4. ASSEMBLY
Numbers refer to attached Parts List
4.1.
Remove any loose items from the crate. Attach slings around the top cross member, using a suitable hoist or gantry lift the framework
out of the transportation crate into an upright position.
4.2.
Attach base sections (65) and (66) and supports (03) to the left and right posts using appropriate fasteners.
4.3.
Move the winch (21) to the outside of the left hand post (position A on the Parts List) and attach using appropriate fasteners. Ensure
that the cables are located correctly in the rollers before fully tightening.
4.4.
Bolt pump assembly (64) to the top of the frame.
4.5.
Connect pump assembly.
4.5.1.
Connect short hose (52) to pump. Remove blanking plug from pump connection (45), see fig.1.
4.6.
Fit air hose (61).
4.6.1.
Undo nut and remove blanking plug from end of the pipe, see fig.2. Place nut over pipe. Push on air hose (61). Tighten nut.
4.6.2.
Transit plug must be open in use. Only to be in closed position for transit.
4.7.
Fit gauge (58).
4.7.1.
Remove transit bolt from end of gauge fitting (57) and use PTFE tape to seal correctly.
4.8.
Fit handles (70, 71) onto pump (64).
4.9.
Fit carry handle (73).
5. INSTALLATION
5.1.
Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces. Ensure surface is capable of
withstanding weight of press and workpieces.
▲
DANGER
! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top
crossbeam, or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam.
DO NOT
use a pallet truck.
5.2.
PURGE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Before operating the press, the hydraulic system may require purging in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during transit.
Open the release valve by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle several times.
Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this procedure may resolve the problem.
▲
DANGER
! Presses are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons,
always ensure the workpiece is secured on the table to ensure loads that flex will not suddenly “give” causing danger to operator or
damage to component. Ensure you have read and understood chapter 1 Safety Instructions.
6. OPERATION
6.1.
Set the bed frame at the desired height, if adjustment is required, turn the hand winch until the cable just takes the weight of the bed
frame, remove the safety clips (26) from the back of the pins (27), and withdraw the pins. Use the hand winch to raise or lower the bed
frame to the height required, insert pins and safety clips. Slacken off the hand winch so that the pins are taking the full weight of the
bed frame.
6.2.
Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready for operation.
6.3.
Locate the flat pressing plates or the v-blocks on to the bed frame, push down the locating pins to ensure the plates do not slip. Place
workpiece onto the plates and position the head of the hydraulic unit on the centre of the workpiece using an appropriate extension.
Note:
Care must be taken to ensure the plates do not fall from the bed frame.
WARNING! DO NOT
apply off centre loads.
6.4.
When work is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise to release the pressure and the piston and the ram head will retract
automatically.
Note:
Always keep the piston retracted after use.
7. MAINTENANCE
Note:
Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1.
Always keep the press clean, dry and lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.2.
When not in use always store in a dry location with the piston retracted.
