ASSEMBLY
Ensure the press and its components suffered no damage during transit.
Should any damage be apparent, please contact your CLARKE dealer
immediately.
IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the press, we recommend that you get
assistance from another person during assembly.
1. With the main frame upright and adequately supported, bolt on the two
feet using the nuts and bolts supplied.
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend that the press be firmly secured to a
firm and level floor using expansion bolts (not supplied).
2. Remove the plug on the front of the pump body and replace it with the
vent plug supplied.
3. Remove the cap on top of the ram. Seal the thread with PTFE tape and
screw in the pressure gauge, ensuring it is tight.
4. Fit the pump handle into the actuating lever.
NOTE: Do not locate your press where it will be open to the elements, as it is
designed to operate at temperatures of between -10
O
C to 40
O
C. Severe
weather conditions will damage the hydraulic system.
5. Insert the two supporting pins into the lowest holes on the frame, one each
side.
6. With assistance place the bed on top of the two pins.
BED HEIGHT
Position the bed at the desired height, so as it will be as close as possible to the
ram when the workpiece is mounted.
IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the bed, we recommend that you get
assistance from another person when adjusting the bed height.
1. Raise one side of the bed, and insert a supporting pin into the next locating
hole.
2. Repeat at the other end of the bed to level out the bed,
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the bed is at the desired height, with the
supporting pins fully ‘home’.
CAUTION: THE BED HEIGHT SHOULD ONLY BE RAISED OR LOWERED 1
HOLE AT A TIME, WORKING ALTERNATELY FROM ONE SIDE AND THEN THE
OTHER, FAILURE TO WORK IN THIS WAY MAY CAUSE THE BED TO FALL
AND CAUSE INJURY TO THE OPERATOR
