Twin/Multi-Line Separation
1
Set-Up –
Position twinned or
multi-line hose assembly so that
it lies flat on work surface with-
out tendency to twist or turn.
Measure
hose to length – Mea-
sure and mark the length that
the hoses are to be separated
(
commonly referred to as Split-
back Length).
3
Lubricate –
Lightly lubricate the
web area between the hoses.
Distribute the lubricant uniformly
along the web of the assembly
to be separated. Any lightweight
oil will suffice (SAE 10 or 20).
The function of the oil is to
reduce the friction of the knife
blade so that it naturally seeks
the center of the valley formed
by the hoses. This eliminates
the need for the operator to
steer the knife.
Factory-built assemblies are available using twin/multi-line hoses. When field-built assemblies
are preferred, the following steps must be taken.
