Safety Recommendations - SKF HMV Série Mode D'emploi

As high pressures/forces constitute a potential safety risk, the following
instructions must be considered:
• Only trained personnel should operate the equipment.
• Always follow the operating instructions.
• Check the hydraulic nut and all accessories carefully before use. Never
use even slightly damaged components.
• Make sure all air has been removed from the hydraulic system, before
putting the equipment under pressure.
• Do not use the hydraulic nut for applications other than mounting/
dismounting bearings.
• 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).
• Do not exceed the maximum permitted piston displacement.
• Use protective goggles.
• Never modify the unit.
• Use original parts only.
• Only use clean, recommended hydraulic oils (e.g. SKF LHMF 300, or similar).
• Nuts should be lifted and handled in accordance with safe working
practices and local regulations.
• Steel lifting cables should not be directly applied to the nut, as they could
damage the nut threads.
• Eye bolt(s), where provided, must be properly fitted.
• In case of any uncertainties regarding the use of the hydraulic nut,
contact SKF.
