ASSEMBLY, OPERATION & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1.
FEATURES
The economy Red Label 12,000kg Hydraulic Pipe Bender bends virtually all types of pipe,
including black or galvanized pipe (not conduit). Top rollers adjust for 90° bend.
Note: This pipe bender is designed to bend water pipe and heavy gauge galvanized pipe.
When bending conduit or a thin walled pipe, you may experience problems with kinks or
creases. To help minimise this issue, fill the pipe with sand and cap both ends before
bending.
2.
BEFORE USE
Conduct a thorough visual inspection checking for leaks and any abnormal conditions, such
as cracked welds, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Attach pipe bender securely to a solid, flat and level surface that can support the weight of
the pipe bender and pipe. Ensure there is adequate clearance for movement of the pipe.
Check Hydraulic Fluid Level
Check hydraulic fluid level and fill to 6mm below the fill port as needed. Thoroughly check
the ram for proper operation. If it does not work properly bleed air from its hydraulic
system. Refer bleeding instructions.
Purge the hydraulic system to eliminate any air in the system.
−
remove the oil fill plug from the top of the hydraulic ram.
−
turn the release valve counter-clockwise to open.
−
pump the handle up and down quickly several times to purge air from the
system.
−
check the hydraulic oil level and fill to 6mm below the fill port.
replace the oil fill plug and close the release valve by turning it clockwise.
3.
OPERATION
Prior to each use always conduct a visual inspection checking for leaks and any abnormal
conditions, such as cracked welds, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Bending Pipe
−
A certain amount of deformation will occur when using this pipe bender. Choosing
the right pipe will reduce deformation. Use on 40 or 80 malleable steel pipe.
−
To further reduce deformation, internal support may be provided by:
a)
Using mandrels. Follow mandrel manufacturer's directions.
b)
Packing pipe with clean sand, then capping off ends with steel caps before
bending.
Note: To prevent injuries from burns do not heat pipe.
