SETTING UP THE PRESS FOR OPERATION
For shipping convenience, some of the parts are not assembled. Assemble these parts in the following order:
1. Bolt the base angles to uprights using four bolts and nuts, which are provided. Make sure base
angles are against stops on uprights.
NOTE: The press should set on a level floor with the base angles touching the floor at all
points. Use shims where necessary.
2. Connect airline into street elbow (Item No. 136) at right hand side of control block.
NOTE: Avoid restrictions in air supply line to insure ample air-to-air motor. To ensure
maximum performance the air supply line should be ½” pipe line if the distance from the
compressor to press is 0-30 feet, ¾” line 30-60 feet, and 1” if greater than 60 feet.
NOTE: AIR MUST BE MOISTURE FREE. WATER IN AIR LINE WILL CORRODE THIS PRESS
BEYOND REPAIR.
3. Oil Requirements: Fill reservoir with Mobil DTE 24 or equivalent oil thru pipeline in back of press at
pipe coupling by removing pipe plug. NOTE: Make sure the air-source is removed from the
reservoir prior to removal of plug. Oil level may be checked (with ram up) by removing the
pipe plug on the right side of reservoir near the front. Replace plug before operating the press.
Model 6-225 & 6-425 25-ton presses use 6 quarts
Model 6-250 & 6-450 50-ton presses use 8 quarts
Model 6-275 & 6-475 75-ton presses use 10 quarts
Model 6-650 & 6-850 150-ton presses use 20 quarts.
4. Attach nose piece to ram by inserting shank into ram and tightening the set screw.
5. CAUTION! Place the hoist crank on the lift drum shaft. Turn the hoist crank to relieve
the pressure on the table pins. Keeping tension on the hoist crank, remove the table pins one
at a time. After removing the tables pins, turn the crank running the table channels from top to
bottom. Check to make sure the cable is tracking correctly. The cable should be on each of
the two upper pulleys and should track back and forth on the cable drum. Always place table
pins under the table channels before releasing the hoist crank when positioning the table
channels for cable tracking, servicing, or set-up for desired work opening. If a tracking
problem exists, contact the Dake factory for instructions. Be sure all table pins are fully
inserted in place before applying pressure. Always remove or release pressure on the cable
before pressure is applied.
