flammable gases. This may lead to fire or an explosion.
u Never work in an environment with highly flammable
substances.
u Make sure that there are no hidden sources of gas in
the work area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Dust-rich air can form an explosive atmosphere which
may ignite when operating the Hydro Magnet. This may
lead to fire or an explosion.
u Never use the Hydro Magnet in an explosive atmos-
phere.
u Always provide sufficient ventilation when working in
buildings or in a confined area.
2.11 Hydraulic installation,
precautions
WARNING Hydraulic pressure too high
If the hydraulic pressure is too high, the parts of the hy-
draulic attachment will be exposed to excessively high
loads. Parts can break loose or burst causing serious in-
juries.
u Lay the drain line of the pressure relief valve directly
in the tank to ensure the safe functioning of the pres-
sure relief valve!
u The pressure relief valve must be set at the maxi-
mum static pressure.
u The pressure relief valve setting must be checked to
ensure that the maximum static pressure (see chap-
ter Technical specifications) of the hydraulic instal-
lation is not exceeded at any time. Attach a lead seal
to the pressure relief valve.
u Prior to their first use, the safety facilities on the hy-
draulic installation must be checked by a profes-
sional/authorised monitoring body for their quality
(CE mark etc.), suitability and proper functioning.
u If any significant changes are made to the hydraulic
installation, a new acceptance inspection is to be
carried out in accordance with the relevant national
safety provisions.
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Hydraulic
lines may spring a leak or burst. Hydraulic oil squirting
out can lead to serious injury.
u When attaching the hydraulic attachment do not
route any hydraulic lines through the carrier's cab.
u Only use hydraulic lines which comply with the fol-
lowing quality requirements:
- For the function generator on/off
- Hydraulic hoses with 4 reinforcement steel wires
according to DINEN856 4SH,
- Hydraulic pipes, seamless cold-drawn steel pipes
according to DINEN10305
- For the function magnet plate on/off
- Hydraulic hoses with 2 steel plaitings according to
