Guidelines for Safe
Operation of
Hydraulic Equipment
Choose the proper size cylinder or hand jack so
that it is not lifting more than its rated load. If the weight
of the lifted load is unknown use a pressure gauge. and
do not exceed the rated working pressure. A decal
listing working pressure and lifting capacity is located on
every Force-Pak cylinder.
Choose the proper size pump, either hand or
power, so that the pump reservoir contains enough oil to
lift the plunger thru its full stroke. A decal listing usable
oil capacity of the pump reservoir is located on the
pump. A decal listing required oil capacity for full stroke
of the plunger is located on the cylinder.
Choose the proper volume pump. either hand
or power, to provide satisfactory cylinder speed. It the
pump is equipped with an externally adjustable relief
valve the pressure should be adjusted using a pressure
gauge,
and
by
following
the
manufacturers
recommended procedure. (Do not change the setting
of any Internal relief valve unless authored by the
manufacturer.) Information on pump pressure is on the
decal attached to the pump. Information on cylinder
operating pressure is on the decal attached to the
cylinder.
If an air driven pump is ing used m sure 4 is
connected to the prop pressure and volume of air and
that proper lubrication is provided in the air line.
Make sure that the lifting unit (cylinder or hand
jack) is firmly supported at the base, the load is properly
supported at the lifting point, and n tho lifting unit will not
Slip Or the lohd shift and overtum the lifting unit.
Never stand in a direct line with the application
of force or crawl under a load that is not blocked t0
prevent the load from falling.
After each use the equipment should be
inspected and tested to a minimum of 100% of rated
load. and any necessary repairs should be made by
qualified or a factory authorized service center.
For further information On safe operating procedure and
maintenance requirements consult the ANSI 830.1.1975
S Standards for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists,
Hooks, Jacks and Slings.
