Safety regulations with respect to the operation of the system

• Make a risk assessment of the procedure before you start work (EN-ISO 12100).
• Keep bystanders at a distance and be extra careful in the vicinity of people and animals.
• Make sure the work area is clearly laid out and has good lighting.
• Avoid stress and work in a structured way. This reduces the risk of errors, combinations of dangers
and accidents.
• Before use, check the equipment for damage. Do not use the equipment if it is not in good condition
and consult your Holmatro dealer.
• Stand on a stable base and use both hands to hold the equipment.
• Hold the equipment only by its carrying handle. Never use any part of the hose as carrying handle.
• During operation, never get between the object and the equipment.
• Monitor the situation of the equipment and the structure continuously while using the equipment.
• Parts of an object that could fly off must be secured.
• Never couple or uncouple couplers while the system is under pressure.
• Use only genuine Holmatro accessories and ensure that they have been attached correctly.
• Make sure that parts of the body never come between moving parts. There is a risk that parts of the
body may be crushed or cut.
• Make sure that the deadman's handle does not become jammed.
• Stop immediately if the system makes strange noises or displays aberrant behavior.
• Stop immediately if the equipment leaks oil. Oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury. Go immediately to a hospital with a person who is injected with oil for medical
help. Give a specification of the oil to the medical staff.
• Return inactive equipment immediately to the tool station.
• Always adhere to the safety regulations that apply to other equipment that is used in the operation.
2.7

Safety regulations with respect to maintenance

• Wear personal means of protection when performing maintenance tasks.
• Never work in a way that could jeopardize safety.
• Make sure that the equipment cannot roll away or tip over. The control and drive must be switched
off and safeguarded against unexpected activation.
• Make sure that moving parts do not move unexpectedly.
• Used or leaked fluids, and any other products consumed during the activities, must be collected and
disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.
3 Description
3.1 Equipment
The ram is one of the pieces of rescue equipment that makes it possible to reach victims. This tool is
used during rescue operations to force structural elements or vehicle components apart. Rams come in
three models: single-sided, double-sided and telescopic. The telescopic model can reach a large
spreading length while remaining small enough to fit into confined spaces. Some rams have
interchangeable heads so that accessories for different purposes can be used. The ram is produced as
a hand tool that can be operated by one person. One or more hoses connect the tool to a pump. On one
or both sides there is a plunger with a grip head. A hydraulic cylinder makes this plunger move axially.
The high hydraulic pressure that is used means these tools can apply enormous forces.
