SAFETY FIRST
2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
Read all instructions, warnings and cautions
carefully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid
personal injury or property damage during
system operation. Enerpac cannot be responsible for damage or injury
resulting from unsafe product use, lack of maintenance or incorrect
product and/or system operation. Contact Enerpac when in doubt as
to the safety precautions and operations. If you have never been
trained on high-pressure hydraulic safety, consult your distribution or
service center for a free Enerpac Hydraulic safety course.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could
cause equipment damage and personal injury.
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance
procedures and practices to prevent damage to, or destruction of
equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct
procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause
serious injury or even death.
WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
WARNING: Stay clear of loads supported by hydraulics. A
cylinder, when used as a load lifting device, should never be
used as a load holding device. After the load has been raised
or lowered, it must always be blocked mechanically.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands and feet
away from cylinder and workpiece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never attempt
to lift a load weighing more than the capacity of the cylinder.
Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal
injury. The cylinders are designed for a max. pressure of 350 bar
[5,000 psi]. Do not connect a jack or cylinder to a pump with a higher
pressure rating.

Air / Hydraulic Boosters
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the
maximum rated pressure of the pump. Higher settings may
result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not exceed
the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the
system. Install pressure gauges in the system to monitor
operating pressure. It is your window to what is happening in the
system.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp
bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent
or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure. Sharp
bends and kinks will internally damage the hose leading to premature
hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may
cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or
swivel couplers. Use the carrying handle or other means of
safe transport.
CAUTION: Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames
and heat. Excessive heat will soften packings and seals,
resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials and
packings. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to
temperatures of 65 °C [150 °F] or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders
from weld spatter.
DANGER: Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil
under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
WARNING: Only use hydraulic cylinders in a coupled system.
Never use a cylinder with unconnected couplers. If the cylinder
becomes extremely overloaded, components can fail
catastrophically causing severe personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by
a qualified hydraulic technician. For repair service, contact
the Authorized ENERPAC Service Center in your area. To
protect your warranty, use only ENERPAC oil.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged parts by
genuine ENERPAC parts. Standard grade parts will break
causing personal injury and property damage. ENERPAC parts
are designed to fit properly and withstand high loads.
