USER'S RESPONSIBILITY
The user must have read the following instructions and precautions before using the hydraulic body assembly. Failure to observe these precautions could cause
damage to the jack and the accessories, or cause injuries to users.
These warnings must be read and understood before any use.
WARNINGS!
1. The body jack is planned only for use with FACOM brand accessories. Use of accessories of one or more other brands than FACOM may cause an overload,
reduce the capacity and reduce the stability of the unit, and may cause a serious accident.
2. Using too many accessories could then cause the unit to collapse, cause injuries to persons and damage nearby equipment.
3. Regularly check the oil level in the pump (1 1 1 1 1 ). Conversely, too much oil can damage the machines or put them out of order.
See the heading «instructions before use» for the procedure to follow.
4. For each extension used, the resistance of the unit is reduced by 50%. See the details in the following headings.
5. Use of a manometer is recommended (not included in your hydraulic case) to check the pressure of the various types of extension.
6. Never disconnect the connections unless the piston is in the low position.
7. Before increasing the pressure, check that all the accessories and extensions are correctly coupled.
8. To prevent the unit sliding, you must always correctly centre the load with the jack and the accessories concerned.
9. When you change the oil, never use brake liquid, alcohol, glycerin, detergents, engine oil or used oil. Use of dirty oil can cause internal damage to your
equipment. For more information, contact directly your FACOM distributor who sold you your equipment. FACOM recommends oil reference
10. Keep your hands away from the separator jack to prevent injury (2 2 2 2 2 ).
11. Avoid bending the pipe. Always keep the pipe in a horizontal or slightly curved position (3 3 3 3 3 ).
12. Never place too heavy a weight on the pipe; each incision/cut can cause explosions during use (4 4 4 4 4 ).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE
1. Before each use the body jack must be inspected. You must in particular check whether there are leaks, worn or damaged pipe or connections, bent or damaged extensions
and accessories which are incorrectly attached or lost.
2. The user must understand that repairing the body jack requires specific knowledge.
For this reason defective parts must be replaced by qualified personnel with original FACOM parts.
3. Each part of the body jack must be inspected in the event of a load judged to be abnormal or following an impact.
ASSEMBLY
1. To prepare the pump, remove the pipe protection and the jack coupling. Insert the pipe coupling with that of the jack. Take a clean extension and attach it.
Check that the extension is perfectly attached to the piston.
Observation: the thread protection must be kept for future use.
2. Use of extensions or other accessories such as the piston and the suction ram stand may reduce the machine's capacity. When you use extensions, the shortest extension
must always be attached last.
Never attach it to the centre.
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
1. Check oil level:
Position the jack horizontally, with the piston in the short position, and open the valve. Remove the cap. The tank must be filled precisely as far as the opening (1 1 1 1 1 ).
It necessary, fill with FACOM oil (reference WA.21), to the correct level.
2. Internal lubrication:
Operate the lever a few times with the valve open in order to guarantee correct lubrication.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Starting:
Close valve (5 5 5 5 5 ) by rotating in a clockwise direction until it is blocked (do not overtighten). Then use the pump (6 6 6 6 6 ). Continue this pumping operation until the desired position
is reached.
2. Release:
Slowly rotate the valve (7) in an anticlockwise direction and retract the piston. The speed of this action may be adjusted according to the speed with which the valve is rotated.
OBSERVATION:
The pump is fitted with a safety valve which directs the oil into the tank when the pump pressure has reached its maximum. After this, continuing to pump will not operate the system. Take care
that the extensions are not incorrectly positioned. If you observe that the extensions are folding, immediately open the pump valve and correct your installation. A continual overload indicates
that your equipment is not necessarily appropriate and that your work requires a higher jack capacity.
MAINTENANCE
1. After use:
When the body jack is no longer in use, keep it in the retracted position with the valve open. Keep the jack and extensions clean and regularly lubricate the «fragile» elements
of the pump.Ideally store the jack and the extensions in your case when you are not using them.
2. Bleeding the hydraulic system:
During transport, storage or use of the pump or the piston suction ram, the pump may have less oil and air can be introduced into the system. To bleed the hydraulic system, place the pump in
a horizontal position and the jack in the low position (8 8 8 8 8 ). Open the valve completely and pump approximately 10 times with the lever. Close the valve and pump the jack as far as it will go,
and then release. Repeat this operation 2 or 3 times if this proves necessary.
PISTON DURING USE OF THE PUMP
When you use the pump in a horizontal position the lever must be above. When you use the pump in a vertical position the pipe must be straightened out at the bottom (9 9 9 9 9 ). All other positions
must be avoided to prevent any air bubble being pumped in the pipe and the jack.
The body jack capacity may vary according to the number of accessories used and to the type of load desired. The estimated capacity for the load of each part is illustrated in (10
you use two or more extensions, the shortest extension must be the furthest from the jack.
