Print PageSAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
!
For your safety read all instructions, cautions, and warnings carefully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid
personal injury or property damage. American Forge & Foundry will not be responsible for damage or injury
resulting from unsafe product use, lack of maintenance, or incorrect product and/or system operation.
•
Stay clear of loads supported by hydraulic means. A cylinder when used as a load lifting device
should never be used as a load holding device. After the load has been raised it must always be
supported by mechanical means.
•
Do not exceed rated capacity of 10 tons. Overloading can cause equipment failure and personal
injury. The cylinders are designed for maximum pressure of 10,000 PSI. Do not connect a jack or
cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure rating.
•
The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component
in the system. Install and use pressure gauges to monitor operating pressure accurately.
•
Only use hydraulic cylinders in a coupled system. Never use a cylinder with unconnected couplers.
•
Be sure setup is stable before lifting load. Cylinders should be placed on a flat surface that can
support the load. Where applicable use a cylinder base for added stability. Do not weld or
otherwise modify the cylinder to attach a base or other support.
•
Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on the cylinder plunger. Off-center loads
produce considerable strain on cylinders and plungers. Loads may slip or fall and personal
or property damage may result.
•
Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine AFF parts.
•
To avoid personal injury keep hands and feet away from cylinder and work piece during operation.
•
NEVER set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury. Do not remove relief valve.
•
Do not hold pressurized hoses by hand.
•
Using a bent or kinked hose will lead to backpressure and will result in internal damage to the housing.
•
Do not drop objects on hose.
•
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hose or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or other
means of safe transport.
•
Keep hydraulic equipment away from heat and open flame.
•
Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a qualified hydraulic technician. For a local repair
depot contact American Forge & Foundry.
