Parts List & Operating Instructions Form No. 538016, Sheet 1 of 4, Back
Safety Precautions
WARNING : To prevent personal injury and equipment damage,
• Read, understand, and follow all safety precautions and operating instructions included
with this pump. If the operator cannot read these instructions, operating instructions and
safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator's native language. Only
qualied operators should install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, repair, or transport
this equipment.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Before operating the pump, tighten hose connections using the correct tools. Do not
overtighten; connections should be secure and leak free. Overtightening connections
may cause premature thread failure, or high pressure ttings to split at pressures lower
that their rated capacities.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE PUMP AND RELEASE ALL PRESSURE. Never attempt to grasp a leaking,
pressurized hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid could cause
serious injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard, such as re, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or cold, or
heavy impact. Do not allow the hose to be altered, kinked, twisted, curled, crushed, cut, or bent
so tightly that the uid ow within the hose is blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose
for wear, because any of these conditions can damage the hose and result in personal injury.
• Do not use the hose to move attached equipment. Stress can damage the hose and cause personal
injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used. Hoses must not
come in contact with corrosive materials, such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints.
Consult the manufacturer before painting a hose. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials
can result in personal injury. Never paint couplers.
• Inspect the pump for wear, damage, and correct function before each use. Repair or replace parts
as necessary. Replace worn or damaged safety decals.
• Modication of this pump requires written OTC authorization; contact OTC Technical Services.
• When assembling a system, use components having the same pressure rating as the pump. Do
not exceed the hydraulic pressure rating noted on the pump data plate, or tamper with the internal
high pressure relief valve. Creating pressure beyond the rating can result in personal injury.
• Before replenishing the uid level, completely retract the system to prevent overlling the pump
reservoir. An overll can cause personal injury due to excess reservoir pressure created when the
cylinders are retracted.
• Shut off and disconnect the air supply when the pump is not in use, or before breaking any
connections in the system.
