SAFETY INFORMATION

 

 

This symbol alerts you to the possibility 

 

 

of serious injury or death if instructions 

 

 

are not followed.

 

 

This symbol alerts you to the possibility 

 

 

of damage to or destruction of equipment 

 

 

if instructions are not followed.

Failure to heed these warnings may result in loss 

of load, damage to the press and/or failure resulting 

in property damage, personal or fatal injury. This 

operating manual contains important details concern-

ing the safe operation of this tool. The user must read and understand these details 

before any use of the tool. This manual must be retained for future reference.

•  Read, study, and understand all instruction manuals packed with this  

 

press before operating.

•  Always wear safety goggles.

•  Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press 

 

at a dangerous rate of speed.  Because of the variety of press applica 

 

tions, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards and wear  

 

eye protection and heavy protective clothing when operating the press.

•  Visual inspection should be made before each use of the press, checking  

 

for signs of cracked welds, bent bed pins, loose or missing bolts, leaks,  

 

or any other structural damage.

•  Do not go near leaks.  High pressure oil can puncture skin and cause  

 

serious injury, gangrene, or death.  If injured, seek emergency medical  

 

help.  Immediate surgery is required to remove oil.

•  Keep hands and fingers out of the press and away from parts that may  

 

shift and pinch.  Do not stand in front of work area when load is applied. 

•  Always use an accurate pressure gauge to measure pressing force.

•  Do not exceed the rated capacity of this press.

•  Never tamper with hydraulic system pressure settings.

•  Do not substitute bolts, pins or any part of the components.  Use only  

 

genuine factory replacement parts.

•  Always center load on ram plunger.  Offset loads can damage ram and  

 

may cause load to eject at a dangerous rate of speed.

•  Remove all loads from press bed before attempting to adjust bed height.   

 

Beware of possibility of falling bed.

•  Press only on loads supported by press bed and included press plates.   

 

Do not support loads on floor or press frame.

•  When using any accessories such as arbor plates, be certain they are  

 

centered on press bed and are in full contact with press bed.

•  Before applying load, be certain all press bed supporting pins are fully  

 

engaged.

•  Always use a bearing shield when pressing bearings.  Use caution when  

 

positioning work to be pressed to ensure that the item that is to be pressed  

 

cannot be dislodged or broken during press work. This may result in the item  

 

being ejected from the press at a dangerous rate of speed.

•  Release hydraulic pressure before loosening any fittings.

•  Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.

•  Do not make any alterations to the press.

OWNER/USER RESPONSIBILITY

The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the manufacturer's 

operating instructions and warnings before using this press. Personnel involved 

in the use and operation of equipment shall be careful, competent, trained, 

and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use when 

servicing motor vehicles and their components. Warning information should 

be emphasized and understood. 

If the operator is not fluent in English, the manufacturer's instructions and 

warnings shall be read to and discussed with the operator in the operator's 

native language by the purchaser/owner, making sure that the operator 

comprehends  its contents.

Owner and/or user must study and maintain for future reference the 

manufacturer’s instructions. Owner and/or user is responsible for keeping all 

warning labels and instruction manuals legible and intact. Replacement labels 

and literature are available from the manufacturers.

INSPECTION

Visual inspection of the shop press should be made before each use of the 

press, checking for damaged, loose or missing parts. Each press must be 

inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately, if subjected to an 

abnormal load or shock. Any press which appears to be damaged in any way, 

is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally must be removed from 

service until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturers's authorized repair 

facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the press be made by 

a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals 

or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of 

authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•  CHECK YOUR LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS 

 

REGARDING THE SAFE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT. 

•  Your safety is top priority, please handle equipment with care.

•  Fully retract unit and remove all items from the press bed frame. 

•  Support the press bed, and remove the pins. 

•  Raise or lower bed to desired height and reinstall press pins. Be certain  

 

pins are fully engaged in the parallel flanges of the upright columns.

•  Position press on a flat, level, hard surface, preferably concrete.

 

Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.

•  Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, before using.

•  Set the press bed to the required height. The press is most effective 

 

when the work piece is located 1 inch below the ram’s retracted position.  

 

The compression stroke can include the entire 5 inch working range. 

•  The press is designed to exert a force on anything which is positioned  

 

beneath its ram. The work piece can pop out from under the ram at a 

 

high rate of speed and injure someone.

•  Pressing Bearings: It is essential that you use the bearing shield when  

 

pressing bearings on or off. 

•  A bearing shield or screen must be used.
