Test for Slippage
Bring the fitting against the main under full fusion pressure to
insure that no slippage or movement of the main or fitting occurs.

Prepare Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of
heater in an explosive atmosphere without
necessary safety precautions will result in serious
injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be
brought up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged
before entering the explosive atmosphere for fusion.
Use a clean non-synthetic cloth to clean the saddle fusion heater
adapter surfaces.
Verify heater temperature by noting the reading on the dial
thermometer.
Check the heater temperature and install heater between the fitting
and main. Assure proper line-up.

Clamp Fitting
Position the fitting, and bolster if required, loosely in the movable
jaw(s). Move the carriage to the right to properly position the
fitting on the main. Tighten the clamp knobs.
Be sure to allow enough travel for the melt pattern and fusion to
occur (3/4" min.).
