Read this instruction for use fully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid personal
injury or property damage during equipment operation. SKF cannot be responsible
for damage or injury resulting from unsafe product use, lack of maintenance or
incorrect equipment operation. In case of any uncertainties as regards the use of
the equipment contact SKF.
Failure to comply with the following could cause equipment damage and personal injury.
•
Do ensure that the equipment is only operated by trained personnel.
•
Do wear proper personal protective gear, such as eye protection and protective
gloves, when operating the equipment.
•
Do inspect the equipment and all accessories carefully before use.
•
Do not use damaged components or modify the equipment.
•
Do use clean recommended hydraulic oils (SKF LHMF 300, LHDF 900 or similar).
•
Do not use glycerin or water based fluids as a pressure medium.
Premature equipment wear or damage can result.
•
Do not use the equipment above the stated maximum hydraulic pressure.
•
Do not adjust safety valves to work at pressures above the maximum
working pressure.
•
Do not extend the handle in order to reduce the required force to reach maximum
pressure. Use hand pressure only.
•
Do not use the pumps with accessories, which are rated below the maximum
working pressure of the pump.
•
Do use a pressure gauge to monitor the oil outlet pressure.
•
Do ensure that all the air has been removed from the hydraulic system before
pressurising the hydraulic system.
•
Do prevent the workpiece (e.g. bearing, gearwheel or similar item) from being
forcibly ejected upon sudden release of pressure (e.g. by use of retaining nut).
•
Do not use damaged hoses. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when connecting hoses.
Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose leading to premature failure.
Applying pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
•
Do not lift the equipment by the hoses or couplings.
•
Do follow local safety regulations.
•
Do service the equipment by a qualified hydraulic technician or SKF Repair Centre.
•
Do replace worn or damaged parts with genuine SKF parts.
