While 2 people support the T-handle, remove the pump rod clamp.
-
Lower the T-handle gently until the pump rod is supporting itself.
-
-
-
Securely clamp and tighten the pipe elevator to the riser main below the spout exit.
-
-
-
Being careful not to let the rope slip, use the block and tackle to lift the riser main until the pipe elevator reaches the block and tackle.

Once the riser main has reached the block and tackle, tighten the base clamp against the riser main.
-
-
-
While supporting the top portion of the pipe, carefully move the elevator clamp off of the pipe.

Remove the elevator clamp from the riser main, and secure it to the tripod to keep it out of the way.
-
-
-
Using a pipe wrench, unscrew the first section of the riser main from the connection.
-
