remOvIng tHe ClAmp

When releasing the clamp from a charged hose, use extreme caution due to the stored energy potential which will be transmitted to the handle as the

jaws are opened. The clamp may tend to move back towards the pressure source as the clamp is opened and therefore, one foot should be placed on

the downstream foot pad. Place the other foot back of the unit for maximum body stability (see sketches; foot positions C/D and G/H). Grasp the handle

firmly with one hand and hold the handle down while releasing the latch with the other hand. Hold the latch up and very slowly raise the handle a few

inches until the latch is not able to snap back into the locked position. Before moving the handle any further, firmly grasp the end with both hands. Allow

the handle to come up slowly. As the handle travels upward, the force pushing the handle up will increase until the jaws are as wide as the hose. Do

NoT rELEASE yoUr GrASP oF THE HANDLE UNTIL THE jAWS ArE FULLy oPENED.
