ASSEMBLY, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE
ASSEMBLY- Refer to the parts diagram in this manual as a guide to assemble this hydraulic shop press.
1) Attach together one base section (#223) and lower cross bar (#228) to the left post (#221) using hex. bolts (#227), washers (#224), spring
washers (#225) and hex. nuts (#226). Only hand tighten the hardware at this point. Then attach the other base section and the lower cross bar
to the right post.
2) Attach four diagonal braces (#222) to the outside of the base sections and posts using hex. bolts (#227), washers (#224), spring washers
(#225) and hex. nuts (#226).
3) Tighten all hardware firmly in steps 1 and 2. Place the assembled frame in its upright position.
4) This next step normally requires another person to help you. Both upper cross beams (#210) and cylinder under plate (#207) must be placed
together so the under plate brackets suspend it from the upper cross beams. One person must lift and position these parts on the top of the
posts, the second person must insert four hex. bolts (#209) throught the upper cross beams and posts to hold it in place. Fix these parts to the
posts using washers (#211), spring washers (#212) and hex. nuts (#213). At this point the under plate should hang from the upper cross beams.
5) Screw the upper round nut (#206) onto the cylinder body (#203). Insert the cylinder into the opening in the under plate (#207), then screw the
under round nut (#208) onto the cylinder from underneath the under plate. Install the hub (#205) to the bottom of the cylinder ram and secure
it in place with the set screw (#204).
6) Insert both bed frame support pins (#220) into the frame posts (equal height). Position the two bed frames (#218 & 219) onto the two bed frame
support rods. Attach both bed frames together by inserting four long hex. bolts (#229) through bed frame, then bushings (#230) then the bed
frames again, fix using washers (#214) and hex. nuts (#215).
7) Install the pump plate (#233) to the right side frame post using hex. bolts (#227), washers (#224), spring washers (#225) and hex. nuts (#226).
Then install the hydraulic pump assembly (#234) to the pump plate using hex. bolts (#231) and washers (#232). Screw in the pump handle
and grip (#235).
8) Connect the hydraulic hose (#236) to the connection nut on the cylinder, then install the pressure gauge (#201) to the pressure gauge
connection nut.
9) Install grid guard sliding brackets (#237) to the front bed frame (#219) using hex. nuts (#226). Slide the grid guard (#238) in between the sliding
brackets and lock it in place by installing and tightening lock knobs (#239).
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1) Before using this hydraulic shop press for the first time, purge away air from the hydraulic system, open the release valve (A) Fig.1
by turning it counterclockwise. Pump several full strokes to eliminate the air in the system, retighten release valve.
2) Check all parts, if there are any broken parts, do not use this hydraulic shop press until the broken parts have been replaced.
OPERATION
1) Position the bed frame to the appropriate height using the bed frame posts. Place the
pressure plates (#217) on the bed frame and then position your workpiece in between
them.
2) Close the hydraulic pump release valve (A) Fig.1 by turning it clockwise until it is firmly
closed.
3) Pump the pump handle until the hub gets near the top of the workpiece.
4) Align the workpiece or the entire cylinder assembly to ensure center-loading.
5) Lift the grid guard and lock into place by tightening the two lock knobs.
6) Pump the pump handle to apply load onto workpiece.
7) When the work is done, stop pumping pump handle, slowly remove the load from
workpiece by turning the pump release valve counterclockwise in small increments.
8) Once the ram has completely retracted, lower the grid guard and remove your workpiece
from the bed frame.
MAINTENANCE
1) Clean the outside of the press with a dry cloth and periodically lubricate the joints and all moving parts with a light oil as needed.
2) When not in use, store the hydraulic shop press in a dry location with the ram and piston of the cylinder fully retracted.
3) When the press effeciency drops, purge the hydraulic system to eliminate any air in the system.
4) Check hydraulic oil: remove the oil filler nut (B) Fig.1 on the pump, if hydraulic oil is needed, fill with high quality hydraulic pump oil as
necessary. Replace the oil filler nut and purge away any air from the hydraulic system.
