GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1.Ensurethat attachments are fully engaged before
applyingload.
2. Ensure that load is centrally applied to attachment
or ram saddle. Do not load off center.
3.Always monitor the force applied to workpiece by
using a load cell and indicator or you may monitor
pressure developed in the ram by using an inline
pressuregauge, then calculate the applied force
usingthe formula:
F = P x A, where F = lbs force, P = pressure in PSI,
andA = effective ram area in in².
RamArea of KTI-63705 is: 0.998 in²
RamArea of KTI-63711 is: 2.431 in²
4. If bowing or bending of ram or any attachment
occurs during use, "STOP",release pressure
immediatelyand reconsider application.Application
may not be compatible with product, a ram kit with
a higher capacity may be needed.
BEFORE USE (refer to Figure 1)
1. Inspect before each use. Do not use if bent,
broken, leaking or damaged components are noted.
2. Ensure that product and application are compatible.
3. Check to ensure that all parts of your kit are
included (see illustration and parts list).
4.Carefully remove the dust caps and plugs from hose
couplerand ram coupler.
5. Connect hose coupler to ram coupler, ensure that
there are no fluid leaks.
6.Locate and open releasevalve. Pump handle afew
strokes to purge air from system. Close release
valveand pump handle until ram is fully extended,
thenopen release valve until ramhasfully retracted.
7. With pump in normal, horizontal position, locate and
open oil filler screw (located centrally on reservoir
body). This will aid in the release of air trapped
withinthereservoir.Retighten the oil filler screw.
8. If using air actuated units, an air source of at least
7.8 CFM @ 90psi is required.
•Study, understand, and follow all instructions
provided with and on this device before use.
•Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Useonly on hard, level surfaces capable of
sustaining rated capacity loads.
•Do not open oil filler screw unless ram is fully
retracted.
•Always wear safety glasses when using this
equipment.
•Do not use as a vehicle lifting device or as a
vehiclesupport.
•When extension tubes and/or offset attachments
are used, the rated capacity is always reduced
by 50% for each tube or attachment connected.
•Any attachment that is not loaded centrally, as
through the centerline of the ram, is considered to
be "offset". See parts section for identification of
offsetatachments.
•Do not modify this device.
•Failure to heed these markings may result in
personalinjury and/or property damage.
