OPERATION

WARNING
DO NOT OVERSTROKE THE RAM. Over-stroking will cause premature seal
failure. Models 6-275, and 6-475 have a 10-inch stroke.
The press has been completely tested at the factory and after setting up according to this
manual the press is ready for operation. However it is necessary for the operator to acquaint
themselves with the controls.
1. Three screws (Item 109) are used to lock the workhead in desired position along the
head channels.
2. The handcrank is to raise and lower the work table channels to proper work height. When
desired height is obtained insert the table pins. Models 6-275, and 6-475 use 2 pins on
each side, 4 total. Be sure all table pins are in place and in as far as they can go
before pressure is applied. Be sure to slack off the cable before pressure is
applied. See step 5 of the "SET UP" in this manual.
3. The handle on the left side of the control block (Item 76) opens and closes the ball valve
which releases the ram pressure. This valve should be kept firmly closed and opened
only when it is desired to return the ram to its up position.
4. The two table plates and two V-blocks are used for supporting the work in process.
5. The control knob (Item 103) on the right side of the panel regulates the speed of ram
travel. The knob will return to the off position when released.
6. The relief valve (Item 90) had been set at factory to open at maximum tonnage of the
press. The valve can be adjusted by removing the hex nut located on the top of the valve
block at the right front of the reservoir and turning the adjusting screw to the left for a
lower setting.
