• Avoid situations where loads are not directly centered on the
cylinder plunger. O-center loads produce considerable strain
on cylinders and plungers. In addition, the load may slip or fall,
causing potential danger.
• 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.
• 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
• Wear personal protective gear when operating hydraulic
equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• 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 attache a base or other
support.
CAUTION
Failure to observe and comply with the following precautions
could result in minor or moderate personal injury. Property
damage could also occur.
• 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.
• Distribute the load evenly across the entire saddle surface.
Always use a saddle to protect the plunger.
• 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 pump to malfunction.
NOTICE
• Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a qualified
hydraulic technician. For repair service, contact the Enerpac
Authorized Service Center in your area.
2.3 Battery Operated Pump 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 operate the pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The pump
creates sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not expose the pump to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the pump will increase the risk of electric shock and
may damage the motor and other components.
• Do not exceed 25 percent duty cycle. Allow sucient time for
the pump to cool between operations.
• To avoid accidental starting, ensure that the trigger safety lock
is in the locked position before carrying or moving the pump.
Do not carry the pump with your hand or fingers on the trigger.
• Do not use the pump if the trigger switch does not turn it on
and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired before being used.
• Remove the battery pack from the pump before making any
adjustments, performing maintenance or storing the pump.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the pump accidentally.
• Ensure the trigger lock is in the locked position before inserting
battery pack.
• Recharge battery pack only with the charger specified by the
battery manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
• Use the Enerpac XC Series pump only with MILWAUKEE
M28™Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
• A separate manual (published by Milwaukee Electric Tool
Corp.) is provided with the battery pack and battery charger.
Read and understand all information contained in this
manual. Observe and comply with all communicated safety
precautions. If the manual is lost, obtain a replacement copy
before using the battery pack or charger.
• The battery pack and battery charger have no serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair these items.
