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.
WARNING: USE ONLY RIGID PIECES TO HOLD LOADS.
Carefully select steel or wood blocks that are capable
of supporting the load. Never use a hydraulic cylinder
as a shim or spacer in any lifting or pressing application.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands
and feet away from cylinder and workpiece
during operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never
attempt to lift a load weighing more than the capacity
of the cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure
and possible personal injury. The cylinders are designed for a
max. pressure of 700 bar [10,000 psi]. 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 operating 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.
Using a bent or kinked hose will cause severe back-
pressure. Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the
hose leading to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact
may cause internal damage to hose wire strands.
Applying pressure to a damaged hose 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 optimum performance do
not expose equipment to temperatures of 65°C [150°F] or
higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
DANGER: Do not handle pressurized hoses. 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 hydraulic cylinders in a coupled
system. Never use a cylinder with unconnected
couplers. If the cylinder becomes extremely
overloaded, components can fail catastrophically causing
severe personal injury.

RFL-102 Regulator-Filter-
Lubricator
• Regulates air pressure
• Filter air input
• Lubricates air motors with
a fine oil vapor mist
• Maximum air flow 48 scfm

WARNING: BE SURE SETUP IS STABLE BEFORE
LIFTING LOAD. Cylinders 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
otherwise modify the cylinder to attach a base or other support.
Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered
on the cylinder plunger. Off-center loads produce
considerable strain on cylinders and plungers. In
addition, the load may slip or fall, causing potentially
dangerous results.
Distribute 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. To protect your warranty, use only
ENERPAC oil.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged
parts by 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.
3.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE READ
THIS ENTIRE PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET.
Your unit has a polycarbonate bowl, so note the special
warnings.
2. EXCEPT as otherwise specified by the manufacturer, this
product is designed for compressed air service, and use with
any other fluid (liquid or gas) is a misapplication. For example,
use with, or injection of certain hazardous liquids or gases in
the system (such as alcohol or liquid petroleum gas) could be
harmful to the unit or result in a combustible condition or
hazardous external leakage. Before using with fluids other
than air, or for non-industrial applications, or for life support
systems, consult manufacturer for written approval.
Maximum temperature and pressure ratings for
polycarbonate bowls are 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 degrees
Celsius) and 150 PSIG (10.3 Bar).
3. INSTALL as close as possible to point where air is being used
4. INSTALL unit with air flowing through the body in direction
indicated by arrow.
5. INSTALL unit ahead of equipment that requires regulated,
filtered, lubricated air.
6. INSTALL a Regulator/Filter/Lubricator that has the same size
as the pipe line on which it will be mounted. Avoid using
fittings, couplings, etc. that restrict the air flow.
7. INSTALL unit in a vertical position with pressure adjusting
handle up.
8. OTHER regulated air pressure lines may be run from the other
gauge port as well as the outlet port. In addition, the gauge
may be moved to the port on the opposite side of the
regulator.
9. PLUG any unused port.
10. To adjust air pressure, turn adjustment knob clockwise to
raise the regulated pressure and counterclockwise to lower
the regulated pressure.
11. FILL lubricator by pouring the oil into the bowl through the fill
port. Lubricator can be filled while pressurized.
12. USE CLEAN, NONDETERGENT OIL, preferably SAE 10 or
lighter. The rate of oil delivery may be controlled by turning
the adjusting screw counterclockwise for more, and
clockwise for less oil delivered. Once set, the variable orifice
in the lubricator will maintain the same ratio of oil to airflow
regardless of any change in airflow rate.
4.0 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. DEPRESSURIZE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING GUARD
AND/OR BOWL.
2. INSPECT BOWL daily to detect crazing, cracking, damage, or
deterioration. Immediately replace any crazed, cracked,

and metal bowl guard.
6. CAUTION: certain compressor oils, household cleaners,
solvents, paints, and fumes will attack polycarbonate bowls
and can cause bowl failures. (Refer to list on page 5.)
7. DO INSPECT polycarbonate bowls daily to detect crazing,
cracking, damage, or deterioration. Immediately replace any
crazed, cracked, damaged or deteriorated bowl with a new
polycarbonate bowl and metal bowl guard.
DO NOT PLACE polycarbonate bowl units in service
without metal bowl guard installed.
Polycarbonate bowl units are sold only with metal bowl
guards. To minimize the danger of flying fragments in the
event of polycarbonate bowl failure, the metal bowl
guards should not be removed. If the unit is in service without the
metal bowl guard installed, warranties are void, and Enerpac
assumes no responsibility for any resulting loss.
IF A UNIT has been in service and does not have a metal
bowl guard, order one and install before placing back in
service.
