 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the function, operation and maintenance of the Eckel 20 Standard
Hydraulic Power Casing Tong. This section provides a functional description, system
specifications, and a description of options and accessories available. Section 2 through 5
present the operating and maintenance aspects of the tong and Section 6 provides a fully
illustrated parts list.
The 20 Standard Tong, Figure 1-1, handles casing sizes as small as 7 inch and as large as
20 inches diameter. The open-throat design, combined with high-speed operation,
assures both ease and speed in tubular handling. A safety door on the open throat helps
insure against accidents. The following paragraphs describes the functions of the tong
during tubular make-up or break-out operations.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating from a hydraulic power unit, the power tong provides torque of 35,000 ft-lbs.
The heart of the unit is a head-closing system which forces the heads together and rotates
them by means of a cam-type rotary gear. The rotary gear is driven by a two-speed gear
train powered from a vane-type hydraulic motor.
In operation, the tong is suspended over the well bore on a chain bridle. Snub lines
restrain the tong from moving around the pipe as torque is applied.
HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM. Figure 1-2 is a hydraulic schematic of the drive
system. Hydraulic pressure from a separate power unit is applied through screw-type
hose connectors having built-in check valves. To prevent cross-connection of the hoses,
the pressure hose from the power unit is designed to mate with a 1-inch connector and the
return hose mates with a 1-1/4 inch connector. Connection of the hoses opens the check
valves to provide hydraulic pressure to the tong.
The tong control levers acts as a throttle valve for the unit. Pushing the lever applies
pressure to drive the motor in a forward direction (for make-up operation) and pulling the
lever applies pressure in a reverse direction (for break-out operation). While the lever is
in a neutral position, fluid circulates freely through the valve and back to the return line.
Refer to Section 3 for tong control lever positions.

An adjustable relief valve permits adjustment of the operating pressure at the tong if
desired, and a built-in pressure gauge indicates the operating pressure at all times. The
maximum pressure available, of course, depends upon the power unit. A power unit
capable of delivering 2,500 PSI at 30 GPM and 1000 PSI at 65 GPM is necessary in order
to obtain the maximum rated output of the power tong.
A hydraulic motor is mounted on the top tong plate through a motor adaptor, and the
other hydraulic plumbing components are also mounted on the top tong plate.
GEAR TRAIN AND CLUTCH FUNCTION. Closure and rotation of the pipe-gripping
heads are accomplished by means of a large rotary gear having its inner diameter formed
into a double cam surface. This topic explains how mechanical power is transmitted
from the hydraulic motor to turn the rotary gear in either direction.
Gear Train Elements. The gear train, Figure 1-3, comprises a motor gear, the clutch
assembly, pinion assembly, pinion idler, two rotary idlers and the rotary gear. The rotary

gear rides on a circle of cam followers that support the gear. The selected high- or low-
speed clutch gear engages the corresponding high or low-speed pinion gear, and the
pinion output gear drives the two pinion idlers gears which in turn drives the two rotary
idlers. In driving the rotary gear, two rotary idler gears are necessary to bridge throat cut
out gap.
Clutch. The clutch assembly (Figure 1-3) provides high- or low-speed operation,
allowing faster operation when high torque is not required. When higher torque is
needed, the low-speed gear permits the operator to slow the speed down and increase the
torque.
The operator shifts the speed by raising or lowering a shifter lever on top of the tong. As
shown in the illustration, lifting the shift lever lifts the shifting yoke, which lifts the
shifting collar. In this position, the shifting collar mechanically couples the clutch shaft
with the high-speed clutch gear. Lowering the shifting lever lowers the shifting yoke
which lowers the shifting collar, thereby mechanically coupling the clutch shaft with the
low-speed clutch gear. Then the selected clutch gear drives the corresponding pinion
gear as previously described. An adjustable spring detent on the shifting shaft holds the
yoke and shifting lever in the selected position until again moved by the operator.
HEAD OPERATIONS. The pivot heads are enclosed within the rotary gear by the top
and bottom cage plates. The heads are closed, rotated and opened by the combined
actions of the rotary gear, brake bands and backing pin.
Rotary Gear/Head Functions. During make-up operations, the pipe to be turned is
first enclosed in the tong, and the throat safety door is closed. Then with the backing pin
in the make-up position (described later) the operator pushes the tong control lever
forward to cause the heads to bite and rotate the pipe. To release the heads and back off
from the pipe, the operator pulls the tong control lever outward.
During break-out operations, the backing pin is placed in the break out position so that
the heads bite in the reverse direction (see Backing Pin Function). Then the operator
pulls the tong control lever to cause the heads to bite and break out the pipe. Finally, he
pushes the lever forward to release the heads and back them off the pipe.
As illustrated in Figure 1-4, the head-biting action is a function of the rotary gear inner
surface cam design. When the rotary gear begins to rotate, the head rollers roll up on the

cam surface and force the pivot heads inward until the heads bite the pipe. Further
rotation then turns the pipe to make-up (or break-out) the joint.
Rotary Gear and Head Cage Rotation. Figure 1-5 illustrates the cam follower
rollers that permit the semi-independent rotation of the cage plates and rotary gear. The
figure illustrates how the top cage plate is free to rotate on a ring of cam follower rollers
following a groove in the rotary gear. The rotary gear also turns independently on this
circle of cam followers. The bottom cage plate rotates on a ring of cam follower rollers
identically with the top cage plate. This plate is bolted to the top cage plate to enclose the
heads. The heads are forced in to bite the pipe as brought about by the cam action of the
rotary gear on the head rollers.

