Gardner Bender B400 Series Eegor Hydraulic Benders - Manual (Page 3)

3
The Eegor ® bender develops 30 tons of force at 9,250
psi. Greater forces will be generated between the
rollers, follow bars and bending shoe. Operators must
follow instructions for assembly and bending conduit
to avoid pinch points and applying forces to incorrect
bender components.
Do not use damaged parts to assemble the
Eegor
® bender. Items that are damaged or broken
due to extensive wear must be replaced to avoid
potential hazards to the operator.
Keep hands and loose clothing away from all moving
parts. Frames and rollers move under high pressure.
Do not place hands on conduit or between conduit
and follow bar during operation. Severe injuries could
result.
Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic hose fittings
with pressure in the system. A rigid hose indicates the
presence of internal pressure. Prior to electrical or
hydraulic repairs, retract the hydraulic cylinder and
turn off the hydraulic pump.
