OPERATION
Assemble the components including the flat base and as many extension
tubes as required.
1. Connect the Hydraulic Ram or Hydraulic Spreader to the connecting hose
using the screw-on hose connector. Use the male connector to join the
ram to your selected attachment or any extension tube.
2. To operate the Hydraulic Pump, position it on a stable, level surface close
to the damaged area. Close the Release Valve by turning it clockwise and
pump the handle to create pressure.
3. Turn the Release Valve counter-clockwise to release the pressure.
• The pump may be positioned horizontally or vertically. When using
the Hydraulic Ram in a vertical position, always keep the hose end
facing downward.
Always apply the load slowly to be sure that everything is secure. Take care
that the load is always in line with the ram.
USING THE RAM
1. Determine in which direction the target area needs to be pushed.
2. Remove any obstructions that are in the way and could be damaged.
3. Connect the Flat Base to the stationary side of the Hydraulic Ram and
connect the appropriate attachment to the working end of the Ram.
NOTE: When repairing larger body panel dents such as a dented door,
wing or quarter panel, the correct pushing attachment will be
the Rubber Head.
4. Position the Hydraulic Ram so that the flat base is resting against a frame
member opposite the damaged area. It must be in line with the direction
in which the damaged area needs to be pushed and have enough
support that only the damaged area will be displaced by the ram pressure.
• Use soft pads or wooden supports where necessary to protect the
body.
CAUTION: NOTE THAT WHEN ADDING FURTHER EXTENSION TUBES, THE
MAXIMUM RATED LOAD IS REDUCED. (SEE WARNING LABEL)
CAUTION: NEVER OVERLOAD THE RAM BEYOND ITS CAPACITY. ENSURE
THE BEARING POINT IS STABLE AND PROPERLY CENTRED ABOVE THE
RAM. NEVER OVERLOAD THE ATTACHED COMPONENTS BEYOND THEIR
RATED CAPACITIES AS STATED IN THE SPECIFICATION.
