Maintenance
barrel and screw the piston-locking bolt tight, making sure that the smaller gasket is properly placed. Raise and
lower the piston, and tighten the piston locking bolt again, making sure it does not bend against the pressure of
the lid. Grease the thread of the piston-locking bolt before replacing it; this will make future dismantling easier.
When the machine is not in use, leave the piston head at the bottom of cylinder, where it will be submerged in
hydraulic oil. This will lengthen the life of the ram and the gaskets.
