2.0 SAFETY
Make sure to read the instructions, warnings and precautions carefully. Follow any recommended safety precautions
to avoid personal injury or damage to the unit. Simplex cannot be responsible for any damage or injury from unsafe
use, lack of maintenance or incorrect operation. In the event any questions or concerns arise, contact SIMPLEX or a
local Distributor for clarication.
The pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm
2
). Make
sure that all tools used with this pump are rated at 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm
2
)
operating pressure.
If you have never been trained on high-pressure hydraulic safety, consult
your distributor or service center for a free Simplex Hydraulic Safety Course.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage, property damage or
personal injury.
DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even death.
WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to prevent damage
to, or destruction of equipment, or other property.
WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear when operating hydraulic equipment.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away from tool and work-piece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury.
The tools are designed for a maximum pressure of 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm
2
). Do not connect a tool to a pump with a
higher pressure rating. Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in
the system. Install pressure gauges in the system to monitor operating pressure. It is your window to what is
happening in the system.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a
bent or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose, leading
to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hose or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or other means
of safe transport.
CAUTION: Keep hydraulic equipment away from ames and heat. Excessive heat will soften seals, resulting in uid
leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to temperatures of
65° C (170° F) or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
DANGER: Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
DANGER: Only use hydraulic tools in a coupled system. Never use a tool with unconnected couplers. If the cylinder
becomes severely overloaded, components can fail catastrophically causing severe personal injury or death.
