Gardner Bender B2000-5 Series F Cyclone Bender - Manual

Effective April 1, 2001 the model B2000 Cyclone Bender has
been upgraded to a dash 5 version, B2000-5. The latest
improvements are: two wheels added to the rear leg assembly,
a new electronic circuit control, and a small hook on the pendant
control box.
Rear Leg Assembly
The rear leg assembly is completely new, although the part
number has not changed. A set of locking casters has been
added as a feature that can be installed by the user. When the
bender is shipped the legs have solid rests threaded into the
bottom of the rear legs. If desired, the rests can be removed
and replaced by the casters that are shipped with the bender.
The legs on the old units can be removed and replaced with
the new style, but the entire leg assembly must be removed,
discarded and replaced with the new version.
Electronic Circuit Control
The electronic circuit control BMK-2 has been replaced with a
new version called the BMK-3. The installation of a BMK-3 will
require a new rear handle with electronic circuit installed at the
factory. Changes to the control circuit include a lighted ON-OFF
switch, a re-settable 15-amp fuse, and an SCR circuit to replace
the 25-amp triac. The new items protrude through the handle
plate and make the old handle obsolete. The old BMK-2 can still
be repaired by replacing the individual components, but we will
no longer offer the BMK-2 as an assembly.
Note: The printed circuit boards are not interchangeable
between the BMK-3 and the BMK-2.
Hook on Pendant Control
The pendant control has a hook attached to the outer case.
The hook provides a means for placing the pendant over the
handle, there by reducing accidental damage.
A new B2000-5 repair parts sheet is enclosed and shows the
new part numbers for the changed design.
