forks can be positioned under the upper platen after removing the front gate and the
rear screen. A flat piece of wood must be placed on the forks to prevent damage to
the upper platen.
The 2000/3000 BS Compression Frames are also supplied with two “Dynamo”
eyebolts which, if not supplied already fitted, can be screwed in the top of the frame
through the large holes in the top cover.
Note: The eyebolts supplied are “Dynamo” eyebolts to BS4278 which are
intended for direct lifting only. A spreader beam or spreader frame must
always be used.
3.1.3 Moving, Lifting and Siting the Console
Lift/move away from the pallet and place into position using a fork lift or hoist and
lifting straps under the cabinet.
3.2
Connecting the Compression Frame to the Console
3.2.1 Connecting the Hydraulics.
Connect the outlet of the Console (at the rear) to the inlet of the Compression frame
(at the rear) with the flexible hydraulic hose supplied, ensuring that all connections
are fully tightened.
Note:
if a Flexural Frame is to be connected, then this should be connected to the
upper outlet on the Console. The Compression Frame should be connected to the
lower outlet on the Console. In most cases, it is the frame with the highest capacity
that is connected to the lower outlet.
3.2.2 Connecting the Ram Travel Limit Switch.
For details please refer to section 4.18.2.
3.2.3 Connecting to the Mains Supply
For details, please refer to section 4.4.
3.3
Preparing the Hydraulics (see figure 3)
The hydraulic reservoir in the Console is normally full when the machine is delivered.
If the reservoir is empty on delivery, the oil will be supplied in containers.
3.3.1 Checking the Oil Level (see figure 3)
To check the oil level, remove the door from the Console by unscrewing the four
retaining screws and then unscrew the oil filler plug. The level of the oil should be at
the bottom of the thread in the filler elbow.
If oil is required, use only the grade as specified in section 2.
3.3.2 Bleeding the Hydraulic System (see figures 1 and 3)
The hydraulic ram is provided with a bleed screw. This is used to release any air
from the hydraulic system after installation or after an oil change. To open or close
the bleed screw requires the use of a 5 mm AF hexagon wrench (supplied with the
machine).
Important:
the bleed screw captivates a steel ball. Do not completely remove
the bleed screw as this may cause the ball to become lost.
The bleed screw on the ADR-Auto 1500/2000 and 3000 Compression Frame is
accessible after removing the lower platen (and any distance pieces).
