elements, abrasive dust, and damage. This cylinder
should be stored in the vertical position.
WARNING
!
! DANGER !
• If oil leakage is detected, discontinue use of the cylinder immediately and contact your nearest ATD Hydraulics Authorized Service Center. The cylinder could
develop excessive pressure and cause the cylinder,
hose or coupler to burst which could cause serious
injury or death.
• When loading a cylinder, always insure that coupler,
port, and adapter threads have not been damaged.
Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
• Avoid off-center loads. Loading off center may damage the cylinder and cause loss of load which may
cause serious injury or death.
• Control the load at all times. Do not drop the load.
Threads may shear and cause loss of the load, which
may cause serious injury or death.
!
• All WARNING statements must be carefully observed
to help prevent personal injury. Do not exceed rated
cylinder pressure. Monitor pressure and load at all
times. Always verify load with calibrated load cell and
indicator, known good pressure gauge or equivalent
devices. Wear protective clothing and safety goggles
to reduce the risk of injection. Wear appropriate
shoes. Do not wear sandals when operating this equipment. Do not wear jewelry when operating this equipment.
Wear protective clothing and safety goggles to reduce the risk of injection.
Hydraulic Hoses and Fluid Transmission Lines
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line
runs do not provide for expansion and contraction due
to pressure and/or temperature changes.
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should
be supported by brackets or clips. Before operating
the pump, all hose connections must be tightened
with the proper tools. Do not overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely and leak-free.
Overtightening can cause premature thread failure or
high pressure fittings to burst.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to
be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and
release all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. The force of
escaping hydraulic fluid can inflict injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as
fire, sharp surfaces, extreme heat or cold, or heavy
impact.

WARNING
WARNING
!
• Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut
or bend so tightly that the fluid flow within the hose is
blocked or reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for
wear, because any of these conditions can damage
the hose and possibly result in personal injury.
• Do not pull, position or move setup by the hose. Doing so can damage the hose and possibly cause personal injury.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible
with hydraulic fluid used. Hoses also must not come
in contact with corrosive materials such as battery
acid, creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint.
Hose deterioration due to corrosive material can result in personal injury. Never paint a coupler or hose.
• The user must be a qualified operator familiar with the
correct operation, maintenance, and use of cylinders.
Lack of knowledge in any of these areas can lead to
personal injury.
• Read and understand all safety and warning decals
and instructions.
• Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic fluid. Hoses, seals and all components used in a
system must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid
used.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the cylinder. Excess pressure can result in personal injury.
• Inspect each cylinder and coupler before each use to
prevent unsafe conditions from developing.
• Do not use cylinders if they are damaged, altered or
in poor condition.
• Do not use cylinders with bent or damaged coupler or
damaged threads.
• Under certain conditions, the use of an extension with
a hydraulic cylinder may not be advisable and could
present a dangerous condition.
• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be created by the load or parts of cylinder.
• To help prevent material
fatigue if the cylinder is to
be used in a continuous
application, the load
should not exceed 85% of
the rated capacity.
• Cylinder must be on a
stable base which is able
to support the load while
pushing or lifting.
• Ensure cylinder is fully
engaged into/onto adapt-
ers, extension accessories.
Center loads on cylinder
• To help prevent personal injury, use shims, friction material or constraints to prevent slippage of the base or
load.
• Do not off-center loads on a cylinder. The load can tip
or the cylinder can "kick out" and cause personal injury.
• Do not use the locking collar on threaded piston as a
stop. The threads may shear resulting in loss of the
load.
• Do not create an overload condition where force exerted by one cylinder will intensify downward force on
another cylinder.
• If this component is used to lift or lower loads, be
certain that the load is under operator control at all
times and that others are clear of the load. Do not
drop the load.
• As the load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing to guard
against a falling load.
• Never allow personnel to work on, under or around a
load before it is properly supported by appropriate mechanical means. Never rely on hydraulic pressure alone
to support load.
• All personnel must be clear before lowering.
• Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, Refer
repairs to qualified, authorized personnel.
IMPORTANT
• Keep cylinder clean at all times.
• When the cylinder is not is use, keep the ram(s) fully
retracted.
• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to
seal all hydraulic connections. Teflon tape can be used
if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully (two threads back) to prevent the tape from being
introduced into hydraulic system. A piece of tape could
travel through the system and obstruct the flow of fluid
and adversely affect function.
• Never attach ANY component not authorized by manufacturer.
• Never use other than factory provided and/or authorized fasteners.
KNOW YOUR SYSTEM
Your cylinder, hose(s), couplings and pump all must be
rated for the same maximum operating pressure, correctly connected and compatible with the hydraulic fluid
used. An improperly matched system can cause the system to fail and possibly cause serious injury. If you are in
doubt, consult your nearest ATD Hydraulics Dealer.

SET UP
Remove thread protectors (dust cap) from hydraulic connections/ports. Clean the areas around the fluid ports of
the pump and cylinder. Inspect all threads and fittings for
signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed. Clean
all threads and fittings. Connect all hose assemblies to
the pump and cylinder. Use an approved, high-grade pipe
sealant to seal all hydraulic connections. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
MAINTENANCE
Due to superior materials and manufacturing processes, there is little maintenance required of this
product. This fact does not preclude operators responsibility to inspect each cylinder thoroughly before each use.
