Safety recommendations
As high pressures/forces constitute a potential safety
risk, the following instructions must be considered:
•
The equipment should only be operated by
trained personnel.
•
Always follow the operating instructions.
•
Check the puller and all accessories carefully
before use.
Never use even slightly damaged components.
•
Make sure the force rating of the puller exceeds
calculated maximum withdrawal force.
•
Ensure that the puller legs are properly secured
around the workpiece.
Each claw must be fully engaged.
•
Make sure the force is equally distributed in all
three arms.
•
Make sure all air has been removed from the
hydraulic system, before putting the equipment
under pressure.
•
Always use a pressure gauge.
•
Always prevent the workpiece/tool from being
projected upon sudden release of pressure
(e.g. by use of retaining nut).
•
Never use the equipment above the stated
maximum pressure.
•
Use protective goggles.
•
Cover the work with a protective blanket or
shield while force being applied.
•
Never modify the unit.
•
Use original parts only.
•
Only use clean, recommended hydraulic oils
(e.g. SKF LHMF 300, LHDF 900 or similar).
•
In case of any uncertainties as regards the use
of the puller, contact SKF.
