Clarke 7613020 CSA12F 12 Tonne Hydraulic Press F.A.Q.

How do I safely operate the Clarke 7613020 CSA12F 12 Tonne Hydraulic Press?

Ensure the press is on a stable surface. Wear appropriate safety gear like gloves and goggles. Align the workpiece properly and operate the press using the manual lever, keeping clear of moving parts.

What should I do if the hydraulic press is not building pressure?

Check the hydraulic fluid level and refill if necessary. Inspect for leaks in the system and ensure all connections are tight. Bleed the system to remove any trapped air.

How often should I change the hydraulic fluid in the Clarke 7613020 CSA12F?

It is recommended to change the hydraulic fluid every 12 months or after 500 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

What kind of hydraulic fluid is suitable for use in this press?

Use a high-quality, anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of ISO 32 or ISO 46. Refer to the user manual for specific recommendations.

How can I troubleshoot a leaking hydraulic cylinder?

Inspect the seals and O-rings for damage and replace if needed. Tighten any loose fittings and ensure the cylinder rod is not scratched or bent.

What is the correct way to store the Clarke 7613020 CSA12F when not in use?

Lower the ram completely to avoid stress on the hydraulic system. Store in a dry, clean area, and cover the press to protect it from dust and debris.

Why is the press's ram moving slowly or erratically?

Check for low hydraulic fluid levels or contamination in the fluid. Ensure there are no obstructions in the hydraulic lines and inspect the pump for proper operation.

How do I maintain the alignment of the press bed and ram?

Regularly check and adjust the alignment bolts on the press frame. Ensure the workpieces are centered and evenly distributed to prevent misalignment.

Can I use the press for bending operations, and if so, how?

Yes, the press can be used for bending by employing appropriate bending dies. Ensure the workpiece is securely positioned and apply pressure gradually to achieve the desired bend.

What regular checks should be performed to ensure the press is in good working order?

Regularly inspect the press for any signs of wear or damage, check for leaks, ensure all bolts are tight, and verify that the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level and condition.
