OPERATION

Assemble the components including the flat base and as many extension

tubes as required.

CAUTION: NOTE THAT WHEN ADDING FURTHER EXTENSION TUBES, THE

MAXIMUM RATED LOAD IS REDUCED. (SEE WARNING LABEL)

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.

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.

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.
