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 authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised
parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
Locate the press in an adequate working area for its function, keep area clean
and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure there is adequate
lighting.
Ensure the work-piece is correctly secured before operating the press.
Ensure that all fittings are tight before each use.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose
jewellery 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 unauthorised 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 work-piece taking into account clearance for work-
pieces.
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-centre loads.
DO NOT allow the work-piece 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 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
work piece 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 which
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 direct
with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a
pallet truck.

INSTALLATION
5.1. SECURE THE PRESS TO THE FLOOR
WARNING! Always use the assistance of another person when moving the
press.
5.1.1. Move the press to the mounting location and spot mark through fixing
holes in the base supports (#20) into the floor.
5.1.2. Check for any hidden wiring or cables, if needed change the location
for the holes.
5.1.3. Temporarily move the press to the side.
5.1.4. Use a masonry drill bit to drill the four holes to support the
Hydraulic Press and use fixings capable of holding any load bearing used on
the press.
5.1.5. Clean out the drilled holes.
5.1.6. Position the press and align the holes in the base supports with the
holes in the floor.
**WARNING!** To prevent serious injury DO NOT use damaged equipment. If
abnormal noise or vibration occurs have the problem corrected.
5.2. BEFORE FIRST USE
5.2.1. Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system, in order to
eliminate any air that may have accumulated 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! This model is purposefully designed to withstand greater loads than
the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always ensure the work-
piece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly
“give way” causing danger to
operator or the component. Also ensure you have read and understood chapter 1
safety instructions.
OPERATION
6.1. Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed ready for operating.
6.1.1. Position the table at the required operating height by inserting the
pins into the appropriate holes in the frame.
6.1.2. Position the arbor plates or press tools to be used onto the table and
align beneath the ram. Place work-piece onto the table or arbor plates and
align beneath the ram as required. Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the
arbor plates do not fall from the press table.
If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps (not supplied).
6.1.3. Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to or just touching the
work-piece. Before applying real pressure to the work-piece recheck the
alignment with the ram and ensure that the work-piece 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 centre loads.
6.1.4. When work is complete release the pressure by fitting the handle over
the release valve and turning anti-clockwise in small increments.
6.1.5. Once the hydraulic unit has been fully retracted, remove the work-piece
from the arbor plates and the table.
Note: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion.
MAINTENANCE
7.1. Note: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified
person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.2. When the press is not in use, the hydraulic unit ram must be fully
retracted to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate the press.
7.3. Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.4. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
7.5. Should you need to replace the oil, ensure the hydraulic unit ram is
fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Number:
HJO500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid.
Purge the system to remove any air.
7.6. Check your model parts information for spares.
