4.2 RAISING THE BOLSTER
Raising and lowering the bolster is done by using a
combination of the ram and two tubes supplied with
the machine. The following process is used to raise or
lower the bolster.
1. Place the tube “L” (Fig. 13) on the table and secure
with the pin supplied (Fig. 14)
2. Move the head so the ram is sitting over the top of
the tube. When in place lock the main frame with
the hand pump
3. Carefully apply pressure to the ram until the pins
(Fig. 15) become loose. Remove the safety retainer
and slide the pins out.
4. Using the ram raise the bolster until the next set of
holes line up. Place
both
pins in the holes and then
retract the ram.
5. Add part “M” extenstion to the part “L” (Fig. 16)
and repeat step 4.
6. When the bolster is in the desired place and both
the large pins are in place, make sure that the
safety retainers have been placed back on the pins.
Use the same proces to lower the bolster.
