Install top beam
a. Carefully position top beam onto prepared belt ends; avoid disrupting prepared
belt ends and possibly separating the fingers.
Heavy object
if weight and length of top beam is difficult to handle by yourself, enlist assistance
of another person.
Danger
b. Center top beam so that all four connector bolts are free to fully rotate upwards.
this is necessary for proper press alignment. hand tighten the bolts, ensuring they
are seated properly in spherical recess on top beam. (Fig. 9)
Caution
do not allow users to get fingers caught in potential pinch points.
Danger
press is capable of producing a pressure up to 2.5 bars (36.3 psi). do not operate the
press with a missing or broken bolt as this can cause serious physical harm and/or dam-
age to press. if a bolt is missing or broken, replace with authorized factory parts only.
Warning
to ensure proper thread engagement, the prepared belt ends (including various pads)
cannot exceed 15 mm (0.59 in). this does not necessarily relate to the press’ heating
capability. exceeding this thickness will not allow sufficient thread engagement of the
Connecting bolts to ensure safe clamping of the press, and can result in damage to the
press and personal danger.
