as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the press.
 Maintain the press in good condition (use an authorised service
agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only.
Non authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
Locate the press in a suitable working area for its function, keep
area clean, tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure there
is adequate lighting.
Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the
press.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when
operating the press.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, loose
jewellery and contain long hair.
Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the
press.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not
slippery and wear non slip steel toe-capped shoes/boots.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working
area.
 DO NOT operate the press if any parts are missing as this may
cause failure or possible personal injury.
 DO NOT use to compress springs or any other item that could
disengage and cause a potential hazard.
 DO NOT stand directly in front of the loaded press and never
leave a loaded press unattended.
 DO NOT force the press to achieve a task it was not designed
to perform.
 DO NOT make any modifications to the press.
 DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve.
 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press.
 DO NOT apply off centre loads.
 DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the
press working 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, under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
When not in use release pressure from the pump and clean the
press. Stand or store the arbors in a safe location.
 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.

3.1 YK30F.V2 30Tonne PRESS ASSEMBLY (use the exploded diagram (Fig.1) as a guide to assembly).
Remove all components from the plywood packaging and ensure that anything stowed within the main frame is removed
before the frame is raised vertical. The base sections (feet) and supports must be attached before the frame is raised vertical.
3.1.1 Attach a base section (05) to both posts and lower cross member (07) using bolts (08), washers (02), lock washers (03) and nuts (04).
Attach two supports (06) diagonally to each of the post and base sections. Use bolts (01), washers (02), lock washers (03) and
nuts (04) at each end of the supports. See inset fig.2.
3.1.2 Lifting from the upper cross members end, lift the press into an upright position.
WARNING! Ensure help is available and use slings and a suitable hoist or gantry to raise the press to an upright position.
3.1.3 Insert the lower two bed frame pins (09) at the level required into the holes in each of the posts, ensuring that they are both on the
same level. With the help of an assistant insert the bed frame (11) into the press frame and rest it onto the pins. Attach a circlip (10) to
each end of each lower pin. Insert the two upper pins (09) through both the bed frame and the posts and attach a circlip (10) to each
end of each upper pin.
3.1.4 Within the right hand end of the upper cross members is a platform to which the pump assembly (32) should be attached using three
bolts (18) and three washers (02). See inset fig.4.
3.1.5 Bolt the gauge fitting (22) to the upper cross member using a nut (24). Screw the pressure gauge (13) onto the fitting ensuring you
include the nylon sealing ring (23). Attached to the pump is a hydraulic hose which should be connected to the back of the gauge. See
inset fig.3.
3.1.6 The sliding ram assembly is factory mounted to the upper cross members. The hydraulic hose (27) is already attached to the ram.
Connect the free end (A) to the union on the pump (also labelled 'A' on the diagram below).
3.1.7 Slide the two handles (28 & 17) into their respective sockets and retain in place with bolts (31).
3.1.8 Place the two heel blocks (12) onto the bed frame (11).

Note: Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by qualied 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.
5.3 Before checking the oil level make sure the ram is fully retracted. Remove the oil ller plug (30) from the top of the pump. The oil level
should be just below the bottom of the ller hole. If it needs lling, use only Sealey hydraulic jack oil. (DO NOT use brake uid. Contact
your local Sealey dealer for details). Replace oil ller 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 efciency 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.

De-commissioning Product
Should the product become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the
product and the oil according to local regulations.
4.1 INSTALLATION.
4.1.1 Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces.
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.
4.1.2 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 (33) by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle (28) several times. Close release valve.
Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating this procedure may resolve the problem.
DANGER! Press is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece is secured on the table to ensure loads that flex will not suddenly “give” causing danger to operator or damage to
component. Ensure you have read and understood chapter 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 heel blocks (12) onto bed frame (11), then place the workpiece onto the heel 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 conguration
in position with clamps.
4.2.3 Fully open the pump vent valve within the oil ller nut and leave open for normal operation. (See g.5).
4.2.4 Close the release valve (33) by turning it clockwise until it is rmly closed.
4.2.5 Pump handle (28) to quickly bring the ram into position on 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 ex.
 WARNING! DO NOT apply off centre loads.
4.2.6 Use the pump handle (17) for smaller more controlled movements and applying load onto workpiece.
4.2.7 When work is done, stop pumping the handle. Slowly and carefully free load from workpiece by turning the release valve (33)
anti-clockwise in small increments. Note: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid ram corrosion.
4.2.8 Once ram has fully retracted, remove workpiece from work table.
