SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Ram Attachments:
1. The Extensions (5-8) connect in different
combinations to reach desired lengths.
2. The Male Connector (14) is used to connect the female end of the Ram (3) to a
Base.
3. The Flat Base (9) is typically used on the
stationary side to spread out the force of
the Ram (3).
4. The V-Base (13) is used to offset the
force of the Ram (3) when there is not a
straight line between the stationary side
and the damaged side, or to spread out
force on curved surfaces.
4
5. The Cap Head (15) is typically used on
the pushing end to prevent slipping.
6. The Rubber Head (16) is typically used
for popping dents out of sheet metal such
as doors or body panels and to minimize
damage to the work surface.
7. The Wedge Head (12) is used to repair
small dents and areas located in angles
and tight spaces.
8. The Ram Toe (10) and Plunger Toe (11)
are used together to allow spreading in
areas that the Ram cannot fit into.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The Flange Base and Flange Head must only be used together to prevent an off
center load.
Note: When positioning the Ram (3) 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 (9) to
distribute pressure over a greater area.
Ram Setup:
Note: When positioning the Ram (3) 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 (9) to distribute
pressure over a greater area.
1. Clean the end of the Hose and the inlet
on the Ram (3). Unscrew and save the
End Plugs located on the end of the hose
and Ram (3).
2. Attach the Hose to the Ram.
3. Assemble attachments as shown in
figure 1 and 2.
Note: If using the Plunger Toe and Ram
Toe, thread the Ram Toe onto the
Ram completely and align the
Plunger Toe to it.
Spreader Wedge Setup:
The Spreader Wedge (2) is used when the
Ram (3) is too long to fit between the stationary side and the damaged area.
1. Clean the end of the hose and the inlet on
the Spreader Wedge (2).
2. Unscrew and save the End Plugs located
on the end of the hose and Spreader
Wedge (2).
3. Attach the Hose to the Spreader Wedge
(2), as shown in figure 3.

BEFORE USE
NOTICE During shipment or handling, air in the pump can become trapped in the
hydraulic system causing the pump to malfunction.
Bleeding The Pump:
1. Set Pump (1) flat on a level surface.
2. Remove the Fill Screw (A). The O-ring (B) should come off with it.
3. The fluid level should be near the bottom of the opening. If required, add high grade
hydraulic fluid.
4. Make sure the O-ring (B) is still in place around the Fill Screw (A) and thread the Fill
Screw into the Pump securely. Do not use thread seal tape.
5. Firmly close the Release Valve (C) by turning it clockwise.
6. Press the tip of the Coupling (D) against a hard surface and pump the pump handle.
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.
Fig. 4
A
9. Turn the Release Valve counterclockD
wise to release the pressure in the pump
B
and hose.
10. Change the hydraulic fluid yearly.
Remove the Fill Screw (A) and tilt the
C
Pump (1) to drain out the old fluid. Refill
the hydraulic fluid and bleed the system
several times to ensure all air is out of
the system.
GENERAL OPERATION
WARNING: Read and understand all the previous sections before use of this product. Failure to
comply with those sections may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage!
1. Check the Hydraulic Fluid Level, following
the instructions in the Bleeding the pump
section, if needed.
2. Determine which direction the frame
needs to be bent.
3. Remove any obstructions that could be
damaged or are in the way.
Note: When using the Pump (1) in a vertical position, keep the Hose (3) end
of the Pump downward.
4A. Using Ram (2):
6
a. Connect the appropriate Base
(13,15,17) to the stationary side of
the Ram (2), and connect the appropriate head to the pushing end of
the Ram.
Note: When repairing larger body panel
dents such as a dented door, fender
or quarter-panel use the Rubber
Head (11) on the pushing end.
b. If using the Flange Base (15) or
Flange Head (14): Thread the Flange
Base onto the Ram completely and
align the Flange Head to it. The
Flange Base and Flange Head must
only be used together to prevent offcenter load.
c. Position the Ram (2) 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
GENERAL OPERATION
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 (1).
Note: To prevent damage, do not overextend the Ram.
4B. Using Spreader Wedge (10):
a. Place the Spreader Wedge (10) 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.
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 (10C) counterclockwise to release the
hydraulic pressure and remove the Ram (2)
or Spreader Wedge (10).
7. Clean all hydraulic ports and cover them
with clean End Plugs to prevent contamination and damage.
b. Carefully hold the Spreader Wedge
in position and apply the Pump (1)
pressure.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to the ram and
pump as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause
either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the pump and ram maintained
and operational.
1. Before each use, inspect the general
condition of the product. Check for
broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or
missing parts, and any condition that
may affect the proper operation of the
product. Any equipment that appears
damaged in anyway must be removed
from service. Have the problem corrected before further use. DO NOT use
damaged equipment.
2. Replace worn or damaged parts with
Performance Tool® replacement parts.
Be sure that only qualified personnel perform repairs. DO NOT attempt
to weld, rivet or otherwise repair this
device.
3. Before each use, thoroughly test the
equipment for proper operation prior to
its actual use. If the equipment appears
not to be working properly, follow bleeding instructions on page 6.
4. When the product is not in use, ram and
pump piston should be in fully down
position to keep their machined surfaces
free from corrosion.
5. Keep the surface of this equipment 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.
7
CARE & MAINTENANCE
6. For best results, use only hydraulic
fluid with a rating of SAE 20 for refills.
Check fluid level with pump in fully down
position.
7. Change the hydraulic oil at least once
every three years:
a. Set Pump (1) flat on a level surface.
Fig. 5
A
D
B
C
b. Remove the Fill Screw (A). The Oring (B) should come off with it.
c. Tip the pump to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out of the housing
completely, and dispose of the old
hydraulic oil in accordance with local
regulations.
d. With the Pump upright, completely
fill the housing with a high quality
hydraulic oil (not included) until the
oil just begins to run out of the oil
fill hole. Be VERY CAREFUL not to
allow dirt or foreign matter into the
system.
8
e. Make sure the O-ring (B) is still in
place around the Fill Screw (A) and
thread the Fill Screw into the Pump
securely. Do not use thread seal
tape.
f. Firmly close the Release Valve (C) by
turning it clockwise.
g. Clean with a clean cloth using a
detergent or mild solvent.
