SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
WARNING! Only operate on a level and stable surface and never use on soft ground
where the Shop press is likely to “sink” whilst in operation.
Ensure that the shop press is securely bolted to the ground before putting into service.
NEVER STAND ON THE SHOP PRESS: The Shop press is not designed for this purpose.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the Shop press, as this may be dangerous and will
invalidate the warranty.
If a problem with the Shop press is experienced or suspected stop using the Shop
press immediately and contact your distributor for repair.
Do not attempt to press a load that exceeds the rated capacity of the shop press.
Never work under the Shop press whilst in operation.
Regularly inspect, clean and lubricate the Shop press, ensuring that it is in good
working order and condition.
Always ensure that the work area is clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and
has adequate lighting.
Keep hands, limbs etc. clear of moving parts during operation of the ram.
DO NOT top-up the Shop press with brake fluid, or other oil types; use hydraulic oil
only.
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valves.
Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions beneath the Shop press whilst its in
operation.
Clean the Shop press correctly, with the ram in the retracted position, DO NOT leave
it extended.
Failure to follow the warnings in this manual, may result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
Prior to applying the load, be sure that the hydraulic ram collar threads are fully en-
gaged to the head assembly.
Components of this Shop press are specially designed to withstand the rated ca-
pacity. Do not substitute bolts, pins, or any other components.
Always press the load on the centre of the ram. Offset loads can damage the ram,
and may cause a workpiece to eject.
Before operating, check for signs of cracked welds, bent bed support pins, loose or
missing bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these condi-
tions exist. Have repairs made only by authorised service centre.
Remove all loads and arbor plates from the bed before attempting to adjust the
bed height.
Press only on the workpiece supported by the bed and arbor plates.
When using accessories, such as arbor plates, be sure that they are centered on
the bed, and are in full contact with the bed.
Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter or eject from the press. Due to various ap-
plications, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards, such as eye pro-
tection and heavy protective clothing, when operating this Shop press.
Do not stand in front of work area where the load is applied.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
FITTING THE WINCH
Move the hand winch (12) to the outside of the post, then use bolts (02), wash-
ers (06), lock washers (05), and nuts (04) to secure it in place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the bed to your desired height; Turn the winch clockwise to raise the bed
and anti clockwise to lower.
Use the bed support pin (x4) and bed support pin clips (x8) to secure in place.
Place the arbor plate on the bed, then place the workpiece onto the arbor
plate.
Danger / Caution: At all times use all 8 bed support pin clips to secure the bed support
pins, using without the bed support pin clips is dangerous, this could cause injury to you
or any one in the vicinity, this will also damage the Shop press and void your warranty.
Turn the release valve clockwise to close it.
Open the air vent / oil fill screw on top of the pump.
Connect the air supply to the air valve inlet connection on the foot pedal, press
the foot pedal down and the ram will start too move (use the pump handle if
no air supply is available).
Once the serrated saddle is near the workpiece take your foot off the pedal (or
stop pumping the handle).
Align the workpiece and ram to ensure centre loading.
Press the foot pedal down again (or pump the handle) to start the pressing.
Once the work is done take your foot from the foot pedal (or stop pumping the
handle).
Turn the release valve anti-clockwise to retract the ram.
When the ram has fully retracted, remove the workpiece.
If no more work is to be done, then disconnect from the air supply and retight-
en the release valve and air vent / oil fill screw.

MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the press frame to make sure all bolts are tight and inspect
for cracked welds, bent, loose, or missing parts.
Periodically check hydraulic connections for possible leaks, replace or properly
repair damaged or leaking hydraulic components before use.
Change hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system every 100 working hours, or more
frequently in unusual dirty or dusty areas.
If the paint becomes badly chipped, it is suggested to repaint the press. This will
prevent rusting.
Always ensure that ram is in the fully retracted position if the press is not used for
extended periods.
Make sure the ram is fully retracted.
Remove the air vent / oil fill screw.
Fill with hydraulic oil (#22 ISO6743) through the oil fill hole, until the oil reaches the
top of the oil chamber.
Refit the air vent / oil fill screw.
ADDING OIL
BLEEDING
Loosen the air vent / oil fill screw.
Insert the handle into the handle base.
Pump the handle about 10 times, this will purge the air out of the system.
retighten the air screw.
CLEANING
Periodically check the ram and ram piston for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as
needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.
