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 10,000 psi [700 bar].
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.
We recommend the use of special loosening
liquids or sprays. Enerpac hydraulic torque
wrenches offer both square and hexagon
drive units to loosen or tighten bolts and nuts. Enerpac
offers nut splitters in case a nut can not be removed.
