3. Cut the upper drop tube where marked, using the <br /> Franklin Fueling Systems pipe cutter. ► <br /> a. If using the Franklin Fueling Systems Pipe Cutter, <br /> tighten the handle in very small increments (<1/10 <br /> turn per every 2 rotations of the tool). <br /> To get the cut started and keep the cutter from <br /> "walking", tighten the blade against the tube just <br /> enough to make contact. Then rotate one full turn <br /> in one direction. <br /> Next, rotate one full turn in the opposite direction. <br /> Tighten the cutter approximately 1/10th of a turn <br /> and repeat until a good scribe line is created. <br /> Overtightening the cutter wheel will result in <br /> crimping of the aluminum tube, which will cause the <br /> end to be too small for the adapter to fit inside. <br /> b. If using a metal cutting saw blade, make sure to <br /> cut as squarely as possible. Using the band clamp Mark Location on Drop Tube <br /> supplied with the warning tag as a guide will aid in Figure 6:Mark the Drop Tube <br /> cutting squarely. 3. Install the drop tube gasket onto the upper drop <br /> 4. Using the half-round file, deburr the inside of the tube (Dual Point Installation, Figure 7). <br /> tube. Check to see if the upper tube adapter fits <br /> inside the upper drop tube— if not, more deburring <br /> may be needed. <br /> 5. Cut the lower drop tube as marked, using the FFS <br /> pipe cutter or a saw with a metal cutting blade. <br /> a. If cutting the lower drop tube at a 45 deg angle, <br /> make sure the lowest point of the drop tube <br /> does not project within the minimum clearance Drop Tube Gasket Installed <br /> specified by the tank manufacturer(or per local (note orientation) <br /> requirements). <br /> Installing the Upper Tube Adapter <br /> 1. Replace the cutting wheel on the Franklin Fueling 14 <br /> Systems Pipe Cutter with the Roller Tool (Figure 5) Figure 7:Drop Tube Gasket Installed <br /> 4. Check to make sure the O-rings are installed on <br /> the upper tube adapter. <br /> _ 5. Insert the upper tube adapter into the cut end of the <br /> upper drop tube. <br /> 6. Position the Roller Tool over the mark and lightly <br /> Pipe Cutter tighten. <br /> 7. To get the cut started and keep the roller from <br /> "walking", tighten the roller against the tube just <br /> tenough to make contact. Then rotate one full turn <br /> in one direction and then rotate one full turn in the <br /> opposite direction. Tighten the roller approximately <br /> Cutting Wheel 1/10th of a turn and repeat until the groove is <br /> complete. <br /> Roller Tool <br /> Figure 5:Pipe Cutter and Roller Tool <br /> 2.
