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 base section (21) to left frame post (20) and lower cross member (26) using bolts (25), washers (22), lock washers (23) and
nuts (24). Attach two diagonal supports (60) between the post and base section using bolts (25), washers (22), lock washers (23) and
nuts (24).
4.4. Attach the other base section (21) and the right frame post (20) to the lower cross member (26). Attach two diagonal supports (60)
between the right post and base section using bolts (25), washers (22), lock washers (23) and nuts (24).
4.5. Put the press frame in an upright position, attach one upper crossbeam (10) to left and right posts (20) using bolts (9), washers (13),
lock washers (12) and nuts (11).
4.6. Hook the under plate (7) onto the first cross beam and slide the other cross beam sideways through the other hooks until it is in
position in front of the posts. Attach to the posts with bolts (9), washers (13), lock washers (12) and nuts (11).
4.7. Screw the upper round nut (6) onto the ram (3), insert the ram into the hole in the under plate (7), then screw the lower round nut (8)
onto the ram and attach the serrated saddle (5) to the ram.
4.8. Place the two halves of the press bed frame (18) back to back. Move them apart until the space between them is the same as the
length of the four spacers (28). Align each spacer with the holes in the bed halves and insert a bolt (27) through both frames and the
spacer. Secure the four bolts by using the washers (14), lock washers (15) and nuts (16).
4.9. Insert bed frame pins (19) into the holes in the posts at the same level. Hold the assembled bed frame diagonally between the posts.
Turn it horizontal so that the ends are in contact with the posts and lower it onto the pins.
4.10. Attach the pump and air motor assemblies to the right post using bolts (29) and washers (14). Ensure that the air motor is below the
pump. Insert the pumping handle (48) into the handle bracket (38).
4.11. Connect the hydraulic hose fitting (57) to the connection nut (58) and assemble the pressure gauge (1) to the pressure gauge
connection nut and nylon ring (59) (2) which is on the top of the ram (3).
4.12. 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 any clearance required for workpieces.

nears workpiece.
6.4. Align workpiece and ram to ensure centre-loading. Before applying any 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.
WARNING! DO NOT apply off centre loads.
6.5. Turn on the air valve or pump the handle to apply load onto workpiece.
6.6. When work is done, turn off the air valve (or stop pumping handle), slowly and carefully remove load from workpiece by turning the
release valve counter-clockwise in small increments.
6.7. Once ram has fully retracted, remove workpiece from the press bed frame.
6.8. Disconnect the air inlet fitting from the air source.
NOTE: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid ram 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
