4. Setup and Assembly

4.1 Planning Your Structure

Before cutting or assembling, plan your structure carefully. Sketch your design, noting all pipe lengths and connector types required. Accurate measurements are crucial for a stable and functional structure.

4.2 Cutting the Pipe

1. Measure the desired length accurately.
2. Mark the cutting point clearly on the pipe.
3. Place the pipe in a dedicated Erector pipe cutter. Ensure the pipe is firmly seated.
4. Apply even pressure and rotate the cutter around the pipe until it is cleanly severed. Avoid jagged edges.

4.3 Connecting Pipes

YAZAKI Erector pipes are designed to be assembled with various Erector joints (sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with your specific Erector joints for proper connection. Generally, pipes are inserted into the joint and secured with a bolt and nut, or by a friction fit depending on the joint type. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

5. Operating and Usage

Once assembled, your Erector structure is ready for use. Ensure the structure is placed on a stable, level surface. Regularly check the stability of the structure, especially if it holds items or is subject to movement. Do not use the structure for purposes other than its intended design, such as climbing or supporting excessive weight.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe pipes and joints with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the AAS coating.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire structure for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts or replace damaged components immediately.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, clean all components and store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Unstable Structure: Check all connections to ensure they are tight. Verify that pipe lengths were cut accurately and that the structure is on a level surface.
• Difficulty Connecting Pipes: Ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and are free of burrs. Verify that you are using the correct type and size of Erector joint for the 28mm pipe diameter.
• Damaged Coating: Minor scratches can be touched up with appropriate paint if desired, but deep damage may expose the steel core to corrosion. Consider replacing severely damaged pipes.
