WARNING
•
Once both ends have made contact, move as far away as possible and continue to slowly apply
pressure to the damaged area until the desired bend has been made. CAUTION Keep hands
away from contact areas and tight spaces. The tool may slip and cause injury.
•
When the damaged area has been bent to the desired position, slowly turn the Release Valve
(26) counter-clockwise to release the hydraulic pressure and remove the Ram (B) or Spreader
(C).
•
Clean all hydraulic ports and cover them with clean Dust Covers to prevent contamination and
damage.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
Keep the surface of this tool and its accessories free of hydraulic fluid and grease. Use only a
mild detergent and damp cloth when cleaning. Do not use a flammable or combustible solvent to
clean this tool or its accessories.
•
Before each use, examine the general condition of the tool and its accessories. Check for loose
components, misalignment, binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other condition that
may affect its safe operation. Do not use a damaged tool or its damaged accessories.
•
Keep hydraulic connections clean. Clean all hydraulic ports and replace Dust Covers immediately

•
Store the Pump (A) with the Release Valve (26) open.
FILLING AND BLEEDING HYDRAULIC FLUID
lf the Pump (A) operation feels spongy, or the Ram (B) lowers while the Release Valve (26) is closed,
there may be air in the Pump. Bleed the Pump as follows:
1. Set Pump (A) flat on a level surface.
2. Remove the Fill Screw (16). The Seal Ring (15) should come off with it.
3. The fluid level should be near the bottom of the opening. lf required, add high grade hydraulic
fluid.
4. Make sure the Seal Ring (15) is still in place around the Fill Screw (16) and thread the Fill Screw
into the Pump securely. Do not use thread seal tape.
5. Firmly close the Release Valve (26) by turning it clockwise.
6. Press the tip of the Coupler (22) against a hard surface and pump the pump handle.
7. Continue pumping, until the hydraulic fluid coming out the end of the Coupler tip is free of air
bubbles.
8. Recheck the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
9. Turn the Release Valve counter-clockwise to release the pressure in the Pump and Hose.
CHANGING HYDRAULIC FLUID
1. Change the hydraulic fluid yearly.
2. Remove the Fill Screw (16) and tilt the Pump (A) to drain out the old fluid.
3. Refill the hydraulic fluid and bleed the system several times to ensure all air is out of the system.
