DANGER: To avoid serious personal injury, keep
hands and feet away from hydraulic cylinder and
related components during jack operation.
DANGER: Do not handle pressurized lines. Escaping oil
under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury. If oil is injected under the skin, see a doctor
immediately.
WARNING: The jack's internal relief valve must not be
repaired or adjusted except by an authorized service
center. Never tamper with overload protection devices.
Higher settings may result in equipment damage and/or personal
injury.
CAUTION: When jack is not in use, fully retract the
cylinder and protect the entire unit from external damage.
Keep the jack clean, avoid weld splatter, and store in a
clean dry area. INSPECT ALL JACK COMPONENTS BEFORE USE.
CAUTION: Keep the jack away from fl ames and
heat. For optimum performance, do not expose the
jack to temperatures above 65 °C [150 °F].
WARNING: 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 lifting
saddle of the jack. If the jack is not perpendicular to the load,
slipping or loss of load is possible.
WARNING: 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 jack, resulting in
property damage and/or personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic equipment must only be
serviced by a qualifi ed hydraulic technician. For repair
service, contact the Authorized ENERPAC Service Center
in your area. To protect your warranty, use only ENERPAC oil.
WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
WARNING: The jack is to be used for lifting only! Support
the load after completing the lift using approved
accessories or by other appropriate means. Never get
under a load being supported only by the jack.
WARNING: Never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
Allow for a margin of safety that accounts for possible
shifting loads or side loading conditions.
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.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to jack internal
components, do not continue pressurizing the jack
cylinder after it reaches maximum extension or
retraction.

4.0 INITIAL SETUP
4.1 Adding Oil
Before startup, remove the oil fi ll plug (callout #11) and check
oil level. Oil level should be about 1 inch [25 mm] below top of
reservoir. Add Enerpac HF hydraulic oil to reservoir if necessary.
See Section 6.1 for additional information.
4.2 Air Requirements
Lubricated air is necessary to provide shaft seal lubrication for the
air motor, and to prevent rust. All models are equipped with an
automatic air line lubricator set to feed approximately 3 drops per
minute.
Before startup, check the level in the air line lubricator (callout #7)
and add additional lubricant if needed. Use an SAE 10 [ISO 32]
detergent oil or an approved antifreeze lubricant. See Section 6.4
for additional information.
A fi lter/regulator with moisture trap (callout #9) is installed in the
air line ahead of the motor. For e ciency of output and control
of speed, use an air line of not less than 3/4 inch pipe size. Air
pressure and fl ow must be at least 50 CFM @ 80 psi
[1416 l/min
@ 5,5 bar]. The air inlet connection is a 1/2" NPT female thread.
Be certain that compressed air is clean and dry. Moisture in the
air line can cause rust formation in the air motor and may result
in reduced performance. Allowing excessive moisture or foreign
particles to enter the air motor will void the Enerpac warranty.
4.3 Using the Jack for The First Time
Note: Refer to Section 5.0 for detailed jack operation instructions.
1. On PRAMA Series models, be sure that the control valve lever
is in the center (neutral/hold) position.
Note: On PRASA Series models, the air operated control valve
automatically returns to the center (neutral/hold) position when
the pendant buttons are not depressed.
15
14
2. Connect an air hose at the air inlet connection (callout #10).
Note: On PRAMA Series models, the motor will start immediately
when the air supply valve is opened. On pendant controlled
PRASA Series models, the motor will start automatically when
either pendant button is depressed.
3. Open the air supply valve (callout #4). Using the regulator
knob, adjust the air pressure to a minimum of 80 psi [5,5 bar].
IMPORTANT: Perform the following step with no load on jack.
4. Check for proper operation by fully extending and retracting
the cylinder (callout #13). Use the lever on the manual control
valve (callout #5 - PRAMA Series models) or the buttons on
the pendant (callout #6 - PRASA Series models) to control
cylinder movement. To remove air from system, cycle the
cylinder as needed until operation is smooth.
4.4 Using the Handle Assembly to Position the Jack
1. Push handle lock lever (callout #1) to release lock pin.
2. With lock pin released, position handle assembly (callout #2)
to desired location and release handle lock lever (callout #1)
to engage lock pin.
3. The jack can now be tilted back onto the wheels and pushed
or pulled to the work area. Use caution when walking
backwards.
4. If needed, the jack can be lifted using the lifting bar (callout
#3 - if equipped) or the lifting eyebolt(s) (callout #17 - if
equipped).
Note: Lifting bars are installed on short stroke PRAMA060, PRA_
A100 and PRASA150 Series models. Lifting bars are not used on
any long stroke models or on short stroke model PRASA20016L.
