BENDING CONDUIT

-Adjust the conduit holddown roller for the size conduit being bent. Remove the

hairpin and install the roller rod into the upper or lower sleeves . The roller can be

left in the upper sleeve, if so desired, but it may require more adjustment to level

the conduit.

-The appropriate follow bar should be installed so that one end is resting on the

roller(bender) and the other end is resting on the conduit leveler or the rear follow

bar support peg with the follow bar ears outward. The bender supports are designed

so that the bender can be slid either forward or back, as necessary. The middle

is best for most situations.

-Set the pump in the pump tray and connect the hose to the ram. You may find

it useful to purchase 90 deg hydraulic fittings for the pump and cylinder.

(NOTE: the pump should be secured to the pump tray with bolts, wire or other

means.)

-Set the appropriate shoe onto the follow bar and connect it to the ram yoke

(NOTE: this may be made easier by pumping the ram down several inches.)

-Install the saddle and the operation is complete.

-Slide conduit onto follow bar and under the conduit holddown roller

-Install the saddle (NOTE: for a one man operation you may find it easier to pull

the shoe back and up with a wire, bungee cord , or some other means so that the

saddle is touching the front of the follow bar. Don't forget to remove the wire

or cord before bending!!!!!)

-Start bend

-turn the conduit leveler adjustment handle until the conduit behind the shoe is

level.

-Finish bend For accurate bends using a protractor, readjust the back of the

conduit to level when you are within a few degrees of the desired bend.

WARNING:

saddle pin getting caught under the Bendcart crossbar when making 90 deg

bends. This is more of a problem on smaller conduits as the pin can extend thru

the saddle several inches. Be sure that the conduit is centered in the bender and is

parallel to the Bendcart when starting the bend.

MISCELLANEOUS

-See page 3 for the pump tray storage and "in use" positions.

-The unit can be made reasonably secure by threading a heavy chain through

the saddles, through the holes of the shoe, through the pump handle and around

the bender.

TIPS

-Use a large C-clamp or welders vise grip to clamp the saddle to the conduit to

prevent the shoe from sliding down the bend when pressure is released to

check spring back.

-To eliminate dogleg on segment bends make a line lengthwise on the conduit (or

use the seam mark) Make a mark on the face of the shoe. Be sure that the

lengthwise line matches the mark on the shoe for each bend.

If the conduit is not properly aligned there is a possibility of the
