SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid personal injury during system operation, read and follow all
CAUTIONS, WARNINGS, and INSTRUCTIONS included with or attached
to each product. ENERPAC CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM UNSAFE USE OF PRODUCT, LACK OF
MAINTENANCE, OR INCORRECT PRODUCT OR SYSTEM
APPLICATION. Contact Enerpac when in doubt about applications and
safety precautions.
WARNING
Be certain that ALL system components, including couplers, fittings, pipes,
and tubing, are rated for the maximum operating pressure of the system. The
system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest
rated component in the system or system failure may occur, resulting in serious
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Always wear proper personal protective gear, when operating hydraulic
equipment.
WARNING
Make sure that all system components are protected from
external sources of damage, such as excessive heat, flame, weld
spatter, moving machine parts, sharp edges, and corrosive
chemicals. Do not expose hoses to temperatures of 150°F [65°C]
or higher.
WARNING
NEVER make or break hydraulic connections while the
system is under pressure.
WARNING
Wear proper personal protective gear when operating
hydraulic equipment.
WARNING
Do not handle hoses under pressure. Replace damaged
hoses immediately. Hydraulic fluid escaping through a small
hole can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If oil is
injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use hydraulic hose to carry hydraulic components
such as pumps or cylinders.
CAUTION
Use only the manufacturer's recommended fluid. Do not mix fluids in a
system. Use only fluids that are compatible with system components, or seals and
hoses will be damaged. Synthetic and fireproof fluids require special seals and
hoses. Contact the nearest authorized service center or the manufacturer for
recommendation.
