Elec-Draulic II Presses
SETTING UP THE PRESS FOR OPERATION
For shipping convenience some of the parts are not assembled. Assemble these parts in the following order:
1. Bolt the base angles to uprights using four bolts and nuts, which are provided. Make sure base
angles are against stops on uprights.
NOTE: The press should set on a level floor with the base angles touching the floor at all
points. Use shims where necessary.
2. Switch box is mounted on left upright. Have electrician connect switch to power line. Pump can rotate
in either direction.
3.
4. Oil Requirements: Fill reservoir thru street elbow at back of press with Mobil DTE oil No. 24 or
equivalent. NOTE: Oil level may be checked (with ram up) by removing the pipe plug on the
right side of reservoir near the front. Replace plug before operating the press.
Model 8-025 uses 3 gallons
Model 8-050 uses 3 gallons
Model 8-075 uses 3 gallons
Model 8-150 uses 10 gallons
5. Attach nose piece to ram by inserting shank into ram and tightening the set screw.
6. CAUTION! Place the hoist crank on the lift drum shaft. The table is raised to the desired height
by turning the crank after removing the table pins. Check to make sure the hoist cable is
tracking correctly. Run the table channels from top to bottom. The cable should be on each of
the two upper pulleys and should track back and forth on the cable drum. Always place table
pins under the table channels when servicing or tracking the cable. If a tracking problem
exists, contact the Dake factory for instructions. Be sure all table pins are fully inserted in
place before applying pressure. Always remove or release pressure on the cable before
pressure is applied.
OPERATIONS
The press has been completely tested at the factory and after setting up according to instructions above, the
press is ready for operation. However, it is necessary for the operator to acquaint themselves with the
controls.
1. Handcrank is provided to raise and lower table channels to proper height for work. When desired
height is obtained insert table pins. Models 8-025 and 8-050 use 2 pins on each side (4 total) and
Models 8-075 and 8-150 use 3 pins on each side (6 total).
NOTE: Be sure all table pins are in place and in as far as they can go before pressure is applied,
also slack off on the cable.
2. The two table plates and two V-blocks are used for supporting the work in process.
3. The control handle on the right side of the press is used for operation of the press. When the control
handle is held in the down position, the ram will move down. When the control handle is held in the up
position, the ram will move up. Upon release, the control handle will return to the neutral position and
ram motion will stop. Pressure builds upon contact with the work. It is not necessary to stop the motor
after each operation.
