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.
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.
3.0 INSTALLATION
The Enerpac link clamp can be installed with the
clamp arm in one of three different locations. The
clamps can be mounted to the fixture using either the
threaded body or the supplied mounting bolts. Oil
can be supplied to the clamp using either the
threaded hydraulic ports on the flange or via the O-
ring ports on the underside of the flange. The
sections that follow provide detailed mounting
instructions and should be reviewed before
attempting to install the clamps on the fixture.
3.1 Clamp Arm Location
The arm and linkage can be positioned in any of three
different positions as shown in Figure 1 below. The
anchor post threads into the top flange of the cylinder
in any of the three threaded holes. Thread the anchor
post into the flange until it bottoms out, then turn the
post back up to 1/2 turn in order to line up the pivot
pin hole perpendicular to the desired clamp direction
(Figure 2). Make sure that the hole in the plunger is
lined up parallel to the hole in the anchor post.

Line up the two (2) links with the hole in the anchor
post. Insert one (1) of the long pivot pins through the
links and the anchor post. Secure the pivot pin in
place using two (2) of the supplied E-clips (Figure 3).
