Setup & Operation HD22000 22” Tong
Adequate setup and proper hydraulic connections are essential in ensuring reliable operation of your tong. For best results and long term
reliability, read and obey the start-up instructions in this section.
DO NOT ACCESS ROTATING COMPONENTS UNLESS HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN
DEACTIVATED OR ISOLATED.
A CLEARLY IDENTIFIED REMOTE POWER PACK EMERGENCY STOP MUST BE INSTALLED IN

THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE TONG OPERATOR.
A. SLING / LOAD BEARING DEVICE SAFETY
The supplied Load-Bearing device (chain sling, rigid sling, spreader bar assem-
bly, frame, or any other device that bears the partial or total weight of the
equipment described in this manual) has been specified or designed to support
the equipment described in this DOCUMENT. Farr will not guarantee the ability
of the load-bearing device to support any other part, assembly or combina-
tion of parts and assemblies, or any additions to the equipment described
in this manual that add weight to the equipment, unless supplied by McCoy
Drilling & Completions.
McCoy Drilling & Completions DOES not guarantee the INTEGRITY of MODIFIED OR
DAMAGED load-bearing deviceS, UNLESS THOSE MODIFICATIONS ARE PERFORMED BY
McCoy Drilling & Completions.
McCoy Drilling & Completions recommends following an industry-accepted standard such as OSHA, ASME B30.9-2006, or manu-
facturer’s guidelines when performing any rigging and overhead lifting. Use by untrained persons is hazardous. Improper use will
result in serious injury or death. Do not exceed rated capacity. Slings will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused, or improperly
maintained.
• Only grade 80 or grade 100 alloy chain should be used for overhead lifting applications.
• Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum allowable load in pounds which may be applied to the load-bearing device, when the
device is new or in “as new” condition, and when the load is uniformly and directly applied. The WLL must never be exceeded.
• Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum working load for a specific minimum sling angle, measured from the horizontal plane.
The Working Load Limit is identified on the sling.
• The Working Load Limit or Design factor may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional al-
terations, sharp corner cutting action and other use conditions.
• Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into account when selecting alloy chain slings.
• See OSHA Regulation for Slings 1910.184, ANSI/ASME B30.9-”SLINGS”, ANSI/ASME B30.10-”HOOKS” and ANSI/AMSE
B30.26 “RIGGING HARDWARE” for additional information.
THE MINIMUM SLING ANGLE (THE ANGLE OF THE LEG OF THE SLING MEASURED FROM THE
HORIZONTAL) MUST NEVER FALL LOWER THAN THE ANGLE SPECIFIED FOR THE SLING IN USE
Sling Angle
Illustration 2.A.1: Sling Angle

HD22000 22” Tong Setup & Operation
1. Inspection Of Slings
McCoy Drilling & Completions strongly recommends the following practices:
A complete inspection of new load-bearing devices and attachments shall be performed by a qualified, designated person prior
to initial use. Each link and component shall be examined individually, taking care to expose and examine all surfaces including
the inner link surface. The sling shall be examined for conditions such as those listed in the removal criteria below. In addition,
daily inspection of slings, fastenings and attachments shall be performed by a designated person. If damage or defects are found
at either inspection, the damaged or defective component shall be quarantined from service until it can be properly repaired or
replaced.
Removal Criteria:
A load-bearing device shall be removed from service if conditions such as the following are present:
• Missing or illegible sling identification.
• Cracks or breaks
• Evidence of tampering is seen - sling tag has been modified or obscured, or tamper-proof nuts are missing.
• Signs of impact on load-bearing components, including spreader bars, lifting lugs, rigid slings & rigid sling weldments, and
legs & leg mounts.
• Broken or damaged welds.
• Excessive wear, nicks, or gouges. Refer to the chart below to ensure minimum thickness on chain links supplied is not be
below the values listed:
Minimum Allowable Chain Link Thickness at Any Point

Nominal Chain Size Minimum Thickness
Inches MM Inches MM
7/32 5.5 0.189 4.80
9/32 7 0.239 6.07
5/16 8 0.273 6.93

7/8 22 0.750 19.05
1 26 0.887 22.53
1-1/4 32 1.091 27.71
Refer To ASME B30.9
• Stretched, bent, twisted, or deformed chain links or components.

• Evidence of heat damage.
• Excessive pitting or corrosion.
• Lack of ability of chain or components to hinge (articulate) freely.
• Weld splatter.
• For hooks, removal criteria as stated in ASME B30.10
• Other conditions, including visible damage, that cause doubt as to the continued use of the sling.
Inspect all lugs and fixing points for signs of elongation and/or bending, or for material build-up around the hole. Repair or
replace components that appear distorted. Ensure all hardware is tight and in good condition. Replace missing hardware if
necessary. All hardware must be free of rust and corrosion.
Additional inspections shall be performed during sling use where service conditions warrant. Periodic inspection intervals shall
not exceed one year. The frequency of periodic inspections should be based on:
• Frequency of use of the load-bearing device.
• Severity of service conditions
• Nature of lifts being made
• Experience gained on the service life of load-bearing devices used in similar circumstances.
Guidelines for the interval are:
• Normal Service - yearly
• Severe Service - monthly to quarterly
• Special Service - as recommended by a qualified person
Units designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 12079 and DNV 2.7-1 should be tested and examined in accordance
with the following schedule of examination and test. The user of the load-bearing device shall place a permanent placard or plate
upon which the type and date of the last test shall be recorded. To avoid confusion, the plate shall not carry the date of the next
test or examination, only the most recent.

or elements that contribute directly to its structural integrity.
IF MECHANICAL DAMAGE IS SEEN OR SUSPECTED ON A LOAD-BEARING DEVICE, OR IF THE

LOAD-BEARING DEVICE HAS BEEN OVERLOADED, IT MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND
QUARANTINED UNTIL RECERTIFIED
Written records of the most recent periodic inspection shall be maintained, and shall include the condition of the sling.
2. Proper Use Of Load-Bearing Devices
Whenever any load-bearing device is used, the following practices shall be observed.
• Load-bearing devices that are damaged or defective shall not be used.
• Slings shall not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices.
• Sling legs shall not be kinked.
• Load-bearing devices shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities.
• Slings shall be securely attached to their load.
• Load-bearing devices shall be protected from snagging, and shall not be further obstructed by any object.
• Suspended loads shall be kept clear of all obstruction.
• All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads.
• Hands or fingers shall not be placed between the sling and its load while the sling is being tightened around the load.
• Shock loading is prohibited.
• Do not stand directly under a load during lifting.
3. Storage Of Load-Bearing Devices
Proper storage of out-of-service load bearing devices is important to ensure full integrity of the device once it is returned to
service. Farr recommends observing the following practices.
• Wipe off all excess grease. Use a solvent-based cleaner on rags to wipe all external surfaces to remove residual grease
or hydraulic fluid. Once the outside surfaces have been de-greased, wipe all external surfaces with clean water to remove
residual solvent.
• Farr recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied to all external surfaces. Refer to manufacturer
data sheets for proper application and safety information. Allow the anti-corrosive coating ample time to dry - refer to manu-
facturer data sheets for drying times at room temperature.
• Store in a clean, dry location. When returning to service, note that a full inspection of the device must be performed.
ensure chains do not become entangled in any equipment superstructure when

using chain slings to hoist equipment.

D. HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
A pair of hydraulic lines - a 1” supply line and a 1-1/4” return line - connect the tong to the power unit (see illustration below). Ancillary
devices (hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, etc.) are connected through the valve block.
Perform any hydraulic connection when the power unit is not running, or when the hydraulic pump is disengaged. The possibility of
error in inter-changing the high pressure supply hose and the low pressure return hose has been eliminated, because the supply
side coupling is smaller than the return side.

