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.
2. i INTRODUCTION
This hydraulic press is ideal for a variety of workshop applications and is particularly suited to agricultural or industrial use. Jobs
such as straightening, bending, folding, punching, removing bolts and bearings etc are some of the tasks that may be accomplished by
your press. Supplied with a work table arbor.
▲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.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1. Unpack the product and check contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately. Take care to
ensure safety when removing uprights from packing as the units are very heavy.
4.2. Use the parts diagram as your guide to assembly. Lay all parts and assemblies out before beginning. The following procedure is
recommended:
4.3. Identify and lay out parts. Bolt the cross legs to the bottom of the pre-assembled main frame.
4.4. Bolt the ram supporting plate or plates to the head of the main frame. NOTE. If your model has a top and bottom plate which attach to
either side of the frame head, screw the nuts finger tight only at this stage.
4.5. Remove the plastic protection ring from the ram thread and apply a suitable thread locking compound, screw the ram into the support
plate until it is tight, thread the locking ring onto the ram on the lower side of the support plate and tighten.
4.6. Attach the pump according to model:
4.7. Should your model have a separate pump assembly plate, check side of main frame to locate assembly holes. If you have a choice
of left or right attachment, assemble the plate according to your operational requirement.
4.8. Attach the pump to the pump plate or to the appropriate attachment bars incorporated in the main frame using the bolts provided.
4.9. The pump can be stowed on the side of the main frame when not in use by hanging it on the hook provided.
4.10. Remove the plastic safety bung from the end of the pump hose and connect the hose to the ram inlet valve.
4.11. Insert the work table support pins through the holes in the main frame. Taking firm hold of the table, tip it into a diagonal position so
hat it can be introduced between the mainframe uprights and carefully lower it back to a horizontal position to rest on the support
pins.
 WARNING! Take care not to allow the working table to drop onto the pins and ensure your hands and fingers are clear of the
working table when lowering. OPERATION
5. INSTALLATION.
5.1. Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces. Should you wish to mount a bench
press on a workbench or surface, ensure the bench is flat and level and is strong enough to support the press and any workpiece during
operation.
5.2. Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system in order to eliminate any air that may have built up during transit. Open the
release valve and pump the handle several times. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this process may resolve the
problem.
▲ DANGER! Models are 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. Also ensure you have read and understood section 1 safety instructions.
6. OPERATION
6.1. Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed ready for operating.
6.2. Position the working table at the required operating height by inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the main frame.
6.3. Screw the required adaptor to the ram and if required identify the matching cutout on the arbor plate to be used.
6.4. Position the arbor plate or press tools to be used onto the work table and align beneath the ram. Place workpiece onto the work table
or arbors 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 hold the configuration in position with clamps.
6.5. Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to or just touching the workpiece. Before applying real pressure to the workpiece
recheck the alignment with the ram and ensure that the workpiece and press tools are supported in such a way that they cannot flex to
breaking point. DO NOT exceed the stroke indicated on the label or the red mark on the piston and DO NOT apply off centre loads.
6.6. When work is complete release the pressure using the knob with four lugs and the piston and the ram head will retract automatically.
NOTE: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion.
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.
7.7. Check your model parts information for spares.
