Personal safety
1.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
2.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
3.
Use safety equipment.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use.
Tool use and care
1.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
2.
Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
3.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
4.
Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer
for the specific tool model.
Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
5.
Avoid off-center loads. If the Pump seems unusually hard to operate, immediately stop. Adjust the Ram to eliminate or diminish an offoff center load.
The Flange Base and Flange Head must only prevent an off-center load.
6.
Protect the Hose. Do not drop heavy objects on the Hose.
Avoid kinks in the Hose.
Maintain proper clearance to avoid damage to the Hose and Couplers.
7.
Inspect repair before using vehicle.
Repairs to structural or frame members must be inspected by a qualified technician to ensure that the structure is still strong enough to safely fulfill its function.
Service
1.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
2.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Use only authorized parts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Setup
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Ram Attachments
Extensions connect in different combinations to reach desired lengths.
Male Connector is used to connect the female end of the Ram to a Base.
3. The Flat Base is used on the stationary side to spread out the force of the Ram.
4. The 90° V Base is used to offset the force of the Ram when there is not a straight line between the stationary side and the damaged side, or to spread out force on curved surfaces.
Cap Head is used on the pushing end to prevent slipping.
Rubber Head is used for popping dents out of sheet metal such as doors or body panels and to minimize damage to the work surface.
Wedge Head is used to repair small dents and areas located in angles and tight spaces.
Flange Base and Flange are used together to allow spreading in areas that the Ram cannot fit into.
The Flange Base and
Flange Head must only together to prevent an off-center load.

Items 44899, 44900
Ram Setup
Note: When positioning the Ram use a smaller attachment on the side that is to be bent instead of the stationary side. If the stationary side is in danger of being bent or damaged, place a block of wood or other material behind the Flat Base to distribute pressure over a greater area.
1. Clean the end of the Hose and the inlet on the Ram. Unscrew and save the End Plugs located on the end of the Hose and Ram.

2. Unscrew and save the
End Plugs located on the end of the Hose and Spreader.
3. Attach the Hose to the

Operation
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before use of this product.
1. Check the Hydraulic Fluid level, following the instructions in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
2. Determine which direction the frame needs to be bent.
3. Remove any obstructions that could be damaged or are in the way.
When using the Pump in a vertical position, keep the Hose end of the Pump downward.
4A.
USING RAM: a. Connect the appropriate Base to the stationary side of the Ram, and connect the appropriate head to the pushing end of the Ram.
When repairing larger body panel dents such as a dented door, fender or quarter-panel use the
Rubber Head on the pushing end.
b.
If using the Flange Base or
Flange Head:
Thread the Flange Base onto the
Ram completely and align the
Flange Head to it. The Flange Base and Flange Head must only together to prevent off-center load.
c. Position the Ram so that the Base is resting against a frame member opposite the damaged area. It must also be in line with the direction in which the damaged area needs to be pushed. The vehicle body part must be stronger than the area to be bent or it may be damaged.
A block of wood or a towel may be used to protect the body part.
d. Aim the pushing end towards the area that needs to be repaired, and slowly apply pressure with the Pump.
To prevent damage, do not overextend the Ram.
4B.
USING SPREADER: a. Place the Spreader so that the hinged (pushing) arm is resting against the part to be moved and the stationary arm is resting against a non-movable base.
b. Carefully hold the Spreader in position and apply pressure with the Pump.
5. Once both ends have made contact, move as far away as possible and continue to slowly apply pressure to the damaged area until the desired bend has been made.
CAUTION! Keep hands away from contact areas and tight spaces.
The tool may slip and cause injury.
6. When the damaged area has been bent to the desired position, slowly turn the Release Valve counterclockwise to release the hydraulic pressure and remove the Ram or Spreader.
7. Clean all hydraulic ports and cover them with clean End Plugs.

Items 44899, 44900
Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Keep the surface of this tool and its accessories free of hydraulic fluid and grease. Use only a mild detergent and damp cloth when cleaning. Do not use a flammable or combustible solvent to clean this tool or its accessories.
2. Before each use, examine the general condition of the tool and its accessories.
Check for loose components, misalignment, binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
Do not use a damaged tool or its damaged accessories.
3. Keep hydraulic connections clean.
Clean all hydraulic ports and replace
Dust Covers immediately after use.
4. Store the Pump with the
Release Valve open.
Filling and Bleeding Hydraulic Fluid
If the Pump operation feels spongy, or the Ram lowers while the Release Valve is closed, there may be air in the Pump. Bleed the Pump as follows:
1. Set Pump flat on a level surface.
2. Remove the Fill Screw.
The Seal Ring should come off with it.
6. Press the tip of the Coupler against a hard surface and pump the pump handle.
3. The fluid level should be near the bottom of the opening.
If required, add high grade hydraulic fluid.
7. Continue pumping, until the hydraulic fluid coming out the end of the Coupler tip is free of air bubbles.
8. Recheck the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
4. Make sure the Seal Ring is still in place around the Fill Screw and thread the Fill Screw into the Pump securely. Do not use thread seal tape.
9. Turn the Release Valve counterclockwise to release the pressure in the Pump and Hose.
5. Firmly close the Release Valve by turning it clockwise.
Changing Hydraulic Fluid
1. Change the hydraulic fluid yearly.
2. Remove the Fill Screw and tilt the
Pump to drain out the old fluid.
3. Refill the hydraulic fluid and bleed the system several times to ensure all air is out of the system.