Jaw / Jaw Die Replacement
When using the 22” jaw die kit, the top and bottom jaw alignment blocks need to be removed and rotated 180 degrees in order to
provide adequate clearance between the jaws and the rotary gear. Simply remove the socket head cap screws, rotate the alignment
blocks 180 degrees, and re-secure with the socket head cap screws before installing the jaw die kit.

F. TONG RIG-UP & LEVELING
1. Suspension & Restraint
Suspend the tong and backup from a location as near to the centre of the drill rotary as possible, and from a location high enough
on the mast to ensure easy handling. The lower the point from which the tong is suspended, the more effort will be required to
move the tong to and from the connection point.
The suspension line may be extended over a pulley and balanced by a counterweight equal to the weight of the tong and backup,
or simply tied off in the derrick to form a dead line. When using a dead line arrangement it is necessary to use a FARR spring
hanger assembly (see specification page for recommended spring hanger). This spring hanger compensates for the downward
movement of the casing as the thread is made-up, and imparts additional force to the suspension cable:
• a “single spring” hanger typically applies 420 lbs. (191 kg.) to the suspension line for every inch of thread made up
• a “double spring” hanger typically applies 840 lbs. (382 kg.) to the suspension line for every inch of thread made up
If you do not know which specific spring hanger is in use, check the specification page in this manual for information on the
recommended spring hanger for this application. McCoy Drilling & Completions will not guarantee or specify spring hangers
other than what has been supplied by McCoy.
Many applications use a lift cylinder for adjusting the height of the tong. Ensure the weight of the lift cylinder is known if it has
not been included in the total weight of the tong.
All forces upon the suspension line must be considered when calculating necessary strength of the suspension line. The weight
of the tong, the weight of the lift cylinder, the weight of the spring hanger, and the force imparted on the suspension line by
the spring hanger must all be added together in order to arrive at the total force supported by the suspension line. Select your
suspension line based upon the total force and the margins of safety dictated by the policies of your company and by estab-
lished engineering practices. Ultimately, calculating the force on the suspension line and selection of the suspension line is the
complete responsibility of the customer.
McCoy Drilling & Completions recommends using dual backup (snub) lines of sufficient strength to withstand the force imparted
by the maximum rated torque of the tong and backup assembly in use. The snub lines will arrest uncontrolled movement of the
tong and backup in the event slipping of the backup jaws. Calculate the force on the snub lines by dividing the maximum torque
of the tong by the tong’s torque arm (expressed in feet). For example, an 80,000 lbs.-ft. tong with a 55 inch (4.58 ft.) torque
arm will generate 17467 lbs. of force against the snub line. Select your snub lines based upon the total force and the margins
of safety dictated by the policies of your company and by established engineering practices. Ultimately, calculating the force on
the snub line and selection of the snub line is the complete responsibility of the customer.
To ensure accurate torque measurement, the backup line must be connected perpendicular to the lengthwise axis of the tong,
and perpendicular to the hang line (see illustrations 2.F.1 & 2.F.2 on next page).

2. Tong Leveling
The tong must be leveled side-to-side and front-to-rear before placing into service. The following guidelines will assist you when
leveling your tong.
Support the tong by the chain sling. Preset the positions of all four chains by rotating the turnbuckles on each chain hanger until
the eye bolts are about half-way engaged in the turnbuckle. The turnbuckles can often be turned by hand; if this is not the case,
use an adjustable wrench across the flats on the turnbuckle to turn it. Rotating the turnbuckles in one direction will cause the
two eye bolts to extend away from the centre of the turnbuckle, while rotating them in the other direction will cause the eye bolts
to retract toward the centre of the turnbuckle. Place a level axially (side to side) across the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with
the surface of the tong. Equally rotate the two turnbuckles on one or the other side of the tong until the level indicates the tong
is parallel - for instance, if you decide to adjust the left side hangers to adjust the axial leveling, adjust the left side front and rear
chains the same amount. If there seems to be a large adjustment to make, split the adjustment between the two sides - make
half the adjustment using the two chains on one side, and the remaining adjustment using the two chains on the other side.
If all four chains were pre-set, there should not be a large adjustment to make. Place a level lengthwise (front to back) along
the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong. If the tong needs to be leveled front to rear, adjust both chains
equally - either both rear chains or both front chains.
The leveling process may have to be repeated in order to optimize the adjustment of the hanger chains and ensure the tong is
level.

G. TONG OPERATION
1. Operator Training
Many companies set qualification standards that must be met before equipment is may be operated without supervision. McCoy
Drilling & Completions recommends operator training, which typically consists of operation of the equipment under the supervi-
sion of a trained equipment operator until a satisfactory level of competence is achieved. Typical operator training should include:
• Introduction to and general description of equipment
• Technical specifications and performance data
• Operating instructions
• Control systems and interlocks
• Operating hazards
• Checks and inspections

2. Initial Start-up and Break-in Procedure
YOUR EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED AND INSPECTED AT THE FACTORY.
HOWEVER, WE ADVISE INSPECTION AND TESTING OF YOUR NEW TONG AFTER TAKING
POSSESSION IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SHIPPING DAMAGE.
McCoy Completions & Drilling recommends that the following pre-operating tests be performed after receipt from the factory or
after extended storage, prior to releasing the tong to operations:
• Perform a complete inspection of all fasteners to ensure none have loosened during transport.
• Connect the tong to the power unit, and apply full hydraulic pressure. Inspect and correct any leaks.
• Operate the tong at full speed and in high gear for a duration of one-half hour. Hot bearing caps may indicate impending
bearing failure.
• Switch to low gear and operate for an additional one-half hour at full speed.
• Run the backup (if equipped) through several clamp/un-clamp sequences to ensure functionality.
• Inspect all components and hydraulic fittings for possible defects following completion of the tests. All FARR Tongs have
been thoroughly tested at the factory prior to shipping, but shipping damage must be identified before running the tong in
an operational environment.
• Carefully inspect the safety door components, and test to ensure that the safety device on each door is operating correctly
before releasing the tong to the operating environment.
TONG DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SECURELY LATCHED BEFORE THE POWER UNIT IS
STARTED IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATING PERSONNEL
Ensure adequate lube oil and hydraulic oil levels before starting engine. Use start up procedures as recommended by the power
unit engine operator’s manual. Open the Bypass Valve on the hydraulic system, and inspect all pressure and return line hose
connections to ensure correct and secure installation.
IMPROPERLY SECURED HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS WILL INTERRUPT HYDRAULIC FLUID FLOW, AND COULD
RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING FAILURES:
• A restriction in the pressure supply hose will result in high pressure within the power unit hydraulic system, which will
activate the hydraulic governor and increase the engine speed to as high as maximum RPM.
• A restriction in the return line will result in high pressure within the power unit and the tong hydraulic system, causing
engine speeds as high as maximum RPM, and possible failure of the motor seal.
Following inspection of the hoses, start the engine and allow it to idle until warm. Allow hydraulic fluid to circulate for approxi-
mately 10 minutes, then slowly close the bypass valve to allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through the hoses and to the tong
(circulating pressure should not exceed 200 psi). Place the tong gear shifter in low gear and rotate the tong slowly forward and
then reverse with the throttle valve control lever. Once this has been done and the proper size jaws have been installed, the
tong is then ready to run pipe.
3. Valve Operation
4-way proportional valves control operation of hydraulic devices on the tong assembly such as hydraulic motors and cylinders.
When any one valve is “centered” or in the detent position, there is no hydraulic output from the valve. When the valve is pushed
forward there is an effect, and when the valve is pulled back, there is an opposite effect. These valves feature proportional con-
trol, which means that further extension of the valve handle (thereby further opening the valve orifice) results in proportionally
higher hydraulic output to the controlled device.
The following illustrations demonstrate the type and effect of the hydraulic valves with which this tong is may be equipped.

