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.
WARNING: USE ONLY RIGID PIECES TO 
HOLD LOADS. Carefully select steel or 
wood blocks that are capable of supporting 
the load. Never use a hydraulic cylinder as 
a shim or spacer in any lifting or pressing application.
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 700 bar [10,000 psi]. Do not 
connect a jack or cylinder to a pump with a higher 
pressure rating.
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.
