Basic Installation Procedure

1. Check to make sure you have all segments and Slide-Locks as recommended by ordering procedure.

2. Take the segments and align the buckles. Insert the buckles 1/4 of the way into the slots.

3. Locate directional arrow on segment and insert Slide-Lock until the tip exits the end of the segment.

4. Continue the process from the previous step until all segments are put together. You are now ready to wrap the Ranger II around the pipe. NOTE: In tight installation areas, you might need to break the belt into two parts and then wrap the Ranger II around the pipe.

7B. Re-insert Slide-Locks completely into segment by lightly tapping Slide-Lock back into position while holding the Slide-Lock against pipe.

7. Continue steps 7A and 7B until Ranger II is secure against carrier pipe and unable to move.
