Press Not Holding Pressure - Dake 50H Instruction Manual

PRESS NOT HOLDING PRESSURE

This condition is nearly always caused by dirt under the pressure ball valve (Part No. 586). See
hand pump assembly drawing.
Steps to fix:
1. Remove the reservoir drain plug and drain all oil out of the reservoir.
2. Remove parts: pipe plug (Part No. 588), check valve spring (Part No. 579) and ball valve
(Part No. 586) then clean out the port hole and valve seat thoroughly.
3. Using a small piece of brass rod as a drift, tap on the brass rod lightly to seat the ball
valve in place.
4. Replace the spring and plug with extreme care to prevent dirt from entering.
5. Replace the drain plug and refill the reservoir with clean filtered oil.
See FILLING PRESS WITH OIL section in manual.
