TYPE
MODEL NO: YK15BP
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
4.0.1. Attach slings around the top cross member, using a suitable hoist or gantry lift the main frame (fig.1.15) out of the transportation crate
into an upright position.
4.0.2. Keep the main frame (fig.1.15) held safely upright. DO NOT allow to fall. Attach base sections (fig.1.11) with supports (fig.1.10) to the
left and right hand posts. Only fully tighten the securing nuts and bolts when the base sections (fig.1.11) are square to the main frame.
4.0.3. Attach the hydraulic unit (fig.1.43) to the right hand post of the main frame (fig.1.15).
4.0.4. Connect the hydraulic hose (fig.1.40) from the hydraulic unit (fig.1.43) to the union on the union seat (fig.1.36) in the top cross
member of the main frame (fig.1.15).
4.0.5. Locate the pressure gauge hole in the union seat (fig.1.36) and remove the plug with a hex key (this may be very tightly secured).
Screw the pressure gauge (fig.1.41) into the union seat (fig.1.36).
4.0.6. Hold bed frame (fig.1.6) in position with bed frame pins (fig.1.8) and secure with the safety clips (fig.1.7).
5. INSTALLATION
5.0.1. Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account
clearance for workpieces.
▲DANGER! The press is 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.
5.1. 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.
Open the release valve (fig.2) by turning anti-clockwise and pump the
handle several times. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating
this procedure may resolve the problem.
▲DANGER! The press is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than
the hydraulic unit can develop. For safety reasons, always ensure the
 workpieceissecuredonthetabletoensureloadsthatexwillnotsuddenly
“give” causing danger to operator or damage to component. Ensure you
have read and understood chapter 1 safety instructions.
5.2. SETTING THE WORKING TABLE HEIGHT
5.2.1. To set the working table at the desired height it is advisable to obtain
assistance due to the weight of the working table. Remove the pressing
plate/V-blocks from the working table then remove the safety clips and the
pins. Position the working table at the required operating height, insert the
pins into the appropriate holes in the uprights and fit safety clips.

6. OPERATION
6.2.1. Check that the release valve on the hydraulic unit is fully closed, ready for operation (fig.2).
6.2.2. Locate the flat pressing plate/V-blocks on to the working table, push down the locating pins to ensure the plates don’t slip. Place
workpiece on to the plates and position the head of the hydraulic unit over the centre of the workpiece.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure the plates don’t fall from the working table.
WARNING! DO NOT apply off-centre loads.
6.2.3. Rotate the speed control valve clockwise to the ‘Quick Without Load’ position (fig.2) to bring the ram head rapidly into contact with
the workpiece. Once the ram head has made contact with the workpiece, rotate the speed control valve anti-clockwise to the ‘Slow
With Load’ position (fig.2) for more controlled pressing with full load capacity.
Note: The ‘Quick Without Load’ setting will only operate to approximately 2tonne of load. Monitor the pressure gauge during operation to
ensure that the rated capacity of the press is not exceeded.
6.2.4. When work is complete turn the release valve anti-clockwise (fig.2) to release the pressure. The piston and the ram head will retract
automatically.
Note: Always keep the ram head retracted after use.
7. MAINTENANCE
Note: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified person. Contact your Sealey stockist for details.
7.1. Always keep the press clean, dry and lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
7.2. When not in use always store in a dry location with the ram head retracted.
7.3. Should you need to check or replace oil ensure the ram head is fully retracted. Remove the oil reservoir filler plug and top up using
Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey ref: HJO500MLS or HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid. After filling purge the system to remove any
air.
