customer service 800 • 355 • 1991 3 Section 5
There are two options for positioning the ram for
internal expansion:
Install the 45° angle bracket.
Remove the safety bolts behind the 1” nuts. Loosen
the left 1” nut (when facing ram), then the right 1”
nut (when facing ram). If this sequence is reversed
(right, then left) the cylinder will rotate backwards
on its own.
Lower the Ram carefully until it rests on the
bracket. You are now ready to internally expand.
CAUTION! The ram is extremely heavy. It may
be necessary to have 2 people (1 on each side) to
lower the ram.
Option #2 - Do not install the 45° bracket.
Lower the Ram completely until it rests on the
safety bumper. You are now ready to internally
expand.
CAUTION! The ram is extremely heavy. It may be
necessary to have 2 people (1 on each side) to lower
the ram.
