SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Due to the weight of the press, lifting equipment and the help of an assistant will be required during installation. Secure the press to a firm level floor using suitable anchor bolts (not supplied).
• Before starting work, check for signs of cracked welds, loose or missing bolts, damaged screen, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these conditions exist. Have repairs made only by authorised service centre.
• Before work, always ensure that hydraulic hoses and couplings are completely sound.
• Never tamper with the press components or modify them. The safety valve is calibrated and sealed at the factory; do not attempt to change the setting.
• Use only the recommended hydraulic oil.
• The components of this press are designed to withstand the rated load. Do not substitute any other components or exceed the rated load of the press.
• Before applying pressure, ensure the workpiece is firmly secure and stable.
• Always clean up spills of hydraulic oil immediately as this can be dangerous in a workshop environment.
• Do not allow any person who is unfamiliar with hydraulic presses, to use the press unless they are under direct supervision.
• Keep children and unauthorised personnel away from the work area.
• Always position the safety screen directly front of the workpiece.
• Always apply the load under the centre of the ram. Offset loads can damage the ram and may cause the work piece to be ejected.
• Always ensure the work piece is properly supported by the press bed.
• When using accessories such as pressing plates, be certain they are centered below the ram and are in full contact with the bed.
• Parts being pressed may shatter or be ejected from the press. Always use adequate guards, and wear eye protection and protective clothing when using this press.
• Keep hands and fingers away from parts that may pinch or shift.
• Never use extension tubes to increase the length of the pump handle. Excessive effort can cause damage and/or accidents.
• Wear approved impact safety goggles and heavy duty work gloves.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in damage to the equipment, or serious personal injury.

PREPARATION FOR USE

PURGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1. Insert the pump handle into the actuating lever.
2. Open the release valve by turning anti-clockwise.
3. Pump several full strokes to eliminate any air bubbles from the system. Use either the handle or the foot pedal.
4. Close the release valve by turning clockwise.
5. Top up the hydraulic oil to the lower level of the filler plug with CLARKE hydraulic oil, Part No.
3050830.

POSITIONING THE PRESSING BED

IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the press bed, we recommend that you get assistance from another person when adjusting the bed height.
1. Position the pressing bed so that it will be as close as possible to the ram when the workpiece is mounted on it.
2. Raise one side of the bed and insert a bed supporting pin into the next locating hole.
3. Repeat at the other end to level the bed.
4. Repeat until the bed is at the required height, with the bed supporting pins are secured using the spring clips.
CAUTION: THE BED HEIGHT SHOULD ONLY BE RAISED OR LOWERED ONE HOLE AT A TIME, WORKING ALTERNATELY FROM ONE SIDE AND THEN THE OTHER, FAILURE TO WORK IN THIS WAY MAY CAUSE THE BED TO FALL AND CAUSE INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.

POSITIONING THE RAM

1. Slide the carriage along the cross­beam.
2. Lock it in position with the four sprung locking bolts.
IMPORTANT: Always position the ram directly above the workpiece.

POSITIONING THE PRESSING BLOCKS

The bed blocks can be placed on the bed with either the flat face or the V-supports facing upwards.
They are prevented from slipping out of position by the retaining pins which drop down within the confines of the bed side members.
Check all parts are secure and correctly aligned before using the press.

OPERATION

1. Place the workpiece on the bed. It must be completely stable and supported by packing or shims where required. Pressing plates (bed blocks) are supplied, which locate on the bed. Place the workpiece on these to give it stability.
CAUTION: DO NOT POINT LOAD SUCH ACCESSORIES AS THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED TO TAKE THE FULL FORCE OF THE RAM IN ONE SPOT. ENSURE THEY ARE ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED.
NOTE: Any packing pieces or shims used MUST be capable of
withstanding the pressure that will be brought to bear, and MUST be of sufficient size with sufficient surface area, so as to avoid the possibility of slipping or springing out. Mating surfaces MUST be horizontal so that the force being exerted will NOT be at an angle.
2. Close the release valve by turning clockwise until tightly closed.
3. Select either SLOW SPEED or FAST SPEED using the knob on the side of the pump cover.
NOTE: Fast speed allows faster
movement but greater effort will be required.
4. Pump the handle or foot pedal to bring the ram very lightly into contact with the workpiece.
5. Manoeuvre the workpiece or loosen the bolts and slide the ram to one side so that the desired point of contact is directly beneath the centre of the ram.
6. When satisfied that the workpiece is correctly aligned and is completely stable in that position, raise the protective screen into position before starting any pressing.
7. Slowly pump the handle or foot pedal so that the ram begins to exert pressure on the workpiece.
10
Page 11
8. Continue to pump the handle and constantly monitor the process, ensuring the ram and work remain completely in line and there is no risk of slipping.
9. Observe the reading on the pressure gauge and take care not to exceed the rated working pressure of the press.
NOTE: The scale from 30 metric tonnes upward is highlighted in red,
indicating pressure being applied above the rated maximum working pressure.
10. When the pressing process is complete, turn the release valve anticlockwise in small increments to release ram pressure and allow removal of the workpiece and lower the protective screen.

MAINTENANCE

ROUTINELY

A visual inspection must be made before each use of the press, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Owners and/or users should be aware that repair of this equipment requires specialised knowledge and facilities. It is recommended that a thorough annual inspection of the press be made and that any defective parts be replaced with genuine Clarke parts.
If the press appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until the necessary repairs are made.
If the press is not to be used for any length of time, store it with the ram piston withdrawn to protect the surface of the moving parts.

PERIODICALLY

Check the press to make sure all bolts are tight and inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose or missing parts.
Clean any foreign material from the ram carrier sliding plastic blocks. Keep the protective screen clean at all times.
Check the hydraulic connections for leaks. Replace or properly repair any damaged or leaking hydraulic components before using. In the event of leaking seals, oil can be topped up via the filler plug (P34-page 17) on the end of the pump. Oil should be level with the bottom of the hole. If necessary top up with CLARKE hydraulic oil, Part No. 3050830. This task is carried out with the
ram fully retracted.
If any rust is apparent it must be removed completely and the paint restored.

DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED MATERIALS

One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products. Never throw away used oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a sink or drain. Collect any oil in a leak proof container and take it to your local waste disposal site.
Should hydraulic components become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the product and the oil according to local regulations.
