Remember this is only a recommended
procedure for a safe and effective
squeeze-off. Always follow your
specifi c company safety rules when
working around natural gas.
1. Ground the tool with the
Grounding Rod
.

2. Rotate the
Jaw Sleeve

rect pipe size lines up with the pipe
size indicator arrow shown on the
Tool
Link.
(Fig 2)
Make sure the pipe is clear of any
debris, rock, dirt, etc.
3. Open the tool and place over the pipe until the
Tool Links are tight against the pipe.
(Fig 3)
Make sure the tool is perpendicular to the
pipe during squeeze-off.
4. Close the handles until the tool goes over center
into the self locking position, and the fl ow is con-
trolled.

Squeeze-off is complete when the tool hits
