clarification.
If you have never been trained on high-pressure hydraulic
safety, consult your distributor or service center for information
about an Enerpac Hydraulic Safety Course.
This manual follows a system of safety alert symbols, signal
words and safety messages to warn the user of specific hazards.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in death or
serious personal injury, as well as damage to the equipment or

injury hazards. Pay close attention to Safety Alert
Symbols and obey all safety messages that follow this symbol
to avoid the possibility of death or serious personal injury.
Safety Alert Symbols are used in conjunction with certain
Signal Words that call attention to safety messages or property
damage messages and designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness. The Signal Words used in this manual are

2.2 Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and comply with the following precautions
could result in death or serious personal injury. Property
damage could also occur.
• Read and completely understand the safety precautions
and instructions in this manual before operating the puller or
preparing it for use.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such
as safety glasses and face shield. The operator must take
precautions against injury due to flying debris caused by
possible failure of the tool or workpiece.
• Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes
equipment failure and possible personal injury. The manifolds
are designed for a max. pressure of 10,150 psi [700 bar]. Do
not connect a jack or cylinder to the manifold with a higher
pressure rating.
• During operation, keep hands and fingers away from the
work area to avoid personal injury.
• Use hydraulic pressure gauges to verify proper operating
pressure in the hydraulic system. Do NOT exceed maximum
pressure limits of the lowest rated component in your system.
Always use high pressure hoses and fittings.
• The system operating pressure must not exceed the pressure
rating of the lowest rated component in the system. Check
the pressure in the gauges in the system to monitor operating
pressure. It is your window to what is happening in the system.
• Always read, understand and follow all safety precautions
and instructions, including those that are contained within the
procedures of this manual.
• On double-acting cylinders be certain that hoses are
connected at BOTH couplers. Never attempt to pressurize a
double-acting cylinder if only one hose is connected.
• Fully hand-tighten all couplers. Loose coupler connections
will block the fl ow of oil between the pump and the cylinder.
• Hand-tighten adapters and attachments until full thread
engagement occurs and the item can no longer be turned by
hand. Do not use tools.
