Assembly and Operating Instructions
RAISING AND LOWERING THE BOLSTER
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury,
•
To prevent accidental slippage, do not apply hydraulic force or place work pieces on the press bed until bolster
support pins are in place and, on models which use a winch and cable lift system, all cables are slack.
•
Remove the work piece or load before moving the bolster to prevent cable breakage.
•
When raising or lowering the bolster, place one support pin all the way through each front and back upright in
the highest hole under the bolster that will not interfere with the new bolster position. Remove your hands from
the support pins after the pins are in place. Failure to do so can result in personal injury if the bolster falls.
•
When raising the bolster, leave the support pins in place until the bolster is raised to its new position. Remove
your hands from the support pins after the pins are in place. Failure to do so can result in personal injury if the
bolster falls.
•
Keep hands, feet, legs and other body parts out from underneath the bolster, load or work piece. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury.
•
On models which use a winch and cable lift system, inspect the entire length of the lifting cables at least every
three months, and replace cables that appear frayed, worn, or crushed. The cables must run on the pulleys
easily, and the pulleys must be free to turn. Correct cable maintenance helps prevent accidental cable
breakage.
•
Inspect the entire press assembly before each use. Repair or replace worn or damaged components. Tighten
loose fasteners.
Refer to any operating instructions included with this product for detailed information about operation,
