HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the press is on a level, stable surface. Connect the air supply to the dual air motor if using pneumatic operation, ensuring working air pressure is between 110-125 PSI.
2. Adjust Bed Height: Use the heavy-duty cable winch system to effortlessly raise or lower the press bed to the desired working height. Secure the bed firmly using the bed pins.
3. Position Workpiece: Carefully place the workpiece on the press bed or on the included press plates/V-blocks. Utilize the lateral head adjuster to position the pressing head directly over the target area if needed.
4. Select Accessories: Choose the appropriate pin or bearing press adapter from the 10-piece set, or use the 2-piece press plate set, depending on the specific pressing task.
5. Initiate Pressing: Operate the pump handle for manual hydraulic action or engage the dual air motor for faster pneumatic pressing. Monitor the large liquid-filled glycerin gauge to observe the applied force.
6. Monitor and Stop: Continuously observe the pressing process and the force gauge. Stop pressing once the desired result is achieved or the required force is reached.
7. Release Pressure: Retract the ram to release pressure and remove the workpiece.
