SAFETY FIRST
2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
Read all instructions, warnings and cautions
carefully. Follow all safety precautions to
avoid personal injury or property damage
during system operation. Enerpac cannot be responsible
for damage or injury resulting from unsafe product use,
lack of maintenance or incorrect product and/or system
operation. Contact Enerpac when in doubt as to the safety
precautions and operations. If you have never been
trained on high-pressure hydraulic safety, consult your
distribution or service center for a free Enerpac Hydraulic
safety course.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings
could cause equipment damage and personal injury.
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or
maintenance procedures and practices to prevent damage
to, or destruction of equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires
correct procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action
may cause serious injury or even death.
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.

workpiece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings.
Never attempt to lift a load weighing more than
the capacity of the cylinder. Overloading
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure
than the maximum rated pressure of the pump.
Higher settings may result in equipment
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not
exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated
component in the system. Install pressure gauges in

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
