Read this instruction for use fully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid personal
injury or property damage during equipment operation. SKF cannot be responsible
for damage or injury resulting from unsafe product use, lack of maintenance or
incorrect equipment operation. In case of any uncertainties as regards the use of
the equipment contact SKF.
Failure to comply with the following could cause equipment damage and personal injury.
• Do ensure that the equipment is only operated by trained personnel.
• Do wear proper personal protective gear, such as eye protection and protective gloves,
when operating the equipment.
• Do inspect the equipment and all accessories carefully before use.
• Do not use damaged components or modify the equipment.
• Do use clean recommended hydraulic oils (SKF LHMF 300, LHDF 900 or similar).
• Do not use glycerin or water based fluids as a pressure medium. Premature equipment
wear or damage can result.
• Do connect the equipment to a clean and dry air supply.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowed 7 bar (105 psi) air pressure.
• Do not use the equipment above the stated maximum hydraulic pressure.
• Do not use accessories rated below the maximum pressure of the air-driven pump or oil
injector.
• Do not use washers on sealing surfaces
• Do use a pressure gauge to monitor the oil outlet pressure, wherever possible.
• Do ensure that all the air has been removed from the hydraulic system before pressurising
the hydraulic system
• Do prevent the workpiece (e.g. bearing, gearwheel or similar item) from being forcibly
ejected upon sudden release of pressure (e.g. by use of retaining nut).
• Do not handle pressurized hoses or pressurized high pressure pipes.
Oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
If oil is injected under the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
• Do not use damaged hoses or damaged high pressure pipes. Avoid sharp bends and kinks
when connecting hoses and pipes. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose
or pipe leading to premature failure. Applying pressure to a damaged hose or pipe may
cause it to rupture.
• Do not connect high pressure pipes to the THAP 300E or 400E without using the
protection device supplied.
• Do not exceed the maximum torque tightening figures given in this instruction for use.
• Do not use dirty oil hoses. The oil container can become contaminated leading to
premature equipment wear and failure.
• Do not lift the equipment by the hoses, high pressure pipes or couplings.
Only use the carrying handle.
• Do not leave the equipment unattended whilst operating.
• Do follow local safety regulations
• Do service the equipment by a qualified hydraulic technician or SKF Repair Centre.
• Do replace worn or damaged parts with genuine SKF parts.
