SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•During assembly or if the press is moved, ALWAYS use a lifting appliance -

crane or hoist etc., do not man handle.

• The press MUST BE located on firm level ground, or a sturdy workbench, with

adequate light. The operator must never work in his/her own shadow.

• Before applying a load, be certain that all press bed support pins are fully

engaged, and the hydraulic ram is fully located into the ram mount. Ensure

also that hydraulic hoses and couplings are completely sound.

• Before use always ensure the workpiece is firmly secure and stable.

• Always clean spills of hydraulic oil immediately as this can be extremely

dangerous in a workshop environment.

• Do not exceed the rated capacity.

• Do not allow any person, who is inexperienced in the use of hydraulic presses,

to use the machine unless they are under direct supervision.

• Do not allow anyone to work directly in front of the machine when it is in use.

• Never tamper with the machine. The safety valve is calibrated and sealed at

the factory, do not attempt to change these settings.

•UseONLY the recommended hydraulic oil.

• Never use the machine for any purpose other than that for which it is

designed.

• Components of this press are specially designed to withstand the rated

capacity. Do not substitute bolts, pins, or any other components.

• Always apply the load on the centre of ram plunger. Offset loads can

damage the ram or ram mount and may cause work piece to eject.

• Before operating, check for signs of cracked welds, bent bed pins, loose or

missing bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these

conditions exist. Have repairs made only by authorised service centres.

• Remove all loads from press bed before attempting to adjust bed height.

Beware of possible falling bed.

• Press only on a work piece supported by the press bed.

• When using accessories such as arbor plates, be certain they are centered

on press bed, and are in full contact with the bed.

• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter, or be ejected from the press. Due to

varied applications, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards,

wear eye protection and heavy protective clothing when operating this press.

• Keep hands and fingers out of the press and away from the parts that may

pinch and shift.

• It is the owners responsibility to keep warning decals legible and intact.

Replacement decals may be obtained from Clarke International Spare Parts

Dep’t.

• Failure to heed these warnings may result in damage to the equipment, or

failure resulting in property damage, personal, or even fatal injury.

• NEVER operate the ram without the bed locating pins fully in place.

• DO NOT use extension tubes on the pump handle. Excessive effort can cause

severe damage.

ASSEMBLY

A. CSA10F

Fig.1

HYDRAULIC PUMP/RAM OPERATION

Ensure the press and its components

suffered no damage during transit.

Should any damage be apparent,

contact your Clarke dealer

immediately.

1. Attach the feet and foot struts

to the side supports using the

nuts, bolts and washers

provided, leaving them finger

tight.

2. Raise the assembly and rock it

to ensure that no part is under

stress and that the structure is

completely stable before

tightening all nuts securely.

3. Feed the ram assembly down

through the hole in the top

plate and screw it fully into the

threaded hole in the bottom

plate. The pressure gauge at

this point should be facing the

front.

4. Attach the pump assembly to

the frame by hooking the front

edge into the recess in one

end of the pump platform and

securing at the opposite end

with the screws provided.

Finally, screw on the hose

assembly to the ram inlet.

Your Hydraulic Press is now ready

for use.

1. Bolt the feet to the side

members using the nuts

bolts and washers provided.

2. Bolt on the top and bottom

plates in the manner shown

in fig. 2 , ensuring the bottom

plate is that with the

threaded hole at its centre.

Do not fully tighten the nuts.

3. Feed the ram assembly

down through the hole in

the top plate and screw it

fully into the threaded hole

in the bottom plate. The

pressure gauge at this point

should be facing the front.

Centralise the ram between

the top rails before

tightening the securing bolts

It is strongly recommended that

the Bench Press be securely

bolted to a sturdy workbench

Fig.2

The pump is provided with handwheel , which opens or closes a valve in the pump

to raise the ram or lower it under pressure.

Turn the handwheel clockwise and pump the handle to operate (or lower) the

ram. Turning the handwheel anticlockwise releases the pressure and the ram will

rise.

HYDRAULIC PUMP/RAM OPERATION

B. CSA10B

OPERATION

1. Position the bed to the desired height, so as it will be as close as possible to the

ram when the workpiece is mounted.

Raise one side of the bed, and insert a pin into a locating hole directly

beneath the bed. Repeat the process at the other side, until the bed is level

and at the desired height, with the pins fully ‘home’.

2. The workpiece is placed on top of the bed, or on top of the arbour, or clover

leaf, plate and must be completely stable. To achieve this you must use

packing or shims where required.

NOTE: Any packing pieces or shims used, MUST be capable of withstanding the

extreme pressure that will be brought to bear, and MUST be of sufficient size with

sufficient surface contact, so as to avoid the possibility of slipping or springing

taking place. Mating surfaces MUST be horizontal so that the force being exerted

will be vertical and NOT at an angle.

3. Two Mandrels are provided, either of which should be screwed to the end of

the Ram, depending upon the size of workpiece bearing surface. One of

these is ‘stepped’ and is shown fitted at B1, Figs.1 and 2. The other has a larger

bearing surface area and is shown at B2.

3. Turn the Pump Handwheel, fully clockwise and pump the handle to bring the

ram very lightly into contact with the workpiece.

Manoeuvre the workpiece so that the desired point of contact is directly

beneath the centre of the ram.

4. When satisfied that the workpiece is correctly lined up and is completely

stable in that position, slowly pump the handle so that the ram begins to exert

pressure on the workpiece.

Continue to pump the handle, whilst standing to the side of the press (DO

NOT stand directly in front of the work), and constantly monitor the process,

ensuring the ram and work remain completely in line, and there is no risk of

slipping.

5. When the process is complete, turn the Pump Handwheel anticlockwise to

release ram pressure

MAINTENANCE

A Visual inspection must be made before each use of the press, checking for

leaking hydraulic fluid, and damaged, loose or missing parts.

Owners and/or users should be aware that repair of this equipment may require

specialised knowledge and facilities. It is recommended that a thorough annual

inspection of the press be made and that any defective parts, decals or warning

labels be replaced with genuine Clarke parts.

Any press which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn,

or operates abnormally SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs

are made.

• Periodically check the press frame to make sure all bolts are tight and inspect

for cracked welds, bent, loose or missing parts.

• Periodically check the hydraulic connections for possible leaks. Replace or

properly repair damaged or leaking hydraulic components before using.

• Periodically apply a light smear of oil to the moving parts and the bed support

pins.

• If oil leaks, caused by a loose union/connection etc., have been repaired,

check the hydraulic pump oil level, by removing the pump from its mounting,

holding it vertically on its nose, and removing the filler/dipstick, shown at ‘A’,

Fig.1. Top up if necessary to the level on the dipstick, with CLARKE Hydraulic

Oil, Part No. 3050830 only.

This operation is carried out with the ram fully retracted.

• Replace the Hydraulic oil every TWO years. This operation requires the

dismantling of the hydraulic system, for which you should consult your CLARKE

dealer.
