i. Safety Information
As with any powered industrial equipment, when installing, operating, or servicing a Hawk actuator the
technician or operator needs to be aware of potential safety risks prior to performing any operation.
Hawk actuators contain hydraulic fluids under high pressure, hazardous electrical voltage, and can
develop large forces. In addition, some units may have stored energy devices which must be taken into
account when setting up, operating and servicing these particular units. It is highly recommended that
the operator fully familiarizes themselves with this manual and its procedures prior to performing any
operation on the Hawk actuator.
Attention
Important information follows. Material should be reviewed prior to proceeding.

protection equipment and suitable clothing must be worn. Be sure to never place any part of
your body in an area that presents a crush or pinch point hazard.

High voltage levels are present in the control enclosure. Extreme caution must be taken when
performing electrical work. It is highly advised that qualified technicians install and service any
