WARNING
CAUTION

HOSES AND FITTINGS

There exists the potential for shock in using anything other
than certified nonconductive hoses and hydraulic oil with
dielectric properties, when using system components near
energized electrical lines. Failure to recognize these conditions
could cause electrocution.
ALWAYS SHUT OFF pump/power source before connecting or
disconnecting system components. ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE
hydraulic system before disconnecting this unit or any of the
systems components.
ALWAYS TIGHTEN couplings completely. Loose or improperly
tightened couplings will not allow fluid to pass through the hose
creating a blockage in the supply or return line.
HOSE INSTALLATION
Care must be t aken to assure the correct connection of the
hoses to the pressure and return port s . If the hoses are incor-
rectly connected, the tool will run in reverse. This will damage
the tool and create dangerous conditions for the operator
Always inspect hoses and connectors before using this tool
each time before using. Replace or repair if any leakage is
evident. Leakage is a sign of deterioration in component parts.
Worn or leaking parts must be repaired or replaced, or injury
and severe damage could result.
