OPERATION
Read the ‘Operation’ section carefully before attempting to operate the Model
648RBL Low Profile Clamshell.
CONFIGURE THE CLAMSHELL FOR THE SPECIFIC TASK REQUIRED
Mount the Tool Blocks and Tripper Bracket onto the Clamshell.
Select and install the proper Clamping Pad Set into the Clamshell.
Do not install the Tool Bits until the Clamshell has been installed on the pipe.
INSTALLATION OF THE CLAMSHELL ON AN IN-LINE PIPE
Separate the Clamshell into two (2) halves or four (4) quarters.
Rotate the Headstock until the split-lines of the Headstock match the split-lines of
the Housing.
Unbolt the Red Lock Blocks attached to the Headstock, flip them over and re-attach
them with the Dowel Pin going through the Headstock and into the Housing.
This is to prevent the Headstock from rotating out of the Housing while the
Clamshell is split in half.
Unbolt the Clamshell.
