WARNING
:
EXCESSIVE CONTACT WITH HYDRAULIC OIL AND LUBRICANTS SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
WARNING:
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
MUST
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
WARNING:
DISPOSE OF HYDRAULIC OIL IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO YOUR AREA.
WARNING
:
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.
WARNING
:
WHEN
TIGHTENING OR LOOSENING HYDRAULIC HOSES, USE A 9/16” WRENCH TO HOLD THE
HYDRAULIC FITTING TO PREVENT THE STEEL TUBE FROM TWISTING. TWISTING THE STEEL
TUBE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE AT WELDED JOINTS.
WARNING:
BE SURE POWERUNIT IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING, OR WHEN REPLACING WORN OR
DAMAGED COMPONENTS. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR IF POWER SOURCE IS NOT
DISCONNECTED.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal requirements for ser-
vice and care will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use a hydraulic power source equipped with relief valves and pressures set within specified lim
its. Consult Powerunit Manual for procedure to set PULL and RETURN pressures.
*Keep hydraulic system free of dirt. Avoid letting couplers contact a dirty floor.
*Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
*Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing down time.
*
Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if
necessary).

HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
WARNING
:
WHEN
TIGHTENING OR LOOSENING HYDRAULIC HOSES, USE A 9/16” WRENCH TO HOLD THE
HYDRAULIC FITTING TO PREVENT THE STEEL TUBE FROM TWISTING. TWISTING THE STEEL
TUBE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE AT WELDED JOINTS.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe
dope is recommended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer, however, if it is not
properly applied, pieces of Teflon may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage.
Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread. Cut off all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and
then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over tightening can easily distort the threads.