The following illustration demonstrates the type and effect of the hydraulic valves with which this tong is may be equipped.
TONG MOTOR
This is a proportional valve. Pushing the valve handle forward will cause the tong motor to rotate in a clockwise direction
(as seen from the top of the tong). This is the desired direction of rotation for making up a joint. Pulling the valve handle in
the opposite direction results in counter-clockwise rotation, which is the desired direction of rotation for breaking out a joint.
Illustration 2.G.1: Tong Rotation Control Valve
LIFT CYLINDER
This is a direct-acting valve. Pushing the valve handle forward will cause the lift cylinder to lift the tong vertically. Pulling the
valve handle in the opposite direction will cause the lift cylinder to lower the tong.
Illustration 2.G.2: Tong Lift Cylinder Control Valve

4. Shifting Gears
The shifting shaft has three “detent” positions identifying the low speed/high torque position, the “neutral” or free-spinning posi-
tion, and the high speed/low torque position. The detent strength may be adjusted by releasing the locknut on the detent tube
and increasing or relaxing pressure on the detent spring. Ensure the locknut is tightened once the desired detent pressure has
been set.
To shift to the high-speed gear, move the shifting handle toward tong centre from neutral position. To shift to the low-speed gear,
move the shifting handle away from tong centre through the neutral detent to its lowest position. Note that the high clutch gear
or the low clutch gear may not be exactly aligned when shifting, so the operator may need to “bump” the motor control handle
slightly to turn the main clutch gear shaft and shifting collar into alignment. This is most effective when applying a small amount
of pressure on the gear shift lever in the direction you want to shift the tong, ensuring the shifting collar will “catch” when the
main clutch gear aligns with either the high or low clutch gear (see Illustration 2.G.3).

5. General Comments
a) Position rotary gear in contact with both idler gears when breaking out joints or collars where high torques are required.
b) When making-up integral (shouldered) joints, it is essential to make up the last turn of the threads in low gear. This reduces
the tendency of an instant stop or a sudden increase in torque, which induces extremely high stresses on the gear train.
c) DO NOT employ the “snap break” method of breaking-out joints when pulling a string. By definition, the “snap break”
method is a procedure used by some operators to break out connections, accomplished by leaving slack in the “jaw-pipe”
engagement, and then quickly pulling the throttle valve control lever allowing the tong to snap into its loaded or high torque
condition. Although this method is very effective in breaking out joints, the extremely high stress placed on the gear train
frequently causes gear breakage.
using the snap-break method to break out a joint endangers rig personnel and
may cause irreparable damage to equipment

H. MAKING AND BREAKING CONNECTIONS
ThESE OPERATING procedureS assume the user has properly set up and prepared
the equipment for operation as per Sections 2D, 2E, and 2F of this manual.
Set up and prepare your equipment for operation as per Section 2 of this manual Refer to the following sections:
• 2.D - Hydraulic Connections
• 2.E - Tong Jaw Installation
• 2.F.1 - Tong Rig-up and Leveling (Suspension)
• 2.F.2 - Tong Rig-up and Leveling (Leveling)
Your tong and backup assembly should be properly suspended, connected to a hydraulic power source, and ready to make or break
connections at this point.
1. Making A Connection
a) Ensure hydraulic power supply to the tong is energized. The master link on the chain sling must be used to suspend the
tong. Do not suspend the tong from any other point.
Illustration 2.H.1: Master Lifting Link
The master link must be used to suspend the tong assembly
b) Ensure the backing pin is in the “makeup” position. From the front of the tong, the backing pin correctly configured for
makeup will be in the 10 o’clock position (see Illustration 2.H.2 next page). If it is not, simply lift up and place in the correct
position (see Illustration 2 next page). The cage plate opening must be aligned with the door opening when setting the
backing pin position.

Making A Connection (Continued)
Illustration 2.H.2: Setting Backing Pin To “Make-up” Position

c) Ensure the load cell and snub line(s) are properly configured for making up connections. The “snub line” is a length of wire
rope that connects the rear of the tong body to a sturdy anchor on the drill floor (see Section 2.F.1). The snub line prevents
the tong body from spinning in the opposite direction of the cage plate when torque begins to build in the joint. The snub
line must be rated for the applied torque plus whatever safety margins stated by your own operating policies. The snub
line connection point on the drill floor must be sturdy enough to absorb all applied forces when making up the joints. When
making up joints the snub line is attached to the driller’s side of the tong, which is the left side of the tong as seen from
the rear. For accurate torque measurement the snub line must be perpendicular to the vertical, and perpendicular to the
centre-line of the tong.
d) Actuate the lift cylinder control valve to lift the assembly from the drill floor. Pushing the valve toward the center of the tong
will retract the lift cylinder to lift the assembly (see Illustration 2.H.3 below). Note that rig personnel are required to stabilize
the tong and backup as it is being lifted so it does not swing and collide with other rig equipment.
Rig personnel must stabilize the tong as it is lifted from the drill floor
Illustration 2.H.3: Lift Cylinder Control - Raise

e) Grasp the handle on the RH door weldment and pull to open the door. After the RH door is open grasp the handle on the
LH door weldment and swing open. Since your equipment is equipped with safety doors, opening the door will inhibit rota-
tion of the cage plate.

f) Manually engage the threads of the tubing connection being made up. Ensure threads are not cross-threaded.
g) Move the tong on to the tubing joint. Use the lift cylinder to ensure the tong jaws are at the correct location above the con-
nection joint.
h) Firmly close the LH tong door, followed by the RH tong door.
i) Ensure tubing is roughly centered within the tong jaws - rig personnel are required to stabilize the tong above the connec-
tion until the jaws have been cammed on to the pipe or casing.
j) Begin rotation with the tong in high gear (high speed/low torque). See Section G.3 to properly set the tong to high gear. Do
not shift gears while the tong is rotating.
SHIFTING TONG WHILE ROTATING THE MOTOR AND Cage plate MAY RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC
GEAR TRAIN FAILURE

k) Push the motor control valve toward the tong to rotate the cage plate in the make-up direction.
Illustration 2.H.5: Motor Control - Make-up
l) When the tong jaws cam on to the tubing push the rotation control handle all the way in to thread the connection together
at high speed. As the joint becomes fully made up the increasing torque demand will stall the motor, and displayed torque
will increase.
m) Stop rotation, and set motor to low speed and shift to low gear (low speed/high torque). See Section 2.G.3 for instructions
for shifting to low gear. This will enable the tong to produce adequate torque for making up the joint to specification.
n) Push the rotation control handle all the way in to complete the connection at low speed/high torque. Observe the torque
gauge - when the specified make-up torque is reached stop rotation. Reverse the rotation control valve to release the tong
jaws from the tubing (see Illustration 2.H.6).
Illustration 2.H.6: Motor Control - Releasing Jaws

o) When tong jaws are free, align the opening in the rotary gear with the mouth of the tong, and open the tong doors to
free the tong from the drill string. Note that rig personnel may be required to stabilize the tong as it completely releases
from the drill string. Guide the tong away from the string and use the lift cylinder control to lower it to the drill floor if
desired.
Illustration 2.H.7: Lift Cylinder Control - Lower
p) Repeat steps “f” through “o” until the desired number of connections are made up.

