WARNING

!


The velocity fuse (VF) must be properly installed!
The VF is attached
to the elbow fitting in the rod port of the cylinder. If the VF is installed
improperly, it will not lock the carriage in place in the event of a
catastrophic hydraulic line break!

WARNING

!


Do not over travel!
Mechanical stops must be in place to prevent the
carriage from over traveling. Over-traveling can cause permanent damage
to the carriage or failure of the lifting cables.

WARNING!


Attach velocity fuse with solid fitting!
Do not use a swivel fitting
between the velocity fuse and the cylinder. If accidentally broken at the
swivel, the velocity fuse will not prevent the carriage from falling to the
floor.

CAUTION!


Do not attempt cylinder removal alone!
Be aware that removing a
cylinder requires two people.
