Replacement

Transportation

Make sure that the handle is properly installed and
secured with the safety spring clips and snap pins
before lifting or moving the bender. An improperly
installed handle could allow the bender to fall,
injuring nearby personnel.
Failure to observe this warning could result in
severe injury or death.
The only proper way to lift this bender is by attaching a
nylon or polyester sling around the storage spindle. The
sling should extend between the handle and main frame
of the bender so that the handle acts as a guide for the
sling, as shown.
Make sure that all components used to lift this bender
are properly rated for the 167 kg (368 lb) weight. Use a
ramp to load and unload from a truck or other vehicle
that is not equipped with a lift gate.
