MAINTENANCE / REPAIR
NOTE: The Model 9661616 Hydraulic Press weighs 507 lbs. Be
certain any machine or devices used to lift the press are
capable of handling this weight. If manually lifting, ensure
that enough people are performing the lift.
3. Ensure sufficient space is available for the press. See
Machine Dimensions.
4. Remove all accessory items from the pallet or shipping
carton. Compare these items with the listed on page 3.
5. Remove all the nuts and/or bolts securing the machine to the
pallet.
6. Center an overhead crane or other suitable overhead lifting
device and sling arrangement over the frame.
7. Carefully lift the machine off the pallet. Lift the machine no
higher than necessary to clear the surface on which it is to
be installed and pull the pallet out of the way. DO NOT get
your hands or feet underneath the machine when removing
the pallet.
8. Place the machine into its final location where it will be
anchored to the table top. Anchor bolts of sufficient size and
length must be fastened to the table top according to the
footprint of the press.
9. While it is not recommended, the machine may be mounted
to a wooden floor. The floor must be sturdy and properly
braced to ensure a solid foundation for safety and machine
accuracy.
10. When the machine is over its anchor location, level the
machine using shims under the corners needing them. A
highly accurate spirit or digital level should used for leveling.
Leveling should be done on the table top since it is the
reference standard for both side-to-side and front-to-back
leveling. It is very important that the machine be properly
leveled for accurate performance.
Note: The diagrams to the right show the reasonable
approximate dimensions of the machine and its parts. When
determining a final location for your machine ensure there is
enough clearance for both the operator and for technicians
who will service the machine. Also, consider any larger
workpieces that would extend beyond the machine’s table
and require extra space.
11. Have an authorized electrician connect the machine to the
power source installed in step 1. If required, install a plug
the machine’s electrical cable if it is to be plugged in and not
hard-wired.
Note: The direction of the motor will be shown as a large red
arrow on the motor.
