Butt Fusion Procedure
3 - 10
Check Alignment
Close the carriage until the ends of pipe butt together.
Check pipe joint for proper alignment.
Do not use finger to check for HI/LO
(misalignment). The unit is under pressure, and
slippage could result in crushed fingers. Always
keep hands clear of the jaw area.
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 tighten outside clamps to insure
against slippage.
Ensure there is no unacceptable gap between the pipe ends. If
there is an unacceptable gap, reinsert facer and reface.
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.

Position Carriage for Heater Insertion
Move carriage to the right to open a gap large enough to insert
the heater.
NOTICE: Do not open a gap too large as this could damage the
heater stripper bar.
