OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the heel block on the press bed frame, then insert the work
piece onto the heel block.
Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it is firmly closed.
Pump the handle until the serrated saddle nears the work piece.
Align the work piece and ram to ensure centre-loading.
Pump the handle to apply load onto the work piece.
When work is complete, stop pumping the handle, slowly and care-
fully remove the load from the work piece by turning the release
valve anti-clockwise in small increments.
Once the ram has fully retracted remove the work piece from the
bed frame.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the outside of the press with a dry, clean and soft cloth and
periodically lubricate the joints and all moving parts with a light oil.
When not in use store the press in a dry location with the ram and
piston fully retracted.
If press efficiency drops purge air from the hydraulic system as
above.
Check the hydraulic oil; remove the oil filler nut on the top of the
reservoir and if the oil level is not adequate fill with high quality
hydraulic oil as necessary. Then replace the oil filler nut and purge air
from the system.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the press needs repairing and/or there are any parts that need to
be replaced, have it repaired by authorised SGS technicians only.
SYSTEM AIR PURGE
1. Open the release valve by turning it anti-clockwise.
2. Pump several full strokes to eliminate any air from the system.
3. Close the release valve
