SETTING UP THE PRESS FOR OPERATION
For shipping convenience some of the parts may not be assembled.
NOTE: The press should set on a level floor with the base angles touching the floor at all
points. Use shims where necessary.
1. Motor starter box is mounted on right side of the machine. Have a qualified electrician connect power
to motor starter. Pump can rotate in either direction.
2. Oil Requirements: Fill reservoir thru street elbow at back of press with Mobil DTE oil No. 24 or
equivalent.
Model 25 ton uses 12 quarts 3 gallon
Model 50 ton uses 12 quarts 3 gallon

Model 150 ton uses 40 quarts 10 gallon
3. Attach nose piece to ram by inserting shank into ram and tightening the set screw.
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.

The press has been completely tested at the factory and after setting up according to instructions above, the
press is ready for operation. However, it is necessary for the operator to acquaint themselves with the
controls.
1. The hand crank or ratchet on the hoist assembly is provided to raise or lower the table channels to
the proper work height. When desired height is obtained insert the table pins. The 25 ton and 50
ton models use 2 pins on each side (4 total). The 75 ton and 150 use 3 pins on each side (6 total).
After pins have been inserted, release pressure on cable by backing off with hand crank.
CAUTION : Be sure ALL table pins are in place an in as far as they can go before
pressure is applied. Be sure to slack off on the cable before pressure is applied.
