Check for Slippage
Bring the two sections of pipe together under fusion pressure to
make sure they don’t slip in the jaws.
If slippage occurs, return to Loading Pipe into Machine.

Check Alignment
Move carriage to the left at facing pressure, until pipe ends
contact. Look across the top surface of pipe ends to check
alignment. If there is a noticeable step across the joint,
adjustments must be made.
Hydraulically operated equipment is operated
under pressure. Anything caught in the machine
will be crushed. Keep fingers, feet, arms, legs,
and head out of the machine while operated.
If pipe is not lined up, tighten the high side jaw to bring into
alignment.
IMPORTANT: Always tighten the side that is higher, never loosen
the low side.
When the pipe is properly aligned, ensure all clamp knobs are
tight.
NOTICE: When clamping, do not over-tighten the clamp knobs
because machine damage can result. Check to see if there is
space between the upper and lower jaws. If the two jaws are
touching, do not continue to tighten.
