
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.

Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.

If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.

LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. For stationary machines,
provisions for securing it should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of
any machine depends on the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.

FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.

WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.

POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Anchoring the Machine

Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.

This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.
Tank Filling
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the
running parts of the pump.
After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up to 90% of
capacity. Verify that any cylinder rams are is in the retracted position to prevent overfilling of the
tank. Recheck the oil level after the first few hours of operation and again after the first full week
of operation.
A shortage of hydraulic oil can cause hydraulic system breakdown and damage to major
mechanical parts due to overheating
