1.
Carry out the Flange Misalignment
Determination Procedure (see
section 4) to determine the points
of maximum misalignment.
In this example the points of
maximum misalignment are at the
top and bottom of the joint.
2.
Guide the lift hook into the bolt-hole
at the maximum point of
misalignment.
Adjust the drop leg down onto the
pipe by turning the adjusting knob
in a clockwise direction. The tool
should be held up level within the
bolt-hole during adjustment.
N.B. The tool must be parallel to the
pipe at all times.
3.
Loosen the wing retaining knob
and extend the wing over to the
opposite flange.
Rotate the screw bolt onto the
surface of the opposite flange.
Ensure that the tool is sitting
level and that the friction pad on
the base of the swivel is in full and
even contact with the surface of the
opposite flange.
