VAP131R HYDRAULIC, ADJUSTABLE
PIPE STAND TURNSTILE PROCEDURE
With the VAP131R positioned slightly beyond
half the pipe length from the tool, it is possible
to balance the pipe on the VAP131R and
measure the groove diameter and/or rotate
the pipe to groove the opposite end. The ball
transfer units must be installed in the proper
sockets to utilize this feature. Refer to the “Initial
Adjustments” section of this manual.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to use the turnstile
feature for pipe longer than standard
20-foot/6-meter random lengths.
Failure to follow this instruction could cause
damage to the pipe stand.
1.
Groove the pipe by referring to the
Operating and Maintenance Instructions
Manual for the applicable tool being used
to roll groove the pipe.
2.
After the pipe and grooving rolls have
stopped rotating, withdraw the grooved
pipe from the roll grooving tool by sliding
the pipe out of the tool
SLOWLY
to a point
where it balances on the VAP131R.
WARNING
• Ensure that the pipe is balanced before
rotating the pipe.
• DO NOT leave the pipe unattended.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury or damage
to the VAP131R.
3.
Measure groove diameter and/or rotate
the pipe to position the opposite end for
grooving. When rotating pipe, walk with the
pipe to maintain proper pipe balance.
MAINTENANCE
This section provides information about
maintaining Series VAP131 components in
proper operating condition. Replacement parts
must be ordered from Victaulic to ensure
proper and safe operation. For the VAP131R
and VAP131F, always refer to the hydraulic lift
manufacturer’s service manual for complete
operating and maintenance information.
1.
Regular lubrication is required for VAP131R
and VAP131T. On a weekly basis, apply a
dry graphite spray in the ball transfer units.
Work the dry graphite in by rotating the ball
transfer units.
2.
On a monthly basis, lubricate the grease
fittings and inspect the hydraulic hoses
and electrical lines on the VAP131R and
VAP131F.
3.
On an annual basis, or as needed, change
the hydraulic fluid for the VAP131R and
VAP131F.
