1.1.2 Lifting Safety Precautions
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in death or serious personal
injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Do not allow persons to be under a hydraulically
supported load. Always support the load with
stands, blocking or other suitable supports before
allowing persons to enter the work area below the
load.
• Stay clear of cylinders and tools while they are being
pressurized or in operation. To avoid personal injury,
keep hands and feet away from pinch point areas.
• Never use a cylinder or tool with uncoupled couplers.
If the cylinder or tool becomes extremely overloaded,
components can fail catastrophically.
• 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 or tool as a shim or
spacer in any application.
• Distribute the load evenly across the entire saddle
surface. Always use a saddle to protect the plunger.
• 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.
• Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never attempt to
lift a load weighing more than the capacity of the
cylinder. Overloading may cause equipment failure
and possible personal injury.
• 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.
1.2 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 use a battery operated pump in an explosive
atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Sparks and electrical arcing
could ignite combustible vapors or airborne dust.
• Do not expose the pump to rain, water spray or wet
conditions. Water entering the pump will increase
the risk of electric shock and may damage the motor
and other components. The pump can be used
outdoors, but should be brought inside in the event
of rain or other moisture.
• To avoid accidental pump startup, ensure that the
pump power switch is in the OFF (O) position before
moving or transporting the pump. Never carry the
pump with your hand or fingers on the trigger switch.
• Ensure that the pump power switch is in the OFF (O)
position before performing inspections, maintenance
procedures, repairs or cleaning the pump. As an
alternative, remove the battery from the pump.
• Battery power will remain connected to some
electrical components inside the pump even when
the pump power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
For this reason, always remove the battery from
the pump before opening the pump housing for
any reason. All servicing must be performed only
by qualified personnel with appropriate training
and expertise, following standard shop safety
precautions.
• Use insulated tools and wear electrician’s gloves if
it is necessary to troubleshoot the pump or observe
operation with the pump housing removed (qualified
personnel only).
• Do not use the pump if the trigger switch or pendant
controls (if equipped) do not turn the motor on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the trigger switch or pendant controls is dangerous
and must be repaired before being used.
• Use the Enerpac XC2 Series pump only with the
specified Enerpac 54 volt Li-Ion battery. Use of any
other battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery 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.
• The battery cells may develop a small leak under
extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with battery liquid. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns. Refer to
Section 1.3 for battery first aid instructions.
• If battery case is broken or damaged and/or if
leakage occurs, do not reinstall the battery on the
pump. Replace with a new battery.
• Recharge the battery only with the specified Enerpac
battery charger. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
• Separate manuals are provided with the battery
and battery charger and are also available online
at www.enerpac.com. Read and understand all
information contained in these manuals. Observe and
comply with all communicated safety precautions
when using the battery or charger.
• Remove the battery from the pump before storing
the pump.
• The battery and battery charger have no serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair these
items.
