Instruction Manual
Press, HP20 / HP25 G6, FP20 / FP25 G6
Important: Read and understand this manual before use
FP20 / FP25 is a foot operated press with air operated fast approach and with air return on ram.
HP20 / HP25 is a hand operated press with air operated fast approach and with air return on ram.
Transportation:
By forklift: Place the forks under the top frame. The lifting points are marked on the packing.
By crane: The same lifting points as for the forklift.
By pallet truck: The press must be supported during transportation so it can't tip over.
Safety:
Important!
When using the fast approach air system, the press piston may obtain a pressure up
to 600kg, and there may be danger of damaging body parts, if they get caught under the press
piston.
Use the press for pressing purpose ONLY! Always take care of the risk for items to be thrown out of
the press.
Installation:
Before use the press must be inspected visually by a skilled person for any leakages and
damages. This inspection is to be made at least once a year.
Mount the pressure gauge so it is placed in the correct position. It is demounted for transportation
reasons.
Tighten the pressure gauge with a 22 mm spanner while holding a 27 mm spanner counter to
tighten the base of the pressure gauge towards a cutting ring. Don't use any tape or equivalent.
In case the pressure gauge isn't turned into the right position then adjustment is done by loosening
the bottom nut with a 17 mm spanner while holding counter with a 27 mm spanner. Now adjust the
pressure gauge into its right position and tighten the nut again while holding counter.
Connect the Air supply: 6-8 bar (88 - 115 psi).
Operating:
Raise the table slightly above the required working height, insert the pins and take care these are
placed correctly. Place the straightening blocks and the press is ready for use.
Please note! From 55 % of the max. pressure (14 tonnes) and onwards the material must always
be supported by both of the straightening blocks.
Activate the fast approach with air pressure by activating the small pedal, placed at the bottom on
the right side of the press frame just above the press foot. Activating the small pedal / valve moves
the piston downwards. Full capacity is obtained by pumping with the handle/foot pedal.
Return the piston by activating the air return.
HP: Push the handle gently in the backwards direction and the piston returns.
FP: Lift the foot pedal gently and the piston returns.
Do not use the press beyond the indicated max. Pressure and max. Stroke length, as this may
damage the seals in the cylinder. DO NOT continue pumping or activating the air hydraulic pump in
case the full stroke of the press is attained.
