Gardner Bender Mini-Eegor Hydraulic Bender - Manual

The Mini-Eegor™ bender was designed with personal safety in mind. Nevertheless, when a
machine is powered with ten tons of force, certain precautions must be exercised to keep that force under control at
all times.
Fully Assemble All Load-bearing Pins:
Unless all pins are fully engaged in their respective sockets, the resulting misapplied loads can deform and destroy
the bender, with associated danger to attending personnel.
1. All four axles of the compression roller plate assembly must project through, or be flush with, both plates.
2. The top aluminum load arm must be fully seated so that three pins project through it with the chamfered roller
engaging the slot.
3. The U-strap pin must seat on its handle.
Do Not Attempt to Use Damaged Components:
Should any part of the Mini-Eegor™ bender become
damaged for any reason, replace it before resuming
bending operations. Failure to do so may jeopardize other
components and personal safety as well.
Keep Clear of Possible Pinch Points:
Relative motion between bender components could severely
pinch fingers or cut any objects wedged in between.
Use Standard Precautions with Hydraulic Hoses:
Couplings must be fully engaged to permit free flow of oil.
Be alert to avoid developing sharp bends or pinching
of hose.
Bend Only Conduit that Fits Freely into Shoe Grooves:
Oversize pipe that hangs up on the groove edges can
sometimes split a shoe.
