7. Operation
7.1 Installation
The following must generally be observed when installing the cylinders:
- Non-slip and even ground, so that the entire base area of the cylinder is lying on the
ground. If there is any doubt as to the load-bearing capacity of the ground, suitable
wooden or metal underplates must be used to increase the contact area.
CAUTION / ATTENTION!
Prior to installing the cylinders, the load to be lifted must be secured against
slipping as prescribed in the respective applicable guidelines and regulations.
ATTENTION!
Hydraulic fluids may produce a lubricating film on the ground!
CAUTION / ATTENTION!
When using wooden underplates, care must be taken that particularly hard
wood without damage is used, so that the underplate cannot crack. Additional
clamping together of other woods with metal straps is not sufficient!
A TTENTION!
Use an additional non-slip underplate between the piston guard plate and the
load to be lifted, as a lubricant film may be present at the contact point of the
load!
- The ground must be a continuous surface (no gratings, gravel etc.)
- Never place cylinders on a yielding underplate
- Never use cylinders without a piston guard plate, in order to avoid damage to the
piston and achieve safe power introduction
