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 a suitable work area, on a surface that is
stable, level, dry, not slippery, and capable of sustaining the load.
9Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and
ensure there is adequate lighting.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when
operating the press.
9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other
loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
9Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the
press.
9Maintain correct balance and footing. DO NOT over reach. Ensure
the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working
area.
8DO NOT use the press for a task it is not designed to perform.
8DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve, or make any modifications to the press.
8DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press. Avoid applying excessive force, use the pressure gauge to determine the applied load.
8DO NOT apply off-centre loads. Ensure that workpiece is centrally loaded and correctly secured before operating the press.
8DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the press work bench.
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 if bent, broken, cracked, leaking or otherwise damaged, or if press has been subjected to a shock load.
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 to compress a spring or any other item that could disengage and cause a potential hazard.
8DO NOT stand directly in front of loaded press and never leave loaded press unattended.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the press.
▲DANGER! This model is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic unit 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 workpiece.
WARNING! DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL, as this
may cause serious damage to the press and will invalidate the warranty.
9When not in use, release pressure from the pump and clean the press. Stand or store the arbors in a safe, childproof location.
2. INTRODUCTION
Manufactured in Europe, a Professional range of oor and bench mount presses, ranging from 15tonne to 50tonne. Hydraulic elements are
mounted in the frame to maximise workspace and protect components. Floor models incorporate a fast approach feature (foot pedal or handle
operated depending on model). Model No’s PPF301 and PPF501 are air/hydraulic and fully operated by foot pedal to keep hands free for ne
positioning of the workpiece. Storage for press pins included in frame (pins not included on Model No’s PPB15, PPF20 and PPF30). Suitable

4. ASSEMBLY
 WARNING! these presses are heavy, the use of a lifting appliance is recommended.
4.1. FITTING THE FEET
4.1.1. Attach the permanent press feet (gs.1 & 2).
4.1.2. It is recommended that, for safest operation, the press is secured to the oor using
the xing holes in the feet.
4.2. FITTING THE PUMP HANDLES
4.2.1. The press is supplied with the pump handles disconnected, to save damage in
transit (g.3).
4.2.2. Cut the plastic ties to release the pump handles (g.4).
4.2.3. Fix pump handle by means of screw, guide bush and nut (g.5).
4.2.4. Fit the long pump handle into the socket of high speed pump (g.6).
5. OPERATION
5.1. BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
5.1.1. Before rst use, any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit will need to be bled.
5.1.2. To do this: open the release valve and pump both pumps 10 times.
5.1.3. Close the release valve and pump a further 10 times. The ram should
extend.
5.1.4. Open the release valve again; the ram should retract.
5.1.5. If the hydraulic circuit still appears sluggish, repeat the process.
5.2. USING THE PRESS
5.2.1. Insert the saddle into the ram head and secure with the grub screw (g.7).
5.2.2. Lift or lower the table to the required height and insert the pins to support it.
5.2.3. Place the arbor plate on the press bed frame, then place workpiece onto the
arbor plate and align beneath the ram as required.
NOTE: care must be taken to ensure an arbor does not fall from the press
work table. If necessary, fix in position.
5.2.4. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise fully.
5.2.5. Pump with the high speed pump until the saddle is close to the workpiece.
5.2.6. Use the low speed pump to perform the pressing operation, monitoring the
pressure via the pressure gauge. Using this pump allows greater control and
feel.
5.2.7. When the operation is finished, release the pressure gradually by opening
the release valve slowly.
5.2.8. When the ram has retracted fully, remove the work from the table.
5.2.9. When the press is not in use, ensure that the ram is retracted fully to help
avoid corrosion.

6.3. To check hydraulic oil level, open the left hand top cover, and unscrew the oil filler screw
(fig.8). If oil needs replacing, use only Sealey hydraulic jack oil. DO NOT use brake
fluid. Contact your local Sealey stockist for details). Replace oil filler screw and purge
system of air.
6.4. When replacing the hydraulic oil, ensure the piston is fully retracted.
6.5. If press efficiency begins to drop, purge the system to eliminate any air from the
hydraulic system (see 5.1.).
6.6. When not in use, clean the press with a damp, soapy cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or
solvent cleaners.
