Bender’s crate with sides and top removed.
1) Remove the top and sides from the crate. Remove the 1/2” bolts attaching the bender to the crate’s oor but
do not discard them. They are used later to level the rear of the bender.
2) Removing the bender with a forklift: The bender may be lifted from the base using a forklift by inserting
the forks into the forklift access slot as shown in the above picture. The forks should be spread out as far as
they will go and still t into the slot. The bender is very top heavy and you must be careful not to let it tip and
possibly fall off the forks. We recommend you use tie downs and strap it to the forks. Also, make sure no one
is around the bender that may be hurt if the bender falls off the forks. GO SLOW AND BE VERY CAREFUL.
Removing the bender without a forklift: The bender may be rolled off the base using the procedure shown
below. In order to do this you will need to obtain 2 handles and a some 9/16” or thicker plywood. See the
section “Installing the handles” in the assembly section of these directions. Do not use the wood from the
crate’s side and top because it may not handle the bender’s weight.
1) Insert the handles and tilt the bender back. Place the plywood as shown below.
2) Carefully and slowly roll the bender down the ramp.
