Table of Contents Safety.......................................................... 2 Specifications.............................................. 3 Assembly..................................................... 5 Operation..................................................... 8 Maintenance................................................ 9 Parts List and Assembly Diagram.............. 11 Warranty..................................................... 12 WARNING SYMBOLS AND DEFINITIONS This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. Addresses practices not related to personal injury. Specific Safety Rules 1. Keep hands away from arbor plates and press pin during use. 2. Do not move workpiece while compressed. 3. Release load before service or maintenance. 4. Keep area under arbor plates clear. If arbor plates rest on obstruction (i.e. bolt, debris, etc.), it creates an uneven press, causing excess stress and possible breakage. 5. Avoid off-center loads. Do not operate if workpiece tilts or binds during compression. 6. STOP and release compression if you suspect imminent structural failure. If safe, inspect thoroughly and reposition before proceeding. 7. Do not compress springs or other elastic objects. They could disengage hazardously. 8. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and steel-toe work boots during set up and/or use. Page 2 9. Keep bystanders out of work area. 10. Do not stand directly in front of the press when loaded. Do not leave the press unattended when loaded. 11. Do not operate the hydraulic ram beyond rated capacity. 12. Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged. 13. Ram service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 14. When servicing a ram, use only identical replacement parts – refer to attached, product-specific parts list and diagram. Follow instructions in the “User - Maintenance Instructions” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.

Page 7 Operating Instructions Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty work gloves, and steel-toe work boots during set up and/or use. Bleeding the Ram IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper hydraulic fluid level in the Ram. Then thoroughly test the Ram for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Ram appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary to bleed its hydraulic system of excess air. To bleed the Ram: 4. Insert the Ram Handle into the Fulcrum, then pump the Ram Handle quickly several times. 5. Check the Fill Hole and, if necessary, top off with hydraulic fluid. 1. Remove the Fill Plug. 6. Place the slot on the Ram Handle over the Release Valve Screw. 2. Place the slot on the Ram Handle over the Release Valve. 7. Turn the Ram Handle clockwise to close the Release Valve. 3. Turn the Ram Handle counterclockwise to open the Release Valve. 8. Replace the Fill Plug. 9. Test the Ram several times before putting into use. General Operating Instructions 1. Adjust the Press Apron height as necessary. Note: The Press Apron should be in the highest position possible with the workpiece as close as possible to the Press Pin. WARNING! When pressing two items together, the items must be lined up vertically. If not, one item may forcefully eject itself sideways from the unit. 3. Close the Release Valve. 2. Place the workpiece on the Arbor Plates. Adjust the Arbor Plates to support the stationary part of the workpiece. 4. Pump the Ram Handle until Press Pin contacts the workpiece. Continue to pump the Ram Handle to press the workpiece. WARNING! Keep area under Arbor Plates clear. If Arbor Plates rest on obstruction (i.e., bolt, debris, etc.), it creates an uneven press, causing excess stress and possible breakage. 5. After work is completed, be careful when releasing Jack pressure. Slowly open the Release Valve, allowing the Ram Plate to rise. 6. WARNING! During the release process the Ram may rise quickly. Stay clear. 7. Store Shop Press out of reach of children. Page 8 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 01666 User-Maintenance Instructions Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. 1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Shop Press and Ram. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. 2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Ram for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Ram appears not to be working properly, follow instructions in Bleeding the Ram on page 8. 3. Change the hydraulic fluid at least once every three years. To change the hydraulic fluid: a. With the Ram fully lowered, unhook the Springs from the Eye Bolts, then remove the Ram from the Ram Plate. b. Remove the Filler Plug. c. Tip the Ram to allow the old hydraulic fluid to drain out of the unit completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations. d. Completely fill the unit with a high quality hydraulic fluid (not included) until the fluid just begins to run out of the Fill Hole. e. Reinstall the Filler Plug. f. Clean with a clean cloth using a detergent or mild solvent. g. Replace the Ram onto the Ram Plate. Item 01666 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Page 9 Troubleshooting TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning ram. Completely resolve all problems before use. If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the ram before use. After the ram is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising it and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE RAM TO OPERATION. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING RAM! POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS Pump Piston will stroke feels not lift all spongy the way Handle moves up when ram is under load Fluid leaking from filler plug PROBABLE SOLUTION (Make certain that the jack is not supporting a load while attempting a solution.) Check that Release Valve is closed fully. Valves may be blocked and may not close fully. To flush the valves: 1. Lower the piston and securely close the Release Valve. 2. Manually lift the piston several inches. 3. Open the release valve and force the piston down as quickly as possible. X X Ram may be low on fluid. Check the fluid level and refill if needed. X Ram may require bleeding - see instructions on page 8. X Unit may have too much hydraulic fluid inside, check fluid level and adjust if needed.
