RAM USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the ram. Use the correct
ram for your application. The correct
ram will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it is designed. Do
not force the ram and do not use the
ram for a purpose for which it is not
intended.
2. Store idle rams out of reach of
children and other untrained persons.
Rams are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
3. Maintain rams with care. Keep
rams clean. Properly maintained
rams are less likely to bind, break or
malfunction. Do not use a damaged
ram. Tag damaged rams “Do not use”
until repaired.
4. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the ram’s operation. If damaged,
have the ram serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained rams.
5. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one ram may become
hazardous when used on another
ram.
9. If lifting, support load properly when
nished.
10. Follow hydraulic pump instructions.
11. Do not use for aircraft purposes.
