Operation
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Keep hands away from contact
areas and tight spaces. The tool may slip and cause injury.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage, do not overextend the Ram.
1. IMPORTANT! Check the Hydraulic Fluid
level, following the instructions in the
Cleaning and Maintenance section.
2. Remove any obstructions that could
be damaged or are in the way.
3. Check that the Pressure Gauge is functioning
properly. The Gauge will help ensure that the
system is not under load when disconnecting
hoses or equipment, as well as estimate
the force being placed on the Rams.
Using Ram
1. Position the Ram so that the Base is resting against
a frame member opposite the damaged area. It
must also be in line with the direction in which the
damaged area needs to be pushed. The vehicle
body part must be stronger than the area to be
bent or it may be damaged. A block of wood or
a towel may be used to protect the body part.
2. Aim the pushing end towards the area
that needs to be repaired, and slowly
apply pressure with the Pump.
3. When the damaged area has been bent to the
desired position, slowly turn the Relief Valve
counterclockwise to release the hydraulic
pressure and remove the Ram or Spreader.

4. Clean all hydraulic ports and cover
them with clean End Plugs.
Using Spreader
1. Place the Spreader so that the hinged (pushing)
jaw is resting against the part to be moved and the
stationary jaw is resting against a non-movable base.
2. Carefully hold the Spreader in position
and apply pressure with the Pump.
3. 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.
4. When the damaged area has been bent to the
desired position, slowly turn the Relief Valve
counterclockwise to release the hydraulic
pressure and remove the Ram or Spreader.
5. Clean all hydraulic ports and cover
them with clean End Plugs.
