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 equipment.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before operating the tool and before performing
general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specic work area and local safety regulations. If
so, place the added precautions in the space provided on page 4.
In addition to this manual, read and understand safety and operating instructions in the Engine Operation Manual furnished
with the power unit.
The Hydraulic Power Unit will provide safe and dependable service if operated in accordance with the instructions given in this
manual. Read and understand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the Power Unit. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as
excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to ensure safe operation.
• Do not operate the power unit 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
power unit and a hydraulic tool.
• Do not inspect or clean the power unit while it is running. Accidental engagement of the unit can cause serious injury.
• Always use hoses and ttings rated at 2500 psi/172 bar with a 4 to 1 safety factor. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• Be sure all hoses are connected for correct ow direction to and from the tool being used.
• Do not inspect hoses and ttings for leaks by using bare hands. “Pin-hole” leaks can penetrate the skin.
• NEVER OPERATE THE POWER UNIT IN A CLOSED SPACE. Inhalation of engine exhaust can be fatal.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted power unit.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get entangled in the working parts of the power unit.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the working parts of the power unit.
• Keep clear of hot engine exhaust.
• Do not add fuel to the power unit while the power unit is running or is still hot.
• Do not operate the power unit if gasoline odor is present.
• Do not use ammable solvents around the power unit engine.
• Do not operate the power unit within 3.3 ft/1 m of buildings, obstructions or ammable objects.
• Do not reverse tool rotation direction by changing uid ow direction.
• Allow power unit engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.

HYDRAULIC HOSE REQUIREMENTS
HOSE TYPES
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the
hydraulic system.There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use
with Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:
Certied non-conductive - constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic ber
braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled certied non-
conductive is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
Wire-braided (conductive) - constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid reinforcement, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover. This hose is conductive and must never be used near
electrical conductors.
Fabric-braided (not certied or labeled non-conductive) - constucted of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber
inner tube, synthetic ber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. This
hose is not certied non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
HOSE SAFETY TAGS
To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from Stanley Hydraulic Tools. DO NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.
If the information on a tag is illegible because of wear or damage, replace the tag immediately. A new tag may be
obtained from your Stanley Distributor.
THE TAG SHOWN BELOW IS ATTACHED TO “CERTIFIED NON-CONDUCTIVE” HOSE
D A N G E R
1 FAILURE TO USE HYDRAULIC HOSE LABELED AND CERTIFIED AS NON-CONDUCTIVE
WHEN USING HYDRAULIC TOOLS ON OR NEAR ELECTRIC LINES MAYRESULT IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PROPERLY
TRAINED IN CORRECT PROCEDURES REQUIRED FOR WORK ON OR AROUND
ELECTRIC LINES.
2. BEFORE USING HYDRAULIC HOSE LABELED AND CERTIFIED AS NON-CONDUCTIVE ON
OR NEAR ELECTRIC LINES. WIPE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE HOSE AND FITTING
WITH A CLEAN DRY ABSORBENT CLOTH TO REMOVE DIRT AND MOSISTURE AND TEST
HOSE FOR MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CURRENT LEAKAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAFETY
DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG

3. DO NOT EXCEED HOSE WORKING PRESSURE OR ABUSE HOSE. IMPROPER USE OR
HANDLING OF HOSE COULD RESULT IN BURST OR OTHER HOSE FAILURE. KEEP
HOSE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM BODY AND DO NOT PERMIT DIRECT CONTACT
DURING USE. CONTACT AT THE BURST CAN CAUSE BODILY INJECTION AND SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY.
4. HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSE CAREFULLY TO AVOID KINKING, ABRASION, CUTTING, OR
CONTACT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE SURFACES. DO NOT USE IF KINKED. DO NOT USE
HOSE TO PULL OR LIFT TOOLS, POWER UNITS, ETC.
5. CHECK ENTIRE HOSE FOR CUTS CRACKS LEAKS ABRASIONS, BULGES, OR DAMAGE TO
COUPLINGS IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS EXIST, REPLACE THE HOSE IMMEDIATELY.
NEVER USE TAPE OR ANY DEVICE TO ATTEMPT TO MEND THE HOSE.
6. AFTER EACH USE STORE IN A CLEAN DRY AREA.

Typical Hose Connections
Tool to Hydraulic Circuit Hose Recom-
mendations
The chart to the right shows recommended mini-
mum hose diameters for various hose lengths
based on gallons per minute (gpm)/liters per min-
ute (lpm). These recommendations are intended
to keep return line pressure (back pressure) to a
minimum acceptable level to ensure maximum tool
performance.
This chart is intended to be used for hydraulic tool
applications only based on Stanley Hydraulic Tools
tool operating requirements and should not be used
for any other applications.
All hydraulic hose must have at least a rated
minimum working pressure equal to the maximum
hydraulic system relief valve setting.
All hydraulic hose must meet or exceed speci-
8
cations as set forth by SAE J517.
