3. Bring the second half of the track ring up to
the pipe and secure the topmost joint by in-
serting and tightening the clamping screws
through the tapped end cap into the
threaded end cap (see Figure 6 - Assembly
Step 3).

4. Rotate the track ring around the pipe until
you have access to the second joint. Se-
cure this joint by tightening both clamping
screws. It is normal to have a small gap at
the joints between the tubular track sec-
tions.
5. Ensure that track moves freely around the
work surface. If the track does not move
freely verify that all track shoes are backed
against the cross brace. If the track shoes
are all backed against the cross brace and
there is not free movement it may be nec-
essary to use the next larger size track ring.
See Technical Specification on page 2
for nominal distance from track to work
surface.
6. Position the track ring the desired distance
from the weld joint (see Figure 7 – Track
Distance). This distance will typically be be-
tween 5 and 9 inches (130
– 230 mm).

7. Rotate the track ring so that the middle of
any segment is at the topmost point of the
work surface which will position one track
shoe at the top most point and one track
shoe for the second segment at the bottom
most point (see Figure 8
– Track Place-
ment).
