CAUTION:
hydraulic hose. Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when routing hydraulic
hoses. Using a bent or kinked hose
hosbnd.eps
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
drag.eps
may cause it to rupture.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic
equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers. Use the carrying handle or
other means of safe transport.
CAUTION: KEEP HYDRAULIC
EQUIPMENT
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 hoses and
cylinders from weld spatter.
DANGER:
PRESSURIZED HOSES. Escaping
oil under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury. If oil is injected
inject.eps
under the skin, see a doctor immediately.
WARNING:
cylinders in a coupled system. Never
use a cylinder with unconnected
couplers. If the cylinder becomes extremely
bdyhit.eps
overloaded,
components
catastrophically causing severe personal
injury.
WARNING: 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.
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, causing
danger.eps
potentially dangerous results.
Distribute the load evenly across the
entire saddle surface. Always use a
saddle to protect the plunger.

IMPORTANT: Hydraulic equipment
must only be serviced by a qualified
hydraulic technician. For repair
service, contact the Authorized ENERPAC
Service Center in your area. To protect your
warranty, use only ENERPAC oil.
WARNING:
worn or damaged parts by genuine
ENERPAC parts. Standard grade
parts will break causing personal injury and
sman.eps
property damage. ENERPAC parts are designed
to fit properly and withstand high loads.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
Your Enerpac gauge is designed primarily to
function as a visual measuring device for ob-
serving the hydraulic operating condition of
your system. The use of a hydraulic gauge is
recommended with every hydraulic system
to insure that the operating ratings of the hy-
fail
draulic components within the system are not
exceeded.
In high-production applications, once the hy-
draulic system pressure settings have been
adjusted for production runs, your hydraulic
gauge should be disconnected from the hy-
draulic system. This can be done by complete
removal from the system or by installation of
