Safety regulations

Carefully read the safety regulations given below before installing and/or putting the hydraulic power pack
into operation. Meticulously observe the regulations during use. KEEP THESE SAFETY REGULATIONS for
future reference.
3.1

General safety regulations

• The power pack you purchased is exclusively meant for delivering hydraulic energy specifically to the
application for which the hydraulic power pack is designed and built. Using the power pack for other
than the intended purposes is explicitly not permitted!
• If any use is made of lifting or hoisting devices during the installation of the hydraulic power pack, the
operators must also be familiar with the operation and functioning of the used lifting/hoisting device
(see the instructions of the lifting/hoisting device).
• Commissioning of the hydraulic power pack shall exclusively be done by trained persons and in
conformity with the described regulations (see chapters 4 and 5).
• Operation of the hydraulic power pack shall exclusively be done by trained persons within the functional
limits.
• Operators of the hydraulic power pack must be familiar with the operation at all times.
• Maintenance and repair of the hydraulic power pack is to be performed exclusively by Kramp Groep B.V.
or companies designated for that purpose by Kramp Groep B.V..
• Incompetent repairs may lead to serious danger for the user!
• An power pack is a power source. Parts may become hot by intensive use, incorrect connections or
overload. Always avoid touching any hot parts.
• Always wear eye protection while working with or on the power pack.
• If the power pack produces more than 85 dB (indicated on the power pack), wearing ear protection is
mandatory.
• Read the manual for use of the power pack at all times.
3.2

Safety regulations for transport

• Lifting the power pack is exclusively allowed using the lifting eyes provided.
• LIFTING OF THE POWER PACK IS EXCLUSIVELY ALLOWED WITH EMPTY TANK! Remove the lifting eyes
before filling the tank and replace them by the 4 bolts supplied along.
• Transport of the power pack is exclusively allowed on the pallet including tie rods and draw bolts
delivered by Kramp Groep B.V..
• Make sure that no persons can be on, beside or below the power pack while transporting and/or
hoisting the power pack in view of possible tilting or falling of the power pack.
• Take the given weight of the power pack into consideration in connection with the maximum weight to
be lifted manually of 25 kg.
3.3

Safety regulations for commissioning

• Make sure that the power pack is placed on a safe, level, stable and solid surface.
• Make yourself familiar with the hydraulic and/or electrical circuit diagram. Always avoid incorrect
connections of pipes and wires. This may result in situations dangerous to life!
• Adequately protect the entire electrical circuit against moist: 230 VAC can be fatal!
• Provide an adequately protected switch box the power supply of which is automatically shut off when
opening the box.
• Apply the correct instructions and labels to the switch box.
• Only qualified and skilful employees shall work with electricity!!
• Provide a good and, if required, an inspected earth connection.
• Any voltage circuits used shall have been correctly designed and all safety aspects must have been
observed.
• The low voltage must be stable, deviations shall be maximum +/-10% with on-off magnets and
maximum +/-5% with proportional magnets (measured at the coils).
• In case of a large low-voltage circuit, make sure that sufficient power can be delivered. Here take the
already installed peripheral equipment, such as coolers, parameter monitoring/security, lighting, etc.,
into consideration.
• Always avoid unexpected/improper starting of the power pack.
• Always avoid leakage or spilling of oil in view of a risk of slipping.
• In case of release of oil for whatever reason, always avoid penetration through the skin or taking in
through the mouth.
• Always avoid contact with fluids under high pressure. Fluids under high pressure will easily penetrate
clothes or skin, causing serious injuries.
