Installing Butt Fusion Heater Plates
Install butt fusion heater plates while the heater is cool.
The heater is hot and will burn clothing and skin. Keep
the heater in its insulated heater stand or frame when
not in use, and use care when heating the pipe.
Butt fusion heater plates are installed with stainless steel cap screws.
Always use high temperature anti-seize compound on mounting screw
threads for easier removal later.
The butt plates are coated on one side with an antistick coating. Install
the butt plates with the non-coated side against the heater body.
Carefully ensure that the butt fusion heater plates are seated completely
on the heater body, and that there is no foreign matter trapped
between the butt plates and heater body.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over tighten the bolts.

ATTENTION
Track Tension
Park the machine on a flat solid surface.
Use the lifting sling to raise machine off the ground.
Place adequate supports under the bottom frame after lifting.
Measure the deflection between the bottom center roller and the
inside surface of the rubber track. Track tension is normal when this
distance is about 1/2". If the deflection is more or less than this, the
tension needs to be adjusted.

Adjusting Track Tension
The grease in the hydraulics of the track is
pressurized. If the grease valve is loosened too
much, grease can be expelled at high pressure
and cause serious injury. Never loosen grease
valve more than one turn. Injury could also
result if the grease nipple is loosened. Never
loosen the grease nipple.
Remove screws and cover to access the adjustment system.
To loosen the track, turn hex shaped valve (
A
) counterclockwise
no more than 1 turn. If grease does not start to drain out, then
slowly rotate the track. When correct track tension is obtained,
turn valve clockwise and tighten it. Clean off any expelled
grease.
To tighten the track, connect a grease gun to the nipple (
B
) and
add grease to the system. When the track stretches to the correct
tension, stop adding grease. Clean off any excess grease.
Replace access cover.
