• Never attempt to pry the puller by inserting tools or other
objects between the jaws. This may cause spindle damage.
• 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.
• It is impossible to predict the exact force needed for every
pulling situation. The amount of press fit and force of removal
can vary greatly between jobs. Set-up requirements along
with the size, shape and condition of the parts being pulled
are variables which must be considered. Study each pulling
application before you select your puller.
• Do not overload equipment. Use the correct size puller for
your application. If you have applied maximum force, and the
part still will not move, then use a larger capacity puller. Use
of a sledge hammer to loosen parts is not recommended.
• Do not use puller if threads on spindle, threaded collar or
hydraulic cylinder are damaged or worn. Do not use puller if
spindle is bent.
• Do not over-extend the hydraulic cylinder. Do not operate
the cylinder beyond the limits of its rated stroke.
• Align puller grip jaws as required. Be sure the setup is rigid
and that puller is square with the work. Apply force gradually.
• Never use a puller that is damaged, altered or in need of
repair.
• Always be sure that the spindle is loosened and hydraulic
pressure is completely relieved before performing any puller
adjustment or repair procedures. Never service the puller
while it is installed and under tension.
• Always read, understand and follow all safety precautions
and instructions, including those that are contained within
the procedures of this manual.
2.3 Additional Hydraulic Safety Precautions
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in death or serious personal
injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Do not remove or disable the pump relief valve. Never set
the relief valve to a higher pressure than the maximum rated
pressure of the pump.
• The puller hydraulic cylinder is designed for a maximum
pressure of 10,150 psi [700 bar]. Do not connect a pump
with a higher pressure rating to the cylinder.
• To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, make sure
all hydraulic components are rated for at least 10,150 psi
[700 bar] working pressure.
• The system operating pressure must not exceed the
pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the system.
Install pressure gauge(s) in the system to monitor operating
pressure. It is your window to see what is happening in the
system.
• Make sure that all system components are protected from
external sources of damage, such as excessive heat,
flame, moving machine parts, sharp edges and corrosive
chemicals.
• Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin. If oil is injected under the
skin, seek medical attention immediately.
• Always visually inspect the puller and puller hydraulic
system before placing it into operation. If any problems are
found, do not use the puller. Have the equipment repaired
and tested before it is returned to service.
• Never use a hydraulic cylinder that is leaking oil. Do not use
a cylinder that is damaged, altered or in need of repair.
• Do not loosen plugs, relief valves or any other hydraulic
components unless hydraulic pressure is completely
relieved.
• 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.
• Always read, understand and follow all safety precautions
and instructions, including those that are contained within
the procedures of this manual.
CAUTION
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in minor or moderate personal
injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers. Use the carrying handle or strap.
• 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 150˚F [65˚C] or higher. Protect all hydraulic
equipment from weld spatter.
• Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine
Enerpac parts. Enerpac parts are designed to fit properly
and to withstand high loads. Non-Enerpac parts may break
or cause the product to malfunction.
• Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a qualified
hydraulic technician. For repair service, contact the Enerpac
Authorized Service Center in your area.
• To help ensure proper operation and best performance, use
of Enerpac oil is strongly recommended.
