3. ASSEMBLY
Unpack the product and check contents. If there are any damaged or
missing parts contact your supplier immediately. Take care to ensure
safety when removing main frame parts from packing as the unit is
very heavy. We recommend that the press should be assembled by
two people.
3.1. Use the assembly diagram overleaf as your guide. Lay all
parts and assemblies out before beginning. The following
procedure is recommended:
3.2. Attach one base leg (01) and lower cross member (08) to left
post (09) using bolts (03), washers (04), lock washers (05)
and nuts (06) to secure, then repeat with the other base
leg (01), attaching it to right post (09) and the lower cross
member (08). Make sure that the joining plates on the two
posts are facing outwards.
3.3 Place the assembly in an upright position and attach two
diagonal braces (02) to each base leg and post using bolts
(03), washers (04), lock washers (05) and nuts (06).
3.4. Attach the upper cross beam (20) to the left and right posts
(09) using bolts (16), washers (17), lock washers (18) and
nuts (19). Place the bolt heads on the inside of the frame.
3.5. Bolt the ram (15) to the underside of the plate welded into the
centre of the cross beam using four M10 hex socket cap
bolts with washers (04), lock washers (05) and nuts (06).
Ensure that the ram goes on the right way round so that the
pressure gauge mounting tube protrudes through the hole in
the plate.
3.6. Insert the nylon sealing ring (22) into the internal thread of
the fitting on the mounting tube and screw the pressure
gauge (23) into the fitting. Before tightening the fitting make
sure that the gauge is facing in the best direction for viewing
during operation.
3.7. Take note of which side the ram inlet port is facing and mount
the pump assembly (26) onto the adjacent post using the
upper two joining plates. Fix in position using four M10 x 20
bolts (25) washers (04) and lock washers (05). The pumping
handle should be at the base of the pump.
3.8. Connect the hydraulic hose (24) to the ram inlet port.
3.9. To mount the work table first slide a frame pin (10) through
each post ensuring they are both at the same height.
#Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and hazards
of the press.
#Maintain the press in good condition (use an authorised service
agent).
#Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
#Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
#Locate the press in a suitable work area, on a surface that is
stable, level, dry, not slippery, and capable of sustaining the load.
Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and
ensure there is adequate lighting.
$WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when
operating the press.
#Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other
loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
#Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the press.
#Maintain correct balance and footing. Do not over reach. Ensure
the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
#Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
%DO NOT use the press for a task it is not designed to perform.
%DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve, or make any
modifications to the press.
%DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press. Avoid applying
excessive force, use the pressure gauge to determine the
applied load.
%DO NOT apply off-centre loads. Ensure that workpiece is centrally
loaded and correctly secured before operating the press.
%DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the
press work bench.
%DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or
areas where there is condensation.
%DO NOT operate the press when you are tired or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
%DO NOT climb upon the press.
%DO NOT use if bent, broken, cracked, leaking or otherwise
damaged, or if press has been subjected to a shock load.
%DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may
cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
%DO NOT use the press to compress a spring or any other item
that could disengage and cause a hazard.
%DO NOT stand directly in front of loaded press and never leave
loaded press unattended.
%DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the press.
$WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than
a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK
OIL, as this may cause serious damage to the press and
will invalidate the warranty!
#When not in use, release pressure from the pump and clean the
press. Stand or store the support blocks in a safe location.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR :
30 TON HYDRAULIC FLOOR PRESS
MODEL :YK30F
YK30F.- 1 - 140607
2.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Sealey heavy-duty floor hydraulic presses are ideal for a variety
of workshop applications and are particularly suited to
agricultural or industrial use. Jobs such as straightening,
bending, folding, punching, pressing etc. are some of the tasks
that may be accomplished with this press. Fitted with a pressure
gauge and supplied with work table arbors. Detachable pump
and ram allowing hydraulics to be used for other purposes when
press is not in use.

3.10. Lift the work table, turn it diagonally so that it can be placed
in the space between the posts. Rotate the bed back to the
horizontal so that the ends are either side of each post and
lower the bed onto the two frame pins.
3.11. Insert the pumping handle (27) into the socket at the base of
the pump (26).

4. INSTALLATION & OPERATING
4.1. INSTALLATION.
4.1.1. Securely fix the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into
account clearance for workpieces.
4.1.2. 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 (R) by turning it anti-clockwise and
pump the handle several times to eliminate any air in the
system, then close release valve. Note: Should the system
malfunction at any time, repeating this process may resolve
the problem.
!
! DANGER! 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.
4.2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
4.2.1. Position the work table at the required operating height by
inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the
main frame.
4.2.2. Place the support blocks (12) onto work table (11), then
place the workpiece onto the support blocks and align
beneath the ram as required. Note: care must be taken to
ensure a support block does not fall from the press work table.
If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps.
4.2.3. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it is firmly
closed.
4.2.4. Pump the handle slowly until the ram is close to, or just
touching, the workpiece. 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.
4.2.5. Pump the handle to apply load onto workpiece.
4.2.6. When work is done, stop pumping the handle. Slowly and
carefully free load from workpiece by turning the release valve
anti-clockwise in small increments. Note: Always keep the
piston retracted after use to avoid ram corrosion.
4.2.7. Once ram has fully retracted, remove workpiece from work
table.
5.3. Before checking the oil level make sure the ram is fully
retracted. Remove the oil filler plug (hex) (F) from the top of the
pump.The oil level should be just below the bottom of the filler
hole.If it needs filling, use only Sealey hydraulic jack oil. (DO
NOT use brake fluid. Contact your local Sealey dealer for
details). Replace oil filler nut and purge system of air (see 4.1.2.).
5.4. When replacing the hydraulic oil, ensure the piston is fully
retracted.
5.5. If press efficiency begins to drop, purge the system to eliminate
any air from the hydraulic system (see 4.1.2.).
5.6. When not in use, store the press in a dry, childproof location
with the ram and piston fully retracted.
Note: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualified
person. Contact your Sealey dealer for details.
5.1. Periodically lubricate all joints and moving parts.
5.2. Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh
conditions.
