OPERATIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before the first use, check for proper hydraulic oil level in the system.
Then thoroughly test the hydraulic ram for proper operation prior to its
actual use.
1.
Purge air from the hydraulic system. See Bleeding the Hydraulic
System in the Maintenance section.
2.
Test the shop press without a workpiece to ensure all parts work
smoothly. Test again with a load. Gradually increase pressure and
watch that the workload does not shift and there is no distortion or
deflection of the ram, leakage from the pump assembly or shifting
of the frame. A qualified technician should examine and repair any
problems with the pump itself.
PRESSURE DROP
Apply the air consumption and pressure rate numbers to the tool's
air inlet, not the compressor's outlet. Calculate the pressure drop for
your air supply set-up and increase the compressor outlet pressure to
compensate. Make sure you do not exceed the maximum pressure for
any part of your air supply system.
Installing a pressure gauge at the tool inlet is the best way to measure
the air pressure and adjust the compressor's output.
OPERATING THE PRESS
IMPORTANT! Ensure that you read, understand and apply
the safety instructions and warnings before use.
Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool's coupler plug
before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will
not work properly without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.
1.
Lift or lower the bed frame (#34) until it is in position. Insert a bed
frame pin (#36) into the left and right posts beneath the bed frame.
Lower the bed frame so it rests on the bed frame pins.
