Weekly Checks
! Clean press inside and out. Remove any foreign material, rags, chips, scrap, etc. which
may have accumulated.
! Clean-up floor and area surrounding the press.
! Check flywheel (or main gear) cover to make certain it is in place and secure.
! Make certain all covers are closed and properly secured.
! Check feed and scrap shear cover, if applicable, to make certain it is in place and
secure.
! Check for any other covers that are missing or broken and replace as necessary.
! Check automatic feeding equipment for loose mounting bolts, brackets, rods and
levers. Tighten if necessary.
! Check scrap shears for dull knives and improper setting.
! Make certain gear case gear teeth and all other feed equipment bearings are properly
lubricated per feed manufacturer’s instructions.
! Check physical size of die for compatibility with press. (Die should not extend beyond
edge of slide face or bolster. Small die area may cause concentrated loading.)
! Check tonnage requirements of die or dies to be installed. (Do not exceed tonnage
capacity of press.)
! If dies are set, test press to determine if it is overloaded. Do not operate press above
maximum rated tonnage.
