BVA Hydraulics PA600, PA600H, PA1500, PA1500A, PA1500B, PA2000, PA3801 - Manual (Page 2)

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 10,000 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.
