Oil Change:

Change oil at least once a year or sooner if it appears dirty.

1.  Unplug machine from power source.

2.  Turn unit over so oil plug is uppermost (if machine is hot allow to cool down first).

3.  Remove oil plug and seal washer (never remove when machine is hot).

4.  Turn bender over and drain oil into a suitable receptacle. When oil ceases to drain, tilt 

machine to rear to allow oil trapped in piston housing to drain out. When housing is empty, 

tilt unit in the opposite direction to empty the residue in the pump case.

5.  Once all oil has been drained from the machine, turn unit over so oil plug is uppermost.

6.  Slowly fill the machine with fresh oil and replace seal washer and oil plug.

7.  Connect machine to power source and follow procedure for Oil Level Check.

Note:

 Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.

Bolt Tightness:

All bolts should be checked for tightness on a weekly basis or after every 500 bends (whichever 

comes first).

Carbon Brushes:

Inspect carbon brushes on a monthly basis. Worn brushes will result in power loss and cause 

irreparable damage to the armature’s commutator. Check brushes immediately if a loss of power 

or electrical fault is experienced.

Replacing Carbon Brushes:

1.  Unplug machine from power source.

2.  Locate the brush caps on both sides near the back of the motor housing.

3.  Open the brush caps with a screwdriver and remove carbon brushes from the machine.

4.  Inspect the carbon brushes and replace where worn or damaged.

5.  Reinstall new carbon brushes and brush caps securely.
