Page 8: Flange Misalignment Determination Procedure
4. FLANGE MISALIGNMENT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE The tool being used must not be attached to a flanged joint prior to the misalignment procedure being carried out. 4.1 LATERAL MISALIGNMENT Slacken and remove every second bolt around the flange , continue with this until misalignment occurs. -
Page 9: Rotational (Twist) Misalignment
4.2 ROTATIONAL (TWIST) MISALIGNMENT If the outer circumference of the flanges are in alignment but the operator is unable to fit the bolt into any two corresponding bolt-holes then rotational misalignment may have occured. In this case the alignment tool can be attached to the most accessible point as misalignment occurs at all bolt-holes to the same degree. -

5.3 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION POINT OF MAX. MISALIGNMENT LIFT MODE: Carry out the Flange Misalignment Determination Procedure (see section 4) to determine the points of maximum misalignment. In this example the points of maximum misalignment are at the top and bottom of the joint. POINT OF MAX. - Page 12 Lift up on the handle and the HANDLE counter-balance will push down on the higher flange bringing the joint into alignment. PUSH MODE: By removing the handle from the lifting assembly and counter-balance, the handle can be re-inserted from the opposite side. Align the joint by pushing down on the handle.
