Specific safety warnings
4.1 Electronic safety warnings
This machine is equipped with electronic parts and components which comply to
the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU but still may be influenced by electromagnetic
transmissions of other apparatus, such as welding machines, etc.
Check electric cables regularly for signs of breakage or wear. If in doubt
always replace.
Do not modify any safety circuits (faulty safety circuits will cause risks).
4.2 Hydraulic safety warnings
The maximum pressure in the hydraulic system of this machine should not
exceed 210 bar.
Always ensure the system is not under pressure before working on the
machine. Oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause injury. Beware
of pipes under accumulator pressure, depressurise lines by unthreading
connections extremely slowly.
Hydraulically actuated devices must be blocked mechanically against
movement, before working on the machine.
If any hoses are removed or replaced ensure they are marked and re-installed
to the correct position during re-assembly.
Check hoses monthly for signs of leakage or wear. Use a piece of card when
checking for leaks. Fine jets of hydraulic fluid can penetrate the skin. Never
use your fingers or face to check for leaks. If in doubt always replace. The
recommended maximum working time of hoses should not exceed 5 years.
Only use exact specification McHale genuine replacement parts.
As the ‘Cut and Hold’ is kept closed by gas accumulator pressure, it is
necessary to release this before removing the accumulator or working on the
hydraulic cylinder. Otherwise injury may occur. If in doubt entrust the job to
your McHale dealer.
Do not work on hydraulic systems unless you are qualified to do so. This work
should only be carried out by qualified persons or your McHale dealer.
