RV06 User Manual ◄ 5
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always
comply with the safety precautions given in this manual,
and on the stickers and tags attached to or on the tool
and hose(s).
These safety precautions are for your safety. Review
them carefully before operating the tool or performing
any maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel may specify additional precau-
tions for your work area to comply with company policies
and local safety regulations. Enter any added precau-
tions in the space provided in this manual.
The RV06 Rocker Valve will provide safe, dependable
service if operated in accordance with the instructions
given in this manual. Read and understand the manu-
al any decals, labels, or tags attached to the tool and
hose(s). Failure to do so can cause serious personal in-
jury or damage to the equipment.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystand-
ers. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited
work areas such as excessive slopes and danger-
ous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to en-
sure safe operation of the tool.
• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or
under the supervision of the instructor.
• Always wear personal protection equipment (PPE)
such as goggles, safety shoes, head, eye, breath-
ing, and ear protection when operating the tool. Use
gloves and aprons when necessary.
• All ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and hoses
used in the high pressure circuit must be capable of
10,000 psi/690 bar operation.
• All ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and hoses
must be leak-tight and free of cracks, dents and
other damage.
• Do not operate the tool if it is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or incompletely assembled.
• Use only hydraulic hoses labeled and certied non-
conductive when using the rocker valve/intensier
on or near electric lines.
• Do not use tightly coiled or twisted hoses.
• Hoses should not be kinked, cut, swollen or heavily
abraded at any point along their entire length.
• Damaged ttings, connectors, quick couplers, and
hoses may fail at or below their rated working pres-
sure, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to locate hydraulic leaks by feel-
ing around hoses and ttings with bare hands OR
gloved hands. Pin-hole leaks can penetrate the skin
(oil injection). To inspect for leaks, de-pressurize
the system (rocker valve, intensied, and power
source), clean around the suspected area, pres-
surize the system and visually inspect for leaks. If
possible, the above procedure should be performed
behind some type of shield (Lexan®).
• Do not operate the tool at uid temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher temperatures can
cause higher than normal temperatures at the tool,
which can result in operator discomfort.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all
tool maintenance, repair, and service must be per-
formed by properly trained personnel.
