Operating Instructions

Static line I is attached to one end of pipe about 10 feet from bending shoe. Sideboom load line J is attached to other end of pipe (for maximum bending force, load line should be attached about 10 feet from bending shoe). Pulling on load line draws pipe into bending shoe E.
