WARNING
NEVER FORCE THE INCLINING MECHANISM AFTER
THE REAR FRAME BOLTS ARE INSTALLED. PRESS
RIGIDITY IS OBTAINED BY TIGHTENING BOTH THE
FRONT AND REAR LEG BOLT NUTS. NEVER SUB-
JECT INCLINING JACK TO INTENSE COMPRESSION
OR TENSION.
AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
Auxiliary equipment (if any) should be cleaned, lubri-
cated and ready to operate before stroking the press
for the first time. Follow instructions on tags attached to
the equipment. Read and observe operating and main-
tenance instructions supplied by the manufacturer of
that equipment.
PRE-START LUBRICATION CHECK
The press must be lubricated in accordance with
instructions contained in the “Press Lubrication” sec-
tion of this manual. Procedures listed in the “Initial
Lubrication” section, page D-3, must be completed
before stroking the press for the first time.
All tubing and related fittings in the lubrication system
must be checked to make certain they are in good con-
dition. Occasionally, tubing is crushed or torn loose dur-
ing transit or erection of the press. If any of the
lubrication lines or hoses were disconnected for ship-
ping or handling purposes, they must be reconnected
at this time.
Minster Model 101 OBI/OBS Series presses are
shipped without oil in the lube reservoir. Do not attempt
to operate the press without first checking the oil level
in the reservoir. Fill the reservoir to the proper level, if
necessary, with an approved lubricant meeting the
specifications of Minster Lubricant No. 1. (Refer to
“General Lubrication Specifications For MINSTER
Presses,” Manual No. 507, for recommended lubri-
cants and suppliers.) Auxiliary or customer added
equipment should be lubricated in accordance with
instructions furnished by the manufacturer of that
equipment.
