12. Connect the hydraulic hose to the ram cylinder, sealing the joint with PTFE tape and tighten using two open ended spanners. 13. The pressure gauge is sealed for transit and it will be necessary to make a small hole in the pressure gauge safety bung with a short pin or nail before use.
PREPARATION FOR USE 1. Insert the pump handle into the actuating lever. 2. Purge any air from the system by opening the release valve (turning the control knob anti- clockwise) and pumping several full strokes to eliminate any air bubbles. Close the valve using the control knob (clockwise).
POSITIONING THE PRESSING BLOCKS The pressing blocks can be placed on the bed to suit the work. Check all parts are secure and correctly aligned before using the press. OPERATION 1. Place the workpiece on the bed. It must be completely stable and supported by packing or shims where required.
Oil should be level with the bottom of the hole. If necessary top up with CLARKE hydraulic oil, Part No. 3050830. This task is carried out with the ram fully retracted.
DISPOSAL OF UNWANTED MATERIALS One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products. Never throw away used oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a sink or drain. Collect any oil in a leak proof container and take it to your local waste disposal site.
