Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
9Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and hazards of the press.
9Maintain the press in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
9Locate the press in an adequate working area for its function, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure
there is adequate lighting.
9Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the press.
9Ensure that all fittings are tight before each use.
9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9Keep hands and body clear of the table when operating the press.
9Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
9Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface capable of supporting the weight of press and any workpiece taking into account
clearance for workpieces.
9When not in use, release pressure from the hydraulic unit and clean the press. Stand or store the arbor plates in a safe location.
8DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
8DO NOT use the press for a task it is not designed to perform.
8DO NOT make any modifications to the press.
8DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press.
8DO NOT apply off-centre loads.
8DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the table.
8DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8DO NOT operate the press when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8DO NOT climb upon the press.
8DO NOT use the press to compress a spring or any other item that could disengage and cause a potential hazard including personal
injury.
8DO NOT stand directly in front of a loaded press and never leave a loaded press unattended.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the press.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press. A full range of personal safety equipment is available
from your Sealey stockist.
WARNING: DO NOT top up hydraulic unit with brake fluid, or any other fluid other than a good quality hydraulic oil (Sealey Part
Number: HJO500MLS/HJO5LS) as this may cause serious damage to the hydraulic unit and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Always position the press against a wall. If the press is situated in the open workshop, it is essential that a guard
be placed at the rear of the unit. This will prevent injury to bystanders in the event of the work piece ejecting suddenly.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be applied by the operator.
▲DANGER! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top
crossbeam, or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.

4. ASSEMBLY
REFER TO PARTS LIST DIAGRAM
4.1. Unpack the product and check the contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts, contact your supplier immediately. Take
care to ensure safety when removing main frame from its packing, as the unit is very heavy.
4.2. Use the parts diagram as your guide to assembly. Lay all parts and assemblies out before beginning assembly. The following
procedure is recommended.
4.3. Attach one of the base sections (5) to the left post and lower cross member (7) using bolts (8), washers (2), lock washers (3) and
nuts (4). Add two supports (6) to the post and base sections, using bolts (1), washers (2), lock washers (3) and nuts (4).
Repeat the operation for the right hand side.
4.4. Lifting from the upper cross beam end lift the press into an upright position.
WARNING! Ensure help is available and use slings and a suitable hoist or gantry to raise the press to an upright position.
4.5. Insert the bed frame pins (9) and circlips(10) into the holes in each of the posts, ensuring that they are level and then with the help of an
assistant insert the bed frame (11) into the press frame resting on to the pins and add further pins (9) and use circlips (10) to lock in place.
4.6. Attach the pump and air motor to the right hand post using bolts (18) and washers (2).
4.7. Attach the ram assembly (15) to the upper cross beam using bolts (21) and compression springs (20).
4.8. Connect the hydraulic hose (27) to the ram (15) (A to A) and assemble the pressure gauge (13) to the ram assembly (C to C).
4.9. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws.
5. INSTALLATION
▲DANGER! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top
crossbeam, or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.
5.1. Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces.
5.2. Connect to an air supply as recommended in fig.1. The air supply must be capable of 108 to 123psi and 9cfm.
5.3. Purge hydraulic system. Before operating the press, the hydraulic system may require purging in order to eliminate any air that may have
built up during transit.
5.4. Manual Operating System: Open the release valve (33) by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle several times.
5.5. Air Operating System: Open the release valve (33) by turning anti-clockwise and connect the air valve to the air line system, operate the
air valve, allowing the pump to operate until the air has been purged. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating either of
these procedures may resolve the problem.
6. OPERATION
▲DANGER! This model is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly “give way” causing danger to operator or the
component.
6.1. Connect the air valve to the air supply.
6.2. Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready for operation.
6.3. Locate the flat pressing plates or the v-blocks on to the bed frame, push down the locating pins to ensure the plates do not slip. Place
workpiece onto the plates and position the head of the hydraulic unit on the centre of the workpiece using an appropriate extension.
NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure the plates do not fall from the bed frame.
WARNING! DO NOT apply off centre loads.
6.4. When work is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise to release the pressure and the piston and the ram head will retract
automatically. NOTE: Always keep the piston retracted after use.
6.5. Disconnect the air valve from the air supply.
7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1. When the press is not in use, the hydraulic unit ram must be fully retracted to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate the
press.

7.2. Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.3. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
7.4. Should you need to replace the oil, ensure the hydraulic unit ram is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
7.5. Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Number: HJO500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid.
7.6. Purge the system to remove any air (see 5.4).
7.7. If press efficiency begins to drop, purge the system to eliminate any air from the hydraulic system (see 5.4).
7.8. Check your model parts information for spares.
