1.1 GENERAL SAFETY
Familiarise yourself with this products application and limitations, 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.

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 (39) 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 (34) by turning anti-clockwise and pump the handle (32) several times.
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 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 conguration
in position with clamps.
4.2.3 Close the release valve (34) by turning it clockwise until it is rmly closed.
4.2.4 Pump handle (32) 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.
4.2.5 Use the pump handle (33) for smaller more controlled movements and applying 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 (34)
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.
Note: Always keep the piston retracted after use.
