3. Use the FFS pipe cutter to cut the upper drop tube where marked. (If you are using an <br />OPW® inlet tube, you must remove the flanged end.) <br />NOTE: Tighten the tool handle less than a tenth of a turn for every two times you rotate the tool. <br />a. Tighten the blade against the tube just enough to make contact, and then rotate one <br />full turn in one direction. <br />b. Rotate one full turn in the opposite direction, and then tighten the cutter approximately <br />one tenth of a turn. <br />c. Repeat this process until there is a good scribe line. <br />IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the cutter wheel, otherwise the end of the tube could be <br />crimped, which can cause it to be too small to fit the adapter. <br />4. Use the half -round file to deburr the inside of the upper drop tube, and then test fit the <br />adapter to see if it fits inside the tube. If the adapter does not fit, continue deburring, and <br />then test fit the adapter again. If the adapter still does not fit, contact FFS Technical Service. <br />5. Use the FFS pipe cutter to cut the lower drop tube where marked. <br />Use a metal saw if you have to cut the lower drop tube to a 45 degree angle. Make sure the <br />lowest point of the drop tube does not extend into the minimum clearance specified by the <br />tank manufacturer (or according to local requirements). <br />INSTALL THE UPPER DROP TUBE ADAPTER <br />1. Replace the cutting wheel on the Franklin Fueling Systems Pipe Cutter with the Roller Tool. <br />Roller tool I <br />Cutting wheel <br />Pipe cutter <br />2. Start at the cut end of the upper drop tube, and mark the grooves on the tube. <br />
