1.2 Safety Precautions - Pow'R-LOCK
System
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with the following precautions
could result in death or serious personal injury. Property
damage could also occur.
• Keep hands and feet away from hydraulic cylinder and
related components during jack operation.
• Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE)
when operating hydraulic equipment (such as gloves, eye
protection, head protection, protective footware, etc.).
• Do not handle pressurized lines. Escaping oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious personal
injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor
immediately.
• The jack is to be used only for lifting loads and for
supporting lifted loads. Never use the jack for pushing
or separating objects, or for other non-lifting related
purposes.
• Never exceed the rated capacity of the jack. Allow for a
margin of safety that accounts for possible shifting loads
or side loading conditions. Failure to follow this warning
could cause the jack to fail.
• Never tamper with overload protection devices. The jack's
internal relief valve must not be repaired or adjusted
except by an authorized service center. The maximum
rated hydraulic pressure of the jack hydraulic system is
10000 psi [700 bar]. Higher settings may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
• Be sure lifting arrangement is stable before lifting load.
Use jack only on a solid and level surface, capable of
supporting the load and the base of the jack. Always
center the load on the load cap of the jack. If the jack is
not perpendicular to the load, slipping or loss of load is
possible.
• Distribute the load evenly when performing lifts with
multiple jacks. Failure to heed this warning may cause loss
of load and/or failure of the jacks.
• Be aware of external events and acts of nature (wind,
storms, fl ooding, earthquakes or other seismic activity,
etc.) that could occur either while the jack is in active use,
or while it is left loaded and unattended. Do not use the
jack if it is likely that such conditions will occur.

5.0 ASSEMBLY AND SETUP
5.1 Important Receiving Instructions
Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. Shipping
damage is not covered by warranty. If shipping damage is found,
notify carrier at once. The carrier is responsible for all repair and
replacement costs resulting from damage in shipment.
NOTICE
The jack rear access cover must be removed to gain
access to various components and service items discussed in
sections 5.2 through 5.4. Refer to Section 7.1 for cover removal
instructions.
5.2 Hydraulic Oil Level
Before using the jack or connecting the air supply, remove the
oil fi ll plug from the hydraulic reservoir and check the oil level.
Add additional hydraulic oil to reservoir if oil level is low. See
Section 7.3 for oil level diagram, oil specifi cations and additional
instructions.
5.3 Compressed Air Requirements
The compressed air system used with the jack must be capable
of providing 80 - 100 psi [5,5 - 6,9 bar] @ 130 CFM [3681 l/min].
The jack is equipped with an air fi lter/regulator assembly, which
consists of an air regulator, pressure gauge and moisture trap.
See Figure 3, items A, B and F.
A short hose connects the fi lter/regulator to the air-shuto valve.
The air inlet connection is a 1/2 inch NPT female thread. See
Figure 3, items C, D and E. Refer to Figure 4 for shut-o valve
positions.
For e ciency of output and reliable operation, an air supply
line of not less than 0.82 inch [20,8 mm] internal diameter is
recommended. (Nominal Pipe Size - 3/4 inch pipe).
Check the air pressure gauge with the pendant UP button
depressed and the jack air motor running. Be sure there is NO
load on the cylinder. This will provide an accurate dynamic air
pressure reading.
The minimum dynamic air pressure required to operate the jack
will vary, but is typically about 50 to 60 psi [3,4 - 4,1 bar].
Approximately 90 to 100 psi [6,2 to 6,9 bar] dynamic air pressure
will be needed for the jack to achieve its rated 200 ton [1779 kN]
lifting capacity.
Lifting speed and torque can be adjusted using the knob located
at the top of the fi lter/regulator. To prevent damage to jack
pneumatic components, the regulator air pressure setting should
not exceed 120 psi [8,3 bar].

6.2 Calculating Load Floor Pressure Requirements
Before the jack is used, it must be verifi ed that the surface
below the jack is capable of supporting the load. The following
calculation will determine the approximate maximum pressure
that will be exerted by the jack against the surface of the fl oor or
ground, based on the load being lifted.
WARNING
fl oor and/or ground can safely support the load to be lifted,
the jack should not be used in that location. Avoid using jack
on overburden or ballast that can shift or crush under load.
Consult a qualifi ed professional, such as a licensed civil
engineer or building architect If there are any questions
or concerns regarding load fl oor pressure requirements.
Failure to observe this instruction may cause an unstable
lifting arrangement, resulting in loss of load, personal injury
and/or property damage.
LOAD FLOOR PRESSURE CALCULATION:
Weight of Load x Load Factor = Load Floor
• The load factor to be used for the imperial system is 0.0125.
• The load factor to be used for the metric system is 0.00194.

