SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY

• Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and hazards peculiar to 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 loose jewelry and contain long hair.
• Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the press.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip footwear.
• 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 the 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 V blocks 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 adjust or tamper with the safety valve.
• DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press.
• DO NOT apply off-center loads.
• DO NOT allow the workpiece or the press plates to fall from the work table.
• DO NOT get the press wet or use it 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 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 the 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.
• DO NOT t op 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.

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 moving the main frame from packing as the unit is very heavy. Refer to the attached parts list. Seek assistance from another person with an assembly of heavy parts. Assemble the press, if possible, in close proximity to where the press will be located.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
Attach load slings around the top cross member of the frame (#17) and using a suitable hoist or gantry, slowly, and in a controlled manner lift the frame up and out of the transportation crate, into an upright position.

INSTALLATION

• 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.

SECURE PRESS TO THE FLOOR

• DO NOT attempt to move assembled press manually. When moving the press follow the instructions as detailed in Section 1.
• Move the press to the mounting location, and spot mark through fi xing holes in base section (#10) onto the floor.
• Check for any hidden wiring or cables, if needed change the location of the holes.
• Temporarily move the press to the side.
• Use a masonry drill bit to drill the four holes about 3” to 4” (75 to 100mm) deep into the concrete or wood, as necessary. Clean out the drilled holes.
• Position the press and align the holes in the base section with the holes in the floor.
• Use four concrete anchor bolts or lag bolts for wooden floors, (not included), to secure to the floor.
• WARNING! To prevent serious injury DO NOT use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs have the problem corrected.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• 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 section 1 Safety Instructions.

OPERATION

• Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed and ready for operation.
• Position the bed frame at the required operating height by inserting the bed frame pins into the appropriate holes in the frame.
• Position the V-block plates or press tools to be used onto the bed frame and align beneath the ram. Place the workpiece onto the bed frame or V-blocks and align beneath the ram as required.
• NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure a V-block does not fall from the press bed frame. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps (not supplied).
• WARNING! DO NOT apply off-center loads.
• Use either of the handles to lower the ram to the workpiece.
• WARNING! Monitor the pressure gauge during operation to ensure that the rated capacity of the press is not exceeded.
• When the operation is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise to release the pressure. 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 be carried out by a qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.

• Check all fittings are tight before each use.
• Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
• Always keep the press clean, dry, and protect from harsh conditions.
• Should you need to replace the oil ensure the piston is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
• 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.
