hydraulic system.
• All exposed machine surfaces of the press should be brushed clean and wiped with a lubricant,
such as WD-40
• Regularly clean the press chamber to remove any accumulated sludge, metal particles, or other
debris that could affect operation.
• Keep the breather hole and oil drain (on underside of reservoir base) free of accumulation of debris;
remove any materials that may be clogging the drain.
• Inspect for leaks and drain the approved waste oil container in accordance with all local, state, and
federal regulations.
• Lubricate the sliding door on a regular basis to prevent the door from binding.
• Keep the red Stop button clean and in working order.
