the installation of a 1/4” bolt and nut (not included) to secure the
Bottle Jack to the Jack Saddle(*).
NOTE:
Customer may use a small C-Clamp or Vice Grip to clamp
the Bottle Jack to the Jack Saddle Assembly. This is only required if it

mounting hole in the Jack Saddle Assembly as
shown in Figure 6.0.
d)
Pull the opposite end of the spring up and slide it over the Spring
Hook on the Tube Bender Frame as
shown in Figure 6.0.
(Be certain the Forming Die Return Spring is hooked into the groove
on the Spring Hook.)
e)
Fasten the upper end of the Spring Safety Cable to the threaded
hole on the Spring Hook using one (1) of the 1/4”-20 Hex Bolts.
Fasten the lower end of the Spring Safety Cable to the threaded
hole in the Tube Bender Frame with the remaining 1/4”-20 Hex Bolt

Step 4
Follower Die Installation
a)
Locate the Follower Die (Item #17), the remaining 1” Die Pivot
Shaft (Item #11), and the remaining two (2) 1” Rue Clips (Item #7).
b)
Apply a small amount of lightweight oil to the Die Pivot Shaft.
c)
Insert the Follower Die inside of the Tube Bender Frame. Insert
the 1” Die Pivot Shaft through the appropriate (*) mounting hole in
the Tube Bender Frame, through the Follower Die, and through
the corresponding hole in the other side of the Tube Bender
Frame as
shown in Figure 4.0.
NOTE:
(*) Use the hole marked “A” for the 1.00” and the 1.25”
Follower Dies. Use the hole marked “B” for the 1.50”, 1.625” and
the 1.75” Follower Dies.
d)
Insert the Rue Clips into both ends of the Die Pivot Shaft.
Step 2

a)
Locate the 8-Ton Bottle Jack (Item #1), the Jack Ram Retainer Cup
(Item #10), and the two (2) #10-32 Button Head Allen Screws (Item
#5).
b)
On the 8-Ton Bottle Jack, extend the Jack Ram up by screwing the
Jack Ram out. The Jack Ram should be approx. 11/16” to 3/4” above
the flat surface on top of the large hex of the Bottle Jack.
c)
Place the Jack Ram Retainer Cup on top of the Jack Ram and align
the hole in the Retainer Cup as
shown in Figure 2.0.
The bottom
surface of the Retainer Cup should just touch the flat surface on top
of the large hex of the Bottle Jack. If it does not touch, remove the
Retainer Cup and screw in the Jack Ram until the Retainer Cup
touches. This insures the Bottle Jack will achieve maximum stroke.
d.
Using the two (2) #10-32 Button Head Allen Screws, secure the
Retainer Cup to the Jack Ram. The screws may not completely
bottom out on the Retainer Cup, this is normal, as long as they are
secured tightly.
