- WARNING! To prevent serious injury DO NOT use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs have the problem corrected.
- WARNING! Ensure the mounting surface is capable of withstanding the weight of the press and workpieces.
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
SETTING THE BED FRAME HEIGHT
- Turn the hand winch (#21) until the cables just takes the weight of the bed frame (#28).
- Remove the retaining clips (#26) from the back of the pins (#27) and withdraw the pins, storing them in a secure location.
- Use the hand winch (#21) to raise or lower the bed frame (#28) to the desired height.
- Re-insert the pins (#27) and the retaining clips (#26).
- Slacken off the hand winch (#21) so that the pins (#27) are taking the full weight of the bed frame (#28).
- Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready for operating.
- Position the V-block (#4) or press tools to be used onto the table and align beneath the ram. Place workpiece onto the table 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 table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps (not supplied).
- WARNING! DO NOT apply off centre loads.
- 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 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.
