Installation
Location
The Petol Hydra-Tork Unit should be located in an area with adequate room to work the
downhole tools. The unit may be located indoors or outdoors upon solid ground or a finished
shop floor. No special foundation is required.
Setup
Locate the hydraulic power unit in a convenient location and connect the hoses to the
hydraulic cylinder.
Operation
Controls
Use a hydraulic pressure gauge to indicate the current system pressure in psi. The torque
produced by the Petol Drill Pipe Tongs is dependent on the hydraulic pressure and the
diameter. A conversion chart for equating the hydraulic pressure in psi to the torque output
in ft-lbs follows:
WARNING: Never operate the tong with a pressure higher than required to
perform the make up or break out operation. Operation at excessive pressure
may damage the downhole tool and/or injure personnel.
