3. ASSEMBLY
3.1. Unpack the product and check the contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts, contact your supplier immediately. Take
care to ensure safety when removing main frame from its packing, as the unit is very heavy.
3.2. Use the parts diagram as your guide to assembly. Lay all parts and assemblies out before beginning assembly. The following
procedure is recommended.
3.3. Attach one base section (21) to the left post (20) and lower support (26), using bolts (25), washers (22), spring washers (23) and
nuts (24) to secure, then repeat with the other base section (21), attaching it to the right post (20) and the lower support (26).
3.4. Place the press frame in an upright position, attach one upper cross beam (10) to left and right posts (20) using bolts (9), washers
(13), lock washers (12) and nuts (11).
3.5. Place the other upper cross beam (10) in position and insert the under plate (7) to the two upper cross beams at the same time,
then secure this cross beam to the posts using bolts (9), washers (13), lock washers (12) and nuts (11).
3.6. Screw the upper round nut (6) onto the ram (3), insert the ram into the hole in the under plate (7), then screw the nut (8) onto the ram
and attach the serrated saddle (5) to the ram.
3.7. Join the two press bed frames (18) together by inserting the four bolts (27) through the bushings (28) and the holes in the bed

 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
 Keep the press clean for best and safest performance.
 Locate the press in a suitable work area, on a surface that is stable, level, dry, not slippery, and capable of sustaining the load.
Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate lighting.
 WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press.

 DO NOT use the press for a task it is not designed to perform.
 DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve, or make any modifications to the press.
 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the press. Avoid applying excessive force, use the pressure gauge to determine the applied load.
 DO NOT apply off-centre loads. Ensure that the workpiece is centrally loaded and correctly secured before operating the press.
 DO NOT allow the workpiece or the arbor plates to fall from the press work bench.
 DO NOT get the press wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

 DANGER! This model is purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic unit can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly give way, causing danger to operator or
the workpiece.
