3. Then slide in the Bottom Beam ensuring that the bottom of the A Frame locates in grooves on the underside of the Bottom Beam Refer to figure 2 0 Note Squeeze off points should be carried out a minimum of 3 but preferably 5 times the pipe Diameter from any weld or electro fusion joint area Connect hydraulic hose CON1 from A Frame to Hydraulic Hand Pump Refer to figure 3 0 ALWAYS ENSURE COUPLINGS ARE CLEAN BEFORE CONNECTION Note The connections are Male Female screw type quick release couplings When making coupling connections ensure that they are fully made i e Fully tightened together 1 4 Open the Release valve on the Hand Pump This will effectively release any pressure in the cylinder and ensure that it is fully retracted prior to squeezing off 1 5 You are now ready to Squeeze Off 2 0 OPERATION SQUEEZE OFF 2 1 Close the Release valve on the hand pump and operate the Lever The Top Beam will begin to travel downwards and start to squeeze the pipe WARNING Ensure the pipe is loaded centrally across the width of the beams 2 2 Continue the operation until the pipe has fully squeezed off and the pipe stops are sandwiched tight between the Top and Bottom Beams When the Pipe is squeezed the stops on the Top Beam will be in contact with the flats on the Bottom Beam Page 4 of 11 2 3 Note Mechanically lock the Top Beam to the Bottom Beam by tightening the Cap Head Screws provided C1 through the stop
4. Release the mechanical lock by removing the Cap Head Screws holding the Top and Bottom Beams together The squeeze off can now be released by SLOWLY opening the Release valve The Top Beam will travel upwards and the squeeze off released Allow the Top Beam to fully retract The Bottom Beam can then be removed and then the A Frame assembly can be taken away from the pipe Refer to figure 6 0 The squeeze off release is now completed and other squeeze points can be released in the same manner repeating steps 3 1 3 5 Page 5 of 11 Figure 1 0 Install Top Beam Then Lower Onto Pipe Figure 6 0 Expand A Frame amp Remove From Beam Assembly a Figure 7 0 Close A Frame amp Carry To Figure 8 0 4 Squeeze Off Points Next Beam Set Completed With One Kit Page 6 of 11 D MAINTENANCE There are no internal wearing parts for the user to change Faults or problems should be reported to Hy Ram Engineering Co Ltd stating the Serial Number and the size of the machine Any alteration will leave the guarantee null and void DAILY CHECKS The Oil level Condition of the hoses General Condition ANNUALLY Oil Change Pressure test Hand Pump TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS It is not envisaged that this equipment can be used by anyone only trained operators familiar with the gas industry should use this equipment Page 7 of 11 EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY We hereby declare that the following machinery