6.0 OPERATION
6.1 Jacking Safely
You must know the weight of what you intend to lift and choose
a jack with at least 20 percent additional capacity.
All persons operating the jack should obtain and be familiar with
the American National Standards Institute rules that apply to
hydraulic rams and jacks (ASME ANSI B30.1) or the equivalent
standards used in your country or region.
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with the following precautions
could result in death or serious personal injury:
• Never place any part of your body under the load at any
time while lifting or lowering is in progress. The load could
drop suddenly if it becomes unstable.
• Never leave the jack unattended during operation, even
for a brief period of time. Closely monitor jack operation
at all times and be prepared to stop lifting or lowering
immediately. Load could drop if it is not monitored while
jack is in use.
• Avoid placing external forces on the lifted load while it
is being supported by the jack. The load may become
unstable and fall.
• Do not use the jack outdoors in windy conditions.
Changes in wind direction or velocity could cause the load
to become unstable and fall.
• When lifting with more than one jack, be especially careful
to keep the load level. Leveling is best accomplished by
throttling with the air shut-o valve or by alternating and
stopping jacks to keep the load level enough so it remains
stable and does not drop.
• Never operate the jack with the jack front access cover
raised or removed. Serious personal injury could result
if fi ngers, hands or other body parts become entangled
in the lock nut drive chain mechanism, or in the cylinder
threads.
These load factors are applicable to all Pow’R-LOCK ™ jack
models.
EXAMPLE:
For a 100000 pound [45359 kg] load, the following equations
would apply:

1.2 Medidas de seguridad - Sistema de elevación portátil
Pow’R-LOCK
El incumplimiento de las siguientes precauciones de seguridad
podría ocasionar la muerte o lesiones graves. También podrían
producirse daños materiales.
• Mantenga las manos y los pies alejados del cilindro hidráulico y
sus componentes durante el funcionamiento del gato.
• Lleve siempre equipo de protección personal (PPE) al operar el
equipo hidráulico (como guantes, gafas protectoras, protección
de la cabeza, calzado de protección, etc.).
• No toque mangueras bajo presión. El aceite saliente bajo presión
puede penetrar la piel y causar lesiones graves. Consulte
inmediatamente a un médico, si se ha inyectado aceite debajo
de la piel.
• El gato debe utilizarse solo para la elevación de cargas y para
soportar cargas elevadas. Nunca utilice el gato para empujar o
separar objetos, o para otros fi nes que no estén relacionados
con la elevación.
• Nunca exceda la capacidad certifi cada del gato. Permita
un margen de seguridad que prevenga la posibilidad de
desplazamiento o desviación de la carga. El incumplimiento de
esta advertencia podría causar un fallo del gato.
• Nunca intente forzarlo con dispositivos de protección contra
sobrecarga. La válvula de alivio interna del gato solo debe ser
reparada o ajustada por un centro de servicio técnico autorizado.
La presión máxima de trabajo del sistema hidráulico del gato es
10000 psi [700 bar]. Ajustes mayores pueden provocar lesiones
personales y/o daños al equipo.
• Asegúrese de que el equipo está estable antes de levantar la
carga. Utilice el gato sobre una superfi cie sólida y nivelada,
capaz de soportar la carga y la base del gato. Coloque siempre
la carga en el centro de la silleta del gato. Si el gato no está
en posición perpendicular a la carga, esta podría deslizarse o
soltarse.
• Distribuya la carga de manera uniforme cuando efectúe
elevaciones con múltiples gatos. Si no cumple esta advertencia,
podría soltarse la carga y/o podría darse un fallo de los gatos.
• Tenga en cuenta los posibles acontecimientos externos y actos
de la naturaleza (viento, tormentas, inundaciones, terremotos
u otra actividad sísmica, etc.) que podrían ocurrir mientras el
gato está en uso, o mientras se deje cargado sin supervisión.
No utilice el gato si es probable que estas condiciones podrían
ocurrir.

