EQUIPMENT PROTECTION AND CARE
0038
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.
The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the OFF position when coupling or uncoupling hydraulic tools. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
3.
Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.
4.
Ensure the circuit pressure hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the IN port. The circuit return hose (with
female quick disconnect) is connected to the 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 use the tool for applications it was not designed for.
7.
Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.
8.
Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.
9.
Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.
