Stanley Hardware Automobile Parts BR40 User Manual

•  Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before con-

nection.

•  The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the 

OFF position when coupling or uncoupling hydrau-

lic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to 

the quick couplers and cause overheating of the hy-

draulic system.

•  Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from 

damage or pilferage.

•  Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male 

quick disconnect) is connected to the 

IN port. The 

circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) 

is connected to the opposite port. Do not reverse cir-

cuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.

•  Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts 

with replacement parts recommended by Stanley 

Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a mini-

mum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.

•  do  not  exceed  the  rated  flow  and  pressure.  See 

Specifications  in  this  manual  for  correct  flow  rate 

and pressure rating. Rapid failure of the internal 

seals may result.

In addition to the Safety Precautions found in 

this manual, observe the following for equipment 

protection and care.

•  Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning 

stickers and tags legible.

•  Do not force a small breaker to do the job of a large 

breaker.

•  Keep tool bit sharp for maximum breaker perfor-

mance. Make sure that tool bits are not chipped or 

rounded on the striking end.

•  Never operate a breaker without a tool bit or without 

holding it against the work surface. This puts exces-

sive strain on the breaker foot.

•  Tool repair should be performed by experienced 

personnel only.

•  Make certain that the recommended relief valves 

are installed in the pressure side of the system.

•  Do not use the tool for applications for which it was 

not intended.
