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.
DANGER: To avoid personal
injury keep hands and feet away
from cylinder and workpiece during
operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment
ratings. Never attempt to lift a load
weighing more than the capacity of the
cylinder. Overloading causes equipment
failure and possible personal injury. The
cylinders are designed for a max. pressure
of 350 bar [5,000 psi]. Do not connect a jack
or cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure
rating.
Never set the relief valve to a higher
pressure than the maximum rated
pressure of the pump. Higher settings may
result in equipment damage and/or personal
injury.
WARNING: The system operating
pressure must not exceed the
pressure rating of the lowest rated
component in the system. Install pressure
gauges in the system to monitor operating
pressure. It is your window to what is
happening in the system.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging hydraulic
hose. Avoid sharp bends and kinks
when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a bent
or kinked hose will cause severe back-
pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will
internally damage the hose leading to
premature hose failure.
®
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A
sharp impact may cause internal
damage to hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it
to rupture.
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
