PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BVA Hydraulics Air Hydraulic Pumps are engineered to meet
most Industrial Standards for Performance and Safety. Its
unique hydraulic circuit
allows quick displacement of hydraulic
fluid under no load conditions and easy pumping in loaded
conditions. These air actuated pumps supply compressed
hydraulic fluid to compatible applications i.e. rams, presses,
spreaders, compactors and crimping machines, anywhere
that 12,000 PSI of fluid pressure is needed.
Special skill,
knowledge and training may be required for a specific task
and the product may not be suitable for all the jobs described
above. Unsuitable applications would include applications
that call for a device to move, level or support persons,
animals, hazardous materials, mobile homes/ dwellings in
general, mirrors and/or plate glass, and/or to connect/secure
hatches, components, etc. between bulkheads. The user
must ultimately make the decision regarding suitability of
the product for any given task and assume the responsibility
of safety for himself or herself and others in the work area.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or
property damage, ensure that the rated working pressure of
each pressurized attachment be equal to or greater than the
rated working pressure developed by the hydraulic pump.
WARNING: Always check connections before using.
Alteration of these products is strictly prohibited. Use only
those adapters and attachments provided and approved by
the manufacturer.
