Select the bolt-hole 180° opposite the tool
that has just been attached and repeat the
above steps for the second tool.
If more than two tools are
being used they should be attached at an
equal spacing around the flange joint.
With the torque wrench set at 30 N·m
[22 ft·lb], tighten the actuator bolt on one
tool until the torque wrench clicks and then
torque the actuator bolt on the other tool.
Continue tensioning the actuator bolts until
the flange spreads or the torque wrench
clicks. Care should be taken to ensure the
actuator bolts maintain an equal tension on
both tools.
CAUTION
When the torque wrench clicks, stop and
increase the torque wrench setting by
10 N·m [6.5 ft·lb]. Continue to tension both
tools evenly until the flange spreads or the
torque wrench clicks.
If the torque wrench clicks, continue
increasing the torque wrench setting in
10 N·m [6.5 ft·lb] increments until the
maximum for the tool has been reached
(see table below).
If a greater spreading force
is required then further tools can be added
around the flange joint.
Overloading the tool will
cause tool failure which may result in
personal injury.
