Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

HEAVY LIF T!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting the arbor press. To
reduce this risk, get help
from other people or lifting
equipment rated for weight
of the arbor press.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable Rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Put on safety glasses.

1.

2. Coat rust preventative with a liberal amount

of cleaner/degreaser (see Page 8 for offer­ings from Grizzly), then let it soak for 5–10
minutes.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD!

machine.

-2-

Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser

3.

is effective, rust preventative will wipe off
easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with a rag.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

4.

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

Mounting

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example
below) where the machine is secured directly to
the workbench with lag screws and washers.

Because of the dynamic forces involved in oper­ating the arbor press, we strongly recommend
mounting it to a benchtop or other stable working
surface to prevent it from moving during operation
and causing accidental injury or damage.

The base of the arbor press has two
holes on each side of the upright (see Figure 3).

The strongest mounting option is a "Through

drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

Adjusting Ram Play

Cap screws on the front and left side of the ram
housing (see Figure 8) adjust the amount of ram
free-play. Ideally the ram should move with very
little play but not be overly stiff.

4. When you are satisfied with the amount of

ram free-play, retighten hex nuts (shown in

Figure 8) without moving cap screws.

Using Ratchet Latch

The ratchet latch connected to the handle allows
the user to consistently move the ram downward
to apply pressure to the workpiece. The ratcheting
motion of the handle allows the handle to return to
the vertical position while the ram maintains pres­sure on the workpiece.

To use ratchet latch:

To lower ram, engage ratchet latch with

1.

ratchet gear, as shown in Figure 9.

Pull handle downward to lower ram. Ratchet

2.

gear will move with handle rotation.

play.

2. Equally adjust each pair of cap screws a
small amount in the same direction. Turn
clockwise to decrease free-play or counter­clockwise to increase free-play.

downward motion until pressing operation is
complete.

To release ram pressure, lift ratchet latch and

Cleaning & Protecting

Wipe the arbor press down with a clean shop rag
and mineral spirits. When dry, protect the unpaint­ed surfaces by applying a thin film of ISO 32 oil.

Push the tip of the oil can nozzle against the oil
access hole, and pump oil can once or twice. If
you see sludge and contaminants coming out
of the lubrication area, continue pumping the oil
can until the oil runs clear. Move the components
through the entire path of travel a few times to
distribute the oil. When finished, wipe away the
excess oil.

its to clean of rack-and-pinion teeth.

When dry, apply a light coat of grease to

T23964—Armor Plate with Moly-D Multi­Purpose Grease, 14.5 oz. (NLGI#2 Equivalent)

Armor Plate with Moly-D is a rich green moly
grease that provides excellent stability and unsur­passed performance under a wide range of tem­peratures and operating conditions. Armor Plate
grease is entirely unique due to the fact that the
moly in it is solubilized, which provides supe­rior performance to other greases containing the
black solid form of molybdenum disulfide.
