Assembly
For additional information regarding the parts
listed in the following pages, refer to the parts
diagram.
1. Mount the Frame(1#) on the floor using four
lag bolts (not supplied). The floor must be level,
solid and capable of supporting the weight of
this Stand, the weight of the Metal Shrinker/
Stretcher, your work materials and the forces
you apply during operation.
2. First position the Frame (1#), being sure that
there is adequate clearance around it to allow
for safe operation. Mark the position of the four
holes in the Base on the floor.
3. Drill four holes for the lag bolts. Be sure that
there are no hidden pipes, wires or other
obstructions to drill into.
4. Install the Frame (1#) on the floor using your
lag bolts. Check to be sure it is plumb and
secure before proceeding.
5. Attach the Swivel Bolt (14#) to the Foot Pedal
(2#) using the Pin (5#). Secure the Pin (5#) in
place using the Split Pin (10#).
6. Attach the Foot Pedal (2#) to the Frame (1#)
using Bushing (4#), two Washers (13#) and two
Screws (11#). Position the Swivel Bolt (14#) on
the top side of the vertical member of the
Frame (1#). Check to be sure the Foot Pedal
(2#) is snug and can still freely pivot in the
Frame (1#).
7. Insert the Push Rod (3#) through the box
section of the Frame (1#) and thread onto the
Swivel Bolt (14#) approximately 38mm.
8. Thread the Swivel Bolt (17#) onto the upper
end of the Push Rod (3#) inserting it to a depth
of approximately 38 mm. Attach the Driving
Handle (16#) to the upper Swivel Bolt (17#)
using the Pin (18#) and secure the Pin in place
using a Split Pin (10#).
9. Thread the Connecter (20#) onto the upper end
of the Air Spring (7#).
10. Connect one end of Air Spring(7#) and the Foot
Pedal (2#) using one Bolt (6#) ,one Nut (19#).
Connect the connecter (20#) and the
Frame(1#) using one Bolt (6#), one Nut (19#) .
11. Attach Safety Pin (9#) to the end of Chain (8#)
and secure in place with Split Pin (10#). Attach
this chain assembly to the Frame (1#) using a
Split Pin (10#).
12. With an assistant, attach the Metal Shrinker/
Stretcher to the flange at the top of the Frame
(1#) using two Screws (12#) and Washers
(13#). Check to be sure the tool is secure and
stable.
13. Insert the end of the Driving Handle (16#) into
the Hand Rocker on the back of the Metal
Shrinker/Stretcher.
14. Test the operation of the tool by pressing down
on the Foot Pedal (2#). It may be necessary to
adjust the Push Pod (3#) to synchronize the
operation of the Foot Pedal (2#) of this Stand
and the operation of the Jaws of the Metal
Shrinker/Stretcher.
Operation
1. When this Stand and the Metal Shrinker/
Stretcher are fully assembled, you can operate
the Metal Shrinker/Stretcher by pressing down
and letting up on the Foot Pedal (2#) in the
same way you can operate the Metal Shrinker/
Stretcher using that tool’s Handle.
2. When not in use, secure the Foot Pedal (2#) in
the UP position by inserting the Safety Pin (9#)
onto a hole in the box section of the Frame (1#)
under the Foot Pedal. This will prevent the Foot
Pedal from accidentally being pushed down,
which may damage the Jaws of the Metal
Shrinker/Stretcher.
