• Lift only dead weight loads. Avoid lifting live weight
loads.
• Be especially careful when lifting loads such as
partially filled storage tanks, in which the center of
gravity could move or shift during lifting. Be aware
that the distribution of some loads can change
quickly and without warning.
• Keep all personnel clear of the work area while
lifting or lowering is in progress. To avoid personal
injury, keep hands and feet away from cylinder and
load during operation.
• Maintain communication with the operator at all
times during lifting or lowering to avoid accidents.
Use hand signals, two-way radios or other
appropriate forms of communication (as required
by applicable laws and regulations) if the load is
not visible to the operator.
• Operate SHS as required to ensure that the load is
moved evenly and at a controlled rate.
• Closely watch the load at all times during the moving
process. Stop immediately if the load becomes
unstable or appears to be moving unevenly.
• Always be certain that hydraulic pressure is fully
relieved and that the load is fully removed from
the SHS before disconnecting hydraulic hoses,
loosening hydraulic fittings, or performing any
cylinder disassembly or repair procedures.
• Any components that are blocked or stuck in
any way (and any parts connected to these
components) will be under mechanical tension.
If you release these parts, they could change
position suddenly and serious injury could result.
• Brake valves of pressurized functions (cylinders,
motors and accumulators) must never be removed
before depressurizing the respective function.
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in minor or moderate
personal injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Be careful to avoid damaging hydraulic hoses.
Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic
hoses. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius
specified by the hose manufacturer. 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.
• Ensure components are protected from external
sources of damage, such as moving machine parts,
sharp edges, weld spatter, corrosive chemicals
and excessive heat or flame.
• Do not drop heavy objects on hoses. A sharp
impact may cause internal damage to hose wire
strands. Applying pressure to a damaged hose
may cause it to rupture.
• 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 hydraulic
equipment to temperatures of 150˚F [65˚C] or
higher.
CAUTION
• 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.
• To prevent damage to pump electric motor, check
specifications. Use of incorrect power source will
damage the motor.
• Any modifications to the SHS could cause a
dangerous situation and void the warranty.
• Keep the hydraulic and moving components of the
SHS clean to prevent the SHS from jamming or
causing damage to itself or other equipment.
• Switch the power off before inspection,
maintenance or repair of the SHS. Make sure that
relevant parts are no longer receiving power. If
possible, make a ground connection. Insulate any
adjacent components that are still receiving power.
• If work does need to be performed on components
receiving power, then a second person must be
present in the area to switch off the main power
switch in the event of an emergency. Cordon off
the work zone and only use certified and properly
insulated tools.
• Lubricate tools as directed in this manual prior to
operation. Use only approved lubricants of high
quality, following the lubricant manufacturers
instructions
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in property damage and/or
void the product warranty.
• Always use Enerpac pumps and hoses.
• Always use Enerpac replacement parts.
• Check and inspect the electrical system of the
SHS at regular intervals. Problems, such as loose
connections and damaged or stuck wiring, must
be resolved immediately. Only use original fuses
and circuit breakers with the correct current value.
• Always follow the inspection and maintenance
instructions contained in this manual. Perform
maintenance and inspection activities at the
specified time intervals.
