Tool Protection & Care

NOTICE

In addition to the Safety Precautions found in this manual, observe the following for equipment protection and 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 couplers and cause overheating of the hy- draulic system.

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

•Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley

Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses to the intensifier must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar. Supply hoses from the intensifier to the tool couplings and other high-pressure parts, must have a minimum working pressure rating of 10,000 psi/700 bar.

•All hoses must have an oil resistant inner surface and an abrasion resistant outer surface. Whenever near electrical conductors, use clean hoses labeled and certified non-conductive.

•Never allow the working pressure of the intensifier or tool to exceed 10,000 psi/690 bar.

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

•Make sure that the compression tool, cutter, etc. to be operated is rated at 10,000 psi/690 bar. If other than 10,000 psi/700 bar, the intensifier relief valve must be adjusted to the pressure for the tool being operated.

•Operate the intensifier within its rated capacity.

•Do not use the intensifier for applications for which it was not designed.

•Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.

•Never connect or disconnect couplers or port con- nections with hydraulic pressure in the hose.

•Always check high-pressure couplers for leaks and damage before operating the system at maximum rated pressure.

•When the intensifier is not in use, attach thread pro- tectors and install valve caps.