2. Breaking A Connection
YOUR TONG SHOULD BE PROPERLY SUSPENDED, CONNECTED TO A HYDRAULIC POWER

SOURCE, AND READY TO BREAK CONNECTIONS.
a) Ensure hydraulic power supply to the tong and backup is energized. The master link on the rigid sling must be used to
suspend the tong. Do not suspend the tong from any other point. See Illustration 2.H.1.
b) Set the backing pin for “breakout” operation. Lift up on the backing pin and rotate it to the “breakout” position, which is 2
o’clock as seen from the front of the tong. The opening in the rotary gear must be aligned with the tong door opening in
order to properly set the backing pin (see Illustration 2.H.8).
Illustration 2.H.8: Setting Backing Pin To “Break-Out” Position

c) Ensure the load cell and snub line are configured for break-out operation. The load cell must be transferred to the off-
driller’s side (the right hand side as seen from the rear of the tong), and the snub line must be transferred to the driller’s
side to perform break-out operations.
d) Open the tong doors (see Illustration 2.H.4).
e) Actuate the lift cylinder control valve to lift the assembly from the drill floor if necessary. Pushing the valve toward the center
of the tong will retract the lift cylinder to lift the assembly (see illustration 2.H.3). Note that rig personnel are required to
stabilize the tong and backup as it is being lifted so it does not swing and collide with other rig equipment.
Rig personnel must stabilize the tong as it is lifted from the drill floor
f) Move the tong on to the tubing joint. Use the lift cylinder to ensure the tong jaws are at the correct location above the con-
nection joint.
g) Firmly close the tong door against the latch post.
h) Ensure tubing is roughly centered within the tong jaws - rig personnel are required to stabilize the tong above the connec-
tion until the jaws have been cammed on to the pipe or casing.
i) Breakout torque is only available when tong is in low gear. See Section 2.G.3 for instructions on shifting your tong to low
gear. Do not shift gears while the tong is rotating.

j) Pull the motor control valve toward the operator to rotate the cage plate in the break-out direction.
Illustration 2.H.9: Rotation Control - Break-Out

l) When the tong jaws cam on to the tubing pull the rotation control handle all the way out to break the connection.
m) When the connection breaks stop rotation and shift to high gear (see Section 2.G.3 to shift to high gear). This will enable
the tong to completely un-thread the connection at high speed.
n) Pull the rotation control handle all the way out to completely un-thread the connection. Reverse the rotation control handle
(push toward tong) to release the tong jaws from the tubing (see Illustration 2.H.10).
Illustration 2.H.10: Releasing Tong Jaws Following Break-out & Un-threading

Breaking A Connection (Continued)
o) When the tong jaws disengage align the opening in the rotary gear with the mouth of the tong, and open the tong door
to free the tong from the drill string. Unlatch and open the tong door to free the assembly from the tubing. Note that rig
personnel may be required to stabilize the equipment as it completely releases from the tubing. Guide the assembly away
from the string and use the lift cylinder control to lower it to the drill floor if desired.
Illustration 2.H.11: Lowering Tong Using Lift Cylinder Control
p) Use your rig’s standard pipe handling procedures to remove and rack the freed tubing stand.
q) Repeat steps “e” through “p” as many times as necessary to break out and un-thread the desired number of connections.
H. EXTREME COLD WEATHER OPERATION PROCEDURES
1) Consult the power unit engine operator’s manual for all cold weather operating procedures and precautions.
2) Select gear and bearing lubricants that are compatible with expected climatic conditions.
3) Select hydraulic fluid that is compatible with expected climatic conditions.
4) Allow hydraulic fluid to circulate for approximately 20 minutes after starting the power unit, prior to activating the bypass
valve to allow fluid to circulate to tong. If the power unit is equipped with an oil temperature gauge, ensure that the fluid has
reached operating temperature as specified by hydraulic fluid data sheet.
5) Allow for adequate drying of moisture (prior to lubricating) when cleaning tong parts in cold weather.

Maintenance HD22000 22” Tong
McCoy Completions & Drilling recognizes that minor on-site repairs and modifications are required to maintain peak operating condition of
your equipment, or to match your equipment with the operating environment. Examples of minor repairs are
• replacement of damaged hydraulic hoses and fittings.
• replacement of malfunctioning pressure gauges and valves.
• replacement of door cylinders
• replacement of fasteners
Any replaced component must be an identical component supplied by McCoy Completions & Drilling. Replaced fasteners must be Grade

A. GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRACTICES
The practices identified here are intended as a guideline. All personnel are responsible for performing their tasks in a manner that
ensures worker, equipment, and environmental safety, and may require taking additional steps that are not identified in this section.
Equipment maintenance shall be performed only by designated qualified maintenance personnel. Wear approved eye wear and
footwear, and follow all of your company’s safety guidelines Do not begin a maintenance task without the proper tools or materials
on hand, or the proper drawings and documentation necessary.
Schedule planned maintenance with operators to avoid conflicts, unnecessary downtime, and the danger of accidental equipment
activation. Notify operations when maintenance procedures are complete and equipment functionality is restored.
Isolate the location of the maintenance under way to prevent unaware personnel from inadvertently exposing themselves to a hazard.
Use tape, rope, or signage to clearly indicate “off-limits” area.
Replacement of large, heavy individual parts and/or heavy structural components must be performed using an approved lifting
device of sufficient lifting capacity. Use care when attaching the lifting device, and safeguard area to avoid endangering personnel
or equipment.
All spare parts must meet or exceed OEM specifications in order to maintain equipment integrity, especially protective equipment
McCoy recommends that disconnection of hydraulic connectors be performed with the power unit off and the hydraulic circuit depres-
surized.
Your equipment uses materials that may be harmful to the environment if improperly disposed of (hydraulic fluid, grease, etc.).
Dispose of all materials according to your company’s proscribed environmental protection regulations.
B. CLEANING
Clean tong thoroughly cleaned with a good petroleum-based cleaning agent after each job, prior to storage. Farr recommends that
the motor and valve assembly be periodically removed, along with the top tong plate, so that guides, rollers and gears can be prop-
erly cleaned. Ensure that cleaning solvents and chemicals are captured to prevent environmental contamination, and dispose of all
materials according to your company’s proscribed environmental protection regulations.
C. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance programs are necessary, and must be established to assure safe, dependable operation of your Hydraulic
Tubular Connection System and to avoid costly breakdown maintenance. The following maintenance procedures provide information
required to properly maintain your equipment. Your equipment may require more, or less maintenance depending upon the frequency
of use and the field conditions under which your equipment operates. McCoy has also provided recommended maintenance check-
lists. The intervals in the maintenance checklists are designed for equipment operating at 10°C to 35°C ambient temperature for 10
hours per day. McCoy recommends that the inspection and maintenance procedures in this section be performed as recommended
in the maintenance checklists, or in conjunction with your maintenance foreman’s experience and best estimate of when your equip-
ment is due for this maintenance.
Purchased components included with your hydraulic tubular connection equipment (for example: motors, valves, etc.) may specify
maintenance tasks and intervals over and above what McCoy recommends as part of their recommended procedures. Users of this
equipment may choose to perform or ignore these additional tasks at their discretion.
Premature fouling of particulate filters within your prime mover or ancillary hydraulic power unit requires immediate hydraulic fluid
laboratory analysis to prevent premature wear of hydraulic system due to high levels of wear metals in the fluid.
McCoy Completions & Drilling recommends tracking all maintenance activity including the lubrication schedule. This may be a simple
as keeping a paper log, or using a software-based maintenance tracking utility. A maintenance log is a valuable tool that can be used
for easily retrieving maintenance history or identifying trends that require correction.

