SHOP PRESS PERMANENT MOUNT

holes into the base sections (#21) and then anchor the shop press to the floor
(anchor screws not included).
OPERATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before the first use, check for proper hydraulic oil level in the system. Then
thoroughly test the hydraulic ram for proper operation prior to its actual use.
1. Purge air from the hydraulic system. See Bleeding the Hydraulic System in the
Maintenance section.
2. Test the shop press without a workpiece to ensure all parts work smoothly.
Test again with a load. Gradually increase pressure and watch that the
workload does not shift and there is no distortion or deflection of the ram,
leakage from the pump assembly or shifting of the frame. A qualified
technician should examine and repair any problems with the pump itself.
