Clarke 7615153 AHP55 50 Tonne Hydraulic Press F.A.Q.

How do I safely set up the Clarke AHP55 50 Tonne Hydraulic Press for first-time use?

Ensure the press is placed on a stable, level surface. Check all connections for leaks, inspect hoses for damage, and ensure the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and always wear appropriate safety gear.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the Clarke AHP55?

Perform a visual inspection of the press before each use. Monthly, check hydraulic fluid levels and inspect for leaks. Annually, change the hydraulic fluid and inspect the press for wear and tear, replacing any damaged components as needed.

How do I troubleshoot low pressure issues in the hydraulic press?

First, check the hydraulic fluid level and top it up if necessary. Inspect for leaks in the system and ensure all connections are tight. If the issue persists, check the pressure relief valve settings and consult the manual for further troubleshooting steps.

What safety precautions should I take when operating the hydraulic press?

Always wear protective eyewear and gloves. Ensure the workpiece is properly centered and secured. Never place hands or any body parts under the press when in operation, and be aware of pinch points.

How can I bleed air from the hydraulic system of the AHP55 press?

To bleed air, fully extend the ram without any load, then open the bleed valve slightly to allow trapped air to escape. Once air ceases to come out, close the bleed valve securely. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines when bleeding the system.

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

Check for any visible leaks or damaged seals. Ensure the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level. Inspect the pump for proper operation and verify that the pressure relief valve is set correctly. Consult the manual for specific troubleshooting instructions if the problem persists.

Can I use the Clarke AHP55 to press bearings?

Yes, the Clarke AHP55 is suitable for pressing bearings. Ensure the bearings are properly aligned and use appropriate pressing tools to avoid damage. Follow all safety procedures during the operation.

What type of hydraulic fluid is recommended for the Clarke AHP55?

Use high-quality hydraulic oil that meets ISO VG 32 specifications or equivalent, as recommended in the user manual. Always refer to the specific guidelines provided by Clarke for the best performance.

How do I replace the hydraulic fluid in my Clarke AHP55 press?

First, safely relieve any pressure in the system. Drain the old fluid by removing the drain plug, then replace it and fill with new hydraulic fluid through the fill port to the recommended level. Dispose of the old fluid responsibly.

What should I check if the press is making unusual noises during operation?

Unusual noises may indicate air in the system, low hydraulic fluid levels, or worn components. Check for air in the hydraulic lines, ensure fluid levels are correct, and inspect for any worn or damaged parts. Address any issues before continuing use.
