TROUBLESHOOTING

INSPECTION

DO NOT SIGN FOR THE SHIPMENT IF YOU SEE ANY CRA TE DAM-

AGE. Inspect your machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the
delivery company immediately, should you fi nd damage.

UNPACKING

Remember to save all packing materials. Y ou may need these for ship-

ping your machine in the future. After disassembling the crate save the
skid and side boards.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove unit from shipping crate and base. Do not use a fork lift under 1.
the machine to remove from shipping skid to avoid damage to the air
cylinders. Recomended: Use at least 4 or more people capable of lifting
150 lbs. each to lift at each corner and the bars, or use a forklift with
extensions long enough to extend past the width of the HOSS’s legs.
Place forks under horizontal bottom leg support. Lift with caution.

Place unit in desired operating location.2.
Level the machine pads on each corner so that the machine sits in 3.

a level position and at the desired operation height (Check that the
machine is level with a carpenters level).

Supply 100 - 1 15 PSI (7-8 bar) air supply to machine with 3/8” (10mm) 4.
diameter hose, minimum. Air requirements 8 CFM (226 L) per minute
at 100 PSI . Air inlet is located on the left side frame support leg (when
facing the control panel).

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that an external air fi lter and water trap

be installed at the machine’s air inlet connection. Compressed air is
dirty. It has ‘stuff’, primarily moisture, residues from oil and smoke and
whatever else is in the air. Compressors or ‘shop air’ may have fi ltered
air and/or an “AIR DRYER” after the compressor . IF your air is not fi ltered
and dried, YOU MUST FILTER THE AIR and REMOVE THE WATER
AND ‘STUFF’ FROM THE AIR, before putting it in most air operated
machines, including our press. There are small valves and ports that can
become blocked from moisture and residue in compressed air, causing
your press to malfunction. An external air fi lter and water trap must be
installed at the machine’s air inlet connection, if your air is not fi ltered.
Damage to the machine’s internal air operated components can occur
that will not be covered under warranty. Combination air fi lter/water
traps are available at any major hardware store or may be purchased
directly from HIX (part #71145).

Supply voltage and current per wiring diagram.5.
Note this is an industrial piece of equipment with an automatic cycle. 6.

All safety guards must be left in place at all times when the machine is
operating. Operating without the guards will present access to pinch
and crush points and thus pose dangerous exposure to the operators.

WARNING: Before making repairs, be sure on/off

switch is off and machine is unplugged!
