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: DO NOT top up hydraulic unit with brake fluid, or any other fluid other than a good quality hydraulic oil (Sealey Part

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. Attach one of the feet (17) to one of the upright sections (5) and to the base support (16) using M12x30 bolts (15), flat washers
(3), and nuts (4) to secure the parts. Repeat with the other foot (17), attaching it to the remaining upright section (5) and to the base
support (16). The bolts should not be fully tightened.
4.4. Attach the braces (21) to the feet (17) and to the uprights (5) using M12x30 bolts (15), washers (3) and nuts (4). The bolts should
not be fully tightened.
4.5. Place the press in an upright position and attach the upper support (1) using the M12x120 bolts (2), nuts (4), and washers (3)
to the upright sections. The bolts should not be fully tightened.
4.6. Check the assembly is squared, centred and correctly aligned. Fully tighten all the bolts.
4.7. Install the hook pins (8) onto the support plate (9) using the M8 Nuts (11) and washers (10).
4.8. Affix the springs (6) to the loops on the upper support (1) and to the hook pins (8) on the support plate (9). Adjust the length of the
hook pins (8) using the M8 nuts (11) so that the support plate (9) is parallel to the upper support (1).
4.9. Insert the support pins (13) into the uprights (5) so that they are directly opposite each other, and place the table (14) onto the
support pins (13).
4.10. Attach the hydraulic unit (7) to the support plate (9) using the M8x16 bolts (18). Ensure that the saddle of the hydraulic unit locates
securely into the aperture on the upper support (1).
4.11. Place the arbor plates (12) onto the table (14).
5. OPERATION
5.1. INSTALLATION.
5.1.1. Securely 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.
5.1.2. Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system of the hydraulic unit (7), in order to eliminate any air that may have
accumulated during transit. Fit handle (19) over the release valve and turn anti-clockwise to open valve (fig.1). Insert handle into handle
sleeve and pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication and to bleed air from the system. Fit handle back over the release valve and
turn clockwise to close (fig.1).
▲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. Also ensure you have read and understood chapter 1 safety instructions.
5.2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
5.2.1. Position the table at the required operating height by inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the uprights.
5.2.2. Place the arbor plates onto the table, then place workpiece onto the arbor plates and align beneath the support plate as required. NOTE:
care must be taken to ensure that the arbor plates do not fall from the table. If necessary hold the configuration in position with
clamps.
5.2.3. If required, rotate the hydraulic unit screw extension anti-clockwise until the support plate is closer to the workpiece. Check that the
workpiece is centred in relation to the support plate.
5.2.4. Fit handle over release valve and rotate clockwise to close valve (fig.1).
5.2.5. Place handle into handle sleeve and pump handle to apply load to the workpiece.
5.2.6. When work is done, stop pumping the handle. Slowly and carefully free load from workpiece by fitting the handle over the release
valve and turning anti-clockwise in small increments (fig.1). NOTE: Always keep the hydraulic unit fully retracted after use to avoid ram
corrosion.
5.2.7. If necessary, rotate the hydraulic unit screw extension clockwise to allow space for the workpiece to be removed.
5.2.8. Once the hydraulic unit has been fully retracted, remove the workpiece from the arbor plates and the table.
6. MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
6.1. 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.
6.2. Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
6.3. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
6.4. Should you need to replace the oil, ensure the hydraulic unit ram is fully retracted. An excess of oil will render the press inoperative.
6.5. Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Number: HJO500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid.
6.6. Purge the system to remove any air.
6.7. Check your model parts information for spares.
