5. Adjust gauge rod such that gauge reads
zero when the cylinder is fully retracted.
NOTE: To adjust gauge rod, loosen
gauge rod adjusting nuts (see Figure
9A) and adjust rod such that zero (ø) is
flush with the top of the cylinder block
(see Figure 9B).
4. Place the hydraulic cylinder with the cylinder
mounting block between the frame sides as
shown in Figure 9. Insert the two cylinder
block pins into the appropriate frame side
holes for the size of conduit to be bent and
secure each with a spring clip.
NOTE: The hydraulic cylinder with mounting
block in Figure 9 is shown pinned in the
position for bending 4" conduit. The frame
side holes are marked to indicate where to
pin the mounting block for each size.
