Safety precautions
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.
