BVA Hydraulics J72101 - Manual (Page 4)

! WARNING
Failure to comply with the following warnings
may result in personal injury as well as
property damage.
• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on this
device before use.
• The user must be a qualified operator familiar
with the correct operation, maintenance, and use
of cylinders.
Wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
This device is nOT suitable for use as
support device! As the load is lifted, use
blocking and cribbing to guard against a
falling load. Stay clear of a lifted load before it
is properly supported. Never rely on hydraulic pressure
to support a load.
Crush Hazard. Keep hands and
feet away from cylinder and
workpiece during operation.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the
cylinder or any equipment in the system.
The cylinder is designed for a max.
pressure of 10,000 psi.
• Do not connect a cylinder to a pump with higher
pressure rating.
• Do not subject cylinder to a shock loads, a load
dropped suddenly, causing the system pressure to
exceed rated pressure.
The system operating pressure must
not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest
rated component in the system. Install a
pressure gauge or other load measuring instrument to
monitor the operating pressure. Burst hazard exists if
hose, connection or any other component in the system
exceed its rated pressure.
Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Do not
allow hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or
bend so tightly that fluid flow within the hose
is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose
for wear.
Do not pull, position or move cylinder setup
by the hose. Use carrying handle or other
means of safe transport.
Do not handle pressurized hoses. Never
attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized
hose. Ensure to release the system pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic hose or connections.
Hydraulic fluid can ignite and burn. Keep
hydraulic equipment away from flames and
heat. Excessive heat will soften seals,
resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose
materials.
Cylinder must be on a stable base which is
able to support the load while pushing or
lifting. Use shims, friction material or constrains
to prevent slippage of the base or load. Ensure
cylinder is fully engaged into/onto adapters, extension
accessories.
Center load on cylinder. Distribute load
evenly across the entire saddle surface. Do
not off-center loads on a cylinder. The load
can tip or the cylinder can “kick out”.
Never try to disassemble a hydraulic
cylinder, refer repairs to qualified, authorized
personal. Contact Omega tech service for
authorized service center.
Do not subject hose to sharp objects or
heavy impact.
Hose material or seals must not come in
contact with corrosive materials such as
battery acid, creosote-impregnated objects
and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose.
• No alteration shall be made to the cylinder.
• Use only factory authorized fasteners,
accessories and hydraulic fluid.
