WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear
when operating hydraulic equipment.
WARNING: Stay clear of loads supported by
hydraulics. A cylinder, when used as a load lifting
device, should never be used as a load holding
device. After the load has been raised or lowered, it must
always be blocked mechanically.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands
and feet away from cylinder and workpiece
during operation.
Instruction Sheet
GLOBAL VALVES - VP SERIES
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never
attempt to lift a load weighing more than the capacity
of the cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure
and possible personal injury. The workholding cylinders are
designed for a max. pressure of 350 bar [5,000 psi]. Do not
connect a jack or cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure
rating.
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than
the maximum rated pressure of the pump. Higher
settings may result in equipment damage and/or
personal injury.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not
exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated
component in the system. Install pressure gauges in
the system to monitor operating pressure. It is your window
to what is happening in the system.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid
sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses.
Using a bent or kinked hose will cause severe back-
pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the
hose leading to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact
may cause internal damage to hose wire strands.
Applying pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to
rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the
hoses or swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or
other means of safe transport.
