Installation
6.1 Lifting and installation
When lifting and installing the machine should be kept it horizontal, and never incline or reverse it to avoid unwanted damage.
6.1.1 If a forklift is used, it should be inserted carefully from the bottom of the machine carefully to avoid damaging the oil hose and circuit
6.1.2 When conveying the machine to installation position, the mainframe should be kept stable and horizontal.
6.1.3 Install the motor to the reduction box of the planing tool and fixed by screws, shown in Fig .3.
6.2 Connection
Make sure that the space is enough for putting the machine and keep the whole machine horizontal and assure the correct connection of all sockets, cables and hoses when installing the machine.
6.2.1 Connect the main machine to electrical box.
Fig. 4 Connect heating plate to electrical box
Fig. 5 Connect planning tool to electrical box
6.2.2 Connecting the cable of the machine to power, which is three phases- five wires 380V 50HZ.
For safety, the machine must be earthed from ground point of the machine.
6.2.3 Fill the filtered hydraulic oil. The height of the oil should be more 2/3 of the height of the scope of content gauge.
Warning: Earthing must be finished by professional people.
Instruction For Use
Follow all the safety rules on the machine. Untrained person is not allowed to operate the machine.
7.1 Power
Close the ground fault interrupter
7.2 Start oil pump
Start the oil pump to watch the rotating direction. If the pressure gauge has readings, the rotation is right, if not, exchange any two live wires.
7.3 Check and adjust drag pressure and move speed of drag plate. Working pressure of the system is 6 MPa. The joining pressure can be adjusted by pressure regulation valve located on the control panel. The planing pressure should be increased gradually, and keep it when continuous shavings appear (not too big). Feed speed of drag plate can be adjusted through the check valve (inside the base).
7.4 Clamps Installation
Install left and right clamp seats (clamps for tees or elbows) according to fittings to be fabricated.
1) Fix them firstly by the lock pin attached with the machine;
2) Adjust the angle with the special location handle;
3) Tighten the lock screw with a wrench.
If the elbow clamps needed to be used, press them tightly with the lock plate after adjust the angle.
7.5 Set specified temperature on temperature controller according to pipe welding process. (See section 7.10)
7.6 Before raise or lower the planing tool open the lock device on the handle.
7.7 Pipes positioning into the machine
7.7.1 Separate the clamps of the machine by acting on lever of direction valve
7.7.2 Position the pipes into the clamps and fasten them; the space between two pipe ends should be enough for planing tool.
7.7.3 Lock pressure relief valve, while close the two ends, turn the pressure regulation valve till the pressure gauge indicates fusion pressure, which is determined by the pipe materials.
7.8 Planing
7.8.1 Separate the clamps by acting on direction valve and fully open pressure relief valve.
7.8.2 Place the planing tool between the two pipes ends and switch on, approach the pipes ends towards the planning tool by acting on direction valve “forward”, and adjust the pressure regulating valve to keep suitable pressure till continuous shavings appear from the two sides.Note: 1) Thickness of the shavings should be within 0.2~0.5mm and it can be changed by adjusting the height of the planing tool.
2) Planing pressure should not exceed 2.0 MPa to avoid the damage of the planning tool.
7.8.3 After planing, Separate the clamps and remove planning tool.
7.8.4 Close the two ends to align them. If the misalignment exceeds 10% of the pipe thickness, improve it by loosening or tightening the upper clamps. If the gap between the ends exceeds10% of the pipe’s wall thickness, planing the pipe again till get the requirement.
7.9 Welding
7.9.1 Set the soaking time and cooling time according to the welding process.
7.9.2 After removing planing tool, place heating plate, Lock gradually pressure relief valve while pushing forward direction valve, which increases heating pressure to the specified fusion pressure（P1）. The pipe ends stick to heating plate and the fusion begins.
7.9.3 When a small bead build up, push back the direction valve on the middle to keep the pressure. Turn swing check valve to lower the pressure to soaking pressure（P2） and then lock it quickly. Then push down the soaking time button to time.
7.9.4 After the soaking (the buzzer alarms), open the clamps by acting on the direction valve and remove heating plate quickly.
7.9.5 Join the two melted ends quickly and keep the direction valve on the “forward” for a short time and then push back to the middle position to keep pressure. At this time, readings in pressure gauge is the set fusion pressure (if not, adjust it by acting on pressure regulation valve).
7.9.6 Push down the cooling time button when cooling begins. After the cooling time elapses, the buzzer alarms. Relive the system pressure by acting on pressure relief valve, open the clamps and remove the joints.
7.9.7 Check the joint according to welding process standards.

Reference Welding Standard（DVS2207-1-1995）
8.1Because of different welding standards and PE materials, the time and pressure of phase of fusion process are different. It suggests that t he actual welding parameters should be proved by pipes and fittings manufactures
8.2 Given welding temperature of pipes made from PE、PP and PVDF by DVS standard ranges from180℃ to 270℃. Application temperature of heating plate is within 180～230℃, and its Max. surface temperature can reach 270℃.

9.1.2 The min dimension of every welding part in the welding parts quantities is cut by the band saw according to the angle.
Explanation:
D - outside diameter of the pipe
L - Min length of every part
9.2 The procedure for tees producing
9.2.1 The materials are as the following diagram:
9.2.2 Welding as the diagram structure:
9.2.3 An angle is cut as the diagram
Notice: The dimension “a” should not be less than 20㎜which is as planning margin and compensating meltable bead.

Malfunctions Analyzing And Solutions
10.1 Frequent joints quality problems analyze:
| u Visually check：round bead, good joint |  |
| u Narrow and fall bead. Too high pressure while welding |  |
| u Too small bead. Pressure is not enough while welding |  |
| ◆ There is a ditch between the welding surfaces. Temperature is not enough or change-over time is too long while welding. |
|
| ◆ High & low bead. Different heating time or fusion temperature causes that. |  |
| ◆ Misalignment. Welding under the condition that the misalignment exceeds 10% of pipe wall thickness while align the two ends. |  |
10.2 Maintenance
u PTFE coated heating plate
Please take care on handling the heating mirror in order to avoid damages to the PTFE coating.
Keep always clean the PTFE coated surfaces, cleaning should be done with surface still warm by using a soft cloth or paper, avoiding abrasive materials in that might damage the PTFE coated surfaces.
At regular intervals, we suggest you:
- Clean the surfaces by using a quick evaporation detergent (alcohol)
- Check the tightening of the screws and the cable and plug condition
u Planing tool
It's strongly suggested to keep always clean the blades and wash the pulleys by using a detergent.
At regular intervals carry out a complete cleaning operation with an internal lubrication as well
u Hydraulic unit
The hydraulic unit does not need particular maintenance nevertheless the following instructions must be followed:
a. Check periodically the oil horizontal and in case add with oil type:
The horizontal should not be lower than 5 cm from the tank maximum horizontal.
A checking every 15 working days it's strongly suggested.
b. Replace totally the oil every 6 months or after 630 working hours.
c. Keep clean the hydraulic unit with particular care on the tank and quick couplings.
10.3 Frequent malfunction analyses and solution
During the using, hydraulic unit and electrical units may appear some problems. Frequent malfunction is listed as follows:
