Always inspect all the components in order
to ascertain any possible damage caused
during transportation. If necessary complain
directly at the forwarding agent.

Observe safety precautions in particular.
They stand for danger to life and limb of
persons:
= potential of an injury;
CCAAUUTTIIOONN= danger of damaging the
device or the consumer.
• Put hand pumps only into use in the
specific field of operation as described in
chapter !
• FAG does not accept liability for damage
resulting from inexpert handling or any
other use not described here.
• Operating personnel must have been:
- authorized for use
- familiarized with the safety warnings.
• Working with hydraulic devices requires
the highest possible cleanliness!
• The pump, hose and consumer has to be
vented before each use
(danger by compressed air!)
• Under no circumstances exceed the
maximum admissible operating pressure
of the connected consumer
(danger of bursting!)
• Do not loosen any connection while
system is under pressure
(danger of injury by oil squirting out!)

• Do not use the hose to carry the pump.
Ensure that the bend radius is greater
than 60 mm, that no heavy load is placed
over them and do not damage them.
Replace the damaged hose immediately.
• Pump must be placed on a stable and
still plane to prevent it from turning over
during operation.
• Operate valves only by hand. Do not use
any tool (danger of damage).
• It is absolutely forbidden to set the safety
relief valve at a higher operating pressure
than the maximum admissible pressure!
• Use only original replacement parts.
• When exchanging the high-pressure hose:
note the marked maximum admissible
pressure.
• The hand pump reservoir must have a
capacity of usable oil sufficient to fill the
complete hydraulic system it is connected
to (danger that air is being sucked and
compressed).
• During operation: do not add oil! With
returning of the consumer the oil may
overflow from the reservoir or the reservoir
may get under pressure (danger of
bursting with the venting plug closed).
• Keep the venting plug opened by one turn
during the use of the pump (danger of
bursting with the venting plug closed).
• For refill use only FAG hydraulic oil with a
viscosity of 46 mm2/s (danger to damage
the seals).

Hydraulic oil can irritate skin and respiratory
organs:
• Avoid skin contact, e. g. use gloves or
protective cream.
• Do not inhale oil vapour and fumes
• Oil vapour and fumes can be inflammable
• Hydraulic oil: collect and dispose of the oil
or hand it over for reprocessing.
Dispose of auxiliary materials properly if
they contain oil (e. g. forward cleaning rags
to hazardous waste).