ADVERTENCIA
PRECAUCIÓN
El incumplimiento de las siguientes precauciones de seguridad
podría ocasionar lesiones menores o moderadas. También podrían
producirse daños materiales.
• Cuando no se utilice el gato, retraiga completamente el cilindro
y proteja toda la unidad de daños externos. Mantenga el gato
limpio, evite salpicaduras de soldaduras y guárdelo en un lugar
limpio y seco. El incumplimiento de estas precauciones puede
provocar un funcionamiento errático, menor rendimiento, mayor
desgaste y/o daño al gato.
• Mantenga el gato alejado de llamas y calor. Para un rendimiento
óptimo, no exponga el gato a temperaturas superiores a 150 ºF
[65 ºC]. El incumplimiento de estas precauciones puede provocar
un funcionamiento errático, menor rendimiento, mayor desgaste
y/o daño al gato.
• Sustituya inmediatamente las piezas desgastadas o dañadas
por piezas originales de Enerpac. Las piezas de Enerpac están
diseñadas para encajar debidamente y resistir grandes cargas.
Piezas que no sean de Enerpac pueden romperse o causar un
fallo del gato.
ATENCIÓN
• El gato no está diseñado para un soporte prolongado de objetos
elevados. Si la carga debe permanecer apoyada por más de 30 días,
utilice dispositivos de soporte de carga de una capacidad apropiada
para soportar la carga.
• El mantenimiento del equipo hidráulico solo debe ser realizado por
un técnico hidráulico cualifi cado. Comuníquese con el Centro de
Servicio Autorizado de Enerpac en su zona para prestarle servicio
de reparaciones.

El transportista es responsable de todos los gastos de reparación y
sustitución ocasionados por daños producidos durante el transporte.
ATENCIÓN
Debe quitar la tapa de acceso trasera del gato para acceder
a varios componentes y las piezas de servicio que se describen en los
párrafos 5.2 a 5.4. Consulte el párrafo 7.1 para las instrucciones para
retirar la tapa.
5.2 Nivel de aceite hidráulico
elimine la presión tal como se describe en el párrafo 7.2 de este
manual.
Antes de usar el gato, compruebe el nivel de lubricante en la mirilla
del lubricador para la línea de aire. Añada más lubricante si el nivel es
bajo. Consulte el párrafo 7.6 para las recomendaciones de lubricantes e
información adicional sobre el lubricador de aire.
Después de haber conectado la manguera de suministro de aire,
observe el fl ujo de aceite por la mirilla de goteo de aceite mientras el
cilindro está en movimiento. Compruebe si la velocidad de goteo del
lubricador es de 4 a 5 gotas por minuto.
ATENCIÓN
motor de aire debe estar funcionando y el cilindro debe subir y bajar.
Antes de utilizar el gato o conectar el suministro de aire, debe retirar el
tapón de llenado de aceite del depósito hidráulico y comprobar el nivel
de aceite. Añada aceite hidráulico en el depósito si el nivel del aceite
hidráulico es bajo. Consulte el párrafo 7.3. para la tabla de niveles de
aceite, especifi caciones de aceite e instrucciones adicionales.
5.3 Requisitos del aire comprimido
El sistema de aire comprimido para el gato debe ser capaz de producir
80 - 100 psi [5,5 - 6,9 bar] @ 130 CFM [3681 l/min].
El gato está equipado con un fi ltro/regulador de aire, que consiste en un
regulador de aire, manómetro y un colector de humedad. Véase fi gura
3, piezas A, B y F.
Una manguera corta conecta el fi ltro/regulador a la válvula de suministro
de aire. La conexión de entrada de aire es una rosca hembra 1/2
pulgadas NPT. Véase fi gura 3, piezas C, D y E. Consulte fi gura 4 para las
posiciones de la válvula de suministro.
Para conseguir efi ciencia en la salida de aire y un funcionamiento fi able,
se recomienda una línea de aire de alimentación con un diámetro interior
de al menos 0.82 pulgadas [20,8 mm]. (Tamaño nominal de tubo - tubo
de 3/4 pulgadas).
Compruebe el manómetro con el botón SUBIR en la botonera apretado
y el motor de aire del gato en marcha. Asegúrese de que NO haya
carga en el cilindro. Esto proporcionará una lectura exacta de la presión
dinámica del aire.
La presión dinámica mínima del aire necesaria para hacer funcionar el
gato puede variar, pero es típicamente unos 50 a 60 psi [3,4 - 4,1 bar].
Para que el gato alcance su capacidad de elevación nominal de 200
toneladas [1779 kN] se necesita una presión dinámica de aire de
aproximadamente 90 a 100 psi [6,2 a 6,9 bar].
La velocidad de elevación y par de torsión se pueden regular mediante
el botón situado encima del fi ltro/regulador. Para evitar que se dañen los
componentes del gato, el ajuste de la presión del regulador de aire no
debe exceder los 120 psi [8,3 bar].
ATENCIÓN
reducirán la vida útil del motor de aire y anularán la garantía de Enerpac
del producto.
