Transportation

Make sure that the handle is properly installed and
secured with the safety spring clips and snap pins
before lifting or moving the bender. An improperly
installed handle could allow the bender to fall, injuring
nearby personnel.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Remove the shoe unit from the main shaft and storage
spindle and remove all roller support units from the
bender. The only proper way to lift this bender is by
looping a nylon or polyester sling around the storage
spindle and main shaft to create a sling as shown. The
sling should extend between the handle and main frame
of the bender so that the handle acts as a guide for the
sling, as shown below.
Securely attach the lifting device to the sling and make
sure all components used to lift this bender are properly
rated for 159 kg (350 lb) weight. Use a ramp to load and
unload from a truck or other vehicle that is not equipped
with a lift gate.
