Read the ‘Operation’ section carefully before attempting to operate the Model 648SB
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.
Rotate the Headstock until the split-lines of the Headstock match the split-lines of
the Housing.
Fasten the four (4) Lock Blocks from the Headstock to the Thrust Plate; there is one
on each half of the Clamshell.
This is to prevent the headstock from rotating out of the Housing while the
Clamshell is split into halves.
Unbolt the Clamshell.
