Reversible Jaws & Levers
The Pit Bull 26 fusion machine's upper jaws and control levers are
reversible from one side to the other. This allows the machine to
be operated from either side. The jaws can be removed by pulling
the pivot pin out. The clamp knobs can be removed by loosening
the set screw on the eyebolt and removing the pin holding the
eyebolt in place.
The lever handles can be moved from one side to the other by
depressing their spring pins and pulling them out. Put the lever in
the desired socket and make sure its pin engages the hole.

Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater
in an explosive atmosphere without necessary safety
precautions will result in serious injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to
temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the
explosive atmosphere for fusion.
The heater has a green indicator light which will flash on and off. This
indicates that the controller is operating normally. If the green indicator
is not flashing then the controller may not be operating properly. If this
occurs, disconnect power and have the heater repaired by a McElroy
Authorized Service Center.
The heater temperature is controlled by a microprocessor. It has a red
indicator light on the handle at the bottom of the temperature scale.
When the heater is plugged in and preheating the light glows steadily
until the set temperature is reached. The light then goes off and on slowly
as the heater maintains temperature.
The heater body is not coated. Coated butt fusion heater plates are
available for all butt fusion applications.
NOTICE:
The heater should never be used without butt fusion heater plates
installed.
To prevent a build-up of plastic pipe residue from accumulating on the
heater plates (loss of surface temperature and pipe sticking may result),
the heater plates should be cleaned with a nonsynthetic cloth before every
fusion joint.