Brake Band Function. Consider again the actions of the rotary gear cam and heads in
view of the freedom that the cage plates have to rotate. It becomes evident that, if the
cage plates have unrestrained freedom to rotate, the heads will simply move with the
rotary gear and will not cam up on the rotary cams to force the biting action. Figure 1-6
illustrates how brake bands are placed around the cage top and bottom plates to exert
continuous friction on these plates and to restrict their freedom to move.
Thus it is evident that the brake bands do not permit the cage plates (and heads) to turn
freely when the rotary gear turns. Rather, the cage plates are held stationary as the head
rollers roll up onto the cam surfaces to force the heads in against the pipe. As the heads
bite the pipe, the friction of the brake bands is overcome. Then the cage plates begin to
rotate with the rotary gear, thus turning the pipe that is now gripped firmly by the heads.
Backing Pin Function. The backing pin shown in Figure 1-5 permits the heads to bite
in the forward direction for make-up and in the reverse direction for break-out.
When the pin is placed in the left-hand hole, forward operation causes the heads to bite
and rotate to make up the joint. However, reverse operation causes the backing lug to
strike the backing pin and force the cage plates around with the rotary gear. Thus, in the
reverse direction, the head rollers cannot cam up on the rotary cam and the heads do not
bite.
If the backing pin is placed in the right-hand hole, the opposite action occurs and reverse
operation causes the heads to bite, while forward operation causes the backing lug to
strike the backing pin and force the head cage around with the rotary gear, thus inhibiting
the heads from biting in the forward direction.
In summary then: for make-up, the backing pin is placed in the left-hand hole and the
heads bite in forward direction; and for break-out, the backing pin is placed in the right-
hand hole and the heads bite in the reverse direction.
Open Throat and Safety Door. The open throat design permits ease of operation
by permitting entry of vertical pipe that projects above the level of the tong. For safety
purposes it is necessary that the throat opening be closed during operation to prevent
personnel injuries or damage to the equipment. A safety door (Figure 1-6) serves both
to close off the front during operation and to provide an extra margin of support for the
housing during high-torque operation. An optional Door Interlock (Figure 6-9) device
adds additional margin of safety, preventing the tong from operating while the tongs
door is open.

 SPECIFICATIONS
The specifications for an operating tong must consider the hydraulic power unit as well as
the tong itself.
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT SPECIFICATIONS. The power tong is designed to be
powered by a hydraulic power unit capable of delivering at least 2500 pounds per square
inch (PSI) for maximum rated operating torque.
At least 65 gallons of hydraulic oil per minute, depending upon the power unit used, are
required to operate the tong at maximum RPM.
TONG SPECIFICATIONS. Table 1-1 list the specifications for the Eckel 20 Standard
Casing Tong.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

Options for the 20 Standard Tubing Tong include lift cylinder with lift cylinder control,
spring hanger, torque gauge, door interlock and rpm control. The optional items are
described in the following paragraphs.
LIFT CYLINDER AND CONTROLS. A lift cylinder as illustrated in Figure 2-3 is
optionally supplied with the 20" tong. This cylinder provides a means for raising and
lowering the tong during operations.
Lift Cylinder. The lift cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder attached to the tong suspension
and used for positioning the tong vertically on the pipe thus eliminating the need for a

 counter-balance weight. The lift cylinder is controlled from the tong valve stack utilizing
the tong system pressure. Maximum pressure for the cylinder is 3,000 psi. Maximum
vertical travel is 6 feet.
Lift Cylinder Controls. When a lift cylinder is ordered with a tong, the tong contains
an additional control lever for controlling the lift cylinder movement. The control lever-
operated valve is identical to the tong operating control lever. This lever is illustrated in
Figure 3-1 and its operation is shown in Figure 3-2 and Table 3-1. Pulling the control
lever outward provides hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic power unit to operate the
lift cylinder upward, and thus raise the tong. While pushing the control lever forward
operates the cylinder downward to lower the tong. The center lever position is the neutral
position and does not operate the cylinder in either direction.
SPRING HANGER. The optional spring hanger (Figure 2-3) is designed to permit the
tong to move up or down to allow for thread length in make-up and break-out operations.
When used, the spring hanger should be attached directly to the tong bridle ring and used
as a hanger for the tong.
TORQUE GAUGE ASSEMBLY. The optional torque gauge assembly (Figure 2-2) is
used to measure the torque exerted in make-up or break-out operations. Consisting of a
hydraulic cylinder and torque gauge connected together by a pressure hose, the torque
gauge assembly senses and indicates the torque developed during an operation. For
operation, the hydraulic cylinder is connected by a shackle to the rear of the tong; and a
snub line is connected to the cylinder. The snub line is tied off to a solid part of the rig
structure to form an angle of 90° in order for the gauge to indicate accurate torque
readings.
WARNING: We recommend the following wire rope snub line for the minimum safety
! Warning requirements: 3/4" Diameter, IPS Grade, 6 x 37 Class, 6 x 36 IWRC Construction.
Pressure/Torque Gauge. An optional pressure torque gauge is available which works
in relationship with the amount of hydraulic pressure in the tong. The gauge has two
scales on its face, high and low. Depending on what speed you are operating the tong will
determine which of the scales to read. This type of torque gauge is required on the tong
when it is impossible to get an accurate reading from a snub line operated gauge. The
gauge is mounted any where on the pressure side of the hydraulic system.
DOOR INTERLOCK. The door interlock device (Figure 6-12) is an optional added
safety feature that Eckel Manufacturing Co., Inc. offers with its tongs. The door interlock
device impedes hydraulic •uid from reaching the motor when the tongs door is open thus
preventing tong operation.
RPM CONTROL. The RPM Control as shown in Figure 6-14 is a •ow divider that
decreases the amount of hydraulic •uid that reaches the tong, the remaining •uid is
returned to the reservoir. By decreasing the amount of •uid reaching the tong the operator
is able to control the maximum RPM's the tong will deliver.

