INSTALLATION LOCATION
FIG. 16
FIG. 16
The Eastwood 12 Ton Floor Shop Press is designed to be used in
a Vertical position only with the Main Frame securely placed on a
clean, level and stable surface. DO NOT attempt to use in a horizontal
or any other position.
The Eastwood 12 Ton Floor Shop Press MUST be installed on a solid
and level surface for proper operation and safety.
INJURY HAZARD!
While in use, objects under pressure in the Eastwood 12 Ton Floor Shop Press can suddenly slip out of position, releasing a great deal
of stored up energy and force causing serious injury or death and property damage. Work from the Pump side of the Frame at all times.
Do not allow others near the tool while in operation.
INJURY HAZARD!
Use caution and do not allow side loading of the Ram piston if attempting offset loads.
Before beginning use, carefully plan out the positioning of the Support Table, Ram and Arbor Plates and analyze the expected movement
of the workpiece to minimize the danger of sudden movement or slippage.
OPERATION
• The Ram
[P]
and Yoke Plate
[M]
&
[N]
assembly can be moved off center if necessary to apply an offset force is possible but not recommended due to
the unequal stresses that can be transmitted through the frame. To do so, loosen the bolts, slide it into position then re-tighten bolts.
• Check that the Release Valve (Knob located at the Lower side of the Hydraulic Pump)
(FIG 16)
is closed. (Rotate in a Clockwise direction).
• Begin slowly operating Pump Handle while constantly observing the workpiece for expected movement and any signs of sudden slippage.
• When planned work is completed, carefully and slowly rotate the Release Valve (Rotate in a Counter-Clockwise direction) to release pressure.
