SETUP LOCATION
Assembly of your STX SYSTEM is quick and simple. The press is heavy and therefore it
must be mounted on a sturdy surface.
NOTE: Failure to properly mount this press to your work surface can result in injury to you should
the press tip over. Ensure the area is well lit for your safety.
ASSEMBLY OF PRESS PARTS
First, make sure that the ram of the press is in its full down position. Next, insert the
geared pinion (Item #2 in Figure 1) through the head of the press. Take care to ensure
that the teeth of the geared pinion of the lever arm properly engages the teeth of the
ram. As you insert the geared pinion, take note of where the lever arm is located and
remove and reinsert the pinion gear to place the lever arm most comfortable to you.
Once the geared pinion and its associated lever arm is where you would like it to be,
install the collar (Item #3 in Figure 1) on the end of the pinion shaft and tighten the set
screw with the hex key provided. Leave a very slight bit of play when you position the
collar to prevent binding as the handle is rotated to move the ram. See Figure 2 below.
Note: You may use a small amount of light weight oil or grease on the gears of the ram drive and pinion if
the teeth are dry prior to assembly.
