Maintenance and control
•
Perform a visual inspection before every use. Check the device and its hydraulic connections
for leaks as well as loose, missing, damaged, or worn-out parts.
•
Check the oil level regularly. First set the press to its lowest position before removing the oil
cap. The oil level must exactly reach the opening; if this should not be the case, then refill the
device by using high-quality hydraulic oil. Once again tightly close the oil cap, ensuring that the
oil does not leak. The hydraulic oil should be completely replaced once a year.
•
Periodically lubricate all moving parts. Regularly check the hydraulic piston for corrosion and
dirt. Clean corroded or dirty spots with an oily cloth.
•
If the disposal of the workshop press should become necessary, the oil should be completely
drained and disposed of properly before the workshop press can be recycled.
Operation
1.
Carefully place the work piece on the bolster plates located on the press platform.
2.
Turn the release valve clockwise until it cannot be moved any more to close it.
3.
Pump the handle until the ram moves towards the work piece.
4.
Align the work piece to the pressure head to ensure that the two connect evenly and in a centred
way.
5.
Apply force to the work piece by further pumping the handle. Be careful not to apply too
much
pressure.
6.
Make sure the work piece has been stabilised and will not fall off before releasing the valve by
turning it counter-clockwise to remove the pressure from the work piece.
7.
Allow the pressure piece to retract completely before removing the work piece.
