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.
