4 Functions of the press
The presses are equipped with a manually operated hydraulic unit.
This includes the direction control valve / joystick and hand pump.
4.1 Manual operated hydraulic unit
4.1.1 On / Off switch
The on / off switch is situated at the front of the hydraulic tank.
Pushing the red button will stop the motor on the hydraulic
unit immediately. All parts will stay in the position they are
at that moment
pressing force is being applied to the work
piece. Unexpected force expansion when
restarting, can damage the machine or injure
the operator.
Fig. 14 On / Off switch
4.1.2 Emergency stop button
To restart the hydraulic unit again:
Make sure that the dangerous situation has been resolved.
Reset the red emergency stop button by turning it counter
clockwise, the button will pop-up again.
Push the green button from the on / off switch again.
Fig. 15 Emergency stop button
WARNING: NEVER turn off the machine when
Pushing the green button will start the motor on the
hydraulic unit. There will be no movement of any part
after the motor starts running.
The emergency stop button is located on top of the on / off switch.
Pushing the red emergency stop button in case of emergency will
stop the electric motor on the hydraulic unit immediately. All other
parts will stay in the same position they are at that moment.
4.1.3 Direction control valve
The direction control valve / joystick is located in the top cover of the hydraulic unit. The valve has 3
lever positions:
Middle position: if the lever has not been operated, the valve
will always return to this position. There is no movement of the
press ram.
Upper position: if the lever is positioned upwards, the press ram
of the cylinder will move upwards. As long as the valve is
operated, the press ram will move. When the lever is released,
the press ram will stop and stay in this position.
Fig. 16 Directional control valve
4.1.4 Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge is located in the head of the press. The gauge shows the pressure in psi & bars.
For the different types of presses the maximum pressure is as follows:
If this maximum pressure is reached, the maximum capacity of the press is reached as well.
4.1.5 Pressure control valve
Fig. 17 Pressure regulator
PressPro 66:
PressPro 110 & 110W:
PressPro 176:
3756psi (259 bar)
3742psi (258 bar)
3698psi (255 bar)
Lower position: if the lever is positioned downwards, the press
ram of the cylinder will move downwards. As long as the valve
is operated, the press ram will move. When the lever is
released, the press ram will stop and stay in this position. If
the press ram reaches its lowest position (end of the cylinder
stroke) the pressure of the cylinder will automatically drop to
almost zero, to prevent damages to the press ram head.
The pressure control valve is located in the top cover of
the hydraulic unit. The amount of force can be raised or
lowered with the pressure control valve. Turning the knob
clockwise will raise the pressure and turning the knob
counter clockwise will lower the pressure.
4.1.6 Speed setting valve
Fig. 18 Speed setting valve
4.1.7 Hand pump
The press is equipped with a hand pump, located on the front panel
of the hydraulic unit. This pump can be used for manual pressing
functions or when accurate force setting is necessary.
To use the hand pump:
Turn off the hydraulic unit by pushing the red button of the
on / off switch.
Start pumping the hand pump with its lever.
Fig. 19 Hand pump
The speed setting valve is located in the top
cover of the hydraulic unit. Moving the lever
forward will slow the press ram and moving it
backward will speed up the press ram. When
the press ram contacts the work piece it senses
the pressure change and will automatically
switch to low speed. This has no impact on the
maximum capacity of the press.
Adjusting the pressure:
Start the hydraulic unit.
Raise the press ram so no force is applied.
Turn the knob on the pressure control valve counter clockwise to lower the pressure.
Do not remove the knob!!
Note that it can be turned far enough to unscrew from the pressure control valve.
Lower the press ram to the work piece and keep force applied with the joystick.
Slowly turn the knob on the pressure control valve clockwise & carefully raise the
pressure while watching the pressure gauge.
Set the directional control valve (joystick) in the required
position (up-or downwards).

