Safety
•
Make sure that the operator's instructions are always available to
anyone who uses the tool.
•
Anyone who uses the tool must be thoroughly familiar with the
instructions for use and with any relevant laws and regulations
concerning safety or the environment.
•
Always use personal protection equipment, covering overall,helmet
with visor or protective goggles, gloves etc.
•
Always keep one hand on the handle and the other on the control
valve (Fig. 7) when operating the tool.
•
Never work underneath a raised load without first securing it on
blocks or providing some other physical support.
•
Be aware of the risk that parts of the object you are working on
could slip or break loose and cause injury.
•
Beware of the risk of sparks if electric wires are cut off. Always start
the work by ensuring that the object is not connected to any electric
source.
•
Be aware of the risk of tripping over the hydraulic hoses that
•
connect the tool and pump.
•
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hydraulic hoses. If hydraulic pres-
sure is applied to a sharply bent hose it can lead to a sudden rise in
pressure that could damage the equipment.
•
Sharp bends or kinks in the hose can also cause internal damage to
the hose and unnecessary wear.
•
Take care if there are any hydraulic oil leaks. Hydraulic oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
•
Avoid putting strain on hoses, especially with sharp objects, and do
not drive over the hoses, etc.
•
Never lift or carry hydraulic components by their hoses or couplings.
Accessories
For safety reasons it is important that you only use accessories that have
been tested and approved by REHOBOT HYDRAULICS AB.
The tool can be fitted with the following accessories:
RT47 Shear tip
RT48 Chain attachment
Maintenance
To ensure correct operation of the tool it is important to carry out regular
maintenance. Carry out the following checks whenever you finish using
the tool.
•
Clean the tool.
•
Check that the pressure heads are undamaged. If the pressure
heads are chipped, replace them. The pressure head will still work
if it is chipped, but the stress concentration that this causes could
result in failure of the pressure head next time it is used.
•
Check that the tool works satisfactorily in both directions. Run the
tool up to maximum pressure and check that there are no oil leaks.
•
Check the quick couplings and dust caps.
For safety reasons it is important that servicing and repair work are car-
ried out by someone who is familiar with high-pressure hydraulic products.
Always use original REHOBOT parts to ensure compliance with the techni-
cal requirements of REHOBOT HYDRAULICS. Special tools are required to
carry out certain servicing/repair measures correctly.
Hydraulic oil that is drained (or leaks out) from the tool and compo-
nents and is replaced during servicing or repairs must be collected and
disposed of in accordance with the relevant environmental laws and
regulations.
