I think I had better ask him which power switch will be nearest to the enormous bang if it all goes horribly wrong. Want to use the one furthest away so I don't leap out of my skin.

Once switched on my plan of action is to persuade someone else to touch it and see if they get a shock.

Next, the instructions say to cycle the main 5.5kW motor and see if it goes the right way round. Not sure if I want to do the button pushing or the looking.

When that's done I will stop and plumb in the hydraulic oil chiller before I start moving the rams. I've bought a half horsepower suds pump to drive the coolant, 1 litre per second with a 6 foot lift sounds about right. I'm going to start by pumping a weak sulphamic acid solution to descale it. I removed a lot of lime scale from the flow control valves so the rest of the circuits are probably in need of a clean up.

This will either be great fun or abject disappointment. I'll let you know...

I'll voluntere my Ex -wife!!. . . Plus if she unfortunatly survives she spits pure nasty Acid so can descale the machine at same time..:surprised: . . . . I Drink guiness I'm not bitter honest. .:whistling:


WTF is it your powering up with 5.5Kw motors rams, oil chillers and fire engine suds pump.?

Ah! That last message might have made more sense if I hadn't forgotten to mention that little detail. Oops, beg pardon! :whistling:

Wish it was something exciting like a mega-machining centre or a killer robot that would be keen. It's just an old injection moulder 20gm shot weight, 25 ton closing.
