NOTE
In addition to the WARNINGs in this work package, observe the following for equipment
protection and care.
1.
Ensure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.
2.
Hydraulic circuit control valve must be in OFF position when coupling or uncoupling hydraulic tools. Failure to do so
may result in damage to quick couplers and cause overheating of hydraulic system.
3.
Always store tool in clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.
4.
Ensure circuit pressure hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to IN port. Circuit return hose (with female quick
disconnect) is connected to opposite port. Do not reverse circuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.
5.
Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags legible.
6.
Do not force small breaker to do job of large breaker.
7.
Use sharp tool bit for maximum breaker performance. Ensure that tools bits are not chipped or rounded on striking end.
8.
Never operate breaker without tool bit or without holding it against work surface. This puts excessive strain on breaker
foot.
9.
