Anchoring the Machine

• Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
• This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4" (102mm) thick, 6" (153mm) minimum is preferred.
Tank Filling
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the
running parts of the pump.
After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up to 90% of
capacity. Reference any labels or markings affixed to the outside of the machine. If none exist,
use SHELL BRAND #46 or #68 hydraulic oil or an equivalent with similar specifications. (Based
upon location temperature and availability.)
Verify that any cylinder rams are in the retracted position to prevent overfilling of the tank. Recheck
the oil level after the first few hours of operation and again after the first full week of operation.
A shortage of hydraulic oil can cause hydraulic system breakdown and damage to major
mechanical parts due to overheating.
