Dixon CI9 User manual

CI9
Large Diameter Coupling Inserter
Operating Instructions
Mark hose to show where the end of the stem will be
when the stem is fully inserted.
1. Wrap chains around hose so that each chain tail
is 180° from the other, and so that the chains are
behind the line drawn in step 1. Be sure that the
chains are wrapped as tight as possible.
2.
Lubricate the stem and ID of the hose with Dixon
lube. Start the stem into the hose by hand so that the
stem won't grab the end of the hose.
3. Place the correct pusher plate on the end of the stem
so that the stem is seated tight to the plate.
4.
Place the cylinder end of the coupling inserter on the
stud of the pusher plate as shown. Pull the chains
through the holes in the coupling inserter as shown
below. Be sure that the chains are pulled as tight as
possible, and are locked into the narrow sides of the
coupling inserter beam.
5. Extend the cylinder to insert the tting. If the coupling
inserter begins to rock to one side, STOP extending
the cylinder and reposition the chains as described in
step 2.
6.

If the cylinder runs out of stroke before the coupling is
fully inserted, grasp the cylinder and push it towards
the tting while releasing the pressure. Unlock and
pull the chains tight and relock the chains.
7. Continue inserting the tting as described in step 6.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the tting is fully inserted.
8.
Unlock the chains and remove the coupling inserter
beam from the pusher plate.
