Assembly and Operating Instructions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - CONTINUED
BOLSTER ADJUSTMENT
A winch and cable assembly support the bolster when the bolster support pins are not in place. The
following warnings must be observed to prevent personal injury:
•
Keep hands, feet, legs, etc. out from under the bolster. Accidental slippage can result in personal
injury.
•
When raising or lowering the bolster, place a support pin all the way through the front and the back
uprights 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.
•
Bolster support pins must be securely in place and all cables slack before placing a workpiece on the
press bed or starting a pressing operation. Stay out from underneath the bolster.
•
Regularly inspect the entire length of the lifting cables, and replace any cable that appears frayed,
worn, or crushed. The cables must run on the pulleys properly, and the pulleys must be free to turn.
Proper cable maintenance will help prevent accidental cable breakage.
Remove banding from the press and shipping pallet, and
remove all cartons. Stand the press upright. Refer to the
parts list and follow these instructions during the assembly
of hydraulic components and options.
1. Remove the lock ring and spring from the winch handle.
Turn the handle 180°. Assemble lock ring and spring
again.
2. Using the fasteners noted on the parts list, attach the
pump to the pump mounting bracket. See Figures 1, 2,
& 3.
NOTE: If your pump is a model PE172, remove the
handle from the pump to allow clearance for the
shop press winch handle.
3. Clean the threads on the fittings and on the hydraulic
hose. Assemble the hose to the pump. Thread the other
end of the hose into the cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Seal hydraulic connections with pipe
sealant. Teflon tape can also be used to seal
hydraulic connections if only one layer of tape is
used. Apply the tape carefully, two threads back, to
prevent it from being pinched by the fitting and broken
off inside the pipe end. Loose pieces of tape could travel
through the system, obstructing the flow of oil or
jamming precision-fit parts.
4. Air can accumulate in the hydraulic system during initial
set-up or after prolonged use causing the cylinder to
respond slowly or in an unstable manner. Extend and
retract the cylinder several times without putting a load
on the system. Air will be released through the pump
reservoir.