 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Installation of the power tong requires consideration of the tong itself, the hydraulic
power unit to be used, and the accessories that will be required.
TONG CONSIDERATIONS. The 20 Standard Tubing Tong is capable of handling
pipe sizes from 7 inch to 20 inch in outside diameter. The heads to be used with the
tongs, of course, depend upon the size pipe being used. Refer to Table 1-1, Specifica-
tions for the various heads provided with the tong.
Head Installation. Install the correct size heads according to the following procedure.
! WARNING: Do not attempt to change heads with power unit in operation. Failure to
Warning observe proper precautions could be extremely hazardous and result in loss of a hand or
arm.
1. Remove two head pivot bolts, Figure 1-6.
2. Swing in and lift out the heads.
3. Select proper heads for pipe to be worked and install in head cage in reverse
order of steps 1 and 2.
Tong Space Requirements. You should consider the space requirements of the tong,
both in storage and in operation. Figure 2-1 give the tong dimensions.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS. Before installing the tong for field operations, you
must be sure that an appropriate power unit is available and that the power unit is
adjusted for use with the tong. To operate the tong within its full capability, the relief
valve on the hydraulic power unit should be adjusted to 2500 pounds per square inch.
Refer to power unit manual for the procedure on power unit valve adjustments.
Accessory Considerations. Tong installation requires that the necessary accessories
be available for the type of operation to be performed.
Installation of Torque Gauge Assembly. Measurement of the applied torque
requires a torque gauge assembly installed on the equipment. Once installed, the torque
gauge assembly becomes an integral part of the unit. To install the torque gauge on the
tong, proceed as follows:
1. Using three mounting screws, mount torque gauge into position on torque
gauge plate, Figure 2-2.
2. Route hose to avoid interference with tong operation.

WARNING: The tong should be secured for both make-up or break-out operation, by
! Warning utilizing the snub line. If this is not done, the tong may be thrown against operator
causing physical harm.
4. Attach the other end of the snub line to a part of the rig structure that is rigid
enough to withstand the line-pull. Please note that an angle of 90° must be
maintained between the tong and snub line for the gauge to indicate accurate
torque readings.
Lift Cylinder Considerations. If the tong suspension line is not counter balanced, a
lift cylinder should be used. Also, if an Eckel lift cylinder is to be used, the tong must be
equipped with an additional control valve and lever. The lift cylinder should be sus-
pended from the line that will hang the tong as shown in Figure 2-3.
Spring Hanger Consideration. A typical spring hanger installation is shown in
Figure 2-3. For a counter-balanced support line, the spring hanger is suspended from the
line. When a lift cylinder is used, the spring hanger may be installed above or below the
lift cylinder as described.
HANGING THE TONG. The tong is transported to the well site and hung into position
as illustrated in Figure 2-3 and as follows:
Caution CAUTION: Do not hook lift-line on turnbuckels. Be sure bridle chains are clear of
valves and controls.
1. Connect bridle to tong.
2. Using the cat line on drilling rig, or a specially rigged line, lift tong to desired
height in the work area and secure. Be sure the lift cylinder or counter-balance
system is properly in place and functioning.
3. Connect snub line to hydraulic cylinder of torque gauge assembly to restrain
tong roation and to provide torque readings for make-up or break-out opera-
tions.
WARNING: We recommend the following wire rope snub line for the minimum safety
! Warning requirements: 3/4" Diameter, IPS Grade, 6 x 37 Class, 6 x 36 IWRC Construction.
4. Secure other end of snub line to a solid part of rig at a 90-degree angle from the
tongs center line.

11
 5. Secure a snub line on the opposite side of the tong to prevent backlash of the
tong and possible injury to the operator and crew.
6. Adjust the turnbuckles as necessary to level the tong to ensure an even bite on
the casing. This is done by first placing tong on pipe, and taking all slack out of
the snub line.

