• Never tamper with the press. The safety valve is calibrated and sealed at the 

factory; do not attempt to change the setting.

• Use only the recommended hydraulic oil.

• Components of this press are specially designed to withstand the rated 

capacity. Do not substitute bolts, pins, or any other components.

• Always apply the load under the centre of the ram. Offset loads can 

damage the ram or ram mount and may cause the work piece to eject.

• Before operating, check for signs of cracked welds, bent bed pins, loose or 

missing bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these 
conditions exist. Have repairs made only by authorised service centre.

• Remove load from press bed before attempting to adjust bed height.

• Press only on a work piece supported by the press bed.

• When using accessories such as arbor plates, be certain they are centered 

below the ram and are in full contact with the bed.

• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press. Due to 

varied applications, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards, 
wear eye protection and protective clothing when operating this press.

• Keep hands and fingers away from parts that may pinch and shift.

• Failure to heed these warnings may result in damage to the equipment, or 

failure resulting in property damage, personal, or even fatal injury.

• DO NOT use extension tubes on the pump handle. Excessive effort can cause 

damage and/or accidents.

UNPACKING

Ensure the press and its components suffered no damage during transit and 
that all components are present. Should any loss or damage become 
apparent, please contact your CLARKE dealer immediately.

TOOLS REQUIRED

•  Spanners to suit M6, M8 and M10 nuts/bolts, or an adjustable wrench.

•   PTFE  tape

ACCESSORIES

with the press but is available from your dealer as Clarke part no 7615060.
