HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS

DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid

under pressure penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury

precautions for instructions before using a pressurized

hydraulic system.

8760878 6 TON HYDRAULIC WELDED BOTTLE JACK V1.0

6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

1. Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while

under pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has

sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint

hole may inject hydraulic fluid into your body. Seek immediate

medical attention if this occurs (see Injection Injury).

2. Do not adjust the hydraulic system’s relief setting. The

settings are preset by the factory.

3. Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn

injury if touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic

system to cool before conducting maintenance.

4. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release

all pressure from the system before you inspect it. Replace

damaged hydraulic parts with identical manufacturer's

components.

5. Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such

repairs can fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.

6. Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F

(93°F). Do not expose the fluid to an ignition source.

7. Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic

fluid. Store clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic

fluid in an approved metal safety can with a spring-closing

lid and venting designed to contain a fire.

8. Only use hydraulic fluid in the pump. Do not substitute or

mix brake fluid, or any other fluid, with the hydraulic fluid.

This can result in a pump failure and injure the user or

bystander. It may also damage the pump.

INJECTION INJURY

DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical treatment if

fluid penetrates your skin. It may feel like a pricking or sting.

Do not wait for the appearance of symptoms. A toxic reaction

can occur from the exposure. Delay in treatment can lead to

amputation or death.

V1.0 6 TON HYDRAULIC WELDED BOTTLE JACK 8760878

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 7

Inform the medical staff that you have a fluid penetration injury as

soon as you arrive at the medical facility. The severity of the

symptoms will depend on the type of fluid injected. Bring the Safety

Data Sheet for the fluid with you to the medical facility if possible.

INJECTION PRECAUTIONS

Fluid can penetrate the skin at 100 PSI pressure. Fluid escaping

under pressure from the tool has sufficient force to penetrate

your clothing and skin. Follow the precautions below to avoid

an injection injury.

1. Always check for leaks wearing a face shield, safety

goggles, rubberized gloves and protective clothes.

2. Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it.

3. Do not use your hands to detect a fluid leak. Use a large piece

of wood, cardboard or paper and watch for discolouration.

4. Replace damaged parts with identical manufacturer's

components to ensure it is rated to handle the pressure.

UNPACKING

WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing.

Replace the missing part before operating. Failure to do so

could result in a malfunction and personal injury.
