INSTALLATION
1. Remove plywood shipping base bolts (see Aand B) and screw on feet
or afx self-adhesive rubber feet if provided.
CAUTION: Handle must be tied to base before moving or shipping.
ATTENTION: Immobiliser la poignée avant de trasporter.
2. Carefully cut tape/wrap holding machine closed.
3. Plug the machine into the correct grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, use 12 or 14 ga.-3 conductor.
Maximum length, 25’ (7.762 m).
ATTENTION: Utiliser des ralonges d’au moins 12 à 14 ga - 3 phases;
longueur maximale de 7.7 mètres.
4. Supply a clean (void of oils) and dry (void of water) air source of 100-
125 P.S.I. (6.8-8.5 bar) to the 1/4” NPT air inlet located on the left side
panel (as viewed from the front) of the machine. Requires 1-1/2 to 2
CFM. It is strongly recommended that an external air lter and water
trap be installed at the machine’s air inlet connection. Compressed air
is dirty. It has ‘stuff’, primarily moisture, residues from oil and smoke and
whatever else is in the air. Compressors or ‘shop air’ may have ltered
air and/or an “AIR DRYER” after the compressor. IF your air is not ltered
and dried, YOU MUST FILTER THE AIR and REMOVE THE WATER
AND ‘STUFF’ FROM THE AIR, before putting it in most air operated
machines, including our press. There are small valves and ports that can
become blocked from moisture and residue in compressed air, causing
your press to malfunction. An external air lter and water trap must be
installed at the machine’s air inlet connection, if your air is not ltered.
Damage to the machine’s internal air operated components can occur
that will not be covered under warranty. Combination air lter/water
traps are available at any major hardware store or may be purchased
directly from HIX (part #71145). Supply airline to be 3/8” minimum I.D.
up to 25’ run from the compressor. Supply runs longer than 25’ from
the compressor requires a ½” I.D. airline.
