapter ʺMaintenance and Serviceʺ).
10.3 Repairs 10.3.1 Replacing the plug-on tips Procedure: 1. In order to remove the plug-on tips ʺGʺ, you need to push the buttons ʺJʺ on both sides of a spreader arm completely and simultaneously and then remove the plug-on tip from the spreader arm by pulling it forwards.
