Assembly and Operating Instructions
CYLINDER ATTACHMENT (CONTINUED)
55 TON PRESS
1.
Remove the roller attachment plates from each end of the mounting plate.
2.
Disassemble the hose from the cylinder. Plug the cylinder and the end of the hose.
3.
Thread the cylinder into the mounting plate. Position the cylinder so the hose fitting on the cylinder points to the
side of the press where the pump is mounted. NOTE: The cylinder handle must not interfere with the winch
cable after the cylinder is installed.
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury, the cylinder and mounting plate MUST have maximum
thread engagement to prevent the threads from stripping while the press is under full load.
4.
Due to the weight of the mounting plate and cylinder, the lower bolster can be used with cribbing to raise the
mounting plate and cylinder to the top bolster. IMPORTANT: The lower bolster should be used in this
manner only during the assembly of the press because raising and lowering the bolster with a load can
cause cable breakage.
5.
Attach the cylinder/mounting plate assembly to the upper bolster by installing the roller attachment plates on the
mounting plate again.
6.
Lower the bolster assembly onto the bolster pins.
7.
Thread the hose into the fitting on the cylinder again.
IMPORTANT: To help prevent equipment damage,
•
Retract the cylinder when not in use to protect the surface of the piston rod.
•
When adding oil to the pump reservoir, use only high-grade hydraulic oil. Never use brake fluids or other
substitutes.
