1. Lay out all of the pieces in front of you in an organized fashion so that you can easily
access them throughout assembly.
2. Start at the bottom by assembling the base sections to the frame supports, followed by
the bottom frame support and the base section supports. Use the bolts, washers, and
nuts as numbered in the parts diagram.
3. At this stage, place the base of your press in the location where it will be used, and bolt
it to the floor using appropriate hardware (not included) using the pre-drilled holes in the
base sections. Appropriate hardware will be dependent on what type of floor you are
ensure that your base is stable prior to proceeding with the assembly.
4. Next, install the upper beam using the bolts, washers, spring washers, and nuts as shown
in the parts diagram. BeFore tIGHtenInG FUllY: check to make sure the assembly
is square.
5. Put your support pins into the holes on the frame posts. Note: put them somewhere below
the top holes in the initial set up so that you have room to install your jack plate.
6. Set the press apron on top of your support pins — you will have to angle the press apron
to make it fit inside your frame posts, leveling it out as you lower it onto the support pins.
7. Secure the eye bolts to the jack plate PRIOR to installation of the jack plate. Then, put the
jack plate (with eye bolts installed) onto the press apron — you will again have to angle
it initially to make it fit between your frame posts, leveling it out as you lower it onto the
press apron.
8. Hang your springs onto the spring hangers on the upper beam.
9. Be sure to check fluid levels, bleed, and fully test your bottle jack prior to installation.
10. Place the bottle jack on the center of the jack plate, aligning it with the two mounting
holes. Secure it with the two bolts as shown in the parts diagram.
11. Now, slide your jack plate into place and secure the springs to the eye bolts. Note: the
bottle jack will fit in the bracket on the bottom of the upper beam.
General oPeratInG InstrUCtIons
1. Use the Support Pins (10) to adjust the height of the Press Apron (19).
note; The Press Apron should be in the highest position possible with the workpiece as
close as possible to the ram of the Jack Plate (17).
2. Place the item to press on the Arbor Plates (18). Turn the Arbor Plates to support the
stationary part of the workpiece.
WarnInG! Make sure there is no obstruction (such as a stray bolt or debris) under the
