Installing the Second End of the Flex Tube
Once the Power Unit is installed, you can install the second end of the Flex Tube (the other end was
connected to the Powerside Runway earlier in the installation).
The Flex Tube consolidates and protects the lines that come out from under the Powerside Runway:
the Air Line, the Return Line, and the Hydraulic Hose.
To install the Flex Tube, you first need to connect the Flex Tube Bracket Plate and the Flex Tube Angle
Plate, if you have not yet connected them.
The components involved include:
• Flex Tube. Protects the Air Line, the Return Line, and the Hydraulic Hose. One end connects to
the hole on the Flex Tube Angle Plate from underneath, the other end connects to the hole on the
side of the Powerside Runway.
• Flex Tube Bracket Plate. The two notches at the top attach near the Mounting Bracket on the
Power Post. The two holes at the bottom connect to the Flex Tube Angle Plate.
• Flex Tube Angle Plate. Attaches to the Flex Tube Bracket Plate via two holes, giving you the
flexibility to connect it on either side. Includes the hole to which the Flex Tube connects.
BendPak recommends orienting the Flex Tube so that the lines coming out of it are near where they
connect on the Power Unit and to the Pushbutton Air Valve.
To install the Flex Tube:
1. Find the Flex Tube Bracket Plate and the Flex Tube Angle Plate. The Flex Tube is already nearby.
2. Install the Flex Tube Bracket Plate.
Location options are: between the Mounting Bracket and the Back Plate or between the Back
Plate and the retaining Nut (see the drawing on the following page).
Note: It is common to install the Flex Tube Bracket Plate between the Mounting Bracket and the
Back Plate. This allows the Zero Angle Bracket (which holds the Pushbutton Air Valve and
is described in the next section) to be installed between the Back Plate and the retaining
Nut. This configuration is common, but it is not required.
