5. INSTALLATION
▲
DANGER!
Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly “give way” causing danger to
operator or the component.
5.1.
SECURE PRESS TO THE FLOOR
DO NOT
attempt to move assembled press manually. When moving the press follow the instructions as detailed in Section 1.
5.1.1.
Move the press to the mounting location, and spot mark through
fi
xing holes in base section (#11) onto the
fl
oor.
5.1.2.
Check for any hidden wiring or cables, if needed change the location for the holes.
5.1.3.
Temporarily move the press to the side.
5.1.4.
Use a masonry drill bit to drill the four holes about 3” to 4” (75 to 100mm) deep into the concrete or wood, as necessary.
5.1.5.
Clean out the drilled holes.
5.1.6.
Position the press and align the holes in the base section with the holes in the
fl
oor.
5.1.7.
Use four concrete anchor bolts or lag bolts for wooden
fl
oors, (not included), to secure to the
fl
oor.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury
DO NOT
use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs have the problem
corrected.
5.2.
BEFORE FIRST USE
5.2.1.
Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during transit. Open the
release valve and pump the handle several times and close the release valve. Should the system malfunction at any time,
repeating this process may resolve the problem.

DANGER
!
Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons,
always ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not
fl
ex or suddenly “give way” causing danger
to operator or the component. Also ensure you have read and understood section 1 Safety Instructions.
6. OPERATION
6.1.
Check that release valve, located on the front face of the protective housing for pump (#51), on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready
for
operating.
6.2.
Position the table at the required operating height by inserting the pins into the appropriate holes in the frame.
6.3.
Position the V-block plates or press tools to be used onto the table and align beneath the ram. Place workpiece onto the table or
V-blocks and align beneath the ram as required.
NOTE:
Care must be taken to ensure a V-block does not fall from the press table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with
clamps (not supplied).
WARNING!
DO NOT
apply off centre loads.
6.4.
Rotate the speed control valve clockwise, located on the right hand side of the protective housing for pump (#51), to the
‘Quick Speed’ position to lower the ram head rapidly until the ram is close or just touching the workpiece by using either the
handle or foot pedal.
NOTE:
If the foot pedal is selected for use, remove the handle from the pump assembly.
6.5.
When the ram head has made contact with the workpiece, rotate the speed control valve anti-clockwise to the ‘Slow Speed’ position,
providing a more controlled pressing with full load capacity.
NOTE:
The ‘Quick Speed’ setting will only operate at approximately 5tonne.
WARNING!
Monitor the pressure gauge during operation to ensure that the rated capacity of the press is not exceeded.
6.6.
When the operation is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise to release the pressure. The piston and the ram head will
retract
automatically.
NOTE:
Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion.
7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Maintenance and repair must be carried out by qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1.
Check all fittings are tight before each use.
7.2.
Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.3.
Always keep the press clean, dry, and protect from harsh conditions.
7.4.
Should you need to replace the oil ensure the piston is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil.
DO NOT
use brake fluid. Contact your local Sealey stockist for details. Purge the
system to remove any air.
7.5.
Check your model parts information for spares.
