Hydraulically operated
Floor Transmission Jack and equipment are available in a wide variety of types, many for specific applications.
Many
jacks use hydraulics as a means of pressing, pushing, lifting,
supporting, and stabilizing. Using hydraulically operated equipment is a
very efficient way of performing these tasks. It is important that the
proper safety procedures be practiced, prior to, and during the
operation, or maintenance of hydraulic equipment. I am including some
safety guidelines for operating and repairing jacks with hydraulics:
Personal
protective equipment: Always wear eye and hand protection. Wear
ANSI-approved safety impact goggles, non-skid safety shoes, and heavy
duty work gloves when using this jack.
Personal safety: Dress
properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair tied
back or inside your hat. Keep your clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in the moving
parts of the jack. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Proper footing and balance enables you to better control
yourself in unexpected situations.
Tool use and care: Store idle
jacks and equipment out of reach of children and other untrained people.
Jacks and equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain this jack with care. Keep it clean. A properly maintained jack
is easier to control. Do not use a damaged jack or equipment. Tag
damaged jacks and equipment “Do not use” until repaired. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, loose or broken parts, and any
other condition that may affect this jack’s operation. If damaged, have
the jack serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained jacks and equipment. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one product may become hazardous when used on another
product.

Cleaning”. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.
