2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
Failure to comply with the
following cautions and warnings
could cause equipment damage
and personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Minimum age of the
operator must be 18 years. The operator
must have read and understood all
instructions, safety issues, cautions and warnings
before starting to operate the Enerpac equipment.
The operator is responsible for this activity towards
other persons.
CAUTION: Make sure that all system
components are protected from external
sources of damage, such as excessive
heat, flame, moving machine parts, sharp edges and
corrosive chemicals.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn or
damaged parts with genuine Enerpac
parts. Enerpac parts are designed to fit
properly and withstand rated loads.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses.
The operator must take precaution
against injury due to failure of the tool or
workpiece
We recommend the use of special
loosening liquids or sprays. Enerpac
hydraulic torque wrenches offer both
square and hexagon drive units to loosen or tighten
bolts and nuts. Enerpac offers nut splitters in case a
nut can not be removed.
WARNING: Never attach the ATM-2 to a
joint until after the flange bolts have been
loosened and removed. Overloading may
occur if bolts are removed while the tool is installed,
and the resulting force is greater than the safe
working load of the tool.
3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ATM-2 Alignment Tool has been developed as
the simple solution to small, low-pressure flange
misalignment.
Misalignment of flange joints often occurs when they
are broken-down for testing, routine maintenance, or
during shutdowns. Also during a construction phase
when new pipe is being installed, final alignment may
be required. Current methods of flange manipulation
tend to be dangerous involving a high degree of
manual lifting and can damage the bolt holes.
