MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the press frame to make sure all bolts are tight and inspect
for cracked welds, bent, loose, or missing parts.
Periodically check hydraulic connections for possible leaks, replace or properly
repair damaged or leaking hydraulic components before use.
Change hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system every 100 working hours, or more
frequently in unusual dirty or dusty areas.
If the paint becomes badly chipped, it is suggested to repaint the press. This will
prevent rusting.
Make sure the ram is fully retracted.
Remove the air vent / oil fill screw.
