PROdUCt deSCRIPtIOn
This Shop Press is designed for automotive, truck, implement, fleet, and industrial repair shops where pressing, bending, straightening and forming, is required. Typical applications include installation and removal of alternator and power steering pump bearings, axle bearings, transmission bearings, seals, u-joints and others. It is not intended for use as an assembly table or as fixture stand used to secure a large, final assembly component. The pump on this press must be equipped with a pressure gauge so that loading may be monitored at all times. This gauge shall be calibrated annually.

Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega technical service (888) 332-6419.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation of hand pump, turn the release valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘ CLOSed’ release valve position used to
extend the ram.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 full turn from the closed position. This is the ‘ OPen’ release valve
position used to retract the ram.
4. With release valve opened, remove the oil filler screw. Ensure the oil level is within 1/4" (6mm) of the opening.
Reinstall the oil filler screw.

WARNING
• Study, understand, and follow all printed materials provided with/on this product before use.
• do not exceed rated capacity.
• Burst hazard exists if hose or connection pressure exceeds rated pressure.
• Use the device only on a hard, level surface.
• Always wear safety goggles when working on or near this equipment.
• Always install and monitor an in-line, calibrated pressure gauge while operating.
• Always inspect hoses and connections for damage prior to use.
• Keep hands, feet and all other body parts away from loading area.
• Never leave loaded press unattended.
• Projectile hazard! Ensure workpiece is center loaded, and a safety shield is installed around workpiece to protect against projectiles.
• Do not modify this device beyond installing a shield to protect against projectiles.
• Ensure the user is familiar with the controls and operational characteristics of this product and aware of the potential hazards associated with its use.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
OPeRAtIOn
!
Projectile Hazard! Wear ANSI approved eye protection. Never stand directly in front of loaded press.
Ensure that workpiece is center-loaded and secure. Reduce risk of flying debris by carefully following all operating instructions. Know your press and hazards associated with its use.
Crush Hazard! Keep hands and feet from bed area at all times.
1. Insert the support pins to desired height, then lower the bed. Ensure bed frame is fully rested on the support pins.
2. Place arbor plates on the bed frame as needed.
3. Place workpiece on bed frame, using every precaution necessary to ensure your safety and prevent property damage. Position workpiece in a manner which will not allow it to inadvertently fall from bed.
4. Close release valve by turning it clockwise firmly, and pump the handle to extend the ram until ram nears workpiece.
5. Align ram and workpiece to ensure center-loading.
6. Apply load to workpiece by pumping handle. do not overload workpiece, monitor the pressure gauge and calcualte the applied load using the following formula as basic guideline: Force = Pressure X Area
1. Effective Area of models 60123, 65123= 2.41 in ² 2. Effective Area of model 60253= 5.14 in²
Problem 1: Determine the applied load in lbs. force on a workpeice being pressed by a 60123 whose pressure gauge is reading 5000 psi.
Solution 1: 9000 X 2.41= 21,690 lbsf
Problem 2: Determine the applied load in lbs. force on a workpeice being pressed by a 60253 whose pressure gauge is reading 2200 psi.
Solution 2: 2200 X 5.14= 11,308 lbsf
7. Stabilize workpiece in a manner which will not allow it to inadvertently fall from the bed once the load is removed,
then turn release valve counter-clockwise to retract the ram and remove workpiece. Do not turn the release valve counter-clockwise more a 1 full turn.
note: To protect your ram, do not continue to operate pump after it is fully extended or retracted.

Before each use, inspect press for damage. Do not use if bent, broken, cracked, leaking or otherwise damaged components are noted. Periodically, lightly oil all moving parts, including the pump piston and ram.
Adding/Changing oil to hand pump
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the ram and pump and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent recommended.
For best results, change fluid once a year.
1. Depressurize and disconnect hydraulic hose from application.
2. Remove oil filler screw located on top of the reservoir.
3. Pour used fluid into a sealable container.
note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
4. With pump in its upright, horizontal position, use a small funnel to fill reservoir to within 1/4” (6 mm) of the opening.
5. Wipe up any spilled fluid and reinstall the vented oil filler plug.
R ust prevention
Check ram and hand pump piston for signs of rust on a regular basis. Clean as needed with a lint free, oil saturated cloth. Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surface.
How to remove faulty coupler:
If ram does not retract: Depressurize pump and hose, then remove the ram from application. Disconnect and replace with new coupler.
Important: Do not attempt to grasp ram with pliers or wrench without first wrapping the jaws of such tool with rags or similar padding.
How to bleed air from system:
1. Place pump at a higher elevation than the hose and ram as shown in figure 4.
2. Operate pump to fully extend and retract the ram 2 or 3 times.
The objective is to force the air bubbles up hill and back to the pump reservoir.
3. To bleed the air from pump reservoir, simply open the oil filler screw. Re-install after bleeding.
