Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble-free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

SAFETY

Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and hazards of the press.
Maintain the press in good condition (use an authorized service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep the press clean for the best and safest performance.
Locate the press in an adequate working area for its function, keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure there is adequate lighting.
Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the press.
Ensure that all fittings are tight before each use.
Remove ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewelry and contain long hair.
Keep hands and body clear of the table when operating the press.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the working area.
Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface capable of supporting the weight of press and any workpiece taking into account clearance for workpieces.
When not in use, release pressure from the hydraulic unit and clean the press. Stand or store the arbor plates in a safe location.
DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
DO NOT use the press for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT make any modifications to the press.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press.
DO NOT apply off-center loads.
DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the table.
DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT operate the press when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT climb upon the press.
DO NOT use the press to compress a spring or any other item that could disengage and cause a potential hazard including personal injury.
DO NOT stand directly in front of a loaded press and never leave a loaded press unattended.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the press.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press. A full range of personal safety equipment is available from your Sealey stockist.
WARNING:
DO NOT top up the hydraulic unit with brake fluid, or any other fluid other than a good quality hydraulic oil (Sealey Part Number: HJO500MLS/HJO5LS) as this may cause serious damage to the hydraulic unit and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Always position the press against a wall. If the press is situated in the open workshop, it is essential that a guard be placed at the rear of the unit. This will prevent injury to bystanders in the event of the workpiece ejecting suddenly.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but must be applied by the operator.
▲ DANGER! The press is top-heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam, or lift directly with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.

INTRODUCTION

High-quality industrial press, supplied with pressure gauge, ideal for pressing, bending, and extruding. Suitable for many automotive and industrial applications.
▲ DANGER! Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly “give way” causing danger to the operator or the component.

SPECIFICATION

ASSEMBLY

Unpack the product and check the contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately? Take care to ensure safety when removing the main frame from packing as the unit is very heavy.

Refer to the attached Parts List

4.1. Identify and layout parts.
4.2. Bolt the cross legs to the bottom of the pre-assembled main frame.
4.3. Bolt the ram supporting plates to the head of the main frame. (Tighten nuts finger tight at this stage.)
4.4. Remove the straight adaptor and pass the ram through the upper support plate.
4.5. Screw the straight adaptor onto the ram on the lower side of the ram support plates and tighten.
4.6. Tighten the support plate securing bolts.
4.7. Attach the pump. Bolt pump through the frame. There is a choice of left or right attachment, assemble the plate according to your operational requirement. Screw in the pump handle.
4.8. PRESSURE GAUGE
4.8.1. Remove the dust cap hex bolt from the top of the ram and screw the pressure gauge in until tight.
8 DO NOT over-tighten.
4.8.2. Remove the plastic safety bung from the end of the pump hose and connect the hose to the ram inlet valve.
4.9. Insert the table support pins through the holes in the main frame. Taking firm hold of the table, tip it into a diagonal position so that it can be introduced between the mainframe uprights and carefully lower it back to a horizontal position to rest on the support pins.
WARNING! Take care not to allow the working table to drop onto the pins and ensure your hands and fingers are clear of the working table when lowering.

INSTALLATION

5.1. Securely mount bench press on a workbench or surface, ensure the bench is flat and level and is strong enough to support the press and any workpiece during operation.
5.2. Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during transit. Open the release valve and pump the handle several times and close the release valve. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this process may resolve the problem.
▲ DANGER! Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly “give way” causing danger to the operator or the component. Also, ensure you have read and understood chapter 1 safety instructions.
5.3. The transit valve on the bottom of the pump (opposite end to the handle) needs to be opened during operation.

OPERATION

 6.1. Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed and ready for operation.
6.2. Position the working table at the required operating height by inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the main frame.
6.3. Position the arbor plate or press tools to be used onto the work table and align beneath the ram. Place the workpiece onto the work table or arbors and align beneath the ram as required. Note: Care must be taken to ensure an arbor does not fall from the press work table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps.
6.4. Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to or just touching the workpiece. Before applying real pressure to the workpiece recheck the alignment with the ram and ensure that the workpiece and press tools are supported in such a way that they cannot flex to breaking point. DO NOT exceed the stroke indicated on the label or the red mark on the piston and DO NOT apply off-center loads.
6.5. When work is complete release the pressure using the knob with four lugs and the piston and the ram head will retract automatically.
Note: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion.

MAINTENANCE

Note: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1. Check all fittings are tight before each use.
7.2. Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.3. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
7.4. Should you need to replace the oil ensure the piston is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative. Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil. DO NOT use brake fluid. Contact your local Sealey stockist for details. Purge the system to remove any air.
7.5. Check your model parts information for spares. Repair kits are also available.
