4.0 INITIAL SETUP
4.1 Adding Oil

Before startup, remove the oil fill plug (see figures 1 and 2, item

#11) and check oil level. Oil level should be about 1 inch [25 mm]

below top of reservoir. Add Enerpac HF hydraulic oil to reservoir

if necessary. Refer to Section 6.1 for additional information.

4.2 Electrical Requirements

Be sure outlet is correct for your jack model. Refer to jack data

plate for voltage and phase requirements.
The electrical disconnect and line circuit protection is to be

provided by the customer. Line circuit protection is to be 115

percent of motor full load current rating.
On single-phase models, a power cord and plug of the proper

type for the line voltage specified at time of order is included.

WARNING: Altering the plug type should only be done

by a qualified electrician, adhering to all applicable

local and national codes.

On three phase models, the power cord is provided without

a plug. A qualified electrician must install and wire the proper

type of plug that is compatible with the jack's specified power

requirements. Plug installation and wiring must be in compliance

with all applicable codes and ordinances.

4.3 Using the Jack for The First Time

Note: See figures 1 and 2 for items in parenthesis (. . .).
1. Be sure that lever on control valve (item #5) is in the center

(neutral/hold) position.

2. Connect the jack power cord to an electrical outlet.
3. On three phase models only, press and release the pendant

button while observing motor fan rotation. Check that fan rotates

in same direction as arrow (item #23) on top of motor housing.

Note: Perform the following steps with no load on the cylinder.

Refer to Section 5.0 for detailed jack operation instructions.
4. Check for proper operation by fully extending and retracting

the cylinder (item #13). Use the lever on the control valve

(item #5) and the button on the pendant (item #6) to control

cylinder movement. To remove air from system, cycle the

cylinder as needed until operation is smooth.

4.4 Using the Handle Assembly to Position the Jack

Note: See figures 1 and 2 for items in parenthesis (. . .).
1. Push handle lock lever (item #1) to release lock pin.
2. With lock pin released, position handle assembly (item #2)

to desired location and release handle lock lever (item #1) to

engage lock pin.

3. The jack can now be tilted back onto the wheels and pushed

or pulled to the work area. Use caution when walking

backwards.

4. If needed, the jack can be lifted using the lifting bar (item #3 - if

equipped) or the lifting eyebolt(s) (item #17 - if equipped).

Note: Lifting bars are installed on short stroke PREM_060,

PREM_100 and PREM_150 Series models. Lifting bars are

not used on any long stroke models or on short stroke model

PREM_20016L.

All long stroke models are equipped with one lifting eyebolt.

The short stroke model PREM_20016L is equipped with two

lifting eyebolts. Lifting eyebolts are not present on short stroke

PREM_060, PREM_100 and PREM_150 Series models.

WARNING: Lift the jack using only lifting eyebolt(s) or

lifting bar. Never attempt to lift the jack by using the

handle assembly. The handle assembly is to be used

only for rolling the jack on its wheels and for positioning the jack

under the jacking point.
5. Using the handle assembly, adjust the jack position so that

the cylinder load cap is centered under the jacking point of

the load.

WARNING: Be sure that the jack is positioned on a

solid and level support surface, with the lifting cylinder

perpendicular to the ground. Jacking at an angle can

allow the jack to slip out of position, resulting in loss of load. As

required, use a swivel load cap to properly engage angled lifting

points. Refer to Section 5.7 for additional information.

5.0 OPERATION
5.1 Control Valve (See Figure 3)

Hydraulic flow to the lifting cylinder is controlled by a manual

4-way, 3-position valve.
• Move lever to the extend

position to raise the load.

• Move lever to the retract

position to lower the load.

• Move lever to the center neutral/

hold position immediately after

raising or lowering is completed.

Note: The neutral/hold position

is also referred to as the idle

position.

5.2 Pendant (See Figure 4)

PENDANT BUTTON

Figure 4, Pendant

The pump motor is controlled by

a single pendant mounted push

button.
Button pressed:

Motor starts. System pressure builds

and cylinder moves for as long as

button is held down or until cylinder

reaches end of stroke.
Button released:

Motor stops. Cylinder stop moving

and check valve holds load.

Note: if cylinder does not begin

moving when motor is started,

check that control valve lever is in

either the retract or extend position.

5.3 Circuit Breaker

A resettable circuit breaker is used on all jack models equipped

with a single-phase electrical system. This includes jack model

numbers beginning with PREMB, PREME and PREMI. The

circuit breaker reset button is mounted on the lower surface of

the jack electrical enclosure. See Figure 1, item 10 for location.
In the event of excessive current draw, the circuit breaker will

trip. After determining and correcting the source of the overload,

push the circuit breaker button to reset.

Note: Jacks equipped with a three-phase electrical system

have no circuit breaker button. These units use a resettable

motor overload relay that is mounted inside the jack electrical

enclosure. Refer to Section 6.5 for additional information.
