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.

Seek assistance of another person on assembly of heavy parts.
Assemble press, if possible, in close proximity to where the press will be located. Leave fixings loose until fully assembled then
tighten to ease assembly.
4.1. FRAME ASSEMBLY
4.1.1. With the assistance of another person start the horizontal assembly of the press on a bench, or similar.
4.1.2. Attach the base section (#20) to the upright (#15) and the base support (#14) using M12 x 35 screws (#5), M12 flat washer (#6),
M12 lock washer (#7) and M12 steel nut (#8) loosely.
4.1.3. Repeat for the other side base section (#20).
4.1.4. With the assistance of another person, place the press in an upright position and insert the pin, table support (#13) through the
uprights (#15).
4.1.5. Taking care, lift the table (#16) over the uprights and lower onto the pins, table support (#13). Insert B pins (#21).
WARNING! Take care not to allow the table to drop onto the table pins and ensure your hands and fingers are kept clear.
4.1.6. Taking care, lift the upper support upper support (#19) into position and secure using M16 x 35 hex head screws (#1), M16 flat
washers (#2) and M16 spring washers (#3) attach M16 steel nuts (#4) loosely.
4.1.7. Stand the part assembled press frame onto a flat, level floor and level the frame using a good quality level. Fully tighten all the bolts.
4.2. ATTACHING THE SUPPORT PLATE
4.2.1. Locate the Hook pin (#11) into the support plate (#18) and secure using M8 steel nuts (#12) loosely.
4.2.2. Hook the springs (#10) to the round bars on the underside of the upper support (#19).
4.2.3. Taking firm hold of the support plate (#18) tip it into a diagonal position so it can be introduced between the uprights (#15).
When level attach the hook pins (#11) to the springs (#10).
4.2.4. Adjust the length of the hook pins (#11) using the M8 steel nuts (#12) so that the support plate (#18) is parallel to the upper support
(#19).
4.3. THE HYDRAULIC UNIT
4.3.1. Insert handle (#22) into handle sleeve on the hydraulic unit (#9).
4.4. Place the arbor plates (#17) onto the table (#16).
5. INSTALLATION
5.1. SECURE THE PRESS TO THE FLOOR
WARNING! Always use the assistance of another person when moving the press.
5.1.1. Move the press to the mounting location and spot mark through fixing holes in base section (#20) onto the floor.
5.1.2. Check for any hidden wiring or cables, if needed change the location for the holes.
5.1.3. Temporarily move the press to the side.
5.1.4. Use a masonry drill bit to drill the four holes about 3” to 4” deep into the concrete or wood, as necessary.
5.1.5. Clean out the drilled holes.
5.1.6. Position the press and align the holes in the base section with the holes in the floor.
5.1.7. Use four concrete anchor bolts or lag bolts for wooden floors, (not included), to secure to the floor.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury DO NOT use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs have the problem
corrected.
5.2. BEFORE FIRST USE
5.2.1. Before operating the press, purge the hydraulic system of the hydraulic unit (#6), in order to eliminate any air that may have
accumulated during transit. Open the release valve and pump the handle several times and close the release valve. Should
the system malfunction at any time, repeating this process may resolve the problem.
▲DANGER! This model is purposefully designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons,
always ensure the work piece 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.
6.1.1. Position the table at the required operating height by inserting the pins into the appropriate holes in the frame.
6.1.2. Position the V blocks or press tools to be used onto the table and align beneath the ram. Place work piece onto the table or V blocks
and align beneath the ram as required. Note: Care must be taken to ensure a V block does not fall from the press table.
If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps (not supplied).
6.1.3. Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to or just touching the work piece. Before applying real pressure to the work piece
recheck the alignment with the ram and ensure that the work piece 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.
6.1.4. When work is complete release the pressure by fitting the handle over the release valve and turning anti-clockwise in small increments.
6.1.5. Once the hydraulic unit has been fully retracted, remove the work piece from the V blocks and the table.
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.
Use only appropriate Sealey hydraulic jack oil (Sealey Part Number: HJO500MLS/HJO5LS). DO NOT use brake fluid.
Purge the system to remove any air.
7.5. Check your model parts information for spares.
