EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
The user must have read the following instructions and precautions before using the hydraulic body assembly.
Failure to observe these precautions could cause damage to the jack and the accessories, or cause injuries to users.
These warnings must be read and understood before any use.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (§ 7.1.1 de l'EN 1494+A1)
The owner and/or operator shall have an understanding of the product, its operating characteristics, and safety operating instructions before operating it.
Safety information shall be understood:
1.1 Study, understand, and follow all instructions before operating this device.
1.2 Wear eye protection that meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
1.3 Do not exceed the rated capacity.
1.4 When using extension tubes, position the shortest tube farthest from the jack.
1.5 Do not subject the hose to extreme cold, heat, sharp surfaces, abrasion, or impact.
1.6 Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, or bend so tightly that it restricts fluid flow.
1.7 Make sure setup is stable and secure before performing any work.
1.8 Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
1.9 No alterations or modifications shall be made to this product.
1.10 Visual inspection shall be made before each use by checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing
parts.
1.11 It shall be the responsibility of the employer to ensure that applicable personal protective equipment (PPE) complies with applicable local safety codes.
1.12 Any product that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn, or operates abnormally SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL
REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
1.13 As an additional safety measure against overload, the hydraulic power kit is fitted with an overload valve set at the factory and which should not be
adjusted under any circumstances. If nominal capacity of the hydraulic power kit is exceeded the overload valve will stop the lifting operation.
1.14 Do not use the hydraulic power kit in the presence of violent wind, frost, under extreme climates, near powerful magnetic fields or potentially explosive
atmospheres.
1.15 Avoid any contact between the hydraulic power kit and food.
1.16 If oil overflows, please do not use the hydraulic power kit, and refer to section 6 of these user instructions or contact your Facom dealer.
1.17 The body jack is planned only for use with FACOM brand accessories. Use of accessories of one or more other brands than FACOM may cause an
overload, reduce the capacity and reduce the stability of the unit, and may cause a serious accident.
1.18 Using too many accessories could then cause the unit to collapse, cause injuries to persons and damage nearby equipment.
1.19 Regularly check the oil level in the pump (1). Too much oil can damage the machines or put them out of order.
See the heading «instructions before use» for the procedure to follow.
1.20 For each extension used, the resistance of the unit is reduced by 50%. See the details in the following headings.
1.21 Use of a manometer is recommended (not included in your hydraulic case) to check the pressure of the various types of extension.
1.22 Before increasing the pressure, check that all the accessories and extensions are correctly coupled.
1.23 To prevent the unit sliding, you must always correctly centre the load with the jack and the accessories concerned.
1.24 When you change the oil, never use brake liquid, alcohol, glycerin, detergents, engine oil or used oil. Use of dirty oil can cause internal damage
to your equipment. For more information, contact directly your FACOM distributor who sold you your equipment. FACOM recommends hydraulic oil,
type ISO VG13.
1.25 Keep your hands away from the separator jack to prevent injury (2).
1.26 Avoid bending the pipe. Always keep the pipe in a horizontal or slightly curved position (3).
1.27 Never place too heavy a weight on the pipe; each incision/cut can cause explosions during use (4).
Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE
2.1 Before each use the body jack must be inspected. You must in particular check whether there are leaks, worn or damaged pipe or connections, bent or
damaged extensions and accessories which are incorrectly attached or lost.
2.2 The user must understand that repairing the body jack requires specific knowledge. For this reason defective parts must be replaced by qualified
personnel with original FACOM parts.
2.3 Each part of the body jack must be inspected in the event of a load judged to be abnormal or following an impact.
3. ASSEMBLY
3.1 To prepare the pump, remove the pipe protection and the jack coupling. Insert the pipe coupling with that of the jack. Take a clean extension and attach
it.
Check that the extension is perfectly attached to the piston.
Observation: the thread protection must be kept for future use.
3.2 Use of extensions or other accessories such as the piston and the suction ram stand may reduce the machine's capacity. When you use extensions, the
shortest extension must always be attached the farthest from the jack.
Never attach it to the centre.
4. INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
4.1 Check oil level:
Position the jack horizontally, with the piston in the short position, and open the valve. Remove the cap. The tank must be filled precisely as far as the
opening (1).
It necessary, fill with oil (type
4.2 Internal lubrication:
Operate the lever a few times with the valve open in order to guarantee correct lubrication.
5. USE AND OPERATION
5.1 Starting:
Close valve (5) by rotating in a clockwise direction until it is blocked (do not overtighten). Then use the pump (6). Continue this pumping operation until
the desired position is reached.
5.2 Release:
Slowly rotate the valve (7) in an anticlockwise direction and retract the piston. The speed of this action may be adjusted according to the opening of the
valve.
OBSERVATION:
The pump is fitted with a safety valve which directs the oil into the tank when the pump pressure has reached its maximum. Continuing to pump will not
operate the system. Take care that the extensions are not incorrectly positioned. If you observe that the extensions are folding, immediately open the pump
valve and correct your installation. A continual overload indicates that your equipment is not necessarily appropriate and that your work requires a higher jack
capacity.