CONNECTING HYDRAULIC HOSES

The hydraulic couplings, Figure 2-3, contain check valves to prevent loss of hydraulic
fluid when the lines are disconnected. The check valves are closed until the hydraulic
hoses are connected. Proper tightening of the hydraulic hose connectors opens these
check valves. However, pressure may be in the tong when the lines are disconnected so
that the valves resist opening. In such case, the connectors may seem to reach the end of
thread travel when, in reality, the check valve operation is restricting further tightening.
When making up these connections you should be sure that you have tightened the
couplings tight and have not simply reached a "false" tightening due to the resistance of
the check valves.
Connect the hoses as follows:
1. Disable power unit, never connect or disconnect hoses when unit is in operation.
CAUTION: To be sure connectors are completely tight, first tighten them until travel
is restricted and the end of the thread travel appears to be reached. Then try to
Caution tighten the connector further to be sure first restriction was not a false tightness. Then
continue to tighten the fitting until connection is tight.
2. Hook up pressure hose to 1-inch fitting on tong by forcing connectors together
while turning the wing nut.
3. Hook up return hose from power unit to 1-1/4 inch connector on tong, as
described in step 2.
4. If a lift cylinder is used, hook up the hose from lift cylinder to connector
provided on tong.
5. Start power unit and allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through tong until fluid
reaches operating temperature. Refer to Table 1-1 for operating temperatures.
NOTE: This period will vary according to the ambient temperature. In severe
Important weather conditions, you may need to operate system for several minutes before using
tong. On the other hand, in warm climates a very brief warm-up period will be
adequate.
6. While system warms up, check connections to be sure that no leaks occur.
Retighten connection if leaking.
Important NOTE: Refer to Table 4-2 under lubrication for recommended hydraulic fluid.
WARNING: When replacing hydraulic hoses, piping and fittings, be sure replacement
! components are rated at no less than 3,000 PSI working pressure and 10,000 PSI
Warning burst pressure.

PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE. The following precautions should be observed to
ensure safe operation.
1. Be sure that the operating personnel are checked out on proper operation of
tong, and be sure that they are aware of safety requirements.
2. Be sure that all lines and equipment associated with hanging and securing tong
are of adequate size and good condition.

PRE-OPERATING CHECKS
After installation, you should check out the system to be sure that any necessary adjust-
ments are made and that the system is functioning correctly. Before attempting opera-
tion, verify that the following initial adjustments have been made.
POWER UNIT OUTPUT PRESSURE. Determine that the power unit output pressure
has been properly adjusted. If you do not know, refer to the instruction manual on the
power unit and perform the output pressure adjustment procedure for the required
pressure.
TONG PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. If a relief pressure is to be set on the tong,
verify that the setting has been made previously; or if you do not know, refer to the
maintenance section for the proper procedures.
BRAKE BANDS. Determine if the brake bands have been adjusted properly. If
necessary perform the pre-operational check to make this determination. Refer to the
Maintenance Section for adjustment of the brake bands.

 OBSERVING THE OPERATING FUNCTIONS. Before starting a new job and each
day before the work begins, perform the following operations and be sure the tong
responds correctly.
WARNING: Before operating tong, verify the handle locations below apply to your
! Warning specific tong. Inadequate pre-operational check of tong could result in injury.
The tong should be secured for both make-up or break-out operation, by utilizing the
snub line. If this is not done, the tong may be thrown against operator causing
physical harm.
The following steps refer to handle locations identified in Figure 3-1 and 3-2.
1. Close and latch safety door.
2. Place backing pin in left-hand hole and verify tong is snubbed for both make-up
and break-out operations.
WARNING: We recommend the following wire rope snub line for the minimum safety
! Warning requirements: 3/4" Diameter, IPS Grade, 6 x 37 Class, 6 x 36 IWRC Construction.
3. Start power unit and allow hydraulic oil to come up to operating temperature.
4. Move shifting lever (C) to high-speed (up) and push tong control lever (A)
forward and verify that heads bite and cage plates turn at high speed.
5. Return control lever to neutral and move the shifting lever (C) to the low speed
position (down).
6. Push tong control lever (A) forward and verify that heads bite and cage plates
turn at low speed.
7. Return control lever (A) to neutral.
8. Use tong control lever to operate tong so that cage plates and rotary gear
openings are aligned with the throat openings.
9. Place backing pin in right-hand (break-out position) hole. Repeat steps 2
through 6 to check break-out operation.
NOTE: If the heads fail to bite, the brake bands probably need adjustment. Adjust the
Important bands as described in the topic on Initial Adjustments in the Maintenance Section.
10. If lift cylinder option is installed, pull lift cylinder control lever (B) Figure 3-1,
back and verify that cylinder operates to lift tong.
11. Push lift cylinder control lever (B) Figure 3-1, forward and verify the cylinder
lowers the tong.

TYPICAL OPERATING SEQUENCE

INITIAL OPERATIONS. After the tong is transported to job site, hoisted into operating
position, snubbed, leveled, and connected with power unit as described in Installation
Section, proceed as follows.
1. Be sure shifting lever and control lever(s) are in neutral position and safety door
is closed and latched.
2. Start hydraulic power unit.
3. Perform a pre-operational check and make any required adjustments before
operation.
4. Place backing pin in make-up hole for make-up operation or in break-out hole
for break-out operation (See Figure 3-2.)

