4.From the front of machine, install drive shaft through spindle tube up to front cover. A counter-clockwise ro- tation is necessary for drive shaft installation or re- moval.

CAUTION Jaws must be fully open to install or remove

drive shaft.

CAUTION DO NOT install or remove drive shaft through rear chuck. Rear centering fingers could be bent/broken.

5.With carriage away from chuck, carefully place No. 141 Geared Threader on the carriage saddle and install connecting link.

6.From machine rear, rotate and push drive shaft onto square shaft of No. 141. Tighten set screws. Tighten connecting link set screw.

7.With No. 141 set at standard line, rotate carriage handwheel until assembly is 1″ from front chuck cover.

Threading 21/2″ to 4″ Pipe (45 RPM)

1.Adjust No. 141 Geared Threader and install on 1822-I Threading Machine.

2.Support pipe with a pipe stand.

3.Insert pipe into the throat of dies and tighten work- holder and clamp screw.

4.Direct oil spout at dies and place oil manifold lever in required position.

5.Place control switch in the CLOSE position and with transmission lever in the 45 RPM position, depress foot switch.

6.Thread until the red stop line appears on pinion sleeve (reference the guide post markings for over- sized or undersized threads).

7.To back off threader, place control switch in the OPEN position and depress foot switch.

8.After 1/4 turn of pipe, stop machine, pull cam plate knobs and rotate cam plate toward “CD” mark of die head.

9.Loosen clamp screw and open workholder. Remove the pipe.

10.Depress foot switch and reset No. 141 to standard line.

CAUTION If threaded barrel becomes disengaged from workholder, it must be re-engaged by hand on a work- bench. DO NOT use power.

NOTE! If a ring gauge is not available, a fitting can be used. This fitting should be representative of those being used on the job. The pipe thread should be cut to obtain 2 to 3 turns hand tight en- gagement with fitting. If pipe thread is not made to the proper diameter, the index line should be moved in the direction of the OVER or UNDER size mark on size bar. (Refer to “Installing Dies In Die Heads”).
