Home  Useful information  Instructions to operate with safety INSTRUCTIONS TO OPERATE WITH SAFETY USING CYLINDERS, FLEX PIPES AND POMPS Following the least precautions of employment and maintenance to which the employer must carry out   Cylinders - To create constantly a steady support at the base of the cylinder. For a greater stability, the accessories employ is recommended, if furnished. - Do never use without head the equipped cylinders that avoid damages of the stem. The heads share uniformly the load on the stem. - To assure that the two zones on which the cylinder develops its power, have to be sufficiently solid and crushproof. - The cylinder head has to be adherent to the load and the cylinder movement must be always in axle to the load movement. - To avoid the loads lifting out axle that could irreparably damage the stem of the cylinder. The employ of a self-balance head allows a load relaxation of of ± 5°. - Don't operate in proximity of the load borne by the cylinders. - Put back the oleo dynamic equipment distant from the heat sources of higher temperature than 65°C (150°F) - To avoid an excessive speedy of piston return still burdened by the load. An abrupt interruption of the re-enter stroke produces damaging pressure hits into the oleo dynamic circuit. - Don't submit the components to a superior load than the nominal one. To ever use the manometer to verify the pressure system. - For the maintenance in loading position ,further to entrust to the pump valve or the switchboard, you can use a piloted valve of non- return. In case of load support for long time, it is better to choose a version with safety ferrule. - Do never place parts of the body under the load: This must always have supported by a safety mechanical support. - Don't overcome in any case the maximum operating pressure indicated for every series of cylinders. Flexible pipes for oleo dynamic     - To place the flexible pipes distant from the zone below the load to avoid the accidental track. in addition it is better to protect them from the threading and from the fall of heavy objects. - Don't use the flexible pipes to lift the oleo dynamic components. - Before connecting semi-joints and inserts to assure yourself that they are clean carefully. To use the anti-dust hood when the inserts are not connected. - Disconnect the cylinder only when the stem is re-entered completely. - Don't fold up the flexible pipes. The curvature ray doesn't have to be lower than 70 mms. Pumps - To fill the pump up to the suitable level and only when the connected cylinder is completely re-entered. - Not use extension for the lever in the manual pumps. Their start is simple if you operate correctly. - It is necessary to use exclusively the suitable hydraulic oil in the Use and Maintenance Manuals. The characteristics of viscosity and lubrication chosen by the Builder, guarantee the maximum application efficiency ,a greater equipments life and the gasket integrity. - The temperature of the hydraulic fluid shouldn’t overcome the 60°C. N.B. It recommends you to read carefully the instructions and the safety norms that all products follow.