 POSITIONING TONG AND ENCLOSING PIPE. After performing the initial
operations, position the tong for the make-up or break-out work to be done.
1. Position the tong at proper height for griping pipe as follows:
a. If tong is installed using a counter balance system, lift or lower tong to
desired position.
b. If a lift cylinder is used, operate the lift cylinder control lever (B) on the
tong to position tong.
2. Place tong on pipe section positioned for make-up or break-out.
3. Close and latch throat safety door, then perform operation as described in next
topic.
4. After operation, open front safety door, remove tong from pipe and close tong
door.
OPERATING THE TONG. To operate the tong, proceed as follows:
WARNING: Be sure no part of the body or clothing is in tong head area and be sure
! Warning no cables or equipment other than tubing are enclosed in throat.
Make-up Operation: Refer to Figure 3-1 and 3-2 for control lever locations.
1. Verify tong is snubbed for both make-up and break-out operations
2. Place backing pin in make-up (left hole) position (Figure 1-5).
3. Begin the operation with the power tong in the low speed mode. In make-up
operation, low speed is required to insure a good start on the threads. Select
low-speed mode by pushing down on the shifting handle (C).
4. Position the tong on the pipe. The tong unit may be raised or lowered by
operating the lift cylinder control (B). Pushing in on the lever lowers the tong
while pulling out on the lever raises the tong. After positioning, close and latch
the safety door.
5. Grip the pipe with the power tong heads and begin rotation by pushing forward
the tong control lever (A).
6. After insuring a good start on the threads. Shift the tong to high speed by pulling
up on the shifitng lever (C) and continue the make-up operation.
NOTE: When using the shift lever (C) to change speeds, the power tong must first
Important come to a complete stop before shifting.
9. Once tong stalls, shift to low speed - high torque mode by pushing down on the
shifting lever (C) and continue torquing operation while observing the torque
gauge reading.
10. When maximum required torque is reached, release the tong control lever (A) to
stop the tong. The control lever is spring returned to center neutral position.
11. To release the pipe and align the door openings, pull back on tong control lever
(A). When the openings are aligned, release the control lever.
12. Unlatch and open the safety door. Remove the tong from the made-up joint and
close the safety door.
13. Reposition the pipe and repeat the operation.
Break-out Operation: Refer to Figure 3-1 and 3-2 for control lever locations.
1. Verify tong is snubbed for both make-up and break-out operations.
2. Place the backing pin in break-out (right hole) position.
4. Begin the operation with the power tong in the low speed mode. In break-out

19
 operation, the low speed mode is required due to the high torque associated with
this mode. Select low speed mode by pushing down on the shifting lever (C).
5. Position the tong on the pipe. The tong unit may be raised or lowered by
operating the lift cylinder control (B). Pushing in on the lever lowers the tong
while pulling out on the lever raises the tong. After positioning, close and latch
the safety door.
6. Grip the pipe and begin rotation by pulling back on the tong control lever (A).
7. After breaking the connection and when torque requirements have fallen off,
shift the tong into high speed by pulling up on the shifting lever (C).
Important NOTE: When using the shift lever (C) to change speeds, the power tong must first
come to a complete stop before shifting.
8. When the joint has been fully broken apart, release the tong control lever (A) to
stop the tong. The control lever is spring return to center neutral position.
9. To release the pipe and align the door openings, push forward on the tong
control lever (A). When the openings are aligned, release the control lever.
10. Unlatch and open the safety door. Remove the tong from the broken-apart joint
and close the safety door.
11. Reposition the pipe and repeat the operation.
CROSS THREADED PIPE. The backing pin may be left out of its hole during make-
up operation to allow for quick tong reversal due to cross-threaded joints. It must be
replaced, however, after each joint completion in order to align the door openings so the
tong can be removed from the pipe.

Tong Grease Points

MOTOR MAINTENANCE. Since the motor is self-lubricating, preventative mainte-

nance is limited to keeping the hydraulic system clean by changing filters frequently. Do
not allow dirt to accumulate on the motor, especially around the shaft seal. Keep all
fittings and screws tightened. Do not operate the motor at pressures or speeds in excess
of the recommended limit

LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is important to the operation and long life of the tong. This topic
describes both the lubricating grease and the hydraulic fluid requirements for the tong.
HYDRAULIC FLUID. Under normal operation the tong should remain charged with
hydraulic fluid even when the hydraulic hoses are disconnected. This is because check
valves at the disconnect points retain the hydraulic fluid within the tong when the
connection is separated. However, should hydraulic fluid be lost from the tong due to
leaks or during maintenance, you should recharge the tong by connecting the hoses from
the hydraulic power unit and operating the tong to purge all air from the system.
GREASE POINTS. At the beginning of each job and daily thereafter while job is in
progress, you should lubricate the various grease points. Over greasing will do no harm,
while under greasing can result in excessive wear. Figure 4-2 shows the lubrication
points and Table 4-1 gives information on the type of grease to be used.
Numbers enclosed in parenthesis refer to grease points identified in Figure 4-2.
1. On top of tong, grease shifting shaft (7).
2. Grease four rotary idler bearings (5), (6), (8), and (9).
3 Grease all upper cam follower bearings (3).