All long stroke models are equipped with one lifting eyebolt.
The short stroke model PRASA20016L is equipped with two
lifting eyebolts. Lifting eyebolts are not present on short stroke
PRAMA060, PRA_A100 and PRASA150 Series models.
3
WARNING: Lift the jack using only lifting eyebolt(s) or
lifting bar. Never attempt to lift the jack by using the
handle assembly. The handle assembly is to be used
only for transporting the jack on its wheels and for positioning
the jack under the jacking point.
5. Using the handle assembly, adjust the jack position so that
the cylinder load cap is centered under the jacking point of
the load.
WARNING: Be sure that the jack is positioned on a
solid and level support surface, with the lifting cylinder
perpendicular to the ground. Jacking at an angle can
allow the jack to slip out of position, resulting in loss of load. As
required, use a swivel load cap to properly engage angled lifting
points. Refer to Section 5.5 for additional information.

5.2 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:
Never place any part of your body under the
load at any time while it is being lifted, lowered, or
hydraulically supported by the Pow'r-Riser jack.
WARNING: The Pow'r-Riser jack is intended for lifting
purposes only and should not be used to hydraulically
support the load for any period of time after the lift has
been completed. Support the load with U-Rings or other suitable
load supports immediately after it has been lifted to the desired
height.
WARNING: Never leave the
Pow'r-Riser
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.
WARNING: Do not use the
Pow'r-Riser
jack outdoors in
windy conditions. Changes in wind direction or velocity
could cause the load to become unstable and fall.
5.3 Operating Instructions (See Figures 3, 4 and 5)
TO RAISE THE LOAD:
1. Be certain that the jack is positioned on a solid and level
surface, capable of supporting the load and the base of
the jack. Be sure that the lifting cylinder is perpendicular to
the ground. See Section 4.4 for additional jack positioning
instructions.
2. If a high jacking point requires a taller jack, install extensions
and spacers (optional accessories) on the cylinder as
required. Refer to Section 5.4 for installation instructions
and additional information about extensions and spacers.
3. Place a piece of plywood or other compression material
(approximately 1/4" [6,3 mm] thick with good friction
characteristics) between the cylinder load cap and the
jacking point. This will provide a small amount of cushioning
and will also help prevent damage to the jacking point.
4. To raise the load, open the air supply valve to start the motor.
Then, move the control valve lever to the extend position. If
jack is equipped with pendant, depress the up-arrow button
to start motor and extend cylinder.
CAUTION: When lifting with more than one jack, be
especially careful to keep the load level. Leveling is best
accomplished by throttling with the air supply valve or
by alternating and stopping jacks to keep the load level enough
so it remains stable.
5. When load has reached the desired height, move the control
valve lever to the center (neutral/hold) position. If jack is
equipped with pendant, release up-arrow button to return
valve back to the center (neutral/hold) position.
6. Be sure that the proper Enerpac U-Rings are installed on
the cylinder (refer to Section 5.6 for U-Ring installation and
stacking instructions). If U-Rings are not used, be sure that
other load supports of appropriate load rating are in place.
7. Move the control valve lever to the retract position. Allow the
load to lower until it is supported by the U-Rings or other
load supports. Then, return the lever to the center (neutral/
hold) position. If jack is equipped with pendant, depress and
release the down-arrow button as required, until the load is
supported by the U-Rings or load supports.
4

WARNING: After lifting is completed, always support
the load using the proper Enerpac U-Rings or
appropriately rated load supports. Never rely on the
cylinder's hydraulic pressure to support the lifted load.
WARNING: Wait an appropriate amount of time before
working under the load after it is supported by U-Rings
or load supports. Any settling of jack base or load
supports into the ground below must not exceed 1/4 inch [6.4
mm]. If additional settling occurs, reposition jack or load supports
on solid ground.
IMPORTANT: if there is to be no cylinder movement for more
than one minute, it is recommended that the motor be turned
o to prevent overheating of pump and air motor (models with
manual control valve only).
TO LOWER THE LOAD:
1. Be sure the control valve lever is in the center (neutral/hold)
position. If jack is equipped with pendant, be sure that both
buttons are released (not pressed) so that valve returns back
to the center position.
2. Open the air supply valve. On models equipped with a
manual control valve, the motor will start.
3. Move the control valve lever to the extend position or depress
the pendant up-arrow button. Allow cylinder to advance a
small amount, so that load is lifted o of U-Rings or clears
the load supports. Then place the control valve lever in the
center (neutral/hold) position or release the up-arrow button.
