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 must 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.

Trytocreatetheidealsetup.Sincefewthingsinlifeareideal,followingthe80%rulewillresultinmorestablesetupsandprolong
Provide a solid support for the entire cylinder base area. Use cylinder base attachment for more stability.
Do not use cylinder without saddle. This will cause plunger to “mushroom.” Saddles distribute load evenly on the plunger.
Always protect cylinder threads for use with attachments.
As with jacks, never place any part of the body under the load. Load must me on cribbing before venturing under.
Keep hydraulic equipment away from open fire and temperatures above 150 ⁰F (65 ⁰C).
The entire cylinder saddle must be in contact with the load. Movement of the cylinder must be parallel with the movement of the load.

Don’t use handle extenders. Hand pumps should be easy to operate when used correctly.

BRIEF SUMMARY
You should be familiar with all of the information presented in the Hydraulic Safety Seminar. However, the three practices shown below are essential to promoting personal safety and will help you to protect yourself and others.
You must be diligent when it comes to safety. We can provide high quality tools and accessories, but it is up to you to be aware of the situation that you put yourself and others into.
When you practice safety, you also benefit by being more efficient and by increasing the useful life of your tools.

QUESTIONS
1. Which hydraulic components are rated in terms of capacity or tonnage?
2. True or False? Side loading can damage a jack or cylinder by distorting the wiper seal and bending the plunger.
3. What should you do if you have to lift a load further than the rated stroke of the jack or cylinder?
4. True or False? It is OK to work under a load that is held up by a jack or cylinder as long as the load doesn’t exceed the capacity or tonnage rating.
5. True or False? You should never weld or otherwise modify a cylinder to attach a base or other support.
6. True or False? Adding an extension to a pump handle will give you more leverage when pumping.
7. True or False? You should tighten coupler connections with a wrench to be sure they are tight.
8. If cylinder movement is jerky, what may be wrong?
9. When you add extensions to a cylinder, how does it affect the maximum operating pressure?
10. True or False? The 80% rule applies to cylinder stroke and cylinder capacity.
THINK THINKSAFETY34
www.enerpac.com
ANSWERS
1. Jacks, cylinders, presses, spreaders, and other accessories have capacity or tonnage ratings. (See page 5) NOTE: Pumps are rated for maximum operating pressure in psi [bar].
2. True. Side loading can damage a jack or cylinder by distorting the wiper seal and bending the plunger. Side loading also creates an unstable setup which may shift or fall. (See page 6)
3. If you need to lift a load further than the rated stroke, block the load, raise the level of the cylinder with a sturdy support, and continue the lift. You could also switch to a jack or cylinder with a longer stroke. (See page 7)
4. False. Never work under a load that is held up by a jack or cylinder. The load must be securely blocked before anyone goes under it. (See pages 7-9)
5. True. You should never weld or otherwise modify a cylinder to attach a base or other support. (See pages 8-9)
6. False. Adding an extension to a pump handle will not give you more leverage, but it will make the pump unstable. (See page 9)
7. False. You should tighten coupler connections hand tight only, but do be sure that all threads are fully engaged. (See page 11)
8. If cylinder movement is jerky, air may be trapped in the hydraulic system. (See page 15)
9. When you add extensions to a cylinder, the maximum operating pressure must be cut in half, to 5,000 psi [350 bar]. Always use a gauge to verify the operating pressure. (See pages 16-17)
10. True. The 80% rule applies to cylinder stroke and cylinder capacity. Following the 80% rule will result in more stable setups and prolong the life of your equipment. (See pages 8-9)
