2. Close the release valve by turning
it clockwise until tightly closed.
3. Pump the handle to bring the ram
very lightly into contact with the
workpiece.
4. Manoeuvre the workpiece or slide
the ram to one side so that the
desired point of contact is directly
beneath the centre of the ram.
5. When satisfied that the workpiece
is correctly aligned and is completely stable in that position, slowly pump
the handle so that the ram begins to exert pressure on the workpiece.
Continue to pump the handle whilst standing to the side. Do NOT stand
directly in front of the work, and constantly monitor the process, ensuring
the ram and work remain completely in line and there is no risk of slipping.
6. When the process is complete, turn the release valve anticlockwise in small
increments to release ram pressure and allow removal of the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
• A visual inspection must be made before each use of the press, checking for
leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
• Owners and/or users should be aware that repair of this equipment requires
specialised knowledge and facilities. It is recommended that a thorough
annual inspection of the press be made and that any defective parts be
replaced with genuine Clarke parts.
• Any press which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly
worn, or operates abnormally SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until the
necessary repairs are made.
• If the press is not to be used for any length of time, store it with the ram piston
withdrawn and the operating handle in the lowered position to protect the
moving parts.
PERIODICALLY
• Check the press frame to make sure all bolts are tight and inspect for
cracked welds, bent, loose or missing parts.
WARNING: NEVER USE EXTENSIONS TO THE RAM PUMPING HANDLE
