Leveling the spindle
1) Remove 1 of the 4 socket head cap screws from the top of the
spindle as shown to the right.
2) Place a level on the spindle’s upper surface. Do not place it
anywhere else such as the top of the screws or dowel pins
because they may not be level themselves.
3) By rotating the spindle 90
o
from the front to the side and adjusting
the nuts at the 4 corners, level the spindle as accurately as
possible.

Filling the hydraulic oil tank
The bender is shipped without hydraulic oil as per transportation
regulations. Remove the front oil tank access cover. Using commonly
available ISO-32 or ISO-68 hydraulic oil such as used in agricultural
equipment, ll the oil tank to approximately 1” from the top. The
tank’s oil level may be seen easily through the JD2 logo using a
ashlight. A rubber hose attached to a funnel makes this job fairly
easy.

Electrical connection
AC SUPPLY VOLTAGE: The bender may be congured to operate on an AC supply voltage of either 110-120v
or 220-240v. The solenoid installed in the bender must match the supply voltage to the bender. The standard
motor may be wired for either voltage.
EXTENSION CORD: If you plug the bender into an extension cord, we recommend you use the shortest 10
gauge cable possible. If you use a long cable, such as 50 feet or more, or a smaller gauge cable, the power drop
through the cable may be signicant enough to trip the breaker in your building’s fuse box. The pump may also
not receive enough power to develop full pressure.
