FLANGE ALIGNMENT TOOLS
OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 2
The Equalizer FA4TM and FA9TE TOOLS are aids for use in normal maintenance and installa-
tion procedures, and enable the realignment of misaligned anges within their
respective working capacities. For example, all of the tools can be used to assist in the
replacement of ring and other types of ange joint. The use of these instructions will
promote safe use, and maximize the service life of the tools. It is recommended that the
operator read the relevant sections of this instruction manual for the particular ange
alignment tool to be used.

2. SAFETY INFORMATION
The operator MUST read this manual prior to using the tools.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment
damage and personal injury; read the manual fully!
Read all the following instructions, warnings and cautions carefully. Follow all safety
precautions to avoid personal injury or property damage during system operation.
Equalizer International Ltd cannot be responsible for damage or injury resulting from unsafe
product use, lack of maintenance or incorrect product and/or system operation. Contact
Equalizer International Ltd when in doubt as to the safety precautions and applications. To
protect your warranty, use only good quality hydraulic oil of the grade 32cSt.
Only people competent in the use of mechanical and hydraulic equipment should use these
tools.
In all installations the site safety requirements must be adhered to. ALSO the safety of the
operator, and when present, any assisting personnel, is of paramount importance along with
the safety of others including, when present, the general public.
These instructions are only to cover the safe operation of THE EQUALIZER FA4TM AND
FA9TE FLANGE ALIGNMENT TOOLS, during normal maintenance/installation operations.
All other safety aspects must be controlled by the operation supervisor.

OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 4
A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to
prevent damage to, or destruction of equipment or other property.
A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid
personal injury.
A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even
death.
IMPORTANT: Operator must be competent in
the use of hydraulic equipment. The operator
must have read and understood all instructions,
safety issues, cautions and warnings before
starting to operate the Equalizer equipment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and
possible equipment damage, make sure all
hydraulic components are rated to a safe
working pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi)
WARNING: Do not overload equipment. Over-
loading causes equipment failure and possible
personal injury.
The risk of overloading can be avoided by using
the Equalizer Hand Pump, which has its safety
valve set to 700 bar by the factory. If alternative
pumps are used, ensure they are rated at a safe
working pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi).
CAUTION: Make sure that all system compo-
nents are protected from external sources of
damage, such as excessive heat, ame, mov-
ing machine parts, sharp edges and corrosive
chemicals.
CAUTION: Avoid sharp bends and kinks that
will cause severe back-up pressure in hoses.
Bends and kinks lead to premature hose failure.
Do not drop heavy objects onto hoses. A sharp
impact may cause internal damage to hose wire
strands; applying pressure to a damaged hose
may cause it to rupture. Do not place heavy
weights on the hoses, or allow vehicles to roll
over the hoses; crush damage will lead to pre-
mature hose failure.
WARNING: Immediately replace worn
or damaged parts with genuine Equalizer
parts. Equalizer parts are designed to t
properly and withstand rated loads. For
repair or maintenance service contact your
Equalizer distributor or service centre.
DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep
hands and feet away from the tool and
workpiece during operation.
WARNING: Always wear suitable clothing
and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
DANGER: Do not handle pressurised hos-
es. Escaping oil under pressure can pen-
etrate the skin, causing serious injury. If
oil is injected under the skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
WARNING: Never pressurize unconnected
couplers. Only use hydraulic equipment in
a connected system.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equip-
ment by the hoses or couplers. Use the car-
rying handle or other means of safe trans-
port.
CAUTION: Do not operate the equipment
without lubricating all moving parts as in
section 5.4, 6.4 & 7.4. Use only high pres-
sure molybdenum disulphide grease.

4. FLANGE MISALIGNMENT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
The tool being used must not be attached to a anged joint prior to the misalignment
procedure being carried out.
4.1 LATERAL MISALIGNMENT
1. Loosen and remove every second bolt around the ange , continue with this until
misalignment occurs.
A anged joint, once broken down, may spring out of alignment at any point, or in
any direction around its circumference. Misalignment may not occur until only a few
bolts remain.
2. At this point the direction of any misalignment should become obvious. The
alignment tool being used should be attached at the maximum point of misalignment
(point A or B in the examples shown below).
POINT A
POINT B POINT A
POINT B

OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 7
4.2 ROTATIONAL (TWIST) MISALIGNMENT
If the outer circumference of the anges
are in alignment but the operator is unable
to t 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.
1. Attach the alignment tool at the
most accessible/convenient point
(as shown in sections) and use it to
push the anges out of alignment
until one pair of bolt-holes becomes
parallel.
2. Insert the bolt into the aligned bolt-
hole and release the alignment tool.
The load will transfer onto the bolt.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 at other points
around the ange until all of the
remaining bolt-holes are parallel and
the rest of the bolts can be inserted.

5.2 HOW THE FA4TM WORKS
1. The FA4TM is secured to the lower of the two anges by fully inserting the
lift hook into the bolt-hole at the point of greatest misalignment.
2. The drop leg is adjusted down to the pipe while the tool is held level in the bolt-hole
3. The wing retaining screw is loosened to allow the wing to be extended out.
4. The screw bolt is turned clockwise until the friction pad comes into contact with the
circumference of the opposite ange.
5. The torque wrench is set to 50 ft/lbs (max), attached to the screw bolt and turned to
screw down on the ange, bringing the joint into alignment.
