Step 7
Fitting an Elbow in the “Up” Position
1. Mount the Clamp Champ onto the pipe end
as shown in the earlier section. Position the
jack screws so that the ball is even with the
surface of the pipe.
2. Rotate the adjustment knob on the leveling
and supporting devices so that approxi-
mately 2 inches (50mm) of threaded shaft is
extended.
3. Attach the "C" clamp portion of the leveling
and supporting device onto the inside of the
elbow. The fitting attachment screw should
be on the inside of the fitting while the flat
portion should be on the outside. Center
the "C" clamp and tighten securely the
fitting attachment screw.
4. Pick up fitting with both hands and rest the
bottom of the fitting onto the lower jack
bars.
CAUTION -
Do not lift fitting by leveling
and supporting devices. If the fitting is
too heavy to flit, use a crane or Roust-A-
Bout.
5. Once fitting is resting on jack bar, hook
leveling and supporting device chain onto
notch located behind the main block. Allow
space between pipe and fitting for
adjustment.
6. Remove high-lows by adjusting the jack bar
screws on the high spots.
