Adjust the support legs (1) so that the ring fits tightly
around the pipe. There are four support legs, two of
which are spring loaded to allow easy centering of
the guide ring.
It is important to position the guide ring in centered
position, as it reduces the need to adjust stick-out length
during welding.

Mount the guide ring around the pipe so that locking
lever (2) is on the opposite side of the joint.
Distance from joint center line should be about
230 mm.
3.
Clamp the guide ring in position with the locking lever.