The pressure gauge is located in the head of the press. The gauge shows the pressure in psi & bars.
For the different types of presses the maximum pressure is as follows:
Pushing the red emergency stop button in case of emergency will stop the electric motor and the
hydraulic unit immediately. All other parts will stay in the same position they are at that moment.
The amount of force can be raised or lowered with the pressure control valve. Turning the knob
clockwise will raise the pressure and turning the knob counter clockwise will lower the pressure.
Note: Raise the press ram so no pressure is applied before lowering the pressure.
Turn the knob on the pressure control valve counter clockwise to lower the pressure.
Do not remove the knob!!
Note that it can be turned far enough to unscrew from the pressure control valve.
Lower the press ram to the work piece and keep force applied with the joystick.
Slowly turn the knob on the pressure control valve clockwise & carefully raise the
pressure while watching the pressure gauge.
The speed can be changed at any time and will change as the lever is moved.
The speed setting valve is located in the top cover of the hydraulic unit.
Moving the lever forward will slow the press ram and moving it backward will speed up the press ram.
When the press ram contacts the work piece it senses the pressure change and will automatically
switch to low speed. This has no impact on the maximum capacity of the press.
5 Getting started
To start the press for the first time, make sure:
The press is installed correctly (see former paragraphs).
The oil tank is filled with a sufficient amount of oil.
The hydraulic hoses are tightened correctly to the cylinder and to the hydraulic unit.
The machine is connected to the correct voltage & grounded per local code.
5.1 De-aerating the press
When starting up for the first time or when the hydraulic hoses have been disconnected from the
hydraulic unit or cylinder, the system need to be de-aerated. To do this:
Start with the piston in the upper position (as delivered condition).
Make sure there is no work piece on the table.
Start the hydraulic unit.
Move the piston to the down position by activating the directional control valve.
Move the piston back to the up position by activating the direction control valve.
Repeat this complete cycle at least 6 times to ensure that all the air is out of the system.
Note: incorrect de-aerating can cause unexpected movements of the piston and
cause the press to malfunction.
5.2 De-aerating the hand pump
When starting up for the first time or when maintenance of the hydraulic unit is performed, the hand
pump needs to be de-aerated. To do this:
Start with the piston in the upper position.
Make sure there is no work piece on the table.
Turn off the hydraulic unit by pushing the red button at the on / off switch.
Set the directional control valve in the downwards position.
Start pumping the hand pump with its lever until the piston reaches the lower position.
Set the directional control valve in the upwards position.
Start pumping the hand pump with its lever until the piston reaches the upper position.
Repeat this complete cycle at least 3 times to be sure all air is out of the hand pump.
Note: incorrect de-aerating can cause unexpected movements of the piston and
cause the press to malfunction.
5.3 Positioning of cylinder
Move the complete cylinder to the left or right by means of the bow grip (handle).
Tighten the levers again when the cylinder is in the right position. Manual tightening is enough.
Do not use a wrench - Do not over-tighten the levers.
When your work with the press is finished, move the cylinder back in its center position.
Turn both levers two turns counter clockwise to loosen. Do not completely remove the levers!!
All presses are equipped with a movable cylinder which makes it possible to correctly
aligned press ram with the work piece. To move the cylinder side to side:
Fig. 21 Moving the cylinder
Tip: working with the cylinder in the far left or far right position, will shorten
the durability of the press. Working in the center of the press is preferable.
5.4 Positioning the table
WARNING: NEVER try to lift the table with a work piece laying on the table. The work
piece can fall off the table and can damage the machine or seriously injure the
operator.
Lifting the table can by done by the hydraulic cylinder. There is a lifting chain provided with the press.
To move the table up or down:
Bow Grip (Handle)
Levers
Move the piston either up or down as needed in order to attach the lifting chains.
Place the lift chain bridge fully in the groove in the piston head, as shown in figure 22.
There is a hook on the left and right side of the press. They are attached to the steel shafts
used in the table as shown in figure 23. These shafts have a shallow groove machined in
the center where the hooks are to be located when lifting the table.
NOTE: Keep cylinder/piston centered in the press when moving the table.
Make sure the lifting chain has an equal number of chain links on both sides.
Fig. 22 Lifting chain bridge around piston head
Fig. 23 Lifting chain on table hook
Make sure the lifting hooks are positioned in the grooves in the middle of the shaft. They are
easy to move by hand.
The table will be lifted up from the blocking pins.
Take out both blocking pins and place them back in a lower or higher positioned hole,
depending on where you want to place the table. The table always needs to be higher than
the hole you want to place the blocking pin. It may be necessary to reach the desired table
position with more than one step.
Lower the table again until it rests on both the blocking pins and rings.
Remove the lifting chain from the press.
Fig. 24 Blocking pins
Note: make sure the blocking pins are positioned correctly. The ring on the pin
MUST be against frame before lowering table on to the pins. If not inserted fully it
may result in an angular, forward movement of the table. The machine can be

damaged or the operator can get injured.
When the ring on the blocking pin is up against the frame, it is placed correctly.
Only then is it safe to lower the table on to the pins as shown in figure 24.

Table
5.5 Regular use
Place the work piece on the table in alignment with the punch ram. If this is not possible, reposition the
cylinder to achieve the best alignment.
Note: upward movement of the piston is only allowed for adjustment of the table,
or returning the piston to its start position. Any other use of the return stroke
(e.g. stretching) can result in broken parts and a malfunction of the press.
When pressing operations are finished:
Return the piston back to its upper position.
Position the cylinder back to the center of the machine.
Turn off the hydraulic unit.
Clean the machine and working area.
5.6 Working period
The machine is not designed for continuous operation.
Use extreme caution when performing a press operation on parts that can possibly fly off, break (especially
cast parts and hardened parts) or bounce up as a result of the applied force. In this case, a proper guard
must be installed around the work piece or the operator should stand at a safe distance. After correct
placement of the work piece, pressing force can be applied as described in the previous chapters.
WARNING: always wear safety shoes, safety glasses, ear protection and
avoid loose fitting clothing to prevent injuries.
WARNING: when you do not take the maximum working period into account,
it can result in overheating the hydraulic oil and overheating the hydraulic unit.
The machine can be damaged and the operator may suffer burns.
Press can be used at its maximum tonnage rating for a total of two (2) cycles per
minute, for a maximum of 10 minutes - Then it should be allowed to cool down.
6 Servicing and maintenance

Note: replacing parts, electrical, mechanical or hydraulic, must be done by
qualified personnel. Scotchman Ind. can not be held responsible for damages
or injuries as result of inappropriate servicing.
In case of any leaks, damaged parts or bare electric cables; STOP using the machine.
Resume use of the machine only after it has been repaired.
Note: when performing maintenance, always follow OSHA Lockout-Tagout
Procedures. Make sure power is OFF and there is no hydraulic pressure in the
system. Both can result in injuries to the maintenance operator.
If there are any questions, please contact SCOTCHMAN IND. Phone: 1-800-843-8844 . Always mention
the serial number on the machine label. This label is located at the frame of the press (right side).
When you have questions about the hydraulic unit, also mention its serial number. The label is located
on the back of the hydraulic tank.
Change the hydraulic oil at least once a year. The drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil tank.
Check if the drained oil has a gray color or if there are metal particles visible in the oil. This can indicate
worn out parts in the cylinder or the hydraulic unit. If the inside of the tank is not clean, remove the top
cover from the tank and clean the inside of the tank. You must make sure no dirt or water gets inside
the oil tank as the hydraulic system is sensitive to contamination and can be damaged. See 3.6 on
page 13 for information on how to fill the system with oil.
