Figure 2. Inventory items.

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.

Figure 3. Machine components.

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).

5. Lower ram by pressing and holding air valve

tab (see Figure 13). Ram should lower

smoothly.
