2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
Failure to comply with the following
cautions and warnings could cause
equipment damage and personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Minimum age of the
operator must be 18 years. The operator
must have read and understood all
instructions, safety issues, cautions and
warnings before starting to operate the Enerpac
equipment. The operator is responsible for this
activity towards other persons.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and
possible equipment damage, make sure all
hydraulic components withstand the
maximum pressure of 700 bar [10,000 psi].
IMPORTANT: Minimize the risk of
overloading. Use hydraulic gauges in each
hydraulic system to indicate safe operating
loads. It is your window to what is
happening in the system.
WARNING: Do not overload equipment.
Overloading causes equipment failure and
possible personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure that all system
components are protected from external
sources of damage, such as excessive
heat, flame, moving machine parts, sharp
edges and corrosive chemicals.
CAUTION: Avoid sharp bends and kinks
that will cause severe back-up pressure in
hoses. Bends and kinks lead to premature
hose failure.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or
damaged parts with genuine Enerpac
parts. Enerpac parts are designed to fit
properly and withstand rated loads.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses.
The operator must take precaution against
injury due to failure of the tool or workpiece
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: Never pressurize uncoupled
couplers. Only use hydraulic equipment in
a coupled system.
IMPORTANT: DO not lift hydraulic
equipment by the hoses or couplers. Use
the carrying handle or other means of safe
transport.
WARNING: Never place fingers in a joint
held by activated wedge unless a safety
block is located into the joint.
CAUTION: The handle of the wedge is
there to stop operators holding spread
plates as the wedge is retracted. This will
stop fingers becoming jammed between plates.
CAUTION: Never hammer or force wedge
to access gap.
CAUTION: Don’t operate the equipment
without lubricating the wedge and the 4
slide pins. Use high quality grease.
