HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WARNING SHEET
OBSERVE ALL MAXIMUM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE WARN-
INGS AND DECAL FOR THIS MACHINE.
SETTINGS HIGHER THAN POSTED PRESSURES MAY RESULT IN
DEATH, SEVERE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
In many instances we have learned that the hydraulic relief valves of this equipment have been
reset, thereby increasing the maximum pressures and, with this, the load the unit will lift before
the relief valve opens. In some instances, the consequences of increasing this setting have been
serious. The function of the relief valve is to provide a fuse action to protect the machine and
the operator from overloading. When overloaded, different portions of the machine can become
stressed to a level at which parts fracture, possibly resulting in death, severe injury or property
damage. Resetting hydraulic pressures above factory settings is an extremely dangerous
practice.
Accordingly, you are advised that the settings of these valves are limited to the maximum listed
above. Pressure settings in excess of this level render each and all Pettibone Michigan
warranties null and void, and constitute an obvious misuse and abuse of our product.
Pettibone Michigan, L.L.C.
