Operation
Check Heater Temperature
Incorrect heating temperature can result in
questionable fusion joints. Check heater plates
periodically with a pyrometer and make
necessary adjustments.
Check heater surface temperature.
Refer to the pipe manufacturer's recommendations for proper
heater temperature.
IMPORTANT: The dial thermometer on the heater indicates internal
temperature which varies from the actual surface temperature.
The dial thermometer can be used as reference once the surface
temperature has been verified.

Check Alignment of Pipe
Bring the pipe ends together under sufficient force to overcome
any pipe drag or friction in the system. Check for alignment
and proper face off. If high/low (misalignment) exists, adjust by
tightening the clamp on the high side and reface the pipe.
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. Bring the pipe ends together
under fusion pressure plus drag to check for slippage. If slippage
occurs, return to Loading Pipe into Machine.
