OPERATING HYDRAULIC BODY REPAIR KIT
Preparing Work Area
Before using the body repair kit, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow this procedure each time
the repair kit is used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
1.) Thoroughly inspect body repair kit for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded
hydraulic ram before using to work on any job. If ram is damaged or is malfunctioning DO NOT USE until
the problem is corrected.
2.) Consult owner’s manual for safety precautions correct use and recommended procedures before using
the body repair kit. The working load limit of the hydraulic ram is 10000 kg. NEVER EXCEED
WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF HYDRAULIC RAM. Utilisation of multiple connections also reduces the
working capacity of the tool.
3.) Clear children and others from work area before using the body repair kit. Another adult should be
nearby for extra safety and assistance but must be clear of repair area as it is used.
4.) Never use to compress or bend objects that are not securely attached and could be ejected from their
position. Do not apply force to objects that could shatter.
5.) Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
6.) Ensure Body repair kit and operator are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or
garage floor. Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and may dangerously
impede the function of the body repair kit.
