OPERATION
CONTROLS
Hand Crank:
(item 62 & 63) on the side of the press is to assist in lowering and raising the table
of the press once the table pins are removed. Do not forget to replace the pins once you have
the table at the desired height.
Head Positioning Handwheel:
can be loosened to allow the head to move along the upper
frame track and can be positioned at any length on the top frame. After in position, tightening
the handwheel completely will keep the head in place.
Handle:
(item 55) is the pressure supply source and is manually operated with up and down
motion.
IMPORTANT!
Always pump the piston
down ½” before the nose piece comes in contact
with the work. Damage to the piston may occur if not pumped before meeting the work.
Release Valve Handwheel:
releases the pressure to let the ram return to its raised position.
Always keep the valve firmly closed when operating the press until you want to release the
pressure.
Screw
Handwheel
(item 25) raises or lowers the ram screw in and out of the piston assembly.
Always keep the portion of the screw extending out of the piston as short as possible. Instead of
overextending the screw it is recommended to raise the table rather than running the screw out
of its limit of travel.
NEVER EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED STROKE OF 8 INCHES FOR
THIS PRESS. EXCEEDING THE STROKE WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INNER
PACKINGS.
