44  Bender Operation Manual

TO CHECK FOR 

PROPER ROTATION

On initial start up of a three phase motor, check for 

proper rotation. It should rotate 

counterclockwise.

 To 

check motor/pump rotation, proceed as follows:

1.  Plug in bender.

2.  Turn bender on.

3.  Depress the swager control handle. If the swager  

 

cylinder extends, then the rotation is correct. If the   

 

swager cylinder does not extend, then the rotation is  

 wrong.

4.  If the rotation is wrong, unplug the bender.

5.  Disassemble the plug and reverse any two power   

 wires.

6.  Test again.

7.  If the swager cylinder still does not activate, check   

 

the motor lead wiring as shown on the previous   

 page.

ELECTRIC FOOT SWITCH

On a regular basis, inspect the electric foot switch 

assembly for wear or damage. Inspect the entire length 

of the connecting cord for wear or deterioration. 

DO NOT OPERATE

 the foot switch if any of the above is 

observed.

MANUAL ELECTRIC 

STARTER

The electric starter box on your bender uses movable 

contacts activated by a push button mechanism. This 

style of electric starter is equipped with “Heaters” to 

prevent damage to the starter switch or motor in the 

event of an over-current situation. Single phase 

machines use one (1) #B-36 heater while three phase 

machines use three (3) #B-25 heaters. Continued 

over-current through the thermal unit will raise its 

temperature and melt the alloy allowing the ratchet 

wheel to rotate. This releases the pawl assembly, 

allowing the toggle spring to retract the contacts. 

Before resetting the relay, allow one to two minutes for 

the alloy to solidify. 

DO NOT

 disassemble the overload 

relay block because motor protection could be

disabled and cause possible damage to motor and/or 

other components. Thermal units must be installed 

and the device reset before the starter contacts will 

operate. Install thermal units so that the type face can 

be read and the pawl is positioned just above the 

ratchet wheel.

LOCK OFF MECHANISM -

 The starter can be locked 

only in the OFF position by lifting the metal tab labeled 

“LOCK” on the contact actuator and placing a padlock 

through the center of the hole in the tab.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

As with all hydraulic cylinders, age and wear will reduce 

the effectiveness of the cylinder seals. Proper maintenance 

and care will result in a prolonged service life.

RECOMMENDED 

MAINTENANCE

t

  Use a small file to remove any small nicks or scratches  

 

on the chrome cylinder rods.

t

  ALWAYS keep the chrome cylinder rods clean.

t

  ALWAYS remove expander tooling from the swager   

 

area on 1302 models before using the internal   

 

expander to prevent damaging the cylinder rod.

t

  NEVER “bang” the adapter collars on the cylinder   

 

shaft to release them from the tubing.

t

  Be sure to change the hydraulic fluid after every1500  

 

hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.

t

  Keep the ST-1 and Arbor tight at all times.

NOTE:

Under normal operating conditions all of the 

cylinders will seep oil around the area of the

wiper seal. This is a normal condition.

CAUTION!

All “BA” and “BAS” models wired for more than 

220 volts are factory equipped with a transformer to 

reduce the incoming voltage to the circuit board 

down to 220 volts AC.
