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 luids 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.
•
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 lift the equipment by the pipe or couplings.
•
Do not leave the equipment unattended whilst operating.
•
Do follow local safety regulations.
•
Do service the equipment by a qualiied hydraulic technician or SKF Repair Centre.
•
Do replace worn or damaged parts with genuine SKF parts.
