WARNING
!
Raising hydraulic pressure on this
machine above the factory approved
settings may cause death, severe
injury or property damage and will
void the warranty.
The consequences of increasing hydraulic
pressure are serious. The function of the relief
valves is to provide a fuse action to protect the
machine and the operator from overloading. When
overloaded, the machine can become stressed to a
level where parts fracture causing death, severe injury
or property damage. This is an extremely
dangerous practice.
Accordingly, you are advised that the pressure
settings of this machine are limited to the factory
approved settings. Pressures in excess of these
settings render each and all Barko warranties null and
void and constitute an obvious misuse and abuse of
our product.
