INSTRUCTIONS
For use with the following presses:
HPB 10 tonne Bench Presses.
HPF 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 tonne Workshop Presses.
NOTE: FOR PUMP INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE REFER TO INSTRUCTION
SHEETS FOR SPECIFIC PUMP MODELS.
Safety Precautions.
The press should be sited in a restricted access area and adequate
barriers should be employed to prevent unauthorised approach.
Take care that all bodily parts are clear of the press cylinder and work
piece during operation of the press. Extra care is required when more
than one person is in the work area. Maintain adequate communication
between personnel.
Never exceed the rated capacity of the press.
Observe the pressure gauge regularly to monitor the load applied.
Ensure that the press bed and head are fully supported by the load
pins and that the 'R' clips are fitted to the load pins to prevent
accidental movement.
Do not attempt to remove the load pins with the press in operation.
The press bed and head are heavy items. Suitable lifting/ handling
equipment should be employed when adjusting the working height. A
mechanical bed winch is available as an optional extra (50 and 100
tonne models only) to assist in this procedure.
Always ensure that work pieces are adequately supported and cannot
move laterally under load. Vee blocks are available as an optional extra
to restrain cylindrical work pieces.
Ensure that the load is applied vertically through the work piece.
