For your safety!
Under certain circumstances, tube fittings can be subjected to extreme
loadings such as vibration and uncontrolled pressure peaks. Only by using
genuine Parker Components and following Parker assembly instructions can
you be assured of the reliability and safety of the products and their conformity
to the applicable standards.
Failure to follow this rule can adversely affect the functional safety and
reliability of products, cause personal injury, property damage, and result in
loss of your guarantee rights.

1. For your safety
Correct Use
Only use the KarryFlare for 37° tube flaring for hydraulic fittings which are specified
by the manufacturer. Any other application may be dangerous. The manufacturer is
not liable for damage resulting from improper use or operation.
Technical Safety
Before setting up and transport of the machine, read the operation instructions
carefully. Check the KarryFlare for any externally visible damage. Do not use a
damaged machine.
The machine is built in accordance with current safety requirements. Unauthorised
repairs or modifications could result in unforeseen dangers for the user for which the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Repairs should only be undertaken by
skilled engineers and in accordance with the maintenance instructions of the
manufacturer.
Faulty components must only be exchanged for Parker original spare parts. Only
when these parts are fitted the safety standards of the device can be guaranteed.
Accessory parts or driving units may only be fitted when expressly approved by
Parker. If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims
may be invalidated.
During transportation safety shoes with toe protection have to be worn.
As hand protection during operation, the KarryFlare design keeps automatically both
hands of the user in action on the tube and the hand pump lever. Take care that
other people do not help in the area of the tools or hand pump during operation.
The pressure gauge shows a red range for the hydraulic pressure, starting at 400
bar. Make sure that this pressure is not exceeded during operation.
2. Specifications
The KarryFlare is a portable device for easy and workmanlike 37° tube flaring. It
allows the flaring of even large dimension steel and stainless steel hydraulic tube at
assembly sites where Parflange® technology is not available.
The KarryFlare consists of a hydraulic flaring unit and a hand pump. The hydraulic
assembly pressure can be read on a gauge which is ergonomically located. The
KarryFlare is ideal for tube flaring of small quantities and on-site tube installation. It is
practical, simple to operate, reliable and easy to transport.
The KarryFlare comes as one unit with all components firmly attached to a practical
carrying frame.