D. LUBRICATION
Use a quality multipurpose bearing lubricant that will remain within its viscosity range at expected operating temperatures. In addition,
Farr recommends the following lubrication procedure at the completion of each job prior to storage.
1. Cage Plate Guide / Support Rings
Lubricate the guide / support rings through the grease fittings in the top and bottom cage plates (16 locations total).
Illustration 3.D.1: Guide / Support Ring Lubrication
2. Support Roller Bearings

top and bottoms of the door weldments (four locations total).
Illustration 3.D.10: Door Adjustment Cam Lubrication

10. Door Stop Spring Cylinder
Periodically disassemble the door stop cylinders and coat the spring and cylinder with a general purpose lubricating oil.
Illustration 3.D.11: Door Spring Cylinder

E. ADJUSTMENTS
1. Brake Band Adjustment
The brake bands must be periodically adjusted to continue to provide smooth and efficient jaw cam action. If the cage plate
turns with the rotary gear, the jaws will not cam properly and, therefore, will not bite on the tubing or casing. Tightening the
brake band against the cage plates will increase frictional resistance, allowing jaws to cam properly and grip the casing. Adjust
the brake band using the adjustment nut and bolt set as shown in the illustration below. Do not over-tighten, as this causes
excessive wear to the brake bands. Note that the top and bottom brake bands must be adjusted simultaneously and equally.
BRAKE BAND
BRAKE BAND ADJUSTMENT

BOLT AND NYLOCK NUT
Illustration 3.E.1: Brake band Adjustment
top and bottom brake bands must be adjusted equally and simultaneously

2. Lateral Door Adjustment:
THE DOOR IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE TONG. IT IS

IMPERATIVE TO KEEP A SECURE FIT AT THE DOOR IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN PROPER GEAR
ALIGNMENT, AND TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE GEAR TRAIN WHEN
OPERATING THE TONG AT SPECIFIED TORQUE. A CLOSED DOOR ALSO ENSURES SAFETY OF
OPERATING PERSONNEL.
If the double doors develop a space where they meet when the doors are closed, the doors may be adjusted laterally by turning
one, or both, of the cam bushings. Remove the 3/8” bolts securing the cam bushings, and loosen the 1” nylock support roller
nuts just enough to allow the bushing to turn. Adjust doors so that they open and close smoothly, and the RH door and LH door
come into slight and even when closed. ADJUST UPPER AND LOWER BUSHINGS ON THE SAME DOOR SIMULTANEOUSLY
AND EQUALLY. Note that once the adjustment is finished the 3/8” bolt needs to be replaced, securing the door cam bushing.
Do not neglect to re-tighten the nylock nut on the support roller, but do not overtighten as this may cause the door to bind (see
illustration 3.E.2).
adjust upper and lower door latch cams simultaneously - rotate both latch
cams the same amount in the same direction.

Adjustment Cam
Illustration 3.E.2: Lateral Door Adjustment

3. Door Alignment
Each door weldment is equipped with two set screws, along with jam nuts to lock position, to align the door when it is in the
closed position.
Initial Alignment
Ensure tong doors are closed, and inspect how one door aligns with the other at the point at which they meet. If misalignment is
seen, choose one or the other door to adjust. Use a box-end wrench to loosen the lock nuts on the insides of the door weldment
- the nuts may be accessed from the side of the door weldment. Use a hex key to turn the hex head set screws either clockwise
or counter-clockwise to adjust the door. Note that the top and bottom of the door weldment may not need to be adjusted equally
- each set screw should be adjusted independently until the doors are aligned.
Final Alignment
Rotate the cage plate, and stop it when the inside circumference of the door is completely covered. Perform three measurements
(see illustration 3.E.3):
1) From the insides of the outer edge of each door weldment to the cage plate (2 measurements total).
2) From the exact centre point (where the two doors meet) to the cage plate.

Door Alignment (continued):
Measurement Measurement Measurement

1 2 1
Illustration 3.E.3: Door Alignment
The three measurements should be equal. If the centre measurement is less than the two outside measurements, loosen all
locking nuts on the set screws, and turn all four set screws EQUALLY clockwise, until the centre measurement is equal to the
two outer measurements. If the centre measurement is more than the two outside measurements, loosen all locking nuts on
the set screws, and turn all four set screws EQUALLY counter-clockwise, until the centre measurement is equal to the two outer
measurements. Ensure that the locking nuts are tightened when this procedure is complete.
4. Shifter Detent Force Adjustment:
Over time wear to the shifting shaft, wear to the detent ball, and loss of spring tension in the detent spring may result in a loose
or “sloppy” fit within the top shifter bushing. The detent pressure may be increased or otherwise adjusted by loosening the 7/16”
UNF locking jam nut, and turning the 7/16” UNF detent bolt. Should adequate detent action not be achieved, the shifting shaft,
detent ball, or detent spring (or possibly all three) may need to be replaced (see Pp. 5.16 - 5.17).
Illustration 3.E.4: Shifter Detent Force Adjustment

5. Safety Door Switch Adjustment
The safety door switch should interrupt hydraulic power to the motor when the tong door is opened, or even slightly ajar. This is
a critical safety system, and proper adjustment is necessary to maintain the intended function. If the rotary gear does not stop
immediately and completely stop rotating when the door is opened, remove the tong from service and perform the following
adjustments:
Perform lateral door adjustment and door alignment procedures before

attempting safety door switch alignment.
a. Close the doors. Ensure the two safety door “claws” are seated firmly together. Tap the bottom mounting plate one way or
the other until the shoulder bolts installed in Step 7 are in the centre of the traveling slots in the floating plate.
Loosen four 3/8” bolts on

the adjustment plate.
Correct position of
shoulder bolts within
the traveling slots.
Illustration 3.E.5: Safety Door Switch Adjustment 01
b. Mark the position of the mounting plate on the door weldment in the event it moves before it can be secured permanently.
c. Remove the four shoulder bolts to remove the safety door switch and the floating plate. Use caution to avoid moving the
mounting base during the float plate removal.
d. Ensure the mounting base has not changed position on the top plate of the door weldment. Temporarily tighten two socket
head cap screws on opposite sides of the mounting base. Remove the other two socket head cap screws, coat the threads
with blue Loctite™, reinstall, and tighten (refer to appropriate charts for correct tightening torque). Repeat for the remaining
two socket head cap screws.
e. Coat the threads of the four shoulder bolts used to secure the floating switch plate with blue Loctite™. Install the floating
plate and tighten the shoulder bolts. Ensure the floating moves freely on the mounting base following installation.
f. Open the RH door. Slide the floating plate to one extreme, then slowly close the RH door. Observe the safety door claw
on the floating plate to ensure it will still engage correctly with the fixed claw on the RH door. Open the RH door and slide
the floating plate to the other extreme. Slowly close the RH door and ensure the claw on the floating plate still engages
correctly with the fixed claw on the RH door.

Safety Door Switch Adjustment (continued):
Incorrect engagement at one floating plate extreme position Incorrect engagement at second floating plate extreme position
(switch impacts and binds on fixed safety door components) (claws do not engage).
Illustration 3.E.6: Safety Door Switch Adjustment 02
g. Connect hydraulic power to the tong.

h. Ensure the door is closed and all personnel are clear. Begin rotating the cage plate. Open the tong door - the cage plate
should immediately and completely stop.
i. Release all controls, and close the tong door again. Ensure the cage plate rotates with the door closed.
j. If cage plate continues to rotate with the door open, re-adjustment of the safety door switch is necessary. If safety door func-
tion can not be reliably restored within the adjustment range of the safety door switch, contact McCoy Drilling & Completions
| Farr for technical assistance.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR HYDRAULIC POWER TONG WITH A MALFUNCTIONING OR NON-

OPERATIONAL SAFETY DOOR SYSTEM.
F. RECOMMENDED PERIODIC CHECKS

1. Door Stop Spring
The spring inside the actuator cylinder must be of sufficient strength to enable the door latch mechanism to snap closed prop-
erly, and to hold the door in the open position when opened. Door stop spring fatigue will result in sluggish latch operation.
Replace the latch spring inside the cylinder when this occurs.
2. Backing Pin
Perform a visual inspection of the backing pin after each job. Replace the pin if stress cracks or excessive wear is found, or if
either pin is bent.
3. Shifting Shaft
The shifting yoke is secured to the shifting shaft by one hex jam nut above the shifting yoke, and one locknut on the bottom
of the yoke. Check these nuts after each job. Do this by removing the clutch inspection plate and ensuring a snug fit prior to
lubrication.
4. Torque Gauge Assembly
Periodic calibration of the torque gauge is recommended to assure accurate torque readings. When having the torque gauge
serviced and calibrated, it is critical to note the arm length of the tong, as indicated in the “Specifications” section. Farr recom-
mends that the torque gauge assembly be calibrated yearly. Periodically check to ensure the load cell is filled with oil (see
Section 6).

