The Bendcart is designed for use with the Greenlee #881CT and the #885T Hydraulic

2-21/2" to 4" EMT benders.

SAFETY

Safety is an important part of the workplace. In addition to the normal workplace safety

measures there are specific precautions that should be taken when using the Bendcart:

-Be sure all pins are installed in the proper locations

-Visually inspect the bender to see that it is properly mounted and that there are no

parts missing or binding.

-Use proper lifting techniques when loading bender and changing parts

-Use only on a level surface

-The Bendcart is heavy, especially with extra shoes. Be very careful if moving over

uneven or sloping ground.

-The brakes are designed only to prevent the bender from moving when loading

conduit. They should not be relied upon when transferring or storing this unit.

LUBRICATION

The swivel wheels have grease fittings and should be greased every 6-12 months.

A light lubrication oil should be sprayed on the conduit leveler adjustment screw

and slide plate monthly.

MOUNTING THE BENDER

A. 881 Bender (current model for EMT and GRC - cylinder is moved up or

down when changing shoe sizes) - go to page 5

B. 885T bender ( old style for EMT only - roller adjusts up or down when

changing shoe sizes)

-Slide one of the bender side bars onto the bender support pins (see page 3)

-Slide the hydraulic cylinder onto the bender support pins

-Slide the second side bar onto the bender support pins

-Install the 2 hairpins into the proper holes to secure the bender to the Bendcart.

(NOTE: the 881 bender w/881A adapter uses the outer holes, the 885T uses the

inner set of holes)

-Install the follow bar roller (part of bender)

-Turn the conduit leveler adjustment handle to raise or lower the conduit leveler

until the lower tube of the leveler assembly is approximately level with the top of

the follow bar roller

-If necessary, relocate the 3/4"x10" bolts in the follow bar support pegs so that

they are slightly below the top level of the roller
