1.0 IMPORTANT RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. Shipping
damage is not covered by warranty. If shipping damage is found,
notify carrier at once. The carrier is responsible for all repair and
replacement costs resulting from damage in shipment.
SAFETY FIRST
2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
Read all instructions, warnings and cautions
carefully. Follow all safety precautions to avoid
personal injury or property damage during system
operation. Enerpac cannot be responsible for
damage or injury resulting from unsafe product use, lack of
maintenance or incorrect product and/or system operation.
Contact Enerpac when in doubt as to the safety precautions and
operations. If you have never been trained on high-pressure
hydraulic safety, consult your distribution or service center for a
free Enerpac Hydraulic safety course.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could
cause equipment damage and personal injury.
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance
procedures and practices to prevent damage to, or destruction of
equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct
procedures or practices to avoid personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may
cause serious injury or even death.
WARNING: Wear proper personal protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment.
WARNING: Stay clear of loads supported by hydraulics.
A cylinder, when used as a load lifting device, should
never be used as a load holding device. After the load
has been raised or lowered, it must always be blocked
mechanically.
WARNING: USE ONLY RIGID PIECES TO HOLD
LOADS. Carefully select steel or wood blocks that
are capable of supporting the load. Never use a
hydraulic cylinder as a shim or spacer in any lifting or
pressing application.

VLP
10-ton Capacity
Enerpac VLP can be set up quickly to perform maintenance and
forming operations. Each press is delivered with cylinder, hose,
pump, gauge, and couplers. Optional V-blocks (A136) are available for
easy positioning of round stock and other non-uniform materials.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands and
feet away from cylinder and workpiece during
operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed equipment ratings. Never
attempt to lift a load weighing more than the capacity
of the cylinder. Overloading causes equipment failure
and possible personal injury. The cylinders are designed for a
max. pressure of 700 bar [10,000 psi]. Do not connect a jack or
cylinder to a pump with a higher pressure rating.
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than the
maximum rated pressure of the pump. Higher settings
may result in equipment damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING: The system operating pressure must not
exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated
component in the system. Install pressure gauges in the
system to monitor operating pressure. It is your window to what
is happening in the system.
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.
WARNING: 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.