G. OVERHAUL PROCEDURES
The tong may be overhauled following the disassembly instructions in the following procedure. Remove the top plate to access the
gear train for the purpose of maintenance and overhaul by following the procedure in this section.
ALL MAINTENANCE AND OVERHAUL SHOULD BE PERFORMED FROM THE TOP. THE BOTTOM
PLATE OF THE TONG IS TYPICALLY WELDED TO THE SIDE BODY AND CANNOT BE REMOVED.
REPLACEMENT FASTENERs (BOLTS, NUTS, CAP SCREWS, MACHINE SCREWS, ETC.) USED
DURING MAINTENANCE OR OVERHAUL MUST BE GRADE 8 OR EQUIVALENT.
1. Ensure the tong is placed on supports that provide adequate support, but still allows access to the bottom cage plate assembly.
2. Connect the master link of the chain sling to a crane and raise until most, but not all, of the slack has been taken up by the crane.
Disconnect the four shackle assemblies at the lifting lugs to free the chain sling assembly from the tong, and use the crane to
move the chain sling to a secure storage location (see Section 2.A for proper chain sling storage recommendations).
3. Remove the four top chain sling hanger plates from the top plate of the tong, followed by the four hanger lug weldments that are
bolted to the bottom plate of the tong.
4. Disconnect at the hydraulic valve assembly all flexible hydraulic lines running from the safety door switch and motor. Disconnect
both 1” hydraulic lines at the motor. Remove the bolts securing hydraulic inlet/outlet support base weldment to the top plate of
the motor mount. Remove the three 1/2” x 4-1/2” bolts securing the hydraulic valve assembly to the valve support posts. Use
a temporary sling and crane to lift the hydraulic valve section up and away from the top plate of the tong. If the hydraulic valve
assembly does not require service ensure it is stored in a clean, secure location. Cover all exposed connections.
5. Remove the three valve support post weldments from the top plate of the tong.
6. Remove the two tong door stop cylinders. Use caution as the door springs may be retain energy from being compressed.
Remove both rear door cylinder support posts from the top plate of the tong.
7. Swing the RH door assembly to the open position. Support the entire weight of the door assembly using a temporary lifting sling
and crane, using caution not to put any upward force on the door assembly. Remove the nylock nuts securing the top and bot-
tom of the door pivot shaft, followed by the narrow flat washers. Use a soft alloy material (e.g. brass rod, etc.) to lightly tap the
shaft up through the support roller assembly until it comes free at the top, using caution not to damage the threads on the ends
of the support roller shaft. Use the crane to move the door assembly to a suitable storage location.
DISASSEMBLY NOTE: The safety door switch components may be left in place on the door assemblies.
8. Undo any restraints securing the flexible safety door hydraulic lines to the top plate. Repeat Step 7 for the LH door assembly.
Use caution that the flexible safety door lines do not snag on any protruding object as the door assembly is moved to a suitable
location, and ensure the exposed connectors on the hydraulic lines are protected from contamination.
9. Remove the torque gauge mounting plate from its holder if not already done.
10. Remove the six 5/8” x 2” bolts securing the motor, and lift the motor off the motor mount. Inspect the motor gear, located at
the bottom of the motor shaft, for gear clashing or tooth damage. Confirm that the motor gear remains securely attached to the
motor shaft. Move the motor to a suitable clean storage location and ensure that any exposed hydraulic ports are protected from
contamination.
11. Remove the shifter handle weldment by removing both clevis pins and hitch pins securing it to the shifter shaft and mounting
lug weldment. The mounting lug weldment may be removed if desired, but removal from the top plate of the motor mount is not
required.
12. Loosen the locking nut on the shifter detent force adjustment bolt (see Section 3.E.4) and un-thread the adjustment bolt to relieve
compression on the detent spring. Do not completely un-thread the bolt from the detent tube.
13. Remove the access panel on the left rear side of the body adjacent to the motor mount. Remove the 3/4” nylock nut from the
bottom of the shifting shaft to loosen the shifting fork. The shifting shaft may now be carefully rotated and pulled straight up and
out of the shifter bushings. Use caution not to lose the detent ball, which may become displaced from the detent tube on the top
shifter bushing when the shifting shaft is removed.
14. Remove the motor mount by removing the eight socket head cap screws. The motor mount weldment can be lifted out of place.
Take care not to lose the two positioning dowel pins - one, or both, may come off with the mount.
15. Remove the 1/4” flat-head countersunk machine screw and retainer plate that secures the top clutch gear to the clutch shaft.
Remove the top clutch gear - use caution not to lose the two gear keys that may come off with the gear. Remove the top clutch
shaft spacer.
16. Remove the four 3/8” flat head countersunk machine screws securing the clutch bearing plate to the top plate, and remove the
clutch bearing plate.

(Top Plate Removal Cont’d)
17. If not already done, remove the two jaws and jaw pivot bolts.
18. Remove the 7/8” nylock nut from the top of the rear cage plate bolt, and remove the backing pin, backing pin knob, and backing
pin retainer.
19. Loosen both brake bands (see Section 3.E.1) by backing off the top and bottom brake band adjustment bolts until the brake
bands completely release the top and bottom cage plates. Completely remove the adjustment nut and bolt for the top brake
band weldments. Remove the external retaining rings securing the brake band pivots to the support roller shafts, and remove
both top brake band weldments.
THE CAGE PLATE BOLTS ARE THE ONLY ITEMS FASTENING THE BOTTOM CAGE PLATE TO THE
TONG. SUPPORT THE BOTTOM CAGE PLATE FROM BELOW PRIOR TO REMOVING CAGE PLATE
BOLTS IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM CAGE PLATE OR PERSONAL INJURY
TO THE MECHANIC
20. Support the bottom cage plate. Remove the two front cage plate bolts, washers, and nylock nuts, and the rear cage plate bolt.
Remove the cage plate spacers. Remove the bottom cage plate assembly and move to a suitable storage location. Inspect the
manganese bronze guide ring ring for gouges, cracks, and other damage. Remove the top cage plate and move to a suitable
storage location.
22. Pull the top bearing cap and spacer for the pinion drive gear by removing the four 1/2" bolts which secure the bearing cap.
Thread two of the removed bolts into the extra holes on top of the bearing cap, and use them as lifting lugs to lift the bearing
cap out of place.
IF THE BEARING REMAINS ATTACHED TO THE GEAR SHAFT AFTER THE BEARING CAP IS
PULLED, FARR SERVICE PERSONNEL RECOMMENDS LEAVING IT IN PLACE UNTIL THE TOP
TONG PLATE IS REMOVED.
23. Remove the top 1-1/2” nylock nuts and pads for the four rotary idler gears.
24. Remove the nylock nuts from the top of the support roller shafts. Use a soft alloy material (e.g. brass rod, etc.) to lightly tap the
shafts downwards until they are flush with the top plate of the tong.
25. Remove the hex head bolts and washers, and countersunk socket head screws around the perimeter of the tong which secure
the top plate to the gear case housing.
26. With all the above steps taken, the top tong plate weldment can be lifted off providing access to the inside of the gear case.

H. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
Assembly of Farr Hydraulic Power Tongs is simple, and can be accomplished without the use of special tools. The instructions on
this page are presented as a guide only, and are similar to the assembly sequence our technician would use while assembling the
tong in our plant.
NOTE ON INSTALLATION PRACTICES: Ensure all bearings are liberally greased before installing over a shaft or into gears
or bearing caps. When inserting a shaft through a support roller assembly ensure shaft is greased. Also ensure all metal-
to-metal contact in the gear train is adequately greased. When graphics are not used in the assembly process, please refer
to the relevant exploded diagrams in Section 5.
ALL FASTENERS USED DURING REASSEMBLY OF LOAD-BEARING COMPONENTS (CHAIN

SLINGS, RIGID SLINGS, BACKUP LEGS) MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE.
Threaded fasteners used in load-bearing devices must be secured with red
loctite™.

Assembly Procedure (Continued):
1. Position the tong body gear case on a suitable stationary support such that the bottom body plate is accessible.
2. Press a support roller bearing (PN 1393-136) into one side of each of the support rollers (PN 1393-135, 12 total).
3. Insert an inner support roller spacer (PN 1393-134) into the centre of each support roller, and insert a second bearing into the
other end of the support rollers.
4. Slide a regular threaded support roller shaft (PN 1393-131) through eight of the support roller assemblies, centering as best as
possible in the assembly.
5. Slide a brake band-coincidental support roller shaft (PN 101-1917) through two of the support roller assemblies, centering as
best as possible in the assembly.
6. Press an idler bearing (PN 1393-106) into each of the four rotary idler gears (PN 1393-119) until it comes into contact with the
inner lip of the gear (orient the gear so the inner lip is on the bottom). Insert an outer spacer (PN 1393-109) into each gear until
it comes into contact with the bearing.
7. Ensure the rotary idler gears are oriented so that the lips on the gears are “down”. Lightly grease the two rotary idler shafts
(PN 101-2229) intended for use with idler assemblies equipped with gear plates (see Pp. 5.10 - 5.11), and insert into bearing,
ensuring the “bottom” sides of the shafts are down (the ‘“top” of the idler shaft is threaded for a grease fitting). Slide an inner
spacer (PN 1393-108) over each shaft until it comes into contact with the previously installed bearing.
8. Slide an idler bearing (PN 1393-106) over each of the two shafts installed in the previous step until they come into contact with
the inner and outer spacers. Secure bearings and spacers in each idler gear with a retainer ring (PN 1393-110). Center the
gear and bearing assemblies on the shafts as best as possible.
9. Press a gear plate bearing (PN 1393-106) into each of the four gear plates (PN 101-2227) until the bearings come into contact
with the inner lips. Slide a gear plate assembly over the bottom of each end of the idler assemblies assembled in Step 8 until
they come into contact with the idler gears - note that the “lip” on each gear plate faces towards the idler gear (see Pp. 5.10 -
5.11 for correct orientation). Slide a rotary idler gear spacer (PN 101-2228) over the bottom end of each shaft and press against
the gear plates. Do not install the “top” idler gear plates and gear spacers at this time.
10. Slide a support roller shaft spacer (PN 1393-140) over the end of the the ten support roller assemblies with installed shafts.
Install three standard support roller assemblies and one brake band-coincidental roller assembly in the correct location along
one side of the body case (see Illustration 3.H.1), ensuring the shaft spacer is between the bottom plate and the support roller.
11. Use a temporary lifting sling and a crane to maneuver the rotary gear in to place on the tong, making sure the backing pin slots
are on the side facing up. Support one side using the support rollers installed in Step 10, and have the opening in the rotary
gear oriented as shown in illustration 3.H.1.

Assembly Procedure (Continued):
12. Install support roller assemblies in the locations exposed by the opening in the rotary gear. Continue to rotate the rotary gear,
installing four support roller assemblies on the other side of the tong in the rotary gear opening as it is rotated. Ensure the
second brake band-coincidental support roller is installed in the correct location, and that the shaft spacer on each assembly is
placed between the bottom plate and the support rollers.
13. As the rotary idler locations are exposed, install the rotary idler assemblies with gear plates (assembled in Step 9) into their
proper locations. Ensure that rotary idler gear spacers are installed so that they rest between the bottom gear plate and the
bottom plate of the tong.
Illustration 3.H.2: Support Roller & Rotary Idler Installation

14. Continue to rotate the rotary gear until all ten support roller assemblies and the second gear plate-equipped rotary idler have
been installed in their correct locations. Finish with the rotary gear aligned with the opening in the bottom plate. Do not install
the two door pivot support roller assemblies at this time.
15. Assemble and install the remaining two rotary idler assemblies. Orient the two remaining rotary idler gears and bearing assem-
blies (assembled in Step 6) so that the lips on the gears are “down”. Lightly grease the remaining two rotary idler shafts (PN
1393-117) and insert through the bearings inside the gears, ensuring the “bottom” sides of the shafts are down (the ‘“top” of the
idler shaft is threaded for a grease fitting). Slide an inner spacer (PN 1393-108) over each shaft until it comes into contact with
the previously installed bearing.
16. Slide an idler bearing (PN 1393-106) over each of the two shafts until they come into contact with the inner and outer spacers.
Secure bearings and spacers in each idler gear with a retainer ring (PN 1393-110). Center the gear and bearing assemblies as
best as possible on the shafts.
17. Slide a rotary idler spacer (PN 1393-121) over the bottom end of the remaining two rotary idler assemblies and insert through
bottom plate, ensuring the idler spacer is between the bottom plate of the tong and the rotary idler gears. Mesh the gears with
the previously installed rotary idlers. Slide the remaining two rotary idler spacers over the tops of the two rotary idler shafts.
18. Press the remaining two gear plate bearings (PN 1393-93) in to the two remaining gear plates (PN 101-2227). Slide a gear

I. Daily Inspection & Maintenance Checklist (power tong)
Farr recommends that the following inspection and maintenance procedures be performed before each use, and at least once per
day when the tong is in steady use, in the order in which they are listed.
1. Rotate cage plate/rotary gear until the opening in the rotary gear faces towards the rear of the tong.
Do not perform any further actions or maintenance while the tong is con-
nected to any hydraulic power supply. Farr recommends that all hydraulic
lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure is bled off.
Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environmental contami-
nation from residual hydraulic fluid.
Depressurize Hydraulic System In Preparation For Maintenance:
1) Rotate the tong to the “open throat” position. Ensure tong and backup doors (if equipped) are closed. Fully extend
the lift cylinder
2) De-energize the power unit.
3) Repeatedly actuate the tong motor control valve lever IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in
2. the valve and motor.
4) Remove the hydraulic SUPPLY line from the equipment.
5) Repeatedly actuate the remaining control valve levers IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in
the remainder of the hydraulic control system.
7) Disconnect the hydraulic RETURN line from the equipment.
8) Disconnect remaining hoses such as case drains, or lines connected to the turns counter.
Hydraulic pressures as high as operating pressure may remain trapped in

