Safety Precautions

Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.

These safety precautions are given for your safety. Re- view them carefully before operating the tool and before performing general maintenance or repairs.

Supervising personnel should develop additional pre- cautions relating to the specific work area and local safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided in this manual.

The IP16 Hydraulic Intensifier will provide safe and de- pendable service if operated in accordance with the in- structions given in this manual. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hoses before operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

•Operator must start in a work area without bystand- ers. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and danger- ous terrain conditions.

•Establish a training program for all operators to en- sure safe operation.

•Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor.

•Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear, head protection, and safety shoes at all times when operating the tool.

•Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.

•Inlet and outlet hydraulic hoses must be capable of

10,000/700 bar working pressure. They must be fit- ted with hose guards at each end to help prevent kinks and sharp bends near the fittings. If these re- quirements are not met, replace the hoses imme- diately with the correct type before operating the intensifier.

•Be sure all hose connections are tight and inspect hoses for correct pressure rating and for kinks, cuts swelled areas and damage from abrasion. Replace if necessary.

•Check that all fittings, connectors and quick discon- nects are rated at 10,000 psi/700 bar working pres- sure and that they are in good working condition. Replace any improper or damaged components be- fore operating the intensifier.

•Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above 140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher oil temperatures can cause operator discomfort and may damage the tool.

•Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or incompletely assembled tool.

•Do not operate the intensifier unless both high-pres- sure hoses are connected.

•To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained per- sonnel.

•Do not attempt to locate hydraulic leaks by feeling around hoses and fittings with bare hands. Pinhole leaks can penetrate the skin. To inspect for leaks, depressurize the system, clean around suspected area, repressurize the system and visually check for leaks.

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

•Always replace parts with replacement parts recom- mended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools.

•Avoid using tightly curled or twisted hoses.
