OPERATION MANUAL
3.4 OPTIONS FOR MOUNTING
The machine is best mounted on a concrete slab.
Masonry anchors with bolts are the best way to anchor the
machinery, because the anchors sit flush with the floor sur-
face, making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if
needed. (Fig. 3-8)
3.3 SITE PREPARATION
When selecting the site for the machine, consider the largest size of workpiece that will be
processed through the machine and provide enough space around the machine for operating
the machine safely. Consideration should be given to the installation of auxiliary equipment.
Leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required for the
maintenance and service as described in this manual.
It is recommended that the machine is anchored to the floor to prevent tipping or shifting. It
also reduces vibration that may occur during operation.
3.2 BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Before using the press, any air needs to be
removed from the system.
To Bleed the system:
1. Opening the release valve by turning it
anticlockwise
2. Pump the handle of the pump around ten
full strokes to eliminate any air bubbles.
(Fig.3.9)
3. Close the release valve by turning it clock
wise and start to pump. If the pressing
seems spongy then repeat the process.
• The press is now ready for use.
