RATCHET OPERATION

The ratchet has three settings that can be 
used for raising or lowering the roller support to 
accommodate various pipe sizes .

1.

  Place the indicator on the ratchet to the left 

(when viewed from the end of the ratchet) 
to raise the roller support .

2.

  Place the indicator on the ratchet to the 

right (when viewed from the end of the 
ratchet) to lower the roller support .

3.

  Place the indicator on the ratchet to the 

middle location (when viewed from the 
end of the ratchet) to enable the ratchet 
to rotate freely . In this position, the ratchet 
can be rotated clockwise to raise the roller 
support or counterclockwise to lower the 
roller support .

NOTE:

 The extension shaft can be adjusted 

to three different heights within the adjusting 
sleeve to facilitate ratchet operation .

4.

  Using the ratchet, adjust the pipe stand 

height to a position that will support the 
pipe in an approximate level position when 
one end of the pipe is positioned on the 
roll grooving tool’s lower roll .
