User-Maintenance Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the
Shop Press and Ram. Check for broken, cracked, or
bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition
that may affect the proper operation of the product. If
a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before
further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Ram for
proper operation prior to its actual use. If the
Ram appears not to be working properly, follow
instructions in Bleeding the Ram on page 8.
3. Change the hydraulic fluid at least once every
three years. To change the hydraulic fluid:
a. With the Ram fully lowered, unhook the
Springs from the Eye Bolts, then remove
the Ram from the Ram Plate.
b. Remove the Filler Plug.
c. Tip the Ram to allow the old hydraulic fluid to drain
out of the unit completely, and dispose of the old
hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
d. Completely fill the unit with a high quality
hydraulic fluid (not included) until the fluid
just begins to run out of the Fill Hole.
e. Reinstall the Filler Plug.
f. Clean with a clean cloth using a
detergent or mild solvent.
g. Replace the Ram onto the Ram Plate.
