SAFETY DEFINITIONS

The safety signal word designates the degree or level of hazard seriousness.

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or

moderate injury.

CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in property damage.

IMPORTANT: Important is used when action or lack of action can cause equipment failure, either immediate or

over a long period of time

WARNING: To prevent personal injury:

Read Instruction Manual before operation. For the latest revision of the instruction sheet please visit

the “Resources” page on our Website.

IMPORTANT: For instructions specific to the various system components refer to the related individual

instruction sheet.

IMPORTANT: The following procedures must be performed by qualified, trained personnel who are familiar

with this equipment. Operators must read and understand all safety precautions and operating instructions

included with equipment. If the operator cannot read these instructions, operating instructions and safety

precautions must be read and discussed in the operator’s native language.

• These products are designed for general use in normal environments. These products are not designed

for lifting and moving people, agri-food machinery, certain types of mobile machinery, or in special work

environments such as: explosive, flammable, or corrosive. Only the user can decide the suitability of this

product in these conditions or extreme environments. Power Team will supply information necessary to

help make these decisions. Consult your nearest Power Team facility.

Safety glasses must be worn at all times by the operator and anyone within sight of

the unit. Additional personal protection equipment may include: face shield, goggles, gloves, apron, hard

hat, safety shoes, and hearing protection. Check for local safety requirements and obey all safety rules and

regulations in force at the job site.

• The owner of this tool must ensure that safety-related decals are installed, maintained, and replaced if they

become hard to read.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4Form No. 1000853

Rev. 4 October 8, 2018

SPREADER

DANGER: To prevent serious personal injury or death:

Do not exceed rated capacities of the spreader. Excess pressure may result in personal injury. Maximum

operating pressure is 700 bar (10,000 psi).

• Avoid off-center loads that could damage the spreader and/or cause loss of the load.

• Read and understand all safety and warning decals and instructions for devices attached.

• Inspect each Spreader and coupler before each shift or usage to prevent unsafe conditions from

developing.

• Do not use the Spreader if damaged, altered or in poor condition.

• Do not use the Spreader with bent or damaged couplers or damaged port threads.

• Avoid pinch points or crush points that can be created by the load or parts of the Spreader.

To help prevent personal injury, do not allow personnel to go under or work on a load before it is

properly cribbed or blocked. All personnel must be clear of the load before lowering.

• Never use extreme heat to disassemble a hydraulic Spreader or cylinder. Metal fatigue and/or seal damage

will result and can lead to unsafe operating conditions.

IMPORTANT:

• Keep the Spreader clean at all times.

• When the Spreader is not in use, keep the shoes fully retracted.

• Use an approved, high-grade pipe thread sealant to seal all hydraulic connections. Teflon tape can be used

if only one layer of tape is used and it is applied carefully (two threads back) to prevent the tape from being

pinched by the coupler and broken off inside the pipe end. Any loose pieces of tape could travel through

the system and obstruct the flow of fluid or cause jamming of precision-fit parts.

• Always use protective covers on disconnected quick couplers.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The SPX Hydraulic Spreader is a hydraulically operated tool.

• The spreader uses the integrated wedge concept.

• It is used to spread flanges in order to create space for cleaning and repairing flange surfaces and gasket

replacement.

• The spreader is actuated by a single acting cylinder.

• The spreader must be powered by an SPX hand pump.

5Form No. 1000853

Rev. 4 October 8, 2018

BENEFITS

• Corrosion protected for offshore market by means of nickel plating.

• Easy to change wearing parts and easy to maintain.

• Quick adjustment to various tasks due to interchangeable shoes (serrated, stepped).

APPLICATIONS

Wedge spreaders can be used for: pipe and flange repair, removing of elbows, removing of couplers,

gasket and metal seals replacement, maintenance/replacement of valve and control equipment, general

spreading applications in the oil and gas industry, and general repair and maintenance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FLANGE OPENING

• After loosening/removing flange bolts insert wedge spreader(s) at least up to the gripping surfaces of the

spreader shoes and gradually apply pressure via the pump. Maximum operating pressure is 700 bar

(10,000 psi). Visually check that flanges are seperating accordingly. At end of tool stroke insert stepped

block before gradually reducing pressure on the wedge spreader.

• Repeat previous steps until you reach maximum flange opening possible with inserted stepped block

(see fig. 2).

FLANGE CLOSING

• In order to close a flange you have to insert the spreader at ±80% stroke of tool. Take over the load from

the stepped block onto the spreader before removing said stepped block one step back. Gradually reduce

pressure to let the load be taken by the next smaller step of the stepped block.

• Repeat previous steps until you reach full flange closing. Replace and tighten flange bollts.

6Form No. 1000853

Rev. 4 October 8, 2018

RECOMMENDATION

• It is recommended that two spreaders be used in tandem.

• Single spreader use is possible but depends on the job at hand.

• Tandem use will give an even spread to the joint.

• The spreaders should be set at 180° apart (see fig.1).

• The spreader needs to be inserted at least as far as the gripping surface to prevent wedge from slipping

out.

• The spreader can be used throughout the whole of the shoes’ gripping surfaces.

fig. 1 fig. 2

IMPORTANT

• Make sure the tool is in fully retracted closed position before

inserting the flange spreader in between the flange faces in

order to fully engage the flange spreader shoes.

• At the beginning of the spread operation check the correct

full engagement of the flange spreader shoes and the grip

between the tool and the flange faces.

• The stepped block shall be inserted into the joint after the tool

has reached full advanced open position.

• After positioning the stepped block, working pressure should

be lowered gradually in order to set the load onto the stepped

block.

• Always ensure that the tool has even and thorough contact

with the work piece.

SB15

STEPPED BLOCK

WARNING

Never place fingers in a joint held by activated wedge unless a stepped block is also located within the

joint.

7Form No. 1000853

Rev. 4 October 8, 2018

CAUTION

• An optional spreader handle is available. SPX recommends the use of this handle to minimize the

possibility of operators’ fingers being caught within a joint during the extend or retract process.

• Never hammer or force spreader to create or access a gap.

• Don’t operate the equipment without lubricating the internal interface between the wedge and the shoes.

WEDGE USE

• It is recommended that two spreaders be used in tandem position. (See fig.1)

• This will give an even spread to the joint.

• Two hydraulic spreaders can easy be used simultaneously when used in combination with an SPX hand

pump, split-flow manifold and hydraulic hoses.

DISASSEMBLY / MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• Regularly inspect all components to detect any problem requiring service or maintenance.

• To prolong the life of your SPX equipment, follow points below:

1. Clean and grease contact surfaces shown below with high pressure quality grease.

2. Ensure smooth rotation of link plate joints and keep them lightly greased.

3. Keep general tool condition clean.

• (Upper Left Picture) – Unscrew the indicated screws

about 4 mm (.2 inches) to “unlock” the shoes. Work the

shoes loose from the residual grease to open them.

• (Lower Right Picture) – Clean the indicated surfaces

with a degreasing agent. Then, re-grease the same

with quality, high-pressure grease. Close the shoes and

torque (tighten) the screws to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
