Operation
Loading Pipe into LineTamer (continued)
Pull pipe just past the second roller and stop.
Raise bottom roller in LineTamer to align pipe with the re-rounding rollers and pull pipe through.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pulling head while loading pipe in
the machine may pose a damage potential to the rollers. Many
pulling heads have strap edges and hard metal surfaces that
could collide with the rollers and cause damage.
An alternative would be to use a strap and rope to pull and align
the pipe in the machine.
To use the strap and rope to load the pipe in the machine, drill
a hole about 2 to 3 inches from the end of the pipe. Thread the
rope through the hole and attach to the strap (as shown). The
strap and rope will pull the pipe downward and forward. This
downward force makes it easier to pass each of the rollers in the
LineTamer.
We recommend a pulling head to payout the coil of pipe as it
provides positive means of attaching to the pipe.
If a pulling head is not available, you can use a similar
arrangement of the strap and rope. Drill two holes inline about 2
to 3 inches from the end of the pipe. Thread the rope through both
holes and attach the strap. Use the strap to pull the pipe to payout
the coil.
