• 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.
• Wear personal protective equipment (P.P.E.) 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.
• 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.
Failure to observe and comply with the following
precautions could result in minor or moderate personal
injury. Property damage could also occur.
• Do not use or repair damaged hydraulic hoses.
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 hydraulic hoses. A
sharp impact may cause internal damage to hose
wire strands. Applying pressure to a damaged hose
may cause it to rupture.
• 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.
• Protect all hydraulic equipment from weld spatter.
Hydraulic equipment must only be serviced by a
qualified hydraulic technician. For repair service, contact
the Enerpac Authorized Service Center in your area.
1.1.2 Lifting Pump Safety Precautions
(All ZE2-Series Pumps)
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.
CAUTION
WARNING
1.0 SAFETY
Read all instructions carefully. Follow all recommended
safety precautions to avoid personal injury as well as
damage to the product and / or damage to other property.
Enerpac cannot be responsible for any damage or injury
from unsafe use, lack of maintenance, or incorrect
operation. Do not remove warning labels, tags, or decals.
In the event that any questions or concerns arise, contact
Enerpac or a local Enerpac distributor for clarification.
Save these instructions for future use.
Appropriate training in the safe use of high pressure, high
force hydraulic tools is required prior to the operation of
the pump. If training is needed, contact your local Enerpac
distributor or authorized service center for information
about an Enerpac hydraulic safety training course.
This manual follows a system of safety alert symbols,
signals, words, and safety messages to warn the user of
specific hazards. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in death or serious personal injury, as well as
damage to the equipment or other property.
The Safety Alert Symbol appears throughout
this manual. It is used to alert you to potential
physical injury hazards. Pay close attention
to Safety Alert Symbols and obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid the possibility
of death or serious injury.
Safety Alert Symbols are used in conjunction with certain
Signal Words that call attention to safety messages or
property damage messages and designate a degree or
level of hazard seriousness. The Signal Words used in this
manual are WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate personal injury.
Indicates information considered important, but
not hazard related (e.g. messages related to property
damage). Please note that the Safety Alert Symbol will
not be used with the signal word.
1.1 Hydraulic Safety Precautions
1.1.1 General Hydraulic Safety Precautions
(All ZE2 and ZW2-Series Pumps)
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 pressure relief valve.
• Never set the pressure relief valve to a higher
pressure than the maximum rated pressure of the
pump.
• Do not pressurize disconnected couplers.
• Do not handle pressurized hydraulic hoses. Escaping
oil under pressure can penetrate the skin. If oil is
injected under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
