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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Place the upper cross beam (#20) at top of press frame and secure with bolt (#19), washer (#21), lock washer (#22), and nut (#23) loosely.
Stand the part assembled press the frame onto a flat level floor and level the frame using a good quality spirit level. Fully tighten all fixings.
WARNING! Take care and seek assistance from another person when lowering and leveling the frame assembly onto the floor.

ATTACH RAM SUPPORT PLATE

Slide rollers (#25) onto shafts at each end of connecting rods (#26) and secure with retaining rings (#24).
Position ram support plate (#16) to underside of upper cross beam (#20).
Place spring (#27) onto bolt (#28) and then through clearance holes in connecting rod (#26). Repeat on other connecting rod.
Position connecting rod and rollers onto internal sliding bars located on the upper cross beam (#20). Clamp the ram support plate (#16) and connect rods by screwing to full-depth bolts (#28) and spring (#27) and lock into position with screw (#17).
Check that the ram support plate will slide. If not, slacken clamping bolts (#28) slightly ensuring lock screws (#17) are re-tightened.
WARNING! Seek assistance from another person to complete this task.

ATTACH RAM ASSEMBLY

Insert the ram assembly (#15) through the hole in the ram support plate (#16) and secure with screws (#14).
WARNING! Seek assistance from another person with this task as the ram assembly is heavy.

ATTACH PUMP ASSEMBLY

Fit the pump assembly (#35) and secure with bolts (#36) and washers (#6) to upright (#11).
Remove the plastic bung from connector assembly (#33) and attached to the ram assembly inlet valve (#15).

ATTACH BED FRAME

Pass the table support pins (#4) through the holes on the press frame uprights (#11) at the desired height.
Fit the retaining clips (#3) to the table support pins.
- NOTE: The retaining clips should be spaced equidistant from the press frame sides to allow for ease of bed frame (#2) assembly.
Taking firm hold of the bed frame (#2), tip it into a diagonal position so that it can be introduced between the mainframe uprights, and then carefully lower it back to a horizontal position to rest on the table support pins (#4), between the retaining clips (#3).
- WARNING! Take care not to allow the bed frame to drop onto the table support pins and ensure your hands and fingers are clear of the bed frame when lowering.
- WARNING! Seek assistance from another person with this task as the bed frame is heavy.

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 (#9) onto the fl oor.
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” 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.
The transit valve on the bottom of the pump (opposite end to the handle) needs to be open during operation.

OPERATION

Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed and ready for operating.
Position the table at the required operating height by inserting the pins into the appropriate holes in the frame.
Position the V-block plates or press tools to be used onto the table and align them beneath the ram. Place the workpiece onto the table or V-blocks and align it beneath the ram as required. Note: Care must be taken to ensure a V-block does not fall from the press table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps (not supplied).
Operate the pump slowly untill the ram is close 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-centre loads.
When work is completed 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 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. Repair kits are available.
