3.0 INSTALLATION (Refer to Figure 1)
3.1 Press Mounting
DANGER: Mount the press securely. Unstable
positioning may cause the press to tip, resulting
in serious personal injury or equipment damage.
If the press is to be mounted to the floor or some other foundation,
lower press bed to lowest set of holes before drilling and bolting
down. This will ensure that the press does not twist and that the
bed will line up with all sets of holes in the legs.
3.2 Hydraulic Connections
1. Connect the Hose(s) from the Pump to the Cylinder
2. Tighten all couplers and fittings.
NOTE: Use 11⁄2 wraps of Teflon tape on the NPTF threads, leaving
the first complete thread free of tape to ensure that pieces of tape
do not enter the hydraulic system, causing leakage or damage.
4.0 OPERATION/ADVANCING AND RETRACTING THE
CYLINDER
IMPORTANT: The frameworks of the workshop presses are
exclusively designed for pressing operation, not for pulling. For
pulling applications please contact ENERPAC.
For complete operating instructions refer to the instruction sheets
included with each pump and cylinder.
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that the operator has a full
understanding of all instructions, safety regulations, cautions,
and warnings before starting to operate any of this high-force tool
equipment. In case of doubt, contact Enerpac.
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 700 bar. 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
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.
WARNING: BE SURE SETUP IS STABLE
BEFORE LIFTING LOAD. Cylinders should
be placed on a fl at surface that can support
the load. Where applicable, use a cylinder
base for added stability. Do not weld or otherwise modify the
cylinder to attach a base or other support.
Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on the
cylinder plunger. Off-center loads produce considerable strain
on cylinders and plungers. In addition, the load may slip or fall,
causing potentially dangerous results. Distribute the load evenly
across the entire saddle surface. Always use a saddle to protect
the plunger.
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 with 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.
