ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
The TradeQuip Hydraulic Workshop Press is a heavy duty hydraulic press. It is ideal for a variety of workshop applications and
in particular suited to automotive, agricultural or industrial use.
Jobs such as straightening, bending, folding, punching, removing bolts and bearings etc are some of tasks that may be
accomplished by your Hydraulic Workshop Press.
2. ASSEMBLY
Unpacking: after removing the packing material, make sure the product is in perfect condition and that there are no visible
damaged parts. The packaging materials (Polyethylene bags, polystyrene etc.), must be disposed of in an appropriate refuse
collection container. These materials must not be left within the reach of children as they are potential sources of danger.
Identify and lay out parts. Bolt the cross legs to the bottom of the main frames.
Bolt the upper crossbeams to the head of the main frames. Note. If your model has a top and bottom plate which attach
to either side of the frame head, screw the nuts finger tight only at this stage.
Attach the hydraulic ram and pump (according to model) should your model have a separate jack plate, check side of
main frame to locate assembly holes. If you have a choice of left or right attachment, assemble the plate according to
your operational requirement.
Attach the ram unit to the mounting plate or to the appropriate attachment bars incorporated in the main frame using
the bolts provided.
Insert the press platform support pins through the holes in the main frame. Taking firm hold of the platform, tip it into a
diagonal position so that it can be introduced between the mainframe uprights and carefully lower it back to a horizontal
position to rest on the support pins.
WARNING! Take care not to allow the press plate to drop onto the pins and ensure your hands and fingers are clear of the
press plate when lowering.
3. BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection by checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Installation
Securely attach the press to a flat, firm, level surface taking into account clearance for working pieces.
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 and pump the handle several times and close the release valve. Should the system malfunction at any time, repeating
this process may resolve the problem.
DANGER!
Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. 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 safety instructions.
& operating
4. OPERATION
Check that the hydraulic unit is fully closed ready for operating.
Position the bed frame at the required operating height by inserting the support pins into the appropriate holes in the main frame.
Position the heel blocks or press tools to be used onto the bed frame and align beneath the ram. Place workpiece onto the bed frame
or heel blocks and align beneath the ram as required. Note: Care must be taken to ensure a heel block does not fall from the press bed
frame. If necessary hold the configuration in position with clamps.
Operate the pump slowly until the ram is close to or just touching the workpiece.
Before applying real 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 to breaking point. DO NOT exceed the stroke indicated on the label or the mark on the
piston and do not apply off centre loads.
When work is complete release the pressure using the release valve and the piston and the ram head will retract automatically.
Note: Always keep the piston retracted after use to avoid corrosion
5. STORAGE
This Hydraulic Workshop Press should always be stored in a dry location with the ram and piston fully retracted on a level surface.

6. MAINTENANCE
Check all fittings are tight before each use.
Lubricate all joints and moving parts with light oil at regular intervals.
Always keep the press clean, dry, and protected from harsh conditions.
Regularly check the hydraulic oil level by removing the oil filler nut on top of the reservoir. Should you need to top up or replace the
oil ensure you use good quality hydraulic jack oil. Then replace and tighten the oil filler nut. NOTE an excess of oil will render the press
inoperative.
Use only appropriate good quality hydraulic jack oil. DO NOT use brake fluid. Contact your local distributor for details.
Always purge the system to remove any air.
