7.2 HOW THE FA6TE WORKS
1.
The FA6TE is secured to the lower of the two flanges by fully inserting the lift hook
into the bolt-hole which is parallel with the bolt-hole on the opposite flange. This is
where the misalignment is at its greatest point.
2.
The drop leg is released onto the pipe while the tool is held up level in the bolt-hole.
3.
The lock pin is pulled out to allow the wing to be extended to the required distance.
4.
The hydraulic cylinder is secured into the adjusting sleeve. The hydrualic cylinder
and adjusting sleeve are rotated clockwise until the cylinder base locates onto the
surface of the opposite flange.
5.
The hydraulic hose and pump are attached to the cylinder and the hand pump is
primed, bringing the joint into alignment.
