Troubleshooting
Component is not stable on the support block.
Ensure all adjustable columns are firmly in place and making solid contact. Utilize the adjustable spacer block to create additional support points for uneven components. Double-check that the safety retaining screws are engaged if your press allows.
Difficulty aligning the component for pressing.
Loosen the adjustable columns slightly to allow for minor repositioning of the component. Ensure the base block is clean and free of debris that might cause uneven seating.
Pressing operation seems uneven or jerky.
Verify that the component is properly seated on the support block and that all support points are engaged. Check the hydraulic press for proper function and fluid levels. Ensure the block itself is not tilting under load.
Visible wear or damage on the support block or columns.
Cease use immediately and inspect the damaged area. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for repair or replacement assessment. Do not use the product if any part is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Place the base block onto the bed of your hydraulic press.
- Position the component requiring pressing onto the block, ensuring it is centered.
- Adjust the steel threaded columns to support the component evenly, applying light pressure to seat it.
- If needed, use the adjustable spacer block to provide additional contact points for uneven surfaces.
- Secure the block and component using the integrated safety retaining screws if applicable to your press setup.
Compatibility:
This support block is designed for use with standard hydraulic workshop presses. Its dimensions (285mm L x 200mm W x 50mm D) and 50-tonne rating make it compatible with most heavy-duty presses. It is particularly useful for tasks involving vehicle hubs, bearing races, and suspension components.
Care:
- After use, clean the block with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris and grease.
- Inspect the threaded columns and spacer block for any signs of damage or excessive wear before each use.
- Store the support block in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, although the aluminium construction is highly resistant.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminium surface.
