Jacks |
 | Provide a level and solid support for the entire jack base area. | |  | The entire jack saddle must be in contact with the load. Movement of the load to be in the same direction as jack plunger. |
| |
 | Never place any part of your body under the load. Ensure the load is on a solid support before venturing under. | |  | Remove the jack handle when it is not being used. |
| |
|
Cylinders |
 | Provide a solid support for the entire cylinder base area. Use cylinder base attachment for more stability. | |  | The entire cylinder saddle must be in contact with the load. Movement of the cylinder must be parallel with the movement of the load. |
| |
 | Do not use cylinder without saddle. This will cause plunger to ”mushroom”. Saddles distribute load evenly on the plunger. | |  | As with jacks, never place any part of your body under the load. Load must be on cribbing before venturing under. |
| |
 | Always protect cylinder threads for use with attachments. | |  | Keep hydraulic equipment away from open fire and temperatures above 65 °C (150°F). |

|
General |
 |
| |
 | Always read instructions and safety warnings that come with your Enerpac hydraulic equipment. | |  | Don’t override the factory setting of relief valves. Always use a gauge to check system pressure. |
| |
|
Pumps |
 | Don’t use handle extenders. Hand pumps should be easy to operate when used correctly. | |  | Close release valve finger tight. Using force will ruin the valve. |
| |
 | Fill pump only to recommended level. Fill only when connected cylinder is fully retracted. | |  | Use only genuine Enerpac hydraulic oil. Wrong fluid can destroy seals and pump and will render your warranty null and void your guarantee. |
| |
|
Hoses and Couplers |
 | Clean both coupler parts before connecting. Use dust caps when coupler parts are not connected. | |  | Detach cylinder only when fully retracted or use shut-off valves or safety valves to lock-in cylinder pressure. |
| |
 | Keep hoses away from the area beneath loads. | |  | Don’t kink hoses. Bending radius should be at least 115 millimetres. Don’t drive over or drop heavy objects on hoses. |
| |
 | Don’t lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses. | |  | Never allow the cylinder to be lifted off of the ground through the couplers. |
