Attach the cylinder to a hydraulic pump or power cube and contract the cylinder at least 1".

Stand up the frame so the press feet are facing down.

Insert the Soil loading drawer on top of the horizontal members so that the press plate is facing the press feet.

If the drawer doesn't fit because of the spacers, you welded them too close. Grind off the tacks and tack them a little higher.

Position the drawer so that the press plate will be fully contacted by the press feet.

Bolt the drawer members on snugly.