23
 4 Beneath tong, grease clutch assembly (12).
5 Grease all the lower cam follower bearings (10).
CAM FOLLOWERS. When greasing cam follower, lubricate outside of cam follower
rollers as listed below.
NOTE: You must rotate cam and cage plates as necessary to obtain access to cam
Important follower bearings.
1. Use gear grease as described in Table 4-1.
2. Apply grease liberally to outside of each roller.
HEAD ROLLERS. Lubricate head rollers as follows.
1. Knock out head roller pins and grease with gear grease, then replace rollers on
heads. Be sure rollers turn freely.
2. Apply gear grease liberally to outside of head rollers.
GEAR GREASE. To pack the tong with grease refer to Figure 4-2 and Table 4-1, and
proceed as follows.
WARNING: Packing the gears while power unit is operating is extremely dangerous.
! Warning Failure to observe proper precautions in maintaining this unit could result in extreme
personnel hazard.
1. With power unit connected and operating, rotate rotary gear so that opening is
turned to back of tong, Figure 4-2 (1).
2. Disable tong by both of the following methods.
! Warning WARNING: Keep hands out of the head area while the power unit is operating.
a. Disconnect power from the power units electrical motor or turn off diesel
engine as applicable.
b. Disconnect hydraulic pressure line (1-inch line) from tong at hose connec-
tor.
3. Remove cover from inspection door, Figure 4-2 (2).
4. Pack the unit with specified gear grease (see Table 4-1) as follows:
a. Apply grease liberally through opening at back of cage plates, Figure
4-2 (1).
b. Apply grease liberally through inspection door to gear, Figure 4-2 (2).
! Warning WARNING: Failure to disable hydraulic system after operating tong could result in
serious personnel injury.
c. Operate tong to distribute grease, then disable hydraulic power unit and
repeat steps a and b.
5. Replace cover on inspection door.

TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The following test should be made and the adjustments performed as indicated.

1. Place backing pin in Make-up position.
2. Operate the tong several times and verify that the heads bite at each operation.
3. Place backing pin in Break-out position.
4. Operate tong several times and verify that heads rotate out of cam.
5. If heads fail to bite in either Make-up or Break-out position of backing pin,
adjust brake bands.
Brake Band Adjustment. When inspection or test indicates the brake bands require
adjustment, then adjust the brake bands according to the steps given below. Refer to
Figure 4-3 for the adjustment points.
1. Turn each of four brake band adjusting nuts one-fourth turn.
2. Check brake operation as in preceding topic.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary until heads extend from cage plate smoothly.

Important NOTE: A total of one-half to one turn should normally be sufficient.

TORQUE CHECK ADJUSTMENT. The relief valve for the tong may be set to
achieve the maximum torque desired. The following procedures describe the method for
checking and adjusting the relief valve to obtain the torque desired (up to the maximum
torque of the tong). Refer to Figure 4-3 for the adjustment point.
NOTE: Refer to the manual on the power unit and be sure unit is adjusted to provide
Important the required operating pressure.
Maximum Torque Adjustment. Adjust the maximum torque to the desired value
according to the following steps.
1. Verify tong is snubbed for both make-up and break-out operations.
2. Set up tong on tong test stand with tubing coupled or installed so that it can not
turn.
3. Be sure the torque gauge is correctly installed and is in proper operation.

25
 4. Back off relief valve to minimum torque setting.
Important NOTE: Adjustment is extremely difficult to turn when pressure is applied.
5. Incrementally adjust relief valve, then apply pressure and read torque value.
Continue until desired maximum torque value is obtained.
SHIFTING DETENT. The shifting detent that holds the shifting mechanism in the
selected speed is adjustable. This adjustment should be checked at the beginning of a job
and at the start of each shift thereafter, and the detent should be adjusted if required.
Detent Operation Check. Check the operation of the shifting detent as follows.
1. Raise shifting handle to High Speed position and verify that the control snaps
into position.
2. Exert force on shifting lever and verify that lever remains in High Speed
position until considerable force is exerted, then gives way to slide freely to
next position.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Low Speed position.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Neutral position.
5. If above steps indicate need for adjustment, adjust detent.
Detent Adjustment. When an operation check indicates the need to adjust the shifting
detent, refer to Figure 4-3 and adjust the detent as outlined below.
1. Loosen the stop nut on adjusting bolt.
2. Tighten bolt one-half turn.
3. Repeat Detent Operation Check.
4. If mechanism operates properly, tighten stop nut while holding adjusting bolt at
setting obtained in step 2.
5. If additional adjustment is indicated, repeat steps 1 and 3 until proper operation
is achieved.

REPAIR
In general, repair consists of replacing worn or broken parts. When a part is determined
to be faulty, either through inspection or through an operational check, you should
remove the part and replace it with a new part according to the procedures and instruc-
tions in the following topics. The component parts are illustrated and identified in
Section 6.

TONG OVERHAUL
Overhaul consists of disassembling the tong, examining each part, replacing any worn or
damaged parts and then reassembling the tong. All damaged or worn parts are to be
replaced with identical parts as identified in Section 6.
DISASSEMBLY. During overhaul, the tong should be completely disassembled. For
replacement of a faulty part, components need be removed only as required to obtain
access to, and remove, the faulty part. In general, disassembly requirements become
obvious from the figures in the illustrated parts list; however, procedures for performing
disassembly necessary for servicing as well as replacement of certain worn parts are
presented in the parts replacement topic.
REASSEMBLY. Reassembly of a component or of the entire tong consists of replacing
the parts in the reverse order of disassembly, by performing the service outlined in
Section 4. However, certain procedures for performing reassembly after service or during
replacement of certain worn parts are presented in the following topic.
PARTS REPLACEMENT. In general, parts replacement consists of disassembly as
necessary to obtain access to the part to be replaced. However, replacement of certain
parts as required for service and indicated by the functional test is described in this topic.
Brake Band Replacement. Should the brake band become broken or excessively
worn, they are to be replaced in accordance with the following procedure. Numbers in
parenthesis refer to item numbers in figure 6-1.
1. Remove brake band retainer (20) for the top brake band (16).
2. Remove adjusting nuts (18) and bolts (17).
3. Remove brake band (16). Refer to parts list, item 16, for part no. of new band.
4. Grease new brake band before replacement.

