See the Exploded View. Remove the handles from the
inside of the PVC heater and attach them to the covers.

When bending 2" or larger conduit, Greenlee recom-
mends using 859-series PVC plugs. Install one plug in
each end of the conduit and tighten the wing nut until
the conduit is sealed. Remove the plugs after the PVC
has cooled.

1.

Place the heater on a firm, flat surface.

2.

Plug the cord in. Turn the heater ON. The pilot light
will illuminate. Preheat the unit by setting the timer
for eight minutes.

Notes:

• On the 848, the rollers will begin to rotate.

• The timer will not turn the heater OFF.

3.

After preheating the PVC heater, refer to the chart
on the rear of the heater for the approximate conduit
heating time. Set the timer.

4.

Place the conduit on the rollers and close the cover
over the section of conduit to be bent. Leave the
cover open over any section that is to remain
straight. This will prevent heating and deforming the
straight section.

Note: If using model 847, rotate the conduit by

hand.

5.

After the timer rings, check the PVC by lifting it at
one end. When the PVC is flexible, open the covers
and remove the conduit.

6.

Place the PVC on a flat surface. Form the bend by
hand. Allow the PVC to cool or set the bend by
applying cool water with a sponge or rag.
