Open shipping crate and remove inventory items
included inside (see Figure 2).
Workpieces positioned off-center below
hydraulic ram can be ejected unexpectedly
from force being applied unevenly, striking
operator or bystanders with great force.
Always ensure workpiece is positioned
so force is evenly distributed. STOP and
release compression if workpiece shifts
during pressing.

T27978 50-Ton Hydraulic Press (Mfd. 12/16)
Identification
A. Winch. Raises and lowers press bed to
adjust bed height.
B. Table Plates. Support workpiece during
bending operation.
C. Hydraulic Ram. Applies pressure directly
to workpiece. Hydraulic ram operates using
both incoming air line for rapid downward
movement and manual pump handle for
slower downward ram movement.
D. Pressure Gauge. Shows pounds of force
being applied to workpiece.
E. Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir. Holds hydraulic
fluid for operation of hydraulic ram.
F. Tank Relief Valve. Releases pressure from
hydraulic ram to release workpiece.
G. Air Cylinder Control. Valve controls amount
of air released from air line cylinder to
hydraulic ram.
H. Air Line Cylinder. Provides pressure to
lower hydraulic ram. Maximum incoming air
pressure is 125 PSI.
I. Pump Handle. Manually lowers ram into
workpiece in small increments.
J. Press Bed. Supports workpiece during
pressing operation. Bed raises and lowers
using winch.
K. Support Rods. Support press bed at prede-
termined heights of holes in machine frame.

1. With the help of two assistants, remove
press from shipping crate, hold upright, and
attach both base supports (see Figure 4)
using (4) M10-1.5 x 25 hex bolts, 10mm flat
washers, 10mm lock washers, and M10-1.5
hex nuts.
Assembly
This machine and its
components are very
heavy. Reduce risk of
strain or lifting injury
by getting lifting help or
using power lifting equip-
ment such as a forklift to
move heavy items.
2. Attach angle braces to each base support
using (8) M10-1.5 x 25 hex bolts, 10mm flat
washers, 10mm lock washers, and M10-1.5
hex nuts, as shown in Figure 4.

3. Attach hydraulic reservoir assembly to out-
side of press frame (see Figure 5) by thread-
ing (4) M10-1.5 x 30 hex bolts, 10mm flat
washers, and 10mm lock washers through
frame mounting bracket into threaded holes
of hydraulic assembly.
4. Attach winch to outside of press frame, as
shown in Figure 6, using (2) M10-1.5 x 25
hex bolts, 10mm flat washers, and M10-1.5
hex nuts.
Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, local codes may require that it
be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Operating Press
1. Rotate tank relief valve (see Figure 8) fully
clockwise to close it. Ensure top relief valve
is open 1–2 turns.
2. Engage latch on winch (see Figure 9), and
raise press bed to desired height, insert
support rods (see Figure 10) into holes in
machine frame closest to bed, then lower bed
onto support rods.

3. Connect air valve to incoming air compressor
line. Confirm incoming air pressure is 110–
125 PSI.
ALWAYS ensure winch latch is engaged
when raising/lowering press bed! Engaging
latch prevents bed from accidentally
dropping if winch handle is released, which
may result in crushing injury.
4. Place table plates on press bed (see Figure
12), and place workpiece on table plates.

Maintenance
The T27978 50-Ton Press features a fully-sealed
hydraulic unit and air cylinder. Periodically check
press for loose mounting bolts or any unsafe con-
ditions. Thoroughly clean press components on
an as-needed basis for best operation.
1. Wipe all dirt and dust off press components.
2. Apply light oil to surface of ram.
3. Check hydraulic ram and press bed sup-
port rods for cracks or damage. Replace if
necessary.
To clean/maintain press:
6. For precise application of ram force on work-
piece, pump handle to increase pressure
incrementally. Refer to pressure gauge for
actual workpiece pressure (see Figure 14).

Always ensure workpiece is positioned
so force is evenly distributed. STOP and
release compression if workpiece shifts
during pressing.
5. Lower ram by pressing and holding air valve
tab (see Figure 13). Ram should lower
smoothly.
