7.
The torque wrench should be
set at 14 ft/lbs (19Nm) then
attached to the screw bolt
8.
Tighten the screw bolt in a clockwise
direction until the flanges come into
alignment; or the torque wrench
“clicks”
If the torque wrench has clicked
and the flanges are still mis-aligned
adjust the torque wrench up to
24.2 ft/lbs (33 Nm) and continue
until a maximum torque wrench
setting of 50t/lbs (67.8N/m) is
reached or the flanges are aligned.
The maximum safe
working load is 50
ft/lbs (67.8 N/m)
exceeding 50 ft/lbs will
result in damage to the
tool
Once in alignment the bolts may
be inserted and tightened.
After replacing all of the bolts (apart
from the bolt which will go into the
bolt-hole in which the FA4TM
is located), remove the
tool by reversing steps 2 -8.
Insert the last bolt and tighten.
Care
should be taken not to drop any of the component parts when
removing them from the flange joint. This action will prevent injuries to
either the operator’s lower limbs, or to passers-by.
