When selecting a hydraulic pump, consider factors such as required pressure and flow rate, power source availability (electric, pneumatic, gasoline, or manual), duty cycle, operating environment (including temperature and potential hazards), and compatibility with existing hydraulic systems. It's also important to consider maintenance requirements and the availability of replacement parts.

Maintenance schedules vary depending on the model, frequency of use, and operating conditions. As a general guideline, we recommend a thorough inspection and service every 500-1,000 hours of operation. This includes checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses and connections for leaks, and replacing filters. For heavy-duty applications or harsh environments, more frequent maintenance may be required. Always refer to the specific maintenance schedule outlined in your pump's operation manual.

Enerpac pumps are designed to work with a variety of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, water-glycol fluids, and synthetic fluids. However, it's important to consult your pump's operation manual or contact Enerpac technical support to ensure compatibility with your specific fluid. Using an incompatible fluid can damage the pump and void the warranty. Additionally, fluid viscosity is critical for proper pump operation, so always use the recommended viscosity for your operating temperature range.

Always follow the safety guidelines outlined in your pump's operation manual. Key safety precautions include: wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves; ensuring all connections are secure before pressurizing the system; never exceeding the maximum rated pressure of the pump or any component in the system; relieving pressure before making adjustments or repairs; and keeping hands and other objects clear of moving parts. Additionally, ensure the pump is properly grounded if electrically powered and used in a well-ventilated area if using a gasoline-powered pump.

Yes, Enerpac products come with a standard warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The length of the warranty varies by product type and model. For most hydraulic pumps, the warranty period is typically 1-2 years from the date of purchase. Extended warranty options may also be available. It's important to register your product and follow all maintenance guidelines to ensure warranty coverage. For specific warranty details, refer to the documentation provided with your pump or contact Enerpac customer service.
