Preparing The Mini Sleeve - UHRIG Quick-Lock Mini Series User Manual

2.2. Preparing the Mini sleeve

Inspection
• Check the Quick-Lock Mini and the EPDM
rubber for visible damage.
Oil the sleeve
• Use a biodegradable oil.
• Push apart the metal overlap with
a screwdriver.
• Oil the metal overlap to ensure
that the sleeve will slide apart evenly.
• Oil the two locks.
• Wipe off excess oil from the inside
and outside of the sleeve.
Cutting the transport tapes (adhesive strips)
The adhesive tape prevents the sleeve from
opening during transport.
• Cut half-way through the adhesive tape
in the area of the metal overlap.
• Warning: If you cut right through the tapes,
there is a risk that the sleeve might unroll
when entering the pipe, thus restricting its
movement.
• Warning: If you do not cut the tapes at all
there is a risk that the sleeve might unroll
too suddenly during installation when the
tape tears, and break the return stop in
the gears.
