Do not weld or otherwise modify the cylinder toattach a base or other support.– Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on thecylinder plunger. Off-center loads produce considerablestrain on cylinders and plungers. In addition, the load may slipor fall, causing potentially dangerous results.– Distribute the load evenly across the entire saddle surface. Tiltsaddles are available to reduce offset loading (except 100ton models). Always use a saddle to protect the plungerwhen threaded attachments are not used.WARNINGUSE ONLY RIGID PIECES TO HOLD LOADS.
