2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Stay clear of loads suppor ted by
hydraulics. A cylinder, wh en used as a load lifting device, should ne ver be us e d as a loa d
holding device. After the load has been raised or lowered, it must always be blocked mechanically.
WARNING: use only rigid pieces to hold
loads. Carefully select steel or wood blocks
that are capable of supporting the load. Never use a hydraul ic cylinder as a shim or spac er in any lifting or pressing application.
WARNING: Wear proper personal protective
gear when operating hydraulic equ ipm ent .
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands and feet away from cylinder and workpiece during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never att empt to lift a lo ad weighing
more than the capacity of the cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even death.
1
CAUTION: 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 operatin g 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. Us ing a bent or kinked hose will cause severe backpressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose leading to premature hose failure.
CAUTION: Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying pressure to a damaged hos e 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 optim um performance do not expose equipment to temperatures of 65°C [150°F] or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
DANGER: Do not hand le pres surized h oses. 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 hydra ulic cylinders in a coupled system. Never use a cylinder with unconnected couplers. If the cylinder becomes extrem ely overloaded, com ponents can fail catastrophically causing severe personal injury.
WARNING: be sure setup is stable before lifting load. Cylin ders should be placed on a
flat surface that can support the load. Where
applicable, use a cylinder base for added stability. Do not weld or otherw ise modif y the cylinder to attach a base or other support.
CAUTION: Avo id situations where loads ar e not directly center ed on the c ylinder plunger. Off-center loads produce considerab le strain on cylinders and plungers. In addition, the load may slip or fall, causing potentially dangerous results.
CAUTION: D istribute 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.
WARNING: In case of leakage contact ENERPAC parts. Standard grade parts will break causing personal injury and property
damage. ENERPAC parts are designed to fit
properly and withstand high loads.
WARNING: Do not use electric pum ps in an explosive atmosphere. Adhere to all local and national electrical codes. A qualified electrician must do installation and modification
WARNING: Start the pump with the valve in the neutral position to prevent accidental cylinder operation. Keep hands clear of moving parts and pressurized hoses.
WARNING: These pumps have internal factory adjusted rel ief valv es , which m ust not be repaired or adjusted except by an Authorized Enerpac Service Center.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to pump electric motor, check specifications. Use of incorrect power source will damage the motor.
CAUTION: Check motor rotation dir ection to prevent damage to hydraulic pump (See 4.0 installation)

4.0 INSTALLATION

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.
Install or position the pump to ensure that air flow around the motor and pump is unobstruc ted. Keep the motor clean to ensure maximum cooling during operation.
1. The disconnection and line circuit protection to be provided by customer. Line circuit protection to be 115% of motor full load c urrent at maxim um pressure of application.
IMPORTANT: T he pumps with reservoir of 40 L. have the motor rotation direction sense. When connect the male plug to the e lectr ic main power, be s ur e tha t th ere is in the cor rect phase. If not, change th e phase of th e motor.

4.3 Hydraulic connections

IMPORTANT: Eliminate the presence of side load
forces when using hydraulic cylinders. Side load can occur through:
1. An eccentric load on the plunger.
2. A horizontal load on a structure.
3. A structure and/or cylinder misalignment.
4. Non synchronized lifting actions.
5. Non stable cylinder base support. Always use a flat, hard surface as a cylinder support
plate. Use a low friction mat erial on top of the saddle. To reduce cylinder offset loading, optional CATG­swivel saddles are available. Always use grease underneath swivel saddles.
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that the operator has a full understanding of all ins tructions, saf ety regulations , cautions and warnings, be fore starting to operate any of this high force tool equipment. In case of doubt, contact Enerpac.

4.1 Transportation

WARNING: On double-acti ng cylinders be certain that
hoses are connected to BOTH couplers. Ne ver attempt to pressurize a do uble-acting cylinder if only one hose is connected.
IMPORTANT: T o dec om press ports prior t o con nectin g hoses, move the manua l va lve s ev eral t imes in position advance and retract with the motor switched off (manual valves). For solenoid valves turn clockwise completely the valve handl er in every valve as showed in the picture (previous unlock the locknut) and leave finally valves deactivated.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

6.1 Check Oil Level

Check the oil level of the pump prior to start-up, and add oil, if necessary, by removing the fill port cap. Always be sure cylinders are fully retracted before adding fluid to the reservoir.

6.2 Change Oil and Clean Reservoir

Enerpac HF oil is a crisp blu e color. Frequently check oil condition for contam ination by comparing pump oil to new Enerpac oil. As a genera l rule, completel y drain and clean the reservoir every 250 hours, or more frequently if used in dirty environments.
NOTE: This procedure requires that you remove the pump from the res ervoir. Work on a clean bench and dispose of used oil according to local codes.
1. Unscrew the bolts holding the cover plate to the reservoir and lift the pum p unit out of the reser voir. Be careful not to damage the filter screen.
2. Pour all oil out of the reservoir.
3. Thoroughly clean t he reser voir and reser voir m agnet with a suitable cleaning agent.
4. Reassemble the pump and reservoir
5. Fill the reservoir with clean Enerpac hydraulic oil. The reservoir is full when oil level is in middle of the sight gauge

6.3 Changing the Filter Element

The f ilter element shou ld be replaced e very 250 hours, or more frequently in dirty environments. The filter manifold is equipped with a 25 psi (1,7 bar) b ypass to prevent over pressure rupture if filter plugging occurs and with a small gauge that shows the pressure when the filter is dirty (see in the hydraulic diagrams num 8).
6. Extract the cylinder plunger up to final. (When the plunger reaches the final of the stroke the pressure gets up. See in the manometer the m aximum pressure reached).
7. Turn the bolt (counter clockwise to decrease the pressure, or clockwise to increase the pressure) with the screw driver to reach the desired pressure.
8. Block the nut with the spanner to block the relief valve.
