Personnel
As a minimum, we recommend that all
personnel operating or working in the vicinity of
hydraulic equipment wear basic PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) such as eye, ear, head,
hand, and foot protection. Only trained and
competent users should be allowed to directly
operate or operate around McCoy equipment.
Safety guidelines suggested by McCoy are
in no way intended to supersede the speci c
health and safety regulations outlined by the
end user. Personnel safety guidelines and safe
workplace practices are the responsibility of the
end user.
Intent of Use
The hydraulic equipment provided should only
be used for the intended purposes as outlined
by McCoy. Any attempt to use equipment for
purposes other than its original intent exposes
personnel to potentially unforeseen hazards
and will void all warranties guaranteed by
McCoy.
Modi cation of Equipment
Any attempt by the user to apply unapproved
modi cations to the equipment exposes
personnel to potential hazards and will void all
warranties guaranteed by McCoy. This includes
but is not limited to: bypassing or otherwise
disabling engineered safety features, use of
unapproved replacement parts, or jury-rigging
of any component or feature.
Nature of Equipment
When attempting any operation with McCoy
equipment, the heavy duty nature of the
equipment and extreme forces generated when
the equipment components are put into motion
should always be taken into account in order to
maximize user safety and maintain equipment
longevity.
Rotary Components
Equipment doors should never be opened
when equipment components are under
load or rotating at a high rate of speed,
as this puts tremendous stress on internal
components and may lead to equipment failure.
Any damage incurred as a result is not covered
under any warranties.
Damaged or Faulty Components
Equipment with components that are operating
in a faulty manner or have otherwise been
signi cantly damaged must be immediately
removed from service until such a time that
it can be repaired or replaced by a quali ed
technician. Continued use of faulty or damaged
equipment exposes personnel to signi cant
hazards and may compromise the longevity of
the equipment.
Local Regulations
When placing equipment into service, local laws,
codes, and regulations must be considered and
adhered to. It is the responsibility of the end
user to be aware of any such regulations and
make preparations accordingly before placing
equipment into service.
Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic oil used in McCoy equipment must be
 ltered to a minimum of 10 microns. Hydraulic
oil contamination can be the cause of many
costly repairs. Please review the Hydraulic
Fluid Maintenance section before implementing
a hydraulic  uid maintenance routine.
Die Selection
Never attempt to clamp onto tubulars with
incorrectly sized dies. It is imperative that
operators be aware of the size of tubular to
be gripped and that the jaw and die system in
use is appropriately sized. Use of incorrectly
size dies poses a hazard to personnel and
may damage equipment. Please see your
equipment’s Spare Parts Manual for a list of
compatible jaws & dies.
Electrical Components
Extreme caution must be exercised when
connecting or disconnecting electrical cables
when in a potentially hazardous environment.
Electrical boxes which are pre-sealed from the
factory must never be opened due to the risk
of spark in potentially explosive atmospheres.
