TIGER TOOL 17202 20 Ton Hydraulic Cylinder Instruction Manual

17202
20 Ton Single Acting Hollow Cylinder
Instruction Manual

Safety Warning

Read all instructions and safety warnings prior to operation.
Failure to do so could result in equipment damage, personal injury, or even death.
Typical Installation
Since the single-acting cylinders have only one hose connecting the cylinder to the pump, the cylinder can only apply force in one direction to extend (or retract, with pull cylinders).
The return stroke is accomplished by gravity or spring force.

Inspect Before Use

Tiger Tool’s 17202 hydraulic cylinder is designed to be operated up to 700 bar (10,000 psi) hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure is the pressure that builds up inside the equipment (pumps, cylinders, hoses). Any components connected to the cylinder must also be rated to withstand 700 bar (10,000 psi) because the entire system becomes pressurized to 700 bar (10,000 psi). Do not exceed this pressure rating, and do not connect this cylinder to a pump with a higher-pressure rating. Do not subject the cylinder to shock loads, or loads dropped suddenly, which can cause the system pressure to exceed the rated pressure.
Do not use leaking, broken, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged parts. If the cylinder has been or suspected to have been subjected to a shock load, discontinue use until a Tiger Tool authorized service technician can inspect it. Any cylinder that appears to be damaged in any way, is worn or operates abnormally shall be removed from service immediately until such time as repairs can be made.

Safety Precautions – Hydraulic Cylinders

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) specifies general rules and safety requirements for hydraulic fluid power systems and components used on machinery. ISO 4413:2010 discusses all significant hazards associated with hydraulic fluid power systems and specifies the principles to apply to avoid those hazards when the systems are put to their intended use. In the United States, The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) indicates that the National Fluid Power Association/ANSI Standard T2.24.2 R1-2007, “Hydraulic fluid power – Systems standard for stationary industrial machinery” applies; however, the sections related to hydraulic components also defer to ISO 4413.
NOTE: Hammering this tool will void your warranty.

| Failure to comply with the following warnings may result in personal injury and property damage.| | Do not pull, position or move cylinder setup by the hose. Use carrying handle or other means of safe transport.
---|---|---|---
| Follow all instructions provided with this device before use. The user must be a qualified operator familiar with the correct operation, maintenance, and use of cylinders.| | Do not handle pressurized hoses. Never attempt to grasp a leaking pressurized hose. Ensure to release the system pressure before disconnecting hydraulic hose or connections.
| Wear protective gear when operating hydraulic equipment.| | Hydraulic fluid can ignite and burn. Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and heat. Excessive heat will soften seals, resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials.
| This device is NOT suitable as a support device!
As the load is lifted, use blocking to guard against a falling load. Stay clear of a lifted load before it is properly supported. Never rely on hydraulic pressure to support a load.| | Cylinder must be on a stable base which is able to support the load while pushing or lifting. Use shims, friction material or constrains to prevent
slippage of the base or load.
| Crush Hazard. Keep hands and feet away from cylinder and workpiece during operation.| | Center load on cylinder. Distribute load evenly across the entire saddle surface. Do not off-center loads on a cylinder. The load can tip.
| Do not exceed rated capacity of the cylinder or any equipment in the system. The cylinder is designed for a max. pressure of 10,000 psi.
Do not connect a cylinder to a pump with a higher-pressure rating. Do not subject cylinder to shock loads; system pressure may then exceed rated pressure.| | Never try to disassemble a hydraulic cylinder, refer repairs to qualified,
authorized personnel.
| The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component the system. Install a pressure gauge or other load measuring instrument to monitor the operating pressure.| | Do not subject hose to sharp objects or heavy impact.
| Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Do not allow hose to kink, twist, curl, crush, cut or bend so tightly that fluid flow within the hose is blocked or reduced.| | Hose material or seals must not come in contact with corrosive materials such as battery acid, creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose.
No alteration shall be made to the cylinder. Use only factory authorized fasteners, accessories and hydraulic fluid.

Safety Factors

High pressure hydraulic tools are designed to be safely operated up to the manufacturer’s ratings. They are not designed with any safety factor that allows you to exceed the equipment rating. To prevent material fatigue and premature failure if the cylinder is used in a continuous application, the load should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity or stroke. One reason for applying the 80% rule to cylinder capacity is that most loads are not lifted on their true center. This results in side loading of the cylinder. Allowing fora safety factor is the simplest way to compensate for the off-center characteristics of a one-point lift.
The illustration below shows two benefits of applying the 80% rule to cylinder stroke. First, leaving distance between the stop ring and the bearing reduces side loading force, resulting in a more stable cylinder. Second, you can avoid damaging the stop ring by not running the plunger all the way up and hitting the stop ring with the bearing.

Cylinder Maintenance & Storage

1. Inspect hoses and connections daily. Replace damaged components immediately with Tiger Tool Replacement Parts only.
2. Tighten connections as needed. Use pipe thread sealing compound when servicing connections.
3. Always use clean, approved hydraulic fluid and change as recommended or sooner if the fluid becomes contaminated (never exceed 400 hours). Follow pump manufacturers instructions for changing and adding hydraulic fluid. Use only good quality hydraulic fluid. Never use brake fluid, transmission fluid, 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.

Lubrication & Cleaning
Keep cylinder clean at all times.

1. Any exposed threads (male or female) must be cleaned and lubricated regularly, and protected from damage. Lubricate with light machine oil.
2. If a cylinder or ram has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, airborne abrasive, or any corrosive environment, it must be cleaned, lubricated, and protected immediately after exposure. Clean the exposed ram daily with a clean cloth dampened with light machine oil. Protect exposed ram from the elements at all times.
3. Keep the hydraulic system as free of dirt as possible. When not in use, couplers must be sealed with dust covers. All hose connections must be free of dirt and grime. Any equipment attached to the cylinder must be kept clean.

Storage
Cylinders should be stored vertically with ram plunger fully retracted in a dry, protected area, not exposed to corrosive vapor, dust or other harmful elements. When a cylinder has not been used for a period of 4 months, it should be connected to a pump and fully extended and then retracted a minimum of 5 times. This cycle will lubricate the cylinder wall, reducing the possibility of corrosion and damage thereof.
