Loading
To load the tool in the unit set the tool into the vise or benchrench as needed. Adjust the vee-
saddle or pump support to support the tool. Position the tong for make up or break out as
needed and set the tong onto the tool. Attach the tong to the cylinder with the quick release
pin.
CAUTION:
The vee-saddle or pump support must be used to support the tool while torquing.
Breaking Out
Load the tool and adjust the tong and vise as described above. Fully ratchet the tong. Slowly
increase the system pressure until the connection is broken loose or the working load of the
tong is reached. Do not exceed the rating of the tong. Consult with GEARENCH as
needed for help with the toughest break out jobs. After the initial breakout, the tong may
be unpinned from the cylinder and operated by hand until the connection is fully loosened.
Making Up
Load the tool and adjust the tong and vise as described above. Make up the connection hand
tight using the tong. Pin the tong to the cylinder. Fully extend the cylinder. Retract the
cylinder increasing the pressure on the cylinder until the desired torque is reached.
