2.0 MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS A safety related message is identifi ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.4-2011, the defi nitions of the four signal words are as follows: DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING CAUTION NOTICE WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. 3.0 BEFORE SERVICING ANY AMKUS RESCUE TOOL WARNING Servicing rescue equipment creates injury risk not found during normal product use; Guards removed for service create pinch points. Avoid injury during service by keeping hands and fingers away from movable mechanisms when cycling the tool under pressure. Replace guards before returning tools to service. Pressure stored within a hydraulic cylinder against an end stop can be suddenly released during service by disassembly of hydraulic components. Release pressure by moving piston slightly from the end stop before service. Release pressure by turning the control valve in which the piston moves slightly away from the end stop before servicing any components. Energizing electrical connections and wiring exposed during service creates ignition and shock hazards. Do not attempt to open a battery case. There are no user serviceable components inside the battery. Always wear safety glasses when servicing, or testing Amkus rescue equipment. Obtain Level 3 service technician training before servicing Amkus rescue equipment. 4
4.0 PURPOSE 4.1 This service procedure outlines the process of fi lling and topping off the ION tools with hydraulic fl uid. 5.0 PROCEDURE 5.1 MAJOR FLUID FILL 5.1.1 Position the tool so that the fl uid reservoir is at its highest point while also ensuring that the tool is level. 5.1.2 Ensure the piston is all the way extended but not under pressure. 5.1.3 Remove the (6) screws from the reservoir cover and remove cover. 5.1.4 Gently pry under the lip of the bladder, with your fi ngers, to remove it. Sharp tools may damage the bladder. 5.1.5 Once removed, inspect the bladder for any damage (cracks, holes or splits). Replace if damaged. 5.1.6 Clean the bladder and the reservoir cover s mating surfaces of all debris. 5
5.1.7 Slowly add oil to the reservoir, allowing air to escape. 5.1.8 Place the cover over reservoir and cycle the tool to fi ll the cylinder s chamber without building pressure. Add oil as needed. 5.1.9 With the piston fully extended, there should only be a fi lm of fl uid covering the bottom of the reservoir. 5.1.10 Retract the piston allowing the fl uid to fi ll the reservoir, allow time for air bubbles to dissipate. 5.1.11 Once the air bubbles have dissipated from the fl uid, cycle the tool to ensure there is no air in the tool. If air bubbles appear again repeat steps 2.2.10-2.2.11 5.2.12 With the piston fully extended reinstall the bladder and reservoir cover. (The fl uid will overfl ow from the reservoir and force air from the system.) 6
5.2 FLUID TOP OFF 2.2.1 Position the tool so that the oil bolt is at its highest point, while ensuring that the tool is level. 2.2.2 With piston fully extended, but not under pressure, remove the oil bolt using a 5mm hex key. NOTICE DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL WITH THIS BOLT OUT! 5.1.3 Using a syringe, slowly add AMKUS MV2 Hydraulic Oil to the tool. Be sure to allow air in the unit time to escape during top off. This may take some patience. 5.2.4 Reinstall the oil bolt into the tool. Cycle tool 3-5 times from full open to full close. 5.1.5 Repeat steps 2.1.1-2.1.4 as necessary until the tool will not take any more oil. 5.1.6 After the tool is full, cycle the tool to ensure that pressure builds in both directions of operation. 7
6.0 INSPECTION, CLEANING, DECONTAMINATION, AND STORAGE 1. Always store the tool securely in a clean, dry space. 2. Relieve the pressure on the tools after use by backing off the end stop. 3. Charge the battery. BEFORE BEING PLACED BACK IN SERVICE, the rescue tool must be inspected to this list: 1. Check to see that all rescue tool markings are legible. Contact your local dealer or AMKUS Rescue Systems for replacement labels. 2. Wipe the tool clean. 3. If the rescue tool becomes contaminated, determine the nature of the contamination. IE: biological, chemical, radioactive. The authority having jurisdiction may follow internal decontamination guidelines or request technical advice from AMKUS Rescue Systems. 4. Inspect the tool, controls and battery after each use for damage, leakage and excessive wear. 5. If rescue tool damage or excessive wear is noticed, remove the rescue tool from service immediately; contact your local dealer or AMKUS Rescue Systems for service. 6. Install battery and verify tool operation. Any rescue tool failing any part of the checklist is unsafe for use and must have the problem WARNING corrected before use or being placed back into service. Operating a rescue tool that has failed the checklist is a misuse of this equipment. Contact your local dealer or Amkus Rescue Systems. 7.0 PARTS, SERVICE AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION Parts, service and technical information may be obtained from your local AMKUS dealer, or by contacting AMKUS Rescue Systems. www.amkus.com 800-592-6587 219-548-5000 Fax 219-476-1669
