larger models should be used with a floor stand due to their size and weight. The ideal working
height of the press will vary depending on the operator. We suggest a height of 28 to 31 inches
(700 to 790 mm). It is critical that the lid of the press is able to open fully. Please be absolutely
sure that nothing interferes with this!
For proper operation, it is very important that the press be flat and level. The best way to verify
this is to use a carpenter's (bubble) level. If one corner of the unit is at a different height from the
others, it may be difficult to achieve a proper vacuum. For best results, we recommend that the
press be located away from air conditioning vents, fans
and other sources of moving air.
Unpacking: Carefully inspect the vacuum press for
possible shipping damage. If any is discovered, please
contact our Customer Service Department immediately. If
you are using a floor stand, unpack and assemble it
using the instructions provided. Remove the vacuum
press from the shipping carton and place it on the stand
or table. Leave room to make connections to the rear of
the unit.

Unpack and remove the vacuum pump from its box. The
pump should be placed on or near the floor. There are
suction cups on the bottom of the pump to help keep it in
place, since the pump vibrates during operation. The
pump will become warm during extended usage. If the
equipment is going to be used in a high-volume production
environment, please allow for adequate ventilation of the

Loosely fit the four tie bars to the ends of the stand (Illustration 4B), using the 16 M10 x 50 bolts,
32 x M10 plain washers and 16 M10 nuts. Tighten all nuts and bolts. Move stand into final position
and ensure that it is level by using the leveling spacers. The stand may be leveled by supporting
the low corner of the stand on the tie bar and removing the wheel. The leveling spacers can then
be inserted between the stand and the wheel assembly and the wheel assembly re-bolted to the
stand. Lower the stand back to the ground and re-check to make sure it is level.
WARNING: THIS OPERATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A MINIMUM OF SIX PEOPLE!
The correct functioning of your vacuum press cannot be guaranteed if the press is not
mounted securely onto the stand and the press leveled.
