3. ASSEMBLY

Unpack the product and check contents. If there are any damaged or
missing parts contact your supplier immediately. Take care to ensure
safety when removing main frame parts from packing as the unit is
very heavy. We recommend  that the press should be assembled by
two people.
3.1.

Use the assembly diagram overleaf as your guide. Lay all 
parts and assemblies out before beginning. The following 
procedure is recommended:

3.2. 

Attach one base leg 

(01) 

and lower cross member 

(08)

to left 

post 

(09)

using bolts 

(03)

, washers 

(04)

, lock washers 

(05)

and nuts 

(06) 

to secure, then repeat with the other base 

leg 

(01), 

attaching it to right post 

(09) 

and the lower cross 

member 

(08)

. Make sure that the joining plates on the two 

posts are facing outwards.

3.3

Place the assembly in an upright position and attach two 
diagonal braces 

(02)

to each base leg and post using bolts 

(03)

, washers 

(04)

, lock washers 

(05)

and nuts 

(06).

3.4. 

Attach the upper cross beam

(20)

to the left and right posts 

(09)

using bolts 

(16)

, washers 

(17)

, lock washers 

(18)

and 

nuts 

(19)

. Place the bolt heads on the inside of the frame.

3.5. 

Bolt the ram 

(15)

to the underside of the plate welded into the

centre of the cross beam using four M10 hex socket cap 
bolts with washers 

(04)

, lock washers 

(05)

and nuts 

(06). 

Ensure that the ram goes on the right way round so that the 
pressure gauge mounting tube protrudes through the hole in 
the plate.

3.6. 

Insert the nylon sealing ring 

(22)

into the internal thread of 

the fitting on the mounting tube and screw the pressure 
gauge 

(23)

into the fitting. Before tightening the fitting make 

sure that the gauge is facing in the best direction for viewing 
during operation.

3.7. 

Take note of which side the ram inlet port is facing and mount
the pump assembly 

(26)

onto the adjacent post using the 

upper two joining plates. Fix in position using four M10 x 20 
bolts 

(25)

washers 

(04)

and lock washers 

(05).

The pumping 

handle should be at the base of the pump.

3.8. 

Connect the hydraulic hose 

(24)

to the ram inlet port.
