Safety and General Maintenance

CAUTION: PROPERLY INSULATE AND PROTECT THE HOSE ASSEMBLY WHEN ROUTING NEAR HOT OBJECTS
(e.g. manifolds). Hose assemblies and seals can be heated to destruction without contact by such nearby items as
hot manifolds or molten metal. The same heat source may then initiate a fire. This can occur despite the presence of
cool air around the tool assembly.

CAUTION: PROTECT TOOL ASSEMBLIES FROM WELD SPATTER. When using a torch or arc welder in close proximity
to tool assemblies, the tool assemblies should be removed or shielded with appropriate fire resistant materials. Flame
or weld spatter could burn through the hose and possibly ignite escaping fluid resulting in a catastrophic failure.
Heating of plated parts, including hose fittings and adapters, above 450°F (232°C) such as during welding, brazing, or
soldering may emit deadly gases.

Do not use any Hose in applications where failure of the hose could result in the conveyed fluids (or vapors or mist
from the conveyed fluids) contacting any open flame, molten metal, or other potential fire ignition source that could
cause burning or explosion of the conveyed fluids or vapors.

Hydraulic Fluid

Tool assemblies are supplied pre-filled with hydraulic oil; attached pumps must be used with compatible hydraulic oil.
Use only genuine Enerpac hydraulic oil. The use of any other fluid will render your warranty null and void. The Safety
Data Sheet of the hydraulic fluid used to pre-fill the tool assemblies is available upon request.

Premium hydraulic oil

•   Ensures effective lubricity
•  Protects essential parts
•  Prevents pump cavitation
•  Maximum internal heat transfer
•  Additives prevent rust, oxidation and sludge.

HF-series, Hydraulic oil

Genuine Enerpac hydraulic oil to guarantee optimal performance and long life of your hydraulic equipment.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum pressure.

Mechanical Loads / Hose Routing

CAUTION: 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. Attention must be given to optimum routing of the hose assembly to minimise inherent problems
(kinking or flow restriction due to hose collapse, twisting of the hose, proximity to hot objects or heat sources).

CAUTION: External forces can significantly reduce tool and hose life or cause failure. Mechanical loads which must
be considered include excessive flexing, twisting, kinking, tensile or side loads, bend radius, and vibration. 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift tool assemblies by the hoses or couplers. Use the hand grip or other means of safe transport.

Physical Damage

WARNING: Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine Parker parts. Phastite

assembly equipment is

manufactured from extreme service materials. Standard grade parts will break causing personal injury and/or property
damage. Parker Phastite

parts are designed to fit properly and withstand high pressure loads.

IMPORTANT: Phastite

assembly equipment must be serviced by a qualified Parker technician. For repair and/or

service, contact the Authorised Parker Service Centre in your area, or by calling 1-800-CPARKER. Care must be taken
to protect the tool assembly from wear, snagging, kinking, bending smaller than the minimum bend radius, and cutting,
any of which can cause premature hose failure.

WARNING

Indicates a potential danger that requires correct
procedures or practices to avoid possible serious
personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Is used to indicate correct operating or
maintenance procedures and practices to prevent
minor or moderate injury or damage to /destruction
of equipment or other property.

Immediately replace worn or damaged parts with genuine
Parker parts. Non genuine Parker parts may break,
causing personal injury and property damage. Parker
parts are designed to fit properly and withstand high
loads.

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.

Only use hydraulic equipment in a coupled system. Never
use a cylinder with unconnected couplers. If the cylinder
becomes extremely overloaded, components can fail
catastrophically, causing severe personal injury.

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.

The system operating pressure must not exceed the
pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the
system. Always use the pressure gauge in the system to
monitor operating pressure. It is your window to see what
is happening in the system.

Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers.

Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes
equipment failure and possible personal injury. The
system is designed for a maximum pressure of 10,000 psi
(700 bar). Do not connect a pump with a higher pressure
rating.

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 65 °C [150 °F] or higher.
Protect all hydraulic equipment from weld spatter.

Wear proper personal protective gear when operating
hydraulic equipment.

Phastite

assembly tooling equipment must only be

serviced by a Parker technician. For repair service,
contact the Authorised Parker Service Centre in your
area. To protect your warranty, use only ENERPAC oil.

Entrapment risk, Keep all hands and any loose hair or
clothing away from the tools when in operation.

Where supplied read and understand the safety and
operation instructions provided separately with the
ENERPAC pump and MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL
battery and charger.
