OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
CHECK YOUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS REGARDING THE SAFE USE OF THIS PRESS.
1. Prior to use, the press feet (#21) shall be firmly anchored to a concrete floor to prevent movement and tipping of the press while it is being used.
2. Evaluate the work to be accomplished in order to make full use of the ram assembly (#3) stroke. Consideration to press accessories used in conjunction
with the component to be worked on should determine the work height of the work bed (#18).
3. Make sure the work bed (#18) is free of any accessories, work pieces and tools before raising or lowering the work bed. The work bed is light enough to be
raised and lowered by hand. Once the work bed (#18) is at its desired work height, install the pins (#19) in the post (#20) holes closest to the underside of
the work bed. Make sure the pins (#19) are fully engaged in the parallel flanges of the press's posts (#20).
4. Make sure the ram assembly is completely retracted at this time by turning the knob on the side of the pump (#32) in a counterclockwise direction.
Assemble the work setup on the work bed (#18) so that it is secure, stable and the ram assembly is properly aligned with the part to be pressed so it
makes for a straight vertical operation.
5. Install proper guarding that provides adequate protection against any flying parts and use a bearing shield if it applies to the application.
6. Make sure that goggles and all protective clothing are worn at this time and clear the press work area of bystanders before using.
7. Turn the knob on the side of the pump (#32) in a clockwise direction until it stops and slowly activate the pump handle until the ram (#3) meets the load.
Continue to slowly pump the handle to make sure the setup is still stable and the ram (#3) is pushing straight and vertical. Discontinue pumping if the
setup or vertical ram travel looks compromised. Release the ram by turning the knob on the side of the pump (#32) counterclockwise and make any
required setup changes before pumping again. Make sure to read the gauge (#1) intermittently so the force does not exceed the lowest rated capacity
press accessory, plunger or adapter being used.
8. After the work has been completed, retract the ram all the way, remove everything off the top of the work bed (#18) and raise the work bed off the top of
the pins (#19). The pins (#19) can be removed and work bed (#18) moved to another height. Always support the work bed (#18) with pins (#19). Never leave
the press unattended without the pins (#19) supporting the work bed (#18).
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Failure to follow these Preventative Maintenance instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Any press found to be inoperable or not operating according to its original design as a result of worn parts due to lack of lubrication or adjustment,
air/hydraulic system (if applicable) contaminated with water, rust and/or foreign materials from the air supply or other outside source is not eligible
for warranty consideration.
2. The press must be anchored to a concrete floor and placed in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements.
3. Check for hydraulic leaks and tighten, repair or replace components before using.
4. Use a general purpose grease to lubricate the pump linkage on the pump (#32).
5. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the pump's hydraulic fluid reservoir unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires immediate
repair by a qualified hydraulic repair mechanic who is familiar with the press.
In order to prevent seal damage and press failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the press's
WARNING
hydraulic system. Use hydraulic jack oil.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this press. Repair by an authorized
service center is recommended.
