UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing
material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a degreaser
or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to allow for cleaning
the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be
removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to stick
and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing parts
are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
GAS
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

11
11
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
•The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2
times the machines gross weight.
•Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the
transport area.
•Use a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks
that are long enough to reach the complete width
of the machine.
•Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine
to the pallet.
•Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
•Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
•Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
•Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
•Use lift equipment such as straps and chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
•Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
•Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
•Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
•Locate the machine where it is to be installed, then lower slowly until it touches the floor.
NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a
truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain
carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
•Overall weight of the machine.
•Weight of material being processed.
•Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
•Space needed for auxiliary stands, worktables, or other machinery.
•Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
•Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
•Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
•Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
•Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
•If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
•LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
•FLOOR: This machine distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain
that the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
•WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be processed.
Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
•POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.

13
13
Anchoring the Machine
•Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
•This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4" (102mm) thick, 6" (153mm) minimum is preferred.
Tank Filling
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the
running parts of the pump.
After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up to 90% of
capacity. Reference any labels or markings affixed to the outside of the machine. If none exist,
use SHELL BRAND #46 or #68 hydraulic oil or an equivalent with similar specifications. (Based
upon location temperature and availability.)
Verify that any cylinder rams are in the retracted position to prevent overfilling of the tank. Recheck
the oil level after the first few hours of operation and again after the first full week of operation.
A shortage of hydraulic oil can cause hydraulic system breakdown and damage to major
mechanical parts due to overheating.

ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your machine is wired for 230 volts, 60hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine to
the power source, make sure the power source is OFF.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement, the allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
Considerations
•Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
•The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with an amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
•A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric
current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
•All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
•In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO THE MACHINE
BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any
electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.

18
18
•Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
•Check with a qualified electrician, or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
•Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
