Before Use - Omega 55101 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Manual De Piezas

BEFORE USE

Use Fig 1 as reference.
1. Ensure that product and application are compatible.
2. Check to ensure that all parts of your pump are included (see illustration and parts list).
3. Carefully remove the dust caps and plugs from hose coupler and ram coupler.
4. Connect hose coupler to accessory coupler, ensure that there are no fluid leaks.
5. Locate and open release valve. Pump handle a few strokes to purge air from system. Close release valve and
pump handle until ram is fully extended, then open release valve until ram has fully retracted.
• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on
this device before use.
• All WARNING statements must be
carefully observed to help prevent
personal injury.
• No alteration shall be made to this
device.
• Always wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away
from flames and heat. Hydraulic fluid
can ignite and burn. Do not operate
if leaks are detected.
• Crush Hazard. Keep hands and
feet away from loading area. Avoid
pinch points or crush points that can
be created by the load, cylinder, or
any equipment of system.
• To avoid crushing and related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or around
a lifted load before it is properly
supported by appropriate mechanical
means. Never rely on hydraulic
pressure alone to support load.
HYDRAULIC PUMPS
• The user must be a qualified operator familiar with the
correct operation, maintenance, and use of pumps.
Lack of knowledge in any of these areas can lead to
personal injury.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the pump or any
equipment in the system.
• Never attempt to lift a load weighing more than the
capacity of the cylinder.
• Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure
exceeds rated pressure.
• Inspect pump, cylinder, hoses and connections before
each use to prevent unsafe conditions from developing.
Do not use if they are damaged, altered or in poor
condition. Do not operate the system with bent or
damaged coupler or damaged threads.
• Never hold or stand directly in line with any hydraulic
connections while pressurizing.
• Use gauge or other load measuring instrument to verify
load.
• Never attempt to disconnect hydraulic connections
under pressure. Release all line pressure before
disconnecting hoses.
• Do not subject the pump and its components to shock
loads.
WARNING
!
• Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic
fluid.
• Never attach ANY component not authorized by
manufacturer.
• Always ensure that the chosen application is stable
to work on and around.
• Do not connect to application which can return more
oil to the reservoir than the pump reservoir can hold.
• Do not connect pump to hydraulic system powered by
another pump.
• This device is not suitable for use as support device!
As the system load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing
to guard against a falling load.
• All personnel must be clear before lowering load or
depressurizing the system.
• Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, refer
repairs to qualified, authorized personnel.
HYDRAULIC HOSES & FLUID TRANSMISSION LINES
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line
runs do not provide for expansion and contraction
due to pressure and/or temperature changes.
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should
be supported by brackets or clips. Before operating
the pump, tighten all hose connections with proper
tools. Do not overtighten. Connections should only
be tightened securely and leak-free. Overtightening
can cause premature thread failure or high pressure
fittings to burst.
• 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 fluid can inflict injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as
fire, sharp objects, extreme heat or cold, or heavy
impact.
• Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut
or bend so tightly that the fluid flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for
wear.
• Do not pull, position or move setup by the hose.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible
with hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not come
in contact with corrosive materials such as battery
acid, creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint.
Never paint a coupler or hose.
• FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.
