OPERATION
RAM MOVEMENT
To raise the ram, turn the release valve handle clockwise, so that the release valve is closed. Then
press the raise button to raise the ram. The ram will raise as long as the operator presses the button.
Ram movement can be stopped at any time by releasing the raise button.
After the work has been contacted, the press will continue to build pressure as the ram advances,
until the press reaches its maximum tonnage. At this point the relief valve will open, allowing oil to
return to the reservoir.
To release pressure and lower the ram, turn release valve handle counterclockwise to open the
release valve. This permits the oil to return to the reservoir and the ram to lower.
HOIST
The hoist hand crank is provided to raise and lower the upper platen to the proper work height. To
change the vertical position of the upper platen, sufficient tension must first be applied to the hoisting
cable to permit removal of table pins. Then the upper platen may be raised or lowered to the desired
position. All table pins must be inserted once desired position is achieved.
CAUTION: Be sure all the table pins are in place and there is slack in the cable before
applying any pressure. It is advisable to lower the top platen opposed to running the lower
platen to the end of its stroke.
