The safety signal word designates the degree or level of hazard seriousness.
: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in property damage.
IMPORTANT: Important is used when action or lack of action can cause equipment failure, either
immediate or over a long period of time.
Safety Symbols and Denitions
• The following procedures must be performed by qualied, trained personnel who
are familiar with this equipment. Operators must read and understand all safety
precautions and operating instructions included with the device. If the operator
cannot read these instructions, operating instructions and safety precautions must
be read and discussed in the operator's native language.
• These products are designed for general use in normal environments. These
products are not designed for use in special work environments such as: explosive,
ammable, or corrosive. Only the user can decide the suitability of this product in
these conditions or extreme environments. Power Team will supply information
necessary to help make these decisions. Consult your nearest Power Team facility.
• Safety glasses must be worn at all time by the operator and anyone within sight of
the unit. Additional personal protection equipment may include: face shield, goggles,
gloves, apron, hard hat, safety shoes, and hearing protection.
• The owner of this tool must verify that safety-related decals are installed, maintained,
and replaced if they become hard to read.
• Shut OFF the motor before opening any connections in the system.
• The guide cannot cover every hazard or situation so always do the job with SAFETY
FIRST.
• When extending a spreader under load, always insure that the coupler(s) or
port thread(s) have not been damaged or do not come in contact with any rigid
obstruction. If this condition does occur, the coupler’s attaching threads may
become stripped or pulled from the spreader resulting in instant release of high
pressure hydraulic uid, ying objects, and loss of the load. All of these conditions
could cause serious injury or death. Never use a spreader with bent or damaged
couplers or damaged port threads.
• Always support the base against a rigid, at surface at least 75% as large as the
hydraulic spreader base for stability.
Safety Precautions
WARNING
WARNING

© SPX FLOW, Inc. Form No. 1000665
Rev. 0 Sept. 9, 2019
• Avoid o󰀨-center loads which could damage the hydraulic spreader and/or cause loss
of the load, possibly causing serious injury or death.
• Control the load at all times. Do not drop the load.
• The user must be a qualied operator familiar with the correct operation,
maintenance, and use of the spreader. Lack of knowledge in any of these areas can
lead to personal injury.
• Wear safety glasses at all times.
• Read and understand all safety and warning decals and instructions.
• Use only approved hydraulic uid. Hoses, seals and all components used in a
system must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used.
• Do not exceed the rated capacities of the spreader. Excess pressure can result in
personal injury.
• Inspect each spreader and coupler before each shift or usage to prevent unsafe
conditions from developing. Do not use cylinders if they are damaged, altered or in
poor condition. Never use extreme heat to disassemble a hydraulic spreader. Metal
fatigue and/or seal damage will result and can lead to unsafe operating conditions.
Safety Precautions continued
• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be
created by the load or parts of the spreader.
• To help prevent material fatigue if the spreader
is to be used in a continuous application,
the load should not exceed 85% of the rated
capacity or stroke. Hydraulic spreaders should
not be continuously operated to the stops
without a load.
• A spreader must be on a stable base which
is able to support the load while pushing or
lifting.
• To help prevent personal injury, use shims, friction material or constraints to prevent
slippage of the base or load.
• Do not set poorly-balanced or o󰀨-center loads on a spreader. The load can tip or the
spreader can "kick- out" and cause personal injury.
• If this component is used to lift, lower, or separate loads, be certain that the load is
under operator control at all times and that others are clear of the load. Do not drop
the load.
• As the load is lifted, use blocking or cribbing to guard against a falling load or a load
that will come together after being spread apart. All personnel must be clear of the
load before lowering.

Initial Setup
1. Remove all packing materials from the assembled unit.
2. Inspect the unit upon arrival. The carrier, not the manufacturer, is responsible for any
damage resulting from shipment.
IMPORTANT:
• Keep the spreader clean at all times.
• While at a job site, when the spreader is not in use, keep the piston rod fully
retracted and upside down.
• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to seal all hydraulic connections.
Teon tape can be used if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully
(two threads back) to prevent the tape from being pinched by the coupler and broken
o󰀨 inside the pipe end. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through the system and
obstruct the ow of uid or cause jamming of precision-t parts.
• Use only Power Team hydraulic uid. Never use brake or transmission uids.
• Always use protective covers on disconnected quick couplers.
• Limiting the stroke will prolong spring life of this tool.
• Limiting the stroke and pressure on spreaders will also prolong their life.
