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 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 fixing holes in base section (#10) onto the floor.
Check for any hidden wiring or cables, if needed change the location for 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 operator or the component. Also ensure you have read and understood section 1 Safety Instructions.

OPERATION

Connect the air supply to the foot pedal (#34).
Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready for operating.
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 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 centre loads.
Use either of the handles or the foot pedal 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.
Disconnect the air supply.

NOTE:
Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
Maintenance and repair must be carried out by 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.
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.
Check your model parts information for spares.
