E. Removing Conduit
1. After a bend is complete, pull the release lever back.
2. Move the ratchet handle up until the pawls “click”
together and release the shoe teeth, figure 13.
3. Place foot on conduit. Keep your knee away from the
handle.
4. Pull down firmly on the ratchet handle. A sharp click
will be heard when the pawls release.
5. Remove the shoe jaw. Remove the conduit from the
bending shoe.
6. If the conduit will not slip out of the bending shoe,
place the pipe handle in the bending shoe, figure 14.
7. Hold the conduit against the soft roller, at the same
time push the pipe upward, moving the shoe counter-
clockwise. The conduit will be forced out of the shoe.
Note: Removing 2" conduit requires removing the
follow bar prior to removing the conduit.
Maintenance (Performed Monthly)
1. Use heavy duty grease to coat the soft roller inner
bearings and roller shaft.
2. The roller mounting holes and ratchet mounting
holes in the frame should be coated with a film of
lightweight oil.
3. Lightly coat the shoe pivot shaft (on the frame)
with grease.
4. Oil the wheel axles and the moving points of the
ratchet handle.
5. Do not lubricate threaded shafts or hardware pieces
(cotter pins, nuts, etc.).
