1.1 Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in death or serious personal
injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Read and completely understand the safety
precautions and instructions in this manual before
operating the SHS or preparing it for use. Always
follow all safety precautions and instructions,
including those that are contained within the
procedures of this manual.
• Always wear protective head-wear, ear protectors,
footwear and gloves (at a minimum rigger type
gloves) suitable for safe operation of the tool.
The protective clothing must not interfere with
safe operation of the tool or restrict the ability to
communicate with co-workers.
• Be sure your workplace is safe. Follow the
instructions in your workplace’s standard
operating procedures and be sure to observe all
communicated safety precautions.
• Ensure all hydraulic components are rated to a safe
working pressure of 700 bar (10150 psi).
• Do not remove or disable the pump relief valve.
• The system operating pressure must not exceed
the pressure rating of the lowest rated component
in the system.
• Never set a relief valve to a higher pressure than
the maximum rated pressure of the SHS. If ratings
are different, relief valve setting should not exceed
the setting of the lowest rated component (pump
or cylinder).
• Do not overload equipment. Never attempt to move
a load with higher weight than the maximum load
value of the SHS. Overloading causes equipment
failure and possible personal injury.
• Always perform a visual inspection of the SHS
before placing it into operation. If any problems are
found, do not use the cylinder. Have the cylinder
repaired and tested before it is returned to service.
• Never use a cylinder that is leaking oil. Do not use
the SHS if is damaged, altered or in need of repair.
• Always lift the cylinder using a crane or other
suitable lifting device of sufficient rated capacity.
Use only the 4 hoisting eyes on the SHS frame to
attach the cylinder to the lifting device.
• Allow only trained and experienced personnel
to supervise and perform lifting and lowering
procedures.
• Be sure the operator has completed safety induction
training, specific to the work surroundings. The
operator should be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the tool.
• Be certain that no persons are working on or near
the SHS before moving of the load begins. Alert all
personnel in advance that the procedure is about
to occur.