B-80 STAFFA MOTOR OVERHAUL

Tools Needed:
Hex wrenches for socket cap screws
3/8"—24 bottoming tap
1/2"—20 bottoming tap
2" to 5" ring compressor
8" bent nose snap ring pliers (internal)
DISASSEMBLY. Clean motor and repair area thoroughly before starting. Set motor on
its end cap with shaft up. Remove shaft nut, washer and key of tapered and straight
shaft models. Remove any burrs or sharp edges of keyway so they will not damage the
shaft seal when the front cover is removed.
Run bottoming tap into the jack screw holes in the front cover and blow them out to
clean them. If these threads are stripped the motor cannot be taken apart. remove the
front cover cap screws.
Turn socket cap screws into jack screw holes until they bottom. Two front cover screws
may be used if socket cap screws are not available. The front cover screws are too
short, however, to lift the plate off. Shim stock will have to be put under them to jack
the plate the rest of the way off. Turn in the screws about one half turn at a time. Turn
them alternately so the plate can come up evenly.
Lift out the top connecting rod retaining ring and lift three connecting rods from the
bottom retaining ring and push them up into the cylinder bores. Screw the eye bolt into
the hole in the shaft and remove the shaft from the motor. Take out the bottom retaining
ring.
Pull each piston-connecting rod assembly back into the crankcase and take them out.
remove the snap ring from the pistons to separate them from the connecting rods. Mark
the cylinders, connecting rods and pistons so they can be returned to the same cylinders.
The pistons and connecting rods are interchangeable, but it is best if they are returned as
they came out.
Lift the Oldham's coupling out of the end of the valve spool. Wedge a round file in the
hole in the end of the valve spool and lift the spool until it can be grasped and lifted out.
If the spool will not come out this way, it will be necessary to remove the end cap and
tap the spool out.

30
Usually, no further disassembly is necessary. The cylinder heads should be removed only if
they have been leaking. The valve housing should be removed only if the bore is scored or if
it has been leaking.
Items to Replace:
Crankshaft: If the splines are damaged or badly worn, the shaft must be replaced.
Grooves in the shaft under the seal lips can be salvaged with a speedi-sleeve. These may be
obtained from Double A or a bearing supply house. Cut off the speedi-sleeve with tin snips
so it will extend just past the seal when installed. Tap it onto the shaft until the lip is against
the bearing. Peen the edge down against the shaft so it can't cut the seal.
Polish off any roughness on the throw of the shaft. Use fine emery cloth because the surface
is hard. The surface must be smoother than a finish grind.
Motor Case: If the cylinder bores are deeply scored the motor case must be replaced.
Light scratches are normal and can be polished out by hand so they do not wear the piston
rings. Light honing is permissible if little metal is removed. The diametral piston to bore
clearance should be .0005" to .005". Remove any burrs or sharp edges from ends of the
cylinder bores.
Pistons: Vertical scratches are normal and can be polished to remove any raised material.
Scored pistons should be replaced. Piston sockets are rarely damaged because of their
hardness.
Connecting Rods: Normally, the connecting rod ball has a mirror finish on the top half.
If it is scuffed or scored the rod must be replaced. The connecting rod may be reused if the
window frame is not heavily worn, damaged or heavily scored. The window recess must be
.10" deep minimum.
Valve Housing: Scratches in the bore are not detrimental and may be polished out. Light
honing is permissible. Valve spool to bore diametral clearance must be .0005" to .005".
Valve Spool: Scored valves must be replaced. Light scratches are permissible.
Bearings: Discolored or pitted bearings must be replaced. One or two lines on the rollers
are not serious. The bearings are pressed on and cannot be removed without damaging the
cage. Highly polished rollers or cup indicate high loading and the bearing is about to fail.
Discoloration or polish on one end of the rollers indicate improper shimming.
Connecting Rod Retaining Rings: Broken or deformed rings must be replaced.
Shaft Seal: It is usually best to replace the seal when repairing a motor unless it has seen
little use.
Piston and Valve Rings: These need to be replaced only if there is visible wear. These
are normally shipped uncut. Where iron rings are used, the gap should be no more than
.031".
Restrictors and Filters: The restrictors are loctited in place and very difficult to remove.
A screwdriver exactly fitting the slot is necessary. Filters should be removed.
O-Rings: Only the front cover O-ring needs to be replaced unless others are leaking or
quite old.
Normally no other parts need be replaced.
REASSEMBLY: Some motors have iron valve rings. The gaps should not be together.
These rings break easily, so expand them only far enough to get them over the end of the
spool. A ring compressor is necessary to fit the spool into the bore. After inserting the spool
into the bore, replace the valve end cap and turn the motor shaft end up.
Valve spools having nylon valve rings can be inserted down through the valve housing
without a ring compressor. Both ends of the valve spool and the crankshaft are stamped with
the letters TDC and an arrow. Mark the motor case at the spot where the arrow on the valve
spool prints.

