PUMP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Never allow hoses to kink, twist, curl or bend so tightly that
the oil flow within the hose is blocked or reduced. This could
damage the hose and possibly result in serious injury to
persons working in the immediate vicinity.

CAUTION

All hoses should run BEHIND
press frame and should be free
of kinks, twists or bends.

MODEL 5740EP:

Follow instructions for installing winch BEFORE attempting

to operate press.

MODEL 5750EP:

Follow instructions for installing winch BEFORE attempting

to operate press.

Using at least two people, lift the pump assembly
off of the forklift and orient the pump so that the
plastic tank is on the bottom. Align with holes on
right side of press frame.

Using the 1/2"-13 x 1-1/8" hex head bolts, nuts
and washers provided, attach the pump assembly
to the press frame. (Line up a bolt and a washer
in the inside of the frame first. Finish with the nut
attached under the pump assembly. Repeat with
other hole.)

Use adjustable wrench to remove silver filler
plug. Install air breather cap in its place.

NOTES

Begin behind the press. Using a forklift, place
the pump on the back side of the forks, closest
to the mast as shown in the diagrams.

- The ram should be upside down with the gauge
facing toward the press.

- All hoses should be between the forks.

WARNING

The press must be on a hard, flat surface, bolted to the floor if
necessary in the position in which it will remain for the life of
the equipment.

RAM ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Align the front end of the

forks with the four holes in the top

of the press, matching them up with
the four holes in the top of the ram.

Forklift located behind press

Slowly move the forks up toward the top

of the press, making sure the holes in the

top of the ram are aligned with the holes

in the press. The pump assembly will still

be resting on the forks.

TO BOLT RAM TO PRESS, stand on a sturdy ladder and look

down into press from the top. Use the provided

1/2-13 x 3/4" hex head bolts and washers, offsetting the

first two bolts and washers for more precise alignment.

Finish with the other two bolts and washers until the ram is

completely secured to the press frame.

These four bolts will

thread directly into pre-tapped holes in the ram.

Slowly move the forks back down toward

the bottom of the press, leaving the ram
securely attached at the top. Stop about

mid-way down to easily remove and

place the pump assembly.

9. Turn eye hooks to adjust and level press bed. Once bed is level,
  firmly tighten eye hook mounting hardware. The steel cable
  will stretch with use. It may be necessary to repeat this leveling
  procedure in the future.

10. Test the winch kit by raising and lowering the press bed from

its lowest to highest position. Repeat and adjust until bed is

level and moves freely throughout its entire range of motion.

Cut excess cable when all adjustments are complete.

Note:

Refer to manual from winch manufacturer for detailed

instructions on winch assembly and cable threading procedure.

4.  Run the long cable up and OVER
  BOTH ROLLER BRACKETS and feed
  into winch.

Be sure and thread 12 inches

(1 foot) of extra cable through winch.

5.  Once winch cable has been threaded, pull excess
  cable back through winch as shown in diagram
  above. The cable should be locked tightly around
  itself with no excess cable left hanging. Operate
  winch enough to remove slack from longer cable.

WARNING

Mount winch to frame
AFTER threading cable.

6.  Mount winch to frame using the
  provided washers, 1/2" nuts and
  1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" bolts.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This symbol alerts you to the possibility

of serious injury or death if instructions

are not followed.

This symbol alerts you to the possibility

of damage to or destruction of equipment

if instructions are not followed.

Failure to heed these warnings may result in loss

of load, damage to the press and/or failure resulting

in property damage, personal or fatal injury. This

operating manual contains important details concern-

ing the safe operation of this tool. The user must read and understand these details

before any use of the tool. This manual must be retained for future reference.

• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this press.

• Always wear safety goggles, (users and bystanders).

• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press at a dangerous

rate of speed. Because there are a variety of press applications, it is the responsibility

of the press owner to provide adequate guards, eye protection and protective clothing

to the press operator.

• Visual inspection of the press should be made before use, checking for signs of cracked

welds, bent bed pins, loose or missing bolts, leaks, or any other structural damage.

Corrections must be made before using the press.

• Do not go near leaks. High pressure hydraulic ﬂuid can puncture skin and cause serious

injury, gangrene, or death. If injured, seek emergency medical help as immediate

surgery is required to remove the ﬂuid.

• Prior to use make sure the press is securely anchored to a concrete ﬂoor.

• Keep hands, arms, feet, and legs out of work area. Accidental slippage can result in

personal injury.

• Always use an accurate force gauge to measure pressing force.

• Do not exceed the rated capacity or tamper with the pressure/force settings. When

attachments and adapters are used the rated capacity of the system shall be no greater

than the rated capacity of the lowest rated component or combination of components

that make up the system.

• Avoid off-center loads. Offset loads can damage ram and may cause load to eject at a

dangerous rate of speed. Do not use any spacer or extender between the press ram

plunger and the item being pressed. If there is not enough ram stroke, adjust the height

of the movable bolster.

• Remove all loads from movable bolster before attempting to adjust bolster height.

Beware of possible falling bolster.

• Press only on loads supported by movable bolster and press plates included. Do not

support loads on ﬂoor or press frame legs.

• When using any accessories such as press plates or arbor plates, be certain they are

centered on the movable bolster and in full contact with both sides of the bolster.

• Before applying load, be certain all movable bolster supporting pins are fully engaged.

Verify lift cables (if equipped) are slack before pressing on the bolster.

• Always use a bearing shield when pressing bearings.

• Use caution when positioning work to be pressed to ensure the item to be pressed

cannot be ejected at a dangerous rate of speed.

• Release hydraulic pressure before loosening any ﬁttings.

• Maintain proper hydraulic ﬂuid levels.

• Do not make any alterations or modiﬁcations to the press.

• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands thoroughly

after handling.

• Failure to heed and understand these markings may result in serious or fatal personal

injury and/or property damage.

OWNER/USER RESPONSIBILITY

The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the manufacturer's

operating instructions and warnings before using this press. Personnel involved

in the use and operation of equipment shall be careful, competent, trained,

and qualiﬁed in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use when

servicing motor vehicles and their components. Warning information should

be emphasized and understood.

INSPECTION

Visual inspection of the shop press should be made before each use of the

press, checking for damaged, loose or missing parts. Each press must be

inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately, if subjected to an

abnormal load or shock. Any press which appears to be damaged in any way,

is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally must be removed from

service until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturers's authorized repair

facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the press be made by

a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals

or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s speciﬁed parts. A list of

authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• CHECK YOUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS

REGARDING THE SAFE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

• Your safety is top priority. Please handle equipment with care.

• Fully retract unit and remove all items from the press bed frame.

• Support the press bed, and remove the pins.

• Raise or lower bed to desired height and reinstall press pins. Be certain

pins are fully engaged in the parallel ﬂanges of the upright columns.

• Position press on a ﬂat, level, hard surface, preferably concrete.

Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.

• Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, before using.

• Set the press bed to the required height. The press is most effective

when the work piece is located 1 inch below the ram’s retracted position.

The compression stroke can include the entire 5 inch working range.

• The press is designed to exert a force on anything which is positioned

beneath its ram. The work piece can pop out from under the ram at a

high rate of speed and injure someone.
