 WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the press. A full range of personal safety equipment is available
from your Sealey stockist.
8 DO NOT top up hydraulic unit with brake fluid, or any other fluid other than a good quality hydraulic oil (Sealey Part Number:
HJO500MLS/HJO5LS) as this may cause serious damage to the hydraulic unit and will invalidate the warranty.
 WARNING! Always position the press against a wall. If the press is situated in the open workshop, it is essential that a guard be
placed at the rear of the unit. This will prevent injury to bystanders in the event of the workpiece ejecting suddenly.
 WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be applied by the operator.
▲ DANGER! The press is top heavy. If it requires moving after assembly or for relocation, use suitable slings around the top crossbeam,
or lift direct with a forklift with the forks located under the top crossbeam. DO NOT use a pallet truck.
2. i INTRODUCTION
Detachable pump and ram allowing hydraulics to be used for other purposes when press is not in use. Supplied with gauge.
▲ DANGER! Models are purpose designed to withstand greater loads than the hydraulic units can develop. For safety reasons, always
ensure the workpiece and press tools are secured on the table and will not flex or suddenly “give way” causing danger to operator or the
component.