31
 Replace the cylinder heads if they have been removed. Attach the connecting rods to the
pistons and insert them into the cylinder bores. These should slip in easily without using
force. Drop in the bottom connecting rod retaining ring and lift the two connecting rods
nearest your mark on the crankcase over the rings and push the pistons into the bores.
Center the Oldham's coupling in the slot in the valve spool. Turn the shaft so its TDC and
arrow point toward the mark on the motor can and lower it into the motor. Rotate the shaft
slightly back and forth until it engages the coupling. Lift the other three connecting rods
over the botom retaining ring and drop on the top ring. Rotate shaft, it should turn easily.
Reshimming will be necessary if the shaft, motor case or bearings have been replaced. Some
motors have a .031" thick steel shim. Plastic shims are .002", .005", and .010" thick. Motors
are shimmed so that there will be .002" to .004" shaft preload. Shims are removed to reduce
end play.
One way to determine the shimming needed is to remove all shims, bolt down the front
cover and measure the gap between the plate and motor case with a feeler gage. Another is
to use a height gage. Install all shims, then rap the shaft sharply to seat it in the lower
bearing. Set the magnetic base of the height gage on the machined surface of the motor case
and zero the dial indicator on the end of the shaft. Lift the motor by using the eye bolt in the
end of the shaft and a hoist. The dial indicator will read the end play.
Install the new shaft seal in the cover plate. It should be pressed in, using a ring slightly
smaller than the seal. The open end of the seal faces in. High pressure seals have two lips
pointed in.
Before installing the front cover make certain the surfaces of the motor case and front cover
are smooth. Put the shims on the front cover and check that they are smooth and undam-
aged. Push the front cover O-ring down firmly against the shims. Screw the socket set
screws into two of the tapped holes in the motor case to guide the cover plate. Lift the cover
plate onto the motor taking care not damage the shaft seal. A thin sleeve covering the splines
is necessary to protect the high pressure shaft seal. Tap the cover plate with a plastic or
rawhide hammer to start it into the motor case.
Remove the socket set screws and start all the cap screws by hand. Tighten them alternately
a little at a time to pull the cover plate down evenly. Turn the shaft by hand. If it won't turn
add shims. Tighten all the bolts in the motor. See motor service literature fro proper torque
values.

A35 VALVE OVERHAUL

Remove the valve bank from the equipment and thoroughly clean its exterior surface
before beginning disassembly. Mark each section in sequential order from inlet to outlet
to ensure that it will be properly reassembled. If individual sections are to be disas-
sembled, tag each spool with the number of the section from which it was taken. Spools
are hone-fitted to their housings and are not interchangeable. All work should be
performed in a clean area.
Figure 6-7, illustrates the proper relationship of parts in a typical valve bank, and should
be used as a guide for reassemble.
Disassembly:
1. Remove all control handles and linkage connectors attached to the spool clevis.
2. Remove the four tie bolts which hold the bank together, and separate the
sections.
3. Remove the two screws (11) which fasten the backcap to the housing and
remove the backcap.

32
 4. Grasp the spring end of the spool with a clean rag and pull the spool from the
housing with a steady, twisting motion. The retaining plate, back-up ring and
spool seal (3,4,5) will generally come out with the spool.
CAUTION: For detented spool models, be careful not to remove the detent poppet
sleeve (9) unless it is to be serviced. Without the sleeve, the spring-loaded steel balls
Caution (8) can pop free and be lost.
5. Remove and discard rubber spool seals.
6. These parts should not be removed from the spool unless they are to be replaced.
Once the spool is free of the housing, it must be carefully handled to avoid
damage. If it is necessary to remove the spring, place the spool in a soft-jawed
vise and remove the stripper bolt with a wrench.
NOTE: Cautious applications of heat may be required to free the stripper bolt or
Important detent retainer as an anaerobic thread adhesive is used in their assembly.
7. Remove items (8,9,15) by placing a rag around the sleeve to keep the parts from
springing loose, and pulling firmly to free them from the poppet retainer.
Cleaning, Inspection Repair:
1. Inspect the spool bores and spools for deep scratches, gouges or excessive wear.
If any of these conditions exist, replace the section. Minor surface damage on
the spool may be polished away with very fine crocus cloth.
2. Examine the machined surfaces of the valve housings for nicks or burrs that
could cause leakage between sections. Lightly stone these surfaces to remove
any rough spots.

Caution CAUTION: A shallow, machined relief band extends across the "O" ring face of the
valve housing and should not be stoned or ground off.
3. Wash all parts thoroughly in clean solvent and blow dry before beginning
reassemble.
Assembly:
1. Clamp the spool in a soft-jawed vise. Apply a small amount of Loctite™ 262 or
equivalent anaerobic adhesive to the stripper bolt (16) before assembly.
NOTE: Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for proper curing. Assemble
Important the spring (15), spring guide (14) and stripper bolt (16) on the spool. The detent
poppet retainer (6) is assembled in similar fashion.
2. Apply a light coating of clean hydraulic oil to the valve spool. Place the
retaining plate (5), back up ring (4) and spool seal (3) over the spool. These
items rest against the spring guide or poppet retainer in the order illustrated in
Figure 6-7. Install the spool seal (3) into the groove at the clevis end of the
