• Wear personal protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hats, gloves, or hearing
protection (used as appropriate) will
reduce personal injuries. The protective
clothing must not interfere with safe
operation of the tool or restrict the ability
to communicate with co-workers.
• Operating procedures will vary,
depending on the system arrangement.
Always read, follow, and completely
understand all manufacturers’
instructions when operating pumps,
valves and all other devices used with the
NSPH tools. Follow all safety precautions
contained in the manufacturer’s manuals.
Use only for intended purpose.
• To minimize risk of personal injury, keep
hands and feet away from the tool and
workpiece during operation.
• Do not overload equipment.
• Never apply pressure to a damaged
hose, doing so may cause it to rupture.
• Immediately replace worn or damaged
parts. Use only genuine Enerpac parts
from approved distributors or service
centers. Enerpac parts have been
engineered and manufactured to be fit-
for-purpose.
• Do not handle pressurized hoses or
couplings; escaping oil under pressure
can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury.Seekmedicalattentionimmediately
if oil penetration is suspected.
• Only pressurize complete and fully
connected hydraulic systems. Do
not pressurize systems that contain
unconnected couplers.
• Hydraulic circuit must be at zero pressure
before couplings are disconnected.
• Never leave the system unattended when
under pressure. When the system is
under pressure DO NOT STAND IN LINE
with the direction of force of the NSPH
tools. This is a danger area. Always keep
this area clear of personnel when the
system is under pressure.
• Site pump on a secure, flat, level surface.
Rope off working area and place warning
signs.
• Do not tamper with air pressure relief
safety valve on pump.
• Do not remove gauge covers when fitted.
• Check the date of the calibration
certification. If the recalibration date has
passed, the gauge must be recalibrated.
• If air supply is interrupted, turn off air
stop valve on pump.
• The system operating pressure must not
exceed the pressure rating of the lowest
rated component in the system.
• Maximum allowable pressure for the
NSPH Tool-Series is 10,000 psi [700
bar]. Do not exceed this pressure setting.
• Use only a high-quality non-flammable
solvent for cleaning and degreasing
parts during wrench repair procedures.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do
not use flammable solvents.
• It is advised that a pressure gauge(s)
is installed in the system when using
the NSPH tools to monitor operating
pressure, to allow the operator to monitor
what is happening in the system.
• Care should be taken when using the
lanyard to avoid entanglement with body
parts.
