NOTE: 1 Bar = 100 kilopascals (kPa)
1 Bar = 14.5038 Psi
Pipe construction from the air mains to a point near the
press should be of new .75 inch (19 mm) pipe. As the
distance from the main line increases, larger pipe will
be required for the branch line.
NOTE: Pipe runs should not exceed 50 feet (15
meters) or difficulties from inadequate air pres-
sure could result. All lines must be clean and
free of rust.
Accumulated moisture should be removed from the
supply line by coolers at the compressor. Any conden-
sation in shop air mains can be controlled by sloping
the supply line (in the direction of air flow) with drains
installed at the lowest point of each downward run.
(NOTE: Use a saw-toothed pattern for long pipe runs.)
Any branch lines used for air supply to the press should
be taken off the top side of the main air lines rather than
the bottom.
Approved water separators may be installed ahead of
the supply connection on the press (if necessary). Sep-
arators and supply tanks should be drained of any
accumulated moisture on a daily basis. (Automatic
draining water separators are commercially available
for this purpose.)
At the press, use a length of .50 inch (12 mm) minimum
flexible air hose to connect the press to the branch line
because some movement of the press will occur during
operation.
For servicing purposes, an air lockout valve is provided
on the press. Make certain the valve is closed and
locked before performing maintenance procedures on
the press. Conversely, make certain the valve is fully
open before attempting to operate the press.
INCLINING THE PRESS
Minster Model 101 OBI Series presses are inclinable.
Flywheel presses may be inclined to one of four posi-
tions: 0
o
(vertical), 10
o
, 20
o
, or 30
o
. Geared presses
may be inclined to one of three positions: 0
o
(vertical),
10
o
, 20
o
. The presses may be inclined as follows:
1. Make certain all power cables and air lines are in a
position where they will not be pulled tight or other-
wise caught on the press as the press is inclined.
Check clearance around the top of the frame,
motor, flywheel and gear covers, and press attach-
ments. Move or reroute any object that may be
struck as the press is inclined.
2. Loosen the front leg bolts. (See Figure 7C.) Loosen
the bolts only enough to allow for movement without
binding. Do not remove the cotter pins that retain
the nuts on the front leg bolts.
3. Remove the cotter pins and nuts from the two rear
frame bolts. Then remove the rear frame bolts from
their respective holes.
4. Lubricate the inclining jack screw with an approved
lubricant meeting the specifications of Minster
Lubricant No. 1.
WARNING
NEVER ADJUST PRESS INCLINATION BEYOND
THE LIMITS OF 0 (VERTICAL) AND 30 .
5. Turn the inclining jack handle to raise or lower the
press inclination as desired. Position the press so
that the rear frame bolt holes are aligned with the
appropriate holes in the legs at the desired 0
o
(ver-
tical), 10
o
, 20
o
, or 30
o
setting.
6. Insert both rear frame bolts through the aligned
holes in the press legs and frame. Install a 1.25”
Hex. Nut and flat washer on each bolt and tighten
securely. Install cotter pins in the holes provided
near the end of the bolts.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE PRESS WITH THE REAR
FRAME BOLTS REMOVED.
7. Tighten the front frame leg bolts.
