THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of Portable Hydraulic Power Kits is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the
exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. The versatility of use is limited only by the imagination and ingenuity of its operator;
therefore Sunex cannot be responsible for product damage or personal injury due to faulty operator judgement or improper use of the kit.
It is essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of the kit who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe
operation of the kit and its proper use when working on vehicle frames and body parts. Examples of hazards are dropping or slipping of
load, caused by improperly securing loads, overloading, off centered loads, and improper setups. Additional hazards may be caused by the
rupture or bursting of the hydraulic hoses and related fittings due to abuse, misuse, improper setup and using the kit for a purpose for which
it was not intended.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• The kit owner is responsible for the kit being used in accordance with OSHA, state, and local safety standards.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards (users and bystanders).
• Do not exceed the rated capacity. When attachments and adapters are used with the kit, the rated capacity of the kit shall be no greater
than the rated capacity of the lowest rated component or combination of components that makes up the kit. Please refer to the Owner's
Manual section titled APPLYING FORCE for typical applications and corresponding load capacities.
USE THE FORCE GAUGE INCLUDED IN THIS KIT TO MONITOR CORRECT LOAD CAPACITIES.
Wedge Rams are rated at 1 ton capacity.
Rubber Heads are rated at 1/2 ton capacity in the 4 ton kit and 1 ton capacity in the 10 ton kit.
• Do not overextend the rams.
• When using extension tubes, position the shortest tube farthest away from the cylinder.
• Attachments and extension tubes must be aligned and fully engaged so the ram force is straight and avoids off-center load conditions.
• Before operating tighten all hose, gauge and manifold connections so they are secure and leak free. Do not over tighten or it may cause
premature thread failure or split pressure fittings. Tighten all hose quick disconnect fittings by hand only.
• Do not subject the hose to extreme heat or cold, sharp surfaces, abrasion, impact, kinking, twisting, curling, bending or any condition that
restricts or affects fluid flow.
• Make sure setup is stable and secure before performing any work.
• Use this kit for the intended purpose of vehicle body/frame repair only.
• Only components supplied with this kit shall be used with this kit.
