WARNING!!!
This press is exclusively prepared to be used only by one operator.
To prime, jog the start button (electric motor). When the unit emits a dull sound with no jumps
and the sound of the pump is constant. An uneven “tinny” noise indicates there is air in the
pump.
The oil in the reservoir may fall on start up due to:
1. absorption of volume by the cylinder
2. Absorption of volume by the pumping unit.
3. Discharge of air bubbles remaining in the piping.
It is necessary to top off the level of oil bringing it up to the correct height, by checking the level
gauge. The level should be about half way up the stick.
Operation
Before starting any operations make sure there are no other persons in the immediate vicinity of
the machine.
It is strictly forbidden to pass under the work table.
To operate the cylinder, activate the master switch, and then operate the distributor lever Fig. 8.
Pulling - the lever toward the operator (Pos. 2) the piston rod lowers.
Pushing - the lever from the opposite side to the operator (Pos. 3) the piston rod will go up.
Releasing - the lever will return to the neutral position stopping the ram from moving (Pos. 1).
With the hand wheel positioned on the side of the distributors (Fig. 8 Pos. 4) it is possible to
adjust the operating pressure continually and therefore the pressing force of the cylinder. The
pressure gauge (Fig. 7 Pos. 5) allows displaying the pressure during the working phases.
Adjustment of the maximum pressure must be made starting from the lower value and gradually
increasing to reach the pressure necessary to perform the operation to be carried out.
Dake declines all liability for damage to things and/or persons caused by tampering with
the pressure control valve fitted on the unit.

Work table height adjustment
To optimize the use of the press it is necessary to set the work table at a convenient height in
relation to the operation to be carried out and to the equipment to be used.
Before proceeding to lift the mobile table, check that:
- The eyebolts fixed to the work table are fully tightened Pos. 01.
- The eyebolt support (nose piece) is properly screwed onto the cylinder ram (Pos. 2)
- The eyebolts fixed to the nose piece are fully tightened.
1. Hook the chains (Pos. 5) to the respective eyebolts and lift the cylinder ram until the
chains are set under tension but, do not lift the table.
2. Check the chain connections to all eyebolts to ensure a safe secure connection.
3. When the connection is safe, lift the table just above the desired table height.
4. Take the split pins (Pos. 6) off the pins then remove the pins.
5. Insert the pins to the desired work table height pin location then, insert the split pins.
6. Slowly move the table down until it rests on the table pins.
7. Check to be sure the position and the assembly of the pins are correct.
8. Unhook the chains and leave them hang in a downward position (Pos. 5).

Changing the oil
The oil will have to be changed periodically every 2000 operating hours or at least once a year.
Empty the unit tank by arranging a container of an adequate capacity to contain the quantity of
oil to be removed under the drainage plug at the bottom of the tank.
Remember to tighten the plug before filling the tank.
Disposing of the oil will have to be done in conformity with local and state laws along with
OSHA regulations. Hydraulic oil is considered special waste.
Filters
The filter must be frequently replaced during the first period of operation of the press and then at
regular intervals of time to be defined according to the conditions of use and the environment
where the machine is located.
It is recommended to change the filter after the first 100 hours of operation. After that
approximately every 500-600 hours.
Force 40 70 100 Ton

On this unit there are three filters:
- Oil outlet filter
- Oil inlet filter
- Air inlet filter
Replacing the filters will help give the pump, oil and generally all the moving components longer
service life.
Failure to comply with the maintenance table in changing the filter will forfeit the
warranty.

Putting out of service
In the case of not operating for a long period it is necessary to disconnect the press from the
sources of electrical power supply.
Empty the unit of oil and protect it suitably so there is no dust, moisture or other foreign bodies
that can damage the parts of the unit.
Demolition and division of materials
If you are not going to use the machine any more, it is recommended to make it inoperative by
removing the oil contained in the tank and eliminating the oil remaining in the cylinder,
hydraulic lines, pump body and valves.
When going for demolition the press must be treated as special waste, it must therefore be split
up into its homogeneous parts, these parts must be separately disposed of in conformity with
local and state laws along with all OSHA regulations.
