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.
• When not in use, store the pipe in the original anti-corrosive packaging.
• 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 use washers on sealing surfaces
• Do use a pressure gauge to monitor the oil outlet pressure, wherever possible.
• 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 handle high pressure pipes. Oil under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, seek medical attention
immediately.
• Do not use damaged high pressure pipes. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when
connecting pipes. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the pipe leading to
premature failure.
Applying pressure to a damaged pipe may cause it to rupture.
• Do not leave the equipment unattended whilst operating.
• Do follow local safety regulations
• Do replace worn or damaged parts with genuine SKF parts.
All high pressure pipes are marked with a recommended service life expiry date.
It is strongly advised not to use pipes after the recommended service life expiry date.
