5.0 OPERATION
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that the
operator has a full understanding of all
instructions, safety regulations, cautions
and warnings, before starting to operate
any of this high force tool equipment. When in doubt,
contact Enerpac.
5.1 Advancing and retracting the cylinder
All BHP Puller Sets are equipped with a single-
acting, spring return cylinder and a handpump. For
complete operating instructions refer to the instruc-
tion sheet included with each pump and cylinder.
Handpumps to operate single-acting cylinders are
equipped with a release valve to release pressure.
Close the release valve, raise and lower the pump
handle to advance the cylinder. To retract the
cylinder, open the release valve.
5.2 Air removal
Advance and retract the cylinder several times
avoiding pressure build-up. Air removal is complete
when the cylinder motion is smooth.
5.3 Using grip pullers
Build up your application as shown in Illustration 3
below and Illustration 7 on page 8. Remember that
the triple grip puller provides a more stable and
secure grip, with a more even pulling force than
the double grip puller. Do not exceed 50% of the
rated puller capacity with a double grip puller. Start
pumping and apply hydraulic pressure gradually to
remove the part.
