SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
It is the purchaser’s responsibility to determine the suitability of any Brand Hydraulics Co. product for an intended 
application, and to ensure that it is installed in accordance with all federal, state, local, private safety and health 
regulations, codes and standards. Due to the unlimited variety of machines, vehicles and equipment on which our 
products can be used, it is impossible for Brand Hydraulics Co. to offer expert advice on the suitability of a product 
for a specific application. It is our customer’s responsibility to undertake the appropriate precautions, testing and 
evaluation to prevent injury to the end-user. 
Overpressure may cause sudden and unexpected failure of a component in the hydraulic system, resulting in serious 
personal injury or death. Always use a gauge when adjusting a relief valve.
