∗ The Rolite unit is not equipped with a pressure regulator. Air supply pressure will affect

the capability of the unit to proper l y insert fittings. The unit should be supplied with clean
dry lubricated compressed air between 100 to 150 psi.

∗ The Rolite unit is made of heavy materials. It is designed to provide a sturdy work

platform. When using large diameter hoses, 6” and up, it is recommended that you use
caution when inserting and removing hose from the unit.

Operation:

∗ Warning: Always return controls to neutral (center) position prior to connecting air

supply, unexpected moving parts can injure, stay clear.

1.01 Connect the air supply.
∗ Notice: All controls are proportional. The slower you move them the slower the actuated

part moves. Always move the controls slowly to maintain maximum control.

1.02 Move the belt clamp control to release position.

1.03 Release the belt hold down bar located to the left of the unit controls.

1.04 Create enough slack to insert the hose through the belt loop on top of the rollers.

1.05 Place clamps or bands if necessary on the hose and slide them down 18” onto the hose.

1.06 Insert the hose through the belt so that the end to be coupled extends 2 to 4” past the

belt.

1.07 Manually adjust the belt so that the hose and installed coupling/fitting will freely slide thru

the opening with the clamp control in the fully released position.

∗ Notice: The belt clamp mechanism will remove approximately 9” of slack from the

system.

1.08 Tighten the clamp down bar by rotating the handles against the bar.

repeat the hose holding and insertion sequence. You may wish to reposition the hose
further through the belt and continue.

1.15 Once the fitting is fully inserted return the pusher control to neutral (center) position, then

retract the plate fully by moving the pusher control to retract position.
