GEARENCH FD2 PETOL Flange Spray Deflector - Manual (Page 2)

1. Wrap the strap around the
bolted fl anges prior to unbolting.
Feed the free end over the top
of the two adjustment lock pins. 2. Then feed the free end back
through the tension adjustment
bolt, in between the two adjust-
ment lock pins.
3. With the tension clamp in the
relaxed position pull the slack
out of the strap until the strap is
just snug around the fl anges.
4. Arrange the tension adjust-
ment bolt so that the fl ange
access gap (pictured right) is
pointed in a safe direction. The
fl ange access gap allows the
operator to use a pry bar to
break the seal between fl anges.
The P95-525 POP-IT™ Tool can
be used to break the seal when
using the FD2 spray defl ector.
5. Engage the tension clamp. If
the tension clamp is diffi cult to
close loosen the strap slightly
and try again. The strap is
tightened correctly when the
edges are fi rmly seated around
the fl anges and does not slip
when pressure is applied at any
point.
Improper use of the PETOL™ Flange Spray Defl ector
may result in INJURY or DEATH!
Read Operating Instructions prior to operation.
