1. Determine the required distance between the end of the ram
plunger and the press bed based on the setup and required press
stroke. Adjust the press bed height accordingly. Make sure the
press bed pins that support the press bed are fully engaged with
the holes in the flanges of the upright press frames and the pins
are fully supporting the flanges of the bed plate channel.
2. The hydraulic power unit is bearing mounted for horizontal
movement on the press head channel. Determine the desired
location of the power unit, unscrew the two wing nuts at the top of
the power unit and slide the power unit into position. Tighten the
two wing nuts to secure the power unit in place on the press head
channel.
3. Make the press work setup in accordance with all the warnings
previously mentioned in the "WARNING" section of this manual
including the guard or protective blanket required to prevent
injury.
4. In order to operate the jack in standard model presses, the
black release valve knob must be turned all the way in a clockwise
direction until it stops. Pumping the handle up and down will
activate the ram plunger. The ram plunger can be retracted
by turning the black release valve knob in a counterclockwise
direction. The farther you turn the knob the faster the ram plunger
retracts. It is not necessary to turn the knob in a counterclockwise
direction more than two full turns. You may, of course, stop the
retraction of the ram at any time by turning the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops.
5. In order to operate the air/hydraulic system in deluxe model
presses it is important to become familiar with the pedal operation
of the air/hydraulic foot pump before using the press under load.
Depressing the foot pedal end marked "Pump" extends the ram
plunger. To extend the plunger a small distance it is necessary
to use incremental taps of your foot on the foot pedal until the
1. Always store the press in a well protected area where it will not
be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust,
or any other harmful elements.
2. Lubricate moving parts once a month with a general purpose
grease. Do not lubricate the bed plate bearing surface or ram
plunger.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the jack or air/
hydraulic foot pump reservoirs with hydraulic fluid unless there is
an external leak. An external leak requires immediate repair which
must be performed in a dirt-free environment by qualified hydraulic
repair personnel who are familiar with this equipment. Norco
Authorized Service Centers are recommended. IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use
alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack
or air/hydraulic foot pump.
If your Norco product requires service or repair, contact the Norco
Customer Service Department for the location of the nearest Norco
Authorized Service Center.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
REPAIR SERVICE
plunger reaches the desired position. Releasing the plunger
is accomplished by depressing the foot pedal end marked
"Release". The pump is equipped with a two speed release
mechanism. Gently depressing the foot pedal end marked
"Release" releases the plunger slower than if you depress the
pedal all the way down. If you want to release the plunger slower
than the slow speed release, use gentle incremental taps of your
foot on the "Release" pedal.
WARNING
You cannot use the pump and release mechanism on the foot
pump in conjunction with the pump and release mechanism on
the jack. For example: You cannot use the foot pump to extend
the ram plunger and then use the release valve on the jack to
release the plunger. You cannot use the manual pump on the jack
to extend the ram plunger and then use the release mechanism
on the foot pump to release the ram. When you are using the foot
pump, you must operate the pump and release mechanisms on
the foot pump.
The ram plunger should not be pumped to maximum extension
too often because oil being pumped from the foot pump will
by-pass to the reservoir in the jack instead of the foot pump's
reservoir. Both actions result in improper fluid levels in the jack
and foot pump. At this time the efficiency of the system will be
dramatically changed or affected to the point of inoperability.
Improper fluid levels can be corrected by placing the jack in a
vertical upright position with the ram retracted all the way.
The fluid level in the reservoir should be no higher than the
bottom edge of the oil fill plug hole. The foot pump's fluid level
should be checked and corrected accordingly. All operators
should be made aware of these instructions.
4. Every press owner is responsible for keeping the label clean
and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces
of the press but not any moving hydraulic components. Contact
Norco Industries for a replacement label if your press label is
unreadable.
5. Inspect the press before each use. Do not use the press if any
component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage, or
leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use the press if it has loose or missing
hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective
action before using the press again.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you
are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this
equipment.
It will be necessary to provide the Norco Authorized Service Center
with a copy of the bill of sale if requesting warranty repair. If the
authorized service center determines your product is eligible for
warranty repair, the repair will be made at no charge and returned
freight prepaid. The cost of non-warrantable service, repair, and
return freight is the customer's responsibility.
