Rust Prevention:
-Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load on the equipment extended hydraulic rams to check if signs of rust are visible clean as
Needed.
How the Ram Operates
With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the
Plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A
Downward stroke of the handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This extends the
ram. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an
Over extended ram stroke and possible damage to the ram. Opening the release valve allows oil to flow
Back into reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the ram.
Storing the Ram
1.Fully Retract Ram after use.
2.Place the handle in the middle.
3.Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: lf the press is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the
Press stays in good working condition.
