This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that
follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
• Study, understand, and follow all
instructions provided with and on this
device before use.
• All WARNING statements must be
carefully observed to help prevent
personal injury.
•
No alteration shall be made to this
device.
• Always wear protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from
ames and heat. Hydraulic uid can
ignite and burn. Do not operate if
leaks are detected.
•
Crush Hazard. Keep hands and
feet away from loading area. Avoid
pinch points or crush points that can
be created by the load or parts of
cylinder.
•
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
NEVER work on, under or around
a lifted load before it is properly
supported by appropriate mechanical
means. Never rely on hydraulic
pressure alone to support load.
HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
•
The user must be a qualied operator familiar with the
correct operation, maintenance, and use of cylinders. Lack of
knowledge in any of these areas can lead to personal injury.
• Do not exceed rated capacity of the cylinder or any equipment
in the system.
• Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure exceeds
rated pressure.
•
Inspect cylinder, hoses and connections before each use to
prevent unsafe conditions from developing. Do not use if
they are damaged, altered or in poor condition. Do not use a
cylinder with bent or damaged coupler or damaged threads.
•
Use gauge or other load measuring instrument to verify load.
• Do not subject the cylinder to shock loads.
• Never attempt to disconnect hydraulic connections under
pressure.
•
Use only approved accessories and approved hydraulic uid.
•
Never attach ANY component not authorized by manufacturer.
• Never use other than factory provided and/or authorized
fasteners.
• Under certain conditions, the use of an extension with a
hydraulic cylinder may not be advisable and could present
a dangerous condition.
• Cylinder must be on a stable base which is able to support
the load while pushing or lifting. Ensure cylinder is fully
engaged into/onto adapters, extension accessories.
• Use shims, friction material or constraints to prevent slippage
of the base or load.
• Distribute the load evenly across
the entire saddle surface. Do not
off-center loads on a cylinder.
The load can tip or the cylinder
can “kick out”.
• This device is not suitable for use as support device! As the
load is lifted, use blocking and cribbing to guard against a
falling load.
• All personnel must be clear before lowering.
• Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, refer repairs
to qualied, authorized personnel.
HYDRAULIC HOSES & FLUID TRANSMISSION LINES
• Avoid short runs of straight line tubing. Straight line runs
do not provide for expansion and contraction due to
pressure and/or temperature changes.
• Reduce stress in tube lines. Long tubing runs should be
supported by brackets or clips. Before operating the pump,
tighten all hose connections with proper tools. Do not
overtighten. Connections should only be tightened securely
and leak-free. Overtightening can cause premature thread
failure or high pressure ttings to burst.
• Should a hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be
disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and release
all pressure. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized
hose with your hands. The force of escaping hydraulic uid
can inict injury.
• Do not subject the hose to potential hazard such as re,
sharp objects, extreme heat or cold, or heavy impact.
• Do not allow the hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend
so tightly that the uid ow within the hose is blocked or
reduced. Periodically inspect the hose for wear.
• Do not pull, position or move setup by the hose.
• Hose material and coupler seals must be compatible with
hydraulic uid used. Hoses also must not come in contact
with corrosive materials such as battery acid, creosote-
impregnated objects and wet paint. Never paint a coupler
or hose.
•
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

any way, is worn, leaking or operates abnormally shall be removed from service immediately until such time as repairs can be
made. Any valve that has been or suspected to have been subject to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, causing the system
pressure to exceed 10,000 PSI), shall be removed from service immediately until checked by qualied personnel. Owners and
operators of this equipment shall be aware that the use and subsequent repair of this equipment may require special training
and knowledge.

BEFORE USE
1. Before using this product, read the owner's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components
and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
2. Verify that the product and the application are compatible. If in doubt, call Williams Technical Service 1-866-460-7995.
3. Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, leaking or damaged components are noted.
4.
Replace worn or damaged parts with Williams authorized replacement parts only.
5. Use adequate eye protection when operating or near this device.
6. Ensure method of conrming load is accurate and working properly. Have gauge or load cell accuracy veried by qualied
personnel on a yearly basis.
SET UP
1. Connect and secure hoses, cylinders, ttings, gauges and pump etc. noting that the proper ports are connected. Always
secure threaded port connections with non-hardening pipe thread compound. Take care not to introduce compound into port
orices.
If you are not trained and familiar with installing a valve, please have an authorized Williams service center
to perform this procedure.
Use an approved, high-grade pipe sealant to seal all hydraulic connections. When using teon tape,
never apply the tape over ends of ttings where it can be torn loose and get into the hydraulic system.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components immediately with Williams parts only.
2. Tighten connections as needed. Use pipe thread sealing compound when servicing connections.
3. Always use clean, approved hydraulic uid and change as recommended or sooner if the uid becomes contaminated (never
exceed 400 hours). Follow pump manufacturers instructions for changing and adding hydraulic uid. Use only good quality
hydraulic uid. We recommend Williams 8H1G or equivalent when using with hand pump, air pump, or electric pump. Never
use brake uid, transmission uid, turbine oil, motor oil, alcohol, glycerin etc. Use of other than good quality hydraulic oil will
void warranty and damage the cylinder, pump, hose etc.
Storage
Depressurize pump, disconnect all hydraulic lines to prevent accidental operation. Wipe the unit clean. Store in a clean, dry
environment.
