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.
WARNING: BE SURE SETUP IS
STABLE BEFORE LIFTING LOAD.
Cylinders should be placed on a flat
surface that can support the load.
Where applicable, use a cylinder base for
added stability. Do not weld or otherwise modify
the cylinder to attach a base or other support.
Avoid situations where loads are not
directly centered on the cylinder
plunger. Off-center loads produce
considerable strain on cylinders and plungers.
In addition, the load may slip or fall, causing
potentially dangerous results.
Distribute the load evenly across the
entire saddle surface. Always use a
saddle to protect the plunger.
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.
WARNING: Both oil ports must be
connected to a hydraulic line. These
cylinders do not have a safety valve
to prevent over pressurizing. If one of the oil
ports is plugged, the pressure may exceed
10,000 psi (700 bar) during operation.
3.0 INSTALLATION
1. Install attachments.
CAUTION: USE PLUNGER HOLE
(3) TO PREVENT ROTATION OF
PLUNGER WHEN INSTALLING
AND TORQUING ATTACHMENTS. Rotating
the plunger will damage the inside of the
cylinder.
When tightening attachments (1) to the plunger
threads (2), use the hole (3) to prevent the
plunger from turning. Hold the plunger in place
by using a pin (or spanner) wrench (4).
Torque requirements vary according to
application and type of attachment. Excessive
tightening can damage cylinder parts and/or
attachments.
2. Mount cylinder. Base mounting (1) and
flange mounting (2) attachments are shown
below.
