WArnInG: Projectile hazard! Ensure that workpiece is centerloaded and secure. Reduce risk of flying debris
by carefully following all operating instructions. Know your press and hazards associated with its use.
WArnInG: Risk of serious eye injury from projected or blown debris. Wear safety goggles when working
with or around press.
CAUTIOn: Hose material or seals must not come in contact with corrosive materials such as battery acid,
creosote-impregnated objects and wet paint. Never paint a coupler or hose. Do not subject hose to sharp
objects or heavy impact.
Refer to cylinder and pump manual for detailed operating instruction.
1. Insert the support pins to desired height, then lower the bed frame using the winch until the cable is slack and
the bed frame is resting fully on the support pins.
2. Place arbor plates on the bed frame (optional).
3. Place workpiece on bed frame, using every precaution necessary to ensure your safety and prevent property
damage.
4. Operating the pump:
a) For Model IMP2506, IMP2514 & IMPD2506 (manual): Close the release valve by turning it clockwise, and
pump the handle to extend the cylinder ram. To retract, simply open the release valve of pump.
b) For Model IAP2506 & IAP2514 (air): Connect to suitable air supply, press on the foot pedal to extend the
cylinder ram. To retract, simply press the release valve by stepping on the raised, stirrup shaped portion of
the foot pedal.
c) For Model IEPD2506, IEP2514 & IEPS2514 (electric): Engage ON/OFF switch to start electric pump and let
idle for several minutes before operating cylinder. Use control knob to extend cylinder ram.
nOTICE: Never operate pump with hose disconnected from cylinder. Operation in this condition causes hoses to
pressurize, increasing burst hazard. To protect cylinder, do not operate pump after ram is fully extended.
nOTICE: The power retract feature of the IMPD2506 and IEPD2506 Shop Presses is not intended to be used
under load. Never pull or raise a workpiece with the power retract feature.
5. Apply load to workpiece. Do not overload.
6. Stabilize workpiece to prevent it from falling from the bed once load is removed.
7. Once cylinder has fully retracted, remove workpiece.
MAInTEnAnCE
Refer to cylinder and pump manuals for maintenance and instructions for adding/changing hydraulic fluid. For best
results, change fluid once per year. Use only premium hydraulic oil or equivalent for manual and air pumps, premium
hydraulic oil or equivalent for electric pump is recommended.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure assemblies
move freely.
Storage
Depressurize the hydraulic system, disconnect the hydraulic hose and lower the bed frame to lowest position.
Disconnect both hoses on the IMPD2506 and the IEPD2506.
