OPERATION

SETTING UP AND OPERATING PIPE BENDER

This pipe bender is designed to bend water pipes and heavy gauge galvanized pipes. If you

need to bend conduits or thin walled pipes, fill the pipe with sand or similar material and cap

both ends before bending, this will limit kinks and creases.

lways use the pipe bender and jack in the upright position on a level surface capable of

supporting the weight of the pipe bender. Depending on the length of your pipe, make sure

here is sufficient space on both sides.

1) Chose the appropriate bending die (A) Fig.1 which matches the diameter of the pipe you

wish to bend. Position the chosen bending die on the ram of the jack as shown.

2) Next, both rollers (A) Fig.2 need to be adjusted. The bend radius is determined by the

position of the rollers and the height of the jack before operating. To make a 30-45

bend,

position the rollers between the far outsides mounting holes on the frame. To make a 90

bend, position the rollers between the mounting holes closest to the ram. Positioning the

rollers further inside the frame increases the bending angle.

3) To adjust roller position, remove both locking pins (A) Fig.3 from the roller bars (B). Slide

roller bars out of the rollers and remove rollers.

4) Place the pipe to be bent on top of the bending die. The rollers can be mounted in 6

different mounting holes in the frame. See step #2 to see which mounting holes would be

appropriate to use to reinstall the rollers (keep in mind that the top of the pipe to be bent

should rest against the bottom of both rollers).

5) Remove the pipe from the bending die.

6) Hold a roller in the chosen position between the frame, slide roller bar (B) Fig.2 through

the hole in front of the frame and secure roller (A) Fig.2 using the locking pin (A) Fig.3.

Repeat this step for the second roller

7) Slide the pipe to bend between the bending die and rollers. See Fig.4.

8) It is recommended to practice on scrap material first, this will help you determine the

perfect setting for the bending operation at hand.

SETTING UP AND OPERATING PIPE BENDER continued.....

) Using the slotted end of the jack handle (A) Fig.5, tighten the release valve (B) by

turning it clockwise.

10) Insert the jack handle (A) Fig.6 into the jack sleeve (B) and pump it up and down to

raise the jack and bend the pipe.

11) Once the pipe has been bent to the desired angle, remove the jack handle from the jack

sleeve and use it to open the release valve by turning it counterclockwise. This will

release the pipe from the pipe bender, your pipe can now be removed.

12) If the ram reaches the end of its stroke but has not completed the bend, release the

pressure enough to remove the pipe. Reposition the rollers one or two mounting holes

closer in to finish the bend.

MAINTENANCE

1) Clean the pipe bender with a dry cloth and periodically lubricate the joints and all

moving parts with a light oil as needed.

2) When not in use, store the pipe bender in a dry location with the jack of the cylinder fully

retracted.

3) Check hydraulic oil. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every 3 years. To change

hydraulic oil, remove the oil fill cap (A) Fig.7 on the rear of the pump, tilt pipe bender and

drain hydraulic oil. Dispose of used hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.

4) Fill the oil fill hole with high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil just begins to run out of oil fill hole (approximately 650ml). Replace

the oil fill cap.

Note: Too much oil will force surplus oil to leak from the oil fill plug. Too little oil will cause loss of power.

5) Pump the jack to its maximum extension (fully extended), then retract the ram to expel air in the jack.
