mounting the pipe bender on the tripod,
make sure the whole equipment remains
balanced and stable.
• Do not engage fingers or any part of body
near bending cage while pumping.
• As an additional safety measure, this pipe
bender is fitted with an overload safety
valve nº 10, factory set, which must not be
tampered with.
• This unit has been designed for bending
pipes only and must not be used for other

the pistons completely retracted.
MAINTENANCE
1. Lubricate all moving parts at regular
intervals.
2. Always keep the pipe bender clean and
protected from aggressive conditions.
3. The correct volume of oil is the following:2"
pipe bender, 950cm3
1.600 cm3.
IMPORTANTE: AN EXCESS OF OIL WILL
RENDER THE HYDRAULIC UNIT INOPERATIVE.
4. Use only hydraulic oil, HL or HM type, with
an ISO grade of cinematic viscosity of 30 cSt
at 40ºC or an Engler viscosity of 3 at 50ºC.
IMPORTANTE: NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID.
REPAIR
Both maintenance and repair must only
be carried out by qualified and approved
personnel.