4. After the U-Rings or load supports are removed, move the
control valve lever to the retract position or depress the
pendant down-arrow button to retract the cylinder.
CAUTION: Be careful while lowering to ensure that the
load is lowered evenly, so that load shifting does not
occur.
5. When load has been fully lowered, place the control valve
lever in the center (neutral/hold) position or release the
pendant down-arrow button. On models with manual control
valve, close the air supply valve to stop the motor.
AFTER COMPLETING THE JOB:
Fully retract the cylinder and close the air supply valve.
With the
motor o , shift the control valve several times between the extend
and retract positions to relieve system pressure.
Disconnect the air supply hose and remove any extensions or
spacers from the cylinder. Place U-Rings (if used) on the storage
rack provided on the jack.
Always store the jack and its accessories in a clean and dry area,
free of moisture and direct sunlight.
5.4 Stacking Instructions - Extensions and Spacers
(See Figure 4)
Extensions and spacers are available as optional accessories
from your Enerpac authorized distributor. They may be ordered
individually or in sets. Refer to tables 3 and 4 for additional
information.
PRE Series extensions allow the jack's useful lifting height to
be increased in increments of 5, 7, 9 or 11 inches [127, 178,
229 or 279 mm]. On short stroke Pow'r-Riser models only, larger
extensions can also be used, allowing the useful lifting height to
be increased in increments of 14 or 18 inches [356 or 457 mm].
PRS Series spacers allow additional fi ne adjustment of the
extension stack height. They may be used alone or in conjunction
with PRE Series extensions.

WARNING: Failure to observe the following instructions
could allow load to shift or drop. Serious personal injury
and/or property damage may result.
When using PRE Series extensions and/or PRS Series spacers,
always obey the following rules:
• For loads up to 60 tons [54 metric tons]: Any two PRE Series
extensions may be included in the stacking arrangement,
provided that the maximum stack height (See Table 5) is not
exceeded and the following exceptions are observed:
1) Jack model
PRAMA06014L:Only one PRE18 extension
can be included in the stacking arrangement.
2) All jack models ending in “16L”:
Only one PRE11, PRE14
or PRE18 extension can be included in the stacking arrangement.
3) All jack models ending in “27L”: Extensions PRE14 and
PRE18 cannot be included in the stacking arrangement. These
extensions are designed for short stroke jacks only (models
ending in “14L” and “16L”).
• For loads over 60 tons [54 metric tons], or strokes over
14 inches [356 mm]: Only one PRE Series extension and
one PRS Series spacer can be included in the stacking
arrangement.
• Never exceed 3 inches [76 mm] in total spacer height.
• Never exceed the maximum additional stack height for your
jack model. Refer to Table 5, dimension “X”.
Table 5 - Maximum Additional Stack Height Using
Optional PRE Series Extensions and PRS Series Spacers
A non-swivel load cap is included with the jack as standard
equipment. A swivel load cap is available as an optional
accessory. Refer to Table 6 for a list of load cap model numbers.
IMPORTANT: Use a swivel load cap to properly engage angled
lifting points. A swivel load cap should always be used when the
amount of misalignment between the standard load cap and the
lifting point is too large to be compensated for by use of plywood
or other suitable compression material alone.
Pow'r-Riser U-Rings (optional accessories) allow positive
mechanical load holding of a lifted load. The U-Rings are placed
on top of the cylinder housing and around the extended cylinder
rod. They are available in fi ve di erent lengths for each Pow'rRiser model.
To help ensure proper alignment and installation, the top surface
of the cylinder housing and the top surface of each U-Ring
contains a raised locator. The bottom surface of each U-Ring
contains a mating recess.
The U-Rings are made of steel and aluminum. A steel U-Ring
must always be positioned at the top and bottom ends of the
U-Ring stack. The aluminum U-Rings must always be located
in the middle of the stack, between the two steel U-Rings. This
stacking arrangement helps prevent damage to the aluminum
U-Rings.
CAUTION:
top or bottom end of the U-Ring stack.
Install U-Rings as described in the following steps:
1. Using the jack, raise the load to the desired lifting height.
Refer to the instructions in Section 5.3 of this manual.
2. Place one steel U-Ring on top of the cylinder housing,
around the extended cylinder rod.
3. As required, place one or more aluminum U-Rings on top
of the steel U-Ring, around the extended cylinder rod.
The quantity of aluminum U-Rings to be installed will vary,
depending on jack model, lifting height and the U-Ring set
being used. Refer to Table 7 for additional information.
4. Place a second steel U-Ring at the top of the U-Ring stack.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the arrow on each U-Ring is pointing up.
Be sure all locators are fully engaged in the mating recesses of
