Hydraulic Pipe Bender
Changing
Once a year, or more often with heavy use or use in
dusty conditions, the hydraulic oil should be changed.
Place the pump end of the hydraulic cylinder in a container
to collect the hydraulic oil as it is drained. Directly under
the cylinder is a plug (Figure 19) . Remove the plug, filter
spring and filter and allow the hydraulic fluid to drain.
Open the oil vent cap and raise the ram end of the cylin-
der slightly to improve drainage. Complete drainage may
take up to several hours. Properly dispose of the used
hydraulic oil per the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
and local requirements.
Figure 19 – Hydraulic Oil Drain Plug and Access to Filter
Clean the filter by rinsing in clean hydraulic oil. Re-install
the clean or new filter, spring and plug. Fill the bender with
new hydraulic oil following the instructions for adding
hydraulic oil. Operate the bender through several cycles
to remove air from the system and check the hydraulic oil
level.
