(The Heated Platens P/N GS15515 are not required for use with the High Temperature Film Maker Accessory P/N GS15800 as this accessory has its own heated pressing surfaces).

- Page 7 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press 3. Unpacking and Installation Beware! This press is very heavy and care must be taken to transport it properly. This will protect you and the press from accidental damage or injury. The press leaves the factory in specially designed packaging. It sits on a wooden pallet and has a thick outer cardboard casing held to the pallet by three tie straps.

To remove these four pieces loosen the lead screw handle (turn anticlockwise) and then carefully lift them up and over the lead screw handle. The press is now ready to be lifted off of the wooden pallet. There are two holes in the upright frame supports on the sample pressing side of the press (used for vacuum tubing when an evacuable pellet die is in the press –...
- Page 9 Replacing a press in its packaging is the reverse of the procedure described previously. For any inquiries to Specac regarding the press the serial number must be quoted. The serial number is a five digit number preceded by a letter of the alphabet e.g. H, and is found engraved on the press at the rear of the pump block assembly.
- Page 10 User Manual If you need to contact Specac regarding a service or repair issue relating to an Atlas™ Manual Hydraulic Press, please be as specific as possible regarding the nature of the enquiry. Please quote the serial number for the press, identify how the press is being used and provide as much information as you can.
- Page 11 Under the Pressure Directive 97/23/EC, because these presses fall below the stated pressure and volume limits, EC Marking compliance is exempt. Therefore Specac adopts SEP (Standard Engineering Practice) to ensure safety in use of these products. The Atlas™ Manual Hydraulic Press is provided with front and rear safety guards (65).
- Page 12 User Manual 5. Operation of the Press (The text for “bubble part” number identification also refers to the 2D Diagrams Figs 13. to 18.found at the back of this manual). The press is supplied filled with hydraulic oil and is ready to use. The only preparation required before operation is to remove the nylon vent screw (37) from the pump plate (36) of the pump block assembly.
- Page 13 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press Raise the front safety guard (65) and place the work to be pressed on the lower bolster pressing face (5) covering the piston (4). Ensure that the work is positioned centrally and lower the safety guard. Screw down the top bolster pressing face (23) attached to the lead screw (21), by turning the lead screw handle (20) clockwise.
- Page 14 User Manual Ring Fig 6. Maximum Limit of Piston (4) Travel (Red Ring Showing) If the work (e.g. a sample in a die set) is compressing to the extent that the piston (4) has travelled to show the red line but the compression load has not been reached, release the pressure by turning the pressure release handle (30) anticlockwise (slowly) by about one complete rotation.
- Page 15 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press Note: If the applied tonnage load set at the load gauge (31) drops by more than one ton over a 15 minute period, this may indicate that there is a fault in the system for holding the applied pressure, rather than from any relaxation in the work being pressed.
- Page 16 User Manual 66-72 Fig 7. Pressure Relief Valve for Setting a Maximum Load valve is fully open, there will be no pressure build up in the system (the pressure/load gauge (31) indicator will not rise and show a load) and excess pressure being pumped will vent off at the relief valve.

Page 17: Lead Screw Assembly
Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press Tip: This is a useful feature for pressing applications where a maximum load limit is required. For example, 10 Tons maximum for 13 mm evacuable pellet dies P/N GS03000. Beware! With the pressure relief valve set knob (69) turned fully clockwise it is possible that the press will reach and go beyond the maximum load rating for the press;... - Page 18 However, certain faults can be easily identified and repaired without the potential need for return of the press to Specac. The following information is provided to identify faults and carry out the necessary repairs and adjustments should you decide to do so.
- Page 19 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press Remedy: By pumping the press without the pressure release handle (30) tightened, the foreign matter may be removed from the valve seat by a flow of oil washing through the system. Pump the press about ten times. If this does not work, then you will need to gain access to the non-return valve ball bearing (50) for inspection.
- Page 20 User Manual Remedy: The procedure to gain access to the oil filter (55) for cleaning and/or replacement is found in the Atlas™ Manual Hydraulic Press Servicing Guide. Cause 5: Airlock in Pump Assembly. Remedy: The pump block assembly and possibly the piston side of the press must be bled of air trapped within the oil.
- Page 21 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press Take a piece of work (for example, a block of metal) and place it into the pressing area on the lower pressing face, and press it in the usual way (Close pressure release handle (30) and pump via the pump handle (32)).
- Page 22 User Manual Retighten the bleed screw (40) and wipe away any expelled oil. Now release the pressure from the system (open the pressure release handle (30)) and remove the work from the press. Carefully replace the pump block upper gasket (38) and the pump plate (36) and secure with the four fixing screws.
- Page 23 Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press access to the bleed screw (6). (The bolster simply lifts clear of the piston. There may be some suction due to a thin film of oil on the bolster and piston contact faces). Loosen, but do not remove this bleed screw and take a piece of work (e.g.
