Stanley Black & Decker BR87 user manual Tool Protection & Care

•Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before con- nection.

•The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling hydrau- lic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couples and cause overheating of the hy- draulic system.

•Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.

•Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port. The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not reverse cir- cuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.

•Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a mini- mum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.

•Do not exceed the rated flow and pressure. See Specifications in this manual for correct flow rate and pressure rating. Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.

•Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags legible.

•Do not force a small breaker to do the job of a large breaker.

•Keep tool bit sharp for maximum breaker perfor- mance. Make sure that tool bits are not chipped or rounded on the striking end.

•Never operate a breaker without a tool bit or without holding it against the work surface. This puts exces- sive strain on the breaker foot.

•Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.

•Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.

•Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.
