8. Installing the Tool — Horizontal

Mount the Miter Mandrel on to the center shaft using 
two mounting bolts from the wedge cone. Suspend 
the tool with the lifting frame and slide the Mandrel 
into the pipe to approximately the depth that the 
Gauge Assembly will position it. 

[IMPORTANT—Mark 

the location of the extension legs in the pipe. 
These legs must be in this position to assure 
alignment of the bolt holes when the tool is finish-
mounted on the Mandrel.]

 

Tighten the extension 

legs inside the pipe sufficiently to hold the Mandrel in 
place. Remove the two mounting bolts from the center 
shaft flange and swing the tool out of the way. Loosen 
the Extension Legs just enough to allow adjustment 
of the Mandrel in the pipe. Follow instructions #4, #5, 
#6 and #7 to complete the installation. An offset 1-1/8" 
wrench has been provided to assist in tightening the 
Extension Legs against the pipe wall.
