Safety instructions
General safety instructions:
• The Hydro Press may only be operated with water pressure, never use air pressure - Risk of
explosion!
• Important: In order to prevent an air buffer inside the diaphragm, press down the vent plunger
until the air has fully escaped and water leaks out of the unit.
• The rubber diaphragm must be protected from sharp objects and exposure to the sun (may
cause brittleness).
• Please provide a secure installation, placing the product on a flat and stable surface.
• The press shall only be used as stated in the description of its intended purpose, and while
technically safe and in flawless condition. Please verify the safe condition of the unit prior to
anyuse.
In order to ensure a long service life of the diaphragm, the press should be stored, if possible, in a
dark room sheltered :from the environment and protected :from sunlight. Continuous exposure to
sunlight (UV/ozone) causes synthetic rubber products to age faster and become brittle.
Children and frail users:
• For the safety ofyour children, please remove or keep all packaging material (cardboard,
Styrofoam, etc.) out of children's reach.
• The equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities and shall not be operated by persons lacking experience and/or
knowledge about the equipment, unless such person is supervised by another person who is
familiar with relevant safety regulations. If children are present, they must be under constant
supervision in order to ensure they remain out ofharms way. Remember, the Hydro Press is not
a toy!
Pressure relief valve:
The pressure relief valve is set to the max. of 3 bar water pressure. Should the operating pressure
exceed this maximum setting, the valve will be activated and the water will drain.
Prior to first use
Before using the equipment for the first time, all components should be cleaned and rinsed
thoroughly with water. Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. The press cloth shall also
be cleaned thoroughly with water.
Assembly
After removing the device :from its packaging, please use the included screws to attach the legs to
the base frame. Please provide a secure installation for all equipment, placing the product on a
stable and weight-bearing surface. Most important is the water drainage and, if possible, the water
connection should not be located too far form the press.
