STOP!

FLUSH TANK BEFORE USING: Minor scaling or debris may be present inside the tank due to the

manufacturing process. It is recommended that the reservoir be flushed or rinsed out and allowed to dry prior to use or

installation.

INSPECT COMPONENTS: Closely inspect to make sure tank, breather cap, drain plug and oil gauge are not damaged or

missing. If you have damaged components, contact the Freight Company that delivered the unit and file a claim. If you have

missing components, contact Customer Service at 1-800-521-0438.

WARNING

READ and UNDERSTAND this information completely before using hydraulic reservoir.

All operators of this equipment must read and completely understand all safety information and usage instructions. Failure to

comply with this information could result in serious injury to the operator and bystanders or damage to equipment.

Do Not use this unit in applications where more than 75% of the hydraulic fluid is purged from the hydraulic reservoir or with a

cylinder storing a larger oil reserve than the hydraulic reservoir.

Do Not attempt to add more hydraulic fluid during operation to extend the hydraulic capacity.

Ensure all components in the hydraulic system are appropriately sized and rated for the application.

Do Not touch the exterior of the reservoir. It can become hot during operation.

ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.

High Pressure Hydraulic Fluid Hazards

Check the hydraulic system (hoses, tubing, clamps/fittings, pump, and cylinders) carefully before each use. Do not operate the

hydraulic system with frayed, kinked, cracked, or damaged hydraulic hoses, fittings, or tubing, or if oily residue is observed on

any of the components. High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic fluid escaping

through a pinhole sized opening can burn or puncture skin, resulting in wounds that could cause blood poisoning, infection,

disability, gangrene, amputation, or death. Therefore, the following instructions should be heeded at all times when inspecting

or servicing hydraulic equipment.

 Always make sure the engine/motor is off before servicing the hydraulic system. In addition, disconnect spark plug/power

supply and relieve system pressure before changing or adjusting hydraulic system components such as hoses, tubing,

fittings, or other components.

 Never remove the hydraulic fill cap while in operation. Hot oil can escape, causing severe burns. Allow hydraulic

system to cool completely before removing hydraulic oil fill cap.

 NEVER check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by holding a piece of cardboard or wood (at least two feet

long) with your hand at one end and passing the other end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look for

discoloration of the cardboard or wood.

 If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a

small wound that does not look serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not

administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
