To transport the bender with a crane:
1. Pivot the bending head to the vertical bending
position.
2. Confirm that the shoe and roller support retainers
(12, 17) are in place and locked.
3. Use a sling around the lifting bar (19) to support the
full weight. DO NOT USE HANDLES. Lift only with
the head in the vertical position.
To transport the bender on a trailer
1. Pivot the bender to the horizontal bending position.
2. Position the bender on the trailer so the bender
wheels are parallel to the trailer axle. By doing so,
the bender will resist movement if the trailer has
sudden starts and stops.
3. Place blocks against the bender wheels to resist
movement.
4. Attach straps around the bender shoe and hooks to
secure the bender to the trailer. Tighten the straps
to secure the bender from moving.
NOTE: the bender wheel brake will not adequately
secure the bender for transportation.
