Set Up; Filling Press With Oil - Dake 75H Instructional Manual

SET UP

For shipping convenience, the gauge, pump handle, hoist crank, screw nose and base angles
were removed from the press. Assemble these parts to the press in the following order:
1. Bolt the base angles to the uprights using the four bolts and nuts furnished. Shoulder the
base angles against the stops on the uprights.
2. The press should be set on a level floor with the base angles touching the floor at all
points, using shims where necessary. Then secure the base angles to the floor using
four, 1/2" bolts included.
3. Install the pressure gauge using the hydraulic sealant to ensure a sealed fit.
4. Insert the pump handle into the handle socket and fasten in place by means of the set
screw on top of the handle socket.
5. CAUTION!
turn the crank to get the table to a desired height. Check to make sure the hoist cable is
tracking correctly. Run the table channels from top to bottom. The cable should be on
each of the two upper pulleys and should track back and forth on the cable drum.
a. Place the table pins under the table before releasing the hoist crank when
positioning the table channels for cable tracking, servicing, or set up for desired
work operating. Be sure all table pins are fully inserted in place before applying
pressure. Always remove or release pressure on the cable before pressure is
applied by turning the hand crank counterclockwise until slack forms in the cables.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOIST.
b. If a tracking problem exists, contact the Dake factory for instructions.
6. Fasten nosepiece to the end of the screw using the thumbscrew included.

FILLING PRESS WITH OIL

Recommended to replace hydraulic oil every 6 months of machine use.
IMPORTANT! ONLY FILL WITH NEW, CLEAN, LIGHT HYDRAULIC OIL. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES USE DIRTY OIL.
1. Use Mobil DTE 24 or equivalent.
2. Filter the oil to remove any possible dirt.
3. Put the piston in to its maximum upper position.
4. Fill the reservoir with 4 quarts of oil.
5. Remove the screw plug from the gauge extension on the top of the work head.
6. Close the release valve handwheel and pump oil into the work head until oil is visible in
the stand pipe.
a. This will remove all air from the chamber above the piston.
If oil leaks by the piston, the reservoir should be drained and refilled with the piston in the
maximum upper position.
