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 tool and
hose.
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 pre-
cautions relating to the specic work area and local
safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in
the space provided in this manual.
The AL35 Hydraulic Alternator 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
tool and hoses before operation. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystand-
ers. Keep bystanders clear of your work area. The
operator must be familiar with the work area such as
excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to en-
sure safe operation.
• Do not operate the alternator unless thoroughly
trained or under the supervision of an instructor.
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear
and head protection, and safety shoes at all times
when operating the alternator.
• Never use tools near energized transmission lines.
Know the location of buried or covered services before starting your work.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
• Do not inspect or clean the alternator while the hy-
draulic power source is connected. Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.
• Always connect hoses to the alternator hose couplers before energizing the hydraulic power source.
Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• Do not operate the alternator at oil temperatures
above 140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher temperatures can cause higher than normal temperatures
at the tool which can result in operator discomfort.
• Never transport or carry the alternator with the unit
energized and connected to electrical loads.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or
incompletely assembled alternator.
• Observe local and national electrical codes for load
wiring. To prevent electrical shock from faulty equipment, ground the alternator. If ground bonding is
required, connect a length of heavy wire between
the alternator ground terminal and the ground bond
point.
• Exercise reasonable caution to prevent electrical
shock; do not operate the alternator with wet hands.
• Do not operate the alternator in rain or snow. Do not
let the alternator get thoroughly wet.
• Do not connect the alternator to a building circuit.
This could cause damage to the alternator or to
electrical equipment in the building.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not start the alternator with electrical loads connected and in a power “ON” state.
• Ensure that the alternator is at operating speed/voltage before connecting an electrical load.
• Only use hydraulic hose labeled and certied as
non-conductive when using hydraulic tools on or
near electrical lines. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
• Before using hose labeled and certied as non‑conductive, be sure the hose is maintained as nonconductive. The hose should be regularly tested
for electric current leakage in accordance with your
safety department instructions.
• A hydraulic leak or burst may cause oil injection into
the body or other severe personal injury.
• Do not exceed specied ow and pressure for the
alternator. Excess ow or pressure may cause a
leak or burst.
• Do not exceed the rated working pressure of hydraulic hose used with the alternator. Excess pressure may cause a leak or burst.
• Check alternator hose couplers and connectors daily for leaks. Do not feel for leaks with your hands.
Contact with a leak may result in severe personal
injury.
• Do not lift or carry the alternator by the hoses. Do
not abuse the hoses. Do not use kinked, torn or
damaged hydraulic hose.
• Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly connected
to the alternator before pressuring the hydraulic
system. The system pressure hose must always be
connected to the alternator IN port. The system return hose must always be connected to the alternator OUT port. Reversing the connections may cause
reverse tool operation which can result in severe
personal injury.
• Do not connect open-center hydraulic tools to
closed-center hydraulic systems. This may result
in loss of other hydraulic functions powered by the
same system and/or may cause severe personal
injury. The AL35 alternator is an open‑center hy‑
draulic tool.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage all
tool repair maintenance and service must only be
performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.
