MAINTENANCE
Clean the outside of the press with a dry, clean and soft cloth and periodically lubri-
cate the joints and all moving parts with a light oil.
When not in use store the press in a dry location with the ram and piston fully re-
tracted.
Check the hydraulic oil; remove the oil filler nut on the top of the reservoir and if the
oil level is not adequate fill with high quality hydraulic oil as necessary. Then replace
the oil filler nut and purge air from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Raise the work bed using the winch to the required height and move the pins to suit.
Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it is firmly closed.
Use the foot pedal (air) or pump the handle until the saddle nears the work piece.
Align the work piece and ram to ensure centre-loading.
Pump the handle to apply load onto the work piece.
When work is complete, stop pumping the handle, slowly and carefully remove the
load from the work piece by turning the release valve anti-clockwise in small incre-
ments. Once the ram has fully retracted remove the work piece from the bed frame.
SYSTEM AIR PURGE
1. Open the release valve by turning it anti-clockwise.
2. Pump several full strokes to eliminate any air from the system.
