L.. PUMP UNITS
• Only use HYTORC pump units. Do not modify the pump unit in any way.
• Do not use electric pumps in potentially volatile atmospheres. If in doubt, use a pneumatic pump unit. Metal-on-
metal contact can cause sparks. Take appropriate additional measures.
• Make sure that maximum operating pump pressure is under 10,000 PSI (700 bar).
• Make sure that the pump unit is properly grounded.
• Make sure pump is filled with HYTORC  AW hydraulic oil. Check local conditions to be sure hydraulic oil has
the correct ISO viscosity rating for your local climate. Do not mix different grades of oil.
• Make sure that the oil level is between MIN and MAX indicator. Use the oil level sight glasses to check level.
• Make sure that the oil filler cap is secure.
L.. HYDRAULIC HOSES
• Only use HYTORC hydraulic hoses. Do not modify hoses in any way.
• Make sure that all hoses are securely connected and are not kinked or twisted.
• Keep all hoses away from reaction points.
• Replace any damaged hoses immediately. Replace all hoses at least every three years.
L.. REACTION ARMS
• Only use HYTORC reaction arms. Do not modify reaction arms in any way.
• Place reaction arm against a solid reaction point that can handle the load.
• Make sure that at least 0.5” (12 mm) of reaction arm contacts the reaction point.
• Make sure that the reaction arm is locked onto the spline of the tool.
• Do not place the reaction arm against a round or inclined reaction point.
• Do not place any part of your body between the reaction arm and the reaction point.
