Transportation

The only proper way to lift this bender is by attaching
nylon or polyester slings or chain and hooks to the
lifting eyes. The bender head must be in the table-top
position as shown below with the 1-1/2" to 2" shoe up.
first assure that the jackscrews are retracted enough to
clear the terrain.
Pull out on the bender head pivot lock knob. If the pivot
lock knob cannot be pulled out far enough for the detent
pin to clear the frame, turn the knob clockwise until the
detent pin clears the frame. Rotate the bender head so
that the 1-1/2" to 2" shoe is up. Make sure that the
detent pin locks into position. Turn the pivot lock knob
counterclockwise until resistance is felt to lock the pin in
position.
To prevent the bender from rolling on its own, lower the
kickstand (optional). It is located between the two swivel
wheels. To set the kickstand, apply foot pressure to the
lever above the stand until it contacts the ground and
then push the bender away from you until it rolls up
onto the stand. To take the bender off the stand, push
down on the lever below the crossbar and pull the
bender toward you until it rolls off the stand.

Setup

When you reach your destination, lower at least two
jackscrews to prevent the unit from rolling. If desired, all
four jackscrews can be used to level the unit. Rotate the
bender head to the position you desire to bend in. To
rotate the bender head, pull out the round pivot lock
knob while pivoting the head in the desired direction.
If the knob is difficult to pull out, turn the knob clockwise
until it pushes against the frame to break it free. When
the bender is in the desired position, make sure the
detent pin fully engages in the hole. To reduce the
amount of free play in the bender head, turn the knob
counterclockwise until some resistance is felt.
Remove the pendant control from its storage area and
plug it into the four-pin pendant receptacle on the side of
the bender power head. This must be plugged in
before the bender is turned on or it will not operate.
Plug the power cord into a 120 VAC, 20 amp GFCI-
protected receptacle and turn the power switch on. Wait
until the display comes on before pressing any keys or
the bender will not operate.
