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

A DANGER is only used when your action or lack

WARNING: Aluminum cylinders
sold by Enerpac have been
designed to safely withstand up to
5,000 full pressurization cycles. THIS LIMIT
SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED. Use of these
cylinders beyond their rated life can lead to
sudden failure without warning and could
cause property damage, injury, or death.
WARNING: The steel base plate
protects the cylinder base from
damage and should not be removed.
The base holes in these aluminum cylinders
are designed for securing the steel base plate.
They will not withstand the capacity of the
cylinder.
Do not use the base holes in these
aluminum cylinders to attach any device to the
cylinder.
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.
