SAFETY

✓ Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations, and hazards of 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, other loose jewelry 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 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 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-center loads.
× DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the 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 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 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.

INTRODUCTION

This hydraulic press is ideal for a variety of workshop applications and is particularly suited to agricultural or industrial use. Jobs such as straightening, bending, folding, punching, removing bolts and bearings, etc are some of the tasks that may be accomplished by your press. Supplied with a work table arbor.
• DANGER! This model is 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.

ASSEMBLY

4.1. Unpack the product and check contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately. Take care to ensure safety when removing uprights from packing as the units are very heavy.
4.2. Use the parts diagram as your guide to assembly. Lay all parts and assemblies out before beginning. The following procedure is recommended:
4.3. Identify and layout parts. Bolt the cross legs to the bottom of the pre- assembled mainframe.
4.4. Bolt the ram supporting plate or plates to the head of the mainframe.
NOTE. If your model has a top and bottom plate which attach to either side of the frame head, screw the nuts finger tight only at this stage.
4.5. Remove the plastic protection ring from the ram thread and apply a suitable thread locking compound, screw the ram into the support plate until it is tight, thread the locking ring onto the ramp on the lower side of the support plate and tighten.
4.6. Attach the pump according to model:
4.7. Should your model have a separate pump assembly plate, check the side of the mainframe to locate assembly holes. If you have a choice of left or right attachment, assemble the plate according to your operational requirement.
4.8. Attach the pump to the pump plate or to the appropriate attachment bars incorporated in the mainframe using the bolts provided.
4.9. The pump can be stowed on the side of the mainframe when not in use by hanging it on the hook provided.
4.10. Remove the plastic safety bung from the end of the pump hose and connect the hose to the ram inlet valve.
4.11. Insert the work table support pins through the holes in the mainframe. Taking firm hold of the table, tip it into a diagonal position so that it can be introduced between the mainframe uprights and carefully lower it back to a horizontal position to rest on the support pins.
• WARNING! Take care not to allow the working table to drop onto the pins and ensure your hands and fingers are clear of the working table when lowering.

INSTALLATION.

5.1. Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces. Should you wish to mount a bench press on a workbench or surface, ensure the bench is flat and level and is strong enough to support the press and any workpiece during operation.
5.2. 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. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this process resolve the problem?
• DANGER! Models are purpose-designed to withstand greater loads than 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

6.1. Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed ready for operating.
6.2. Position the working table at the required operating height by inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the mainframe.
6.3. Screw the required adaptor to the ram and if required identify the matching cutout on the arbor plate to be used.
6.4. Position the arbor plate or press tools to be used onto the work table and align beneath the ram. Place workpiece onto the work table or arbors and align beneath the ram as required.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure an arbor does not fall from the press work table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps.
6.5. Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to 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-center loads.
6.6. When work is complete 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 only be carried out by qualified personnel. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1. When the press is not in use, the hydraulic unit ram must be fully retracted to minimize corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate the press.
7.2. Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 7.3. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
7.4. Should you need to replace the oil, ensure the hydraulic unit ram is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
7.5. Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Number: HJ0500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid.
7.6. Purge the system to remove any air.
7.7. Check your model parts information for spares.
