Detach feeding rod with bridge, bridge stands, and
air motor or hand ratchet.
WARNING: Always control the drilling rod.
Free the drilling rod by unlocking the bayonet
lock on the tapping device. Then pull the drilling
rod completely upwards above the slide gate valve.
(If assistance to get the cutter out is needed, turn
the drilling rod clockwise.)
(NEVER turn the drilling rod counterclockwise.
This can damage the cutter.)
(Be aware of the fact that the pressure inside
the pipeline may automatically move the rod
upwards. Avoid being above the rod with your
hands or face.)
WARNING: Always control the drilling rod.
Close slide gate valve.
Disconnect valve equalization hose at the lower
connection. This releases the pressure above the
slide gate valve.
Release pressure from the dome by opening blow
down valve.
