MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
• Keep all working parts of the press well-oiled for easier operation.
• Keep a light film of oil over the entire surface of the ram to prevent rust.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
Hydraulic oil should be checked and refilled as needed once a week.
*Amount needed may vary dependent on machine use*
To check, open the weep hole, if oil leaks out then the press is still filled properly. If it is not, use
step 4 in the "SET UP" section of the manual to add oil.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Recommended to replace hydraulic oil every 6 months of machine use.
*Amount needed may vary dependent on machine use*
To empty oil, remove the pipe plug located in front of the ram and use a bucket to catch the old
oil. To fill use step 4 in the "SET UP" section of the manual.
Priming the pump is not necessary after replacing oil in the machine.
