You will need to ship the ram back to the factory for new seals every 5- 10 years depending upon use. It must be shipped in this crate.

Universal Tooling Plate (UTP) 3. 10’ remote switch 4. - Page 4 Figure 5 Figure 4 The 55 ton pro is shipped with the UTP (1) in place on the ram’s head. It is used for most applications. If the UTP is ever removed for other applications you must insure that the steel ram puck (2) is in place at all times.

- Page 7 tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors, the paper fails in shear. Fracturing: This type of deformation is also irreversible. A break occurs after the material has reached the end of the elastic, and then plastic, deformation ranges.
- Page 8 Above is an example of forces applied to 1215 alloy steel. All samples were 1” diameter X 1” tall. #1 is unpressed, #2 55 tons, #3 70 tons, #4 100 tons. This sample of steel went beyond its yield strength at approximately 25 tons. Above is an example of forces applied to 360 alloy brass.
- Page 9 Tips for Using your Hydraulic Press Always keep the Polycarbonate safety doors in place. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD. Things can always break under the pressures that you are working with. Do not use small daps or punches with urethane pads, it ruins the pad by cutting it, and the punch can eject out of the press if pressure was excessive.