small areas of the equipment. Ensure all maintenance is carried out by a
qualified service technician, and that adequate personal protective equip-
ment is used to guard against pressure injuries
Perform an initial wash of the tong in order to remove the majority of dirt and grease build-up. Ensure adequate contain-
3. ment is in place to prevent environmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid and dirty grease.
4. Remove the access panel on the side of the tong directly adjacent to the shifter mechanism.
Use a flashlight to perform a visual inspection of the gear train through the access panel and the opening of the rotary
5. gear. If gear damage or chips of metal are seen, the tong should be removed from service and overhauled to avoid further
damage. Replace access panel when inspection is complete.
Perform a visual inspection of all fasteners and protruding body pieces (example: hydraulic valve mounts, inlet & outlet
6. line supports, tong legs, shifter handle pivot lugs). Tighten or replace loose or missing fasteners. Farr recommends that
damaged or missing body parts be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Inspect the jaws and dies. Inspect the jaw roller pins for signs of damage - replace pins if necessary. If the pins are welded
7. in place, replace the entire jaw assembly. Ensure dies are secure in the jaw - replace worn dies if necessary. Ensure that
the jaw rollers rotate freely. Check to ensure the size of the loaded jaws match the size of casing or pipe you are running.
Perform a visual inspection of all lifting points - if visible damage is seen, including cracks, broken lugs, distorted metal,
8. etc. replace damaged part(s) before placing tong in service. Also inspect all chains, master links, and turnbuckles - again,
if any damage is noted replace the damaged part(s) before placing the tong in service.
Inspect tong for signs of premature wear, or moving parts that are rubbing (bare metal where there used to be paint is a
9. good indication of wear.
10. Inspect backing pin(s). If cracked, broken, or bent it (they) must be replaced.
Inspect top and bottom brake band linings - replace if necessary. Unequal wear of the brake bands indicates that the
11. brake band tension is not evenly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on properly
adjusting brake bands.
Perform a visual inspection of all hydraulic lines. Replace flexible lines if they appear to be cracked, fatigued, or have
12. visible signs of wear from contact with a rigid object.

13. visible signs of wear from contact with a rigid object.
14. Perform a complete greasing of the tong - refer to Maintenance section of the technical manual
Ensure main supply and return connections to the tong are fully made up. Re-connect the remainder of the hydraulic
15. lines, and, if applicable, the electrical line to the turns counter.
Failure to ensure that the self-sealing supply and return lines are fully
made up may result in catastrophic equipment failure.
If using a stand-alone power unit, start it now - refer to the power unit technical manual for startup procedures. Listen to power unit for
a moment to see if there are any unusual mechanical sounds (rubbing, grinding, excessive pump noise). If using a diesel unit, allow
sufficient time for the engine to reach operating temperature before increasing engine RPM. Once engine is warm, gradually increase
engine RPM until operating speed is reached.
Ensure that supply pressure is at or above the tong’s specified operating pressure, and that the return pressure is less
16. than 350 psi.
17. Perform a visual inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines. Document and correct any hydraulic fluid leaks.
Perform a full functional test of the tong. Report and correct any hydraulic leaks from the hydraulic valve bank, or from
18. any hydraulic cylinders that are used.
Perform a visual inspection of the load cell. If using a tension load cell, replace any cracked, broken, or distorted com-
19. ponents including links and chains. If using a compression load cell, replace any component that has been crushed or
otherwise distorted through compression.
If applicable, inspect the load cell anchor pins (tension load cell only). Replace the anchor pins if cracking or metal
20. distortion is seen.
If applicable, the weld securing the single load cell anchor to the bridge bar main plate must be inspected (compression
load cell only). If the integrity of the weld has been compromised, the tong must be removed from service until the weld
21. is repaired. The load cell beam will need to be disconnected and removed so the weld is visible. Before re-installing the
beam, liberally grease the anchor pin before reinserting into the load cell beam.
Test safety door feature (if equipped). Open the tong door(s), and attempt to rotate the cage plate at low speed (low
gear) in both directions (makeup and breakout). If cage plate begins rotating, the safety door mechanism is not func-
22. tional, and the tong must be removed from service until the safety door mechanism can be repaired. If the safety door
is operating correctly, cage plate rotation will not be inhibited once the door is closed and latched.
Never operate your equipment with a bypassed or malfunctioning safety

door
While rotating the cage plate, ensure that the jaws properly cam. If the jaws do not cam properly, the brake bands
23. need to be tightened. Incrementally adjust both the top and bottom brake bands EQUALLY until proper cam action is
achieved.

J. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE Checklist - power tong
The following maintenance checklist is intended as a guideline rather than a definitive maintenance schedule. Your equipment may
require more, or less, maintenance depending upon the frequency of use, the percentage of maximum torque that your equipment is
routinely subjected to, and the field conditions under which your equipment operates. Farr recommends that the following inspection
and maintenance procedures be performed monthly, or in conjunction with your maintenance foreman’s experience and best estimate
of when your equipment is due for this maintenance.
1. Rotate cage plate/rotary gear until the opening in the rotary gear faces towards the rear of the tong.
Do not perform any further actions or maintenance while the tong is con-
nected to any hydraulic power supply. Farr recommends that all hydraulic
lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure is bled off.
Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environmental contami-
nation from residual hydraulic fluid.
Depressurize Hydraulic System In Preparation For Maintenance:
1) Rotate the tong to the “open throat” position. Ensure tong and backup doors (if equipped) are closed. Fully extend
the lift cylinder
3) Repeatedly actuate the tong motor control valve lever IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in
2. the valve and motor.
5) Repeatedly actuate the remaining control valve levers IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in
the remainder of the hydraulic control system.

Clean the exterior of the tool thoroughly, using either water (if using a pressure washer ensure a low-pressure wash wand
3. is used), or an appropriate solvent-based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate containment is in place
to prevent environmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents.
Clean the interior of the tong thoroughly, using either water (do not use a pressure washer), or an appropriate solvent-
based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environmental con-
5. tamination from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents. Make a note if any metal shavings or metal
pieces are flushed out of the gear train cavity - if shavings or metal pieces are seen the tong must be overhauled before
it is returned to service.
Inspect all fasteners and fastener safety wires (if equipped). Replace any missing fasteners - use Grade 8 bolts only un-
6. less otherwise specified. Re-torque all external fasteners to SAE specifications.
Repair or replace any damaged or missing external body parts, such as torque gauge mounts, hydraulic supports, safety
7. door protectors, etc.
Perform a visual inspection of all fasteners and protruding body pieces (example: hydraulic valve mounts, inlet & outlet
8. line supports, tong legs, shifter handle pivot lugs). Tighten or replace loose or missing fasteners. Farr recommends that
damaged or missing body parts be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Inspect tong for signs of premature wear, or moving parts that are rubbing (bare metal where there used to be paint is a
9. good indication of wear.
Inspect all paint - locations in which the paint has been damaged must be repaired prior to the tong being returned to
service. Prepare areas to be painted to ensure they are free of grease, dirt, or solvent. Touch up using a solvent-based
10. acrylic paint - “Farr Blue” is paint number RAL5005 (contact Farr sales for paint number for custom paint applications).
Allow sufficient time for paint to dry before proceeding.
Inspect all external welds. Any weld that is cracked or separating must be repaired and repainted before returning the
11. tong to service.

Perform a visual inspection of all lifting points - if visible damage is seen, including cracks, broken lugs, distorted metal,
etc. replace damaged part(s) before placing tong in service. Also inspect all chains, master links, and turnbuckles -
again, if any damage is noted replace the damaged part(s) before placing the tong in service. Refer to Section 2A of
12. the technical manual (Sling/Load Bearing Device Safety) for information on recommended testing and recertification.
Please note that turnbuckles with part number 101-3086 (short turnbuckles) use a high-strength pin which must be
supplied by Farr.
“Short” turnbuckles having part number 101-3086 employ high-strength pins

which must be supplied by Farr.
Rotate the gear train by hand, and use a flashlight to perform a visual inspection of the gear train through the access
panel and the opening of the rotary gear while the gear train is being rotated. If gear damage or chips of metal are
13. seen, the tong should be removed from service and overhauled to avoid further damage. Replace access panel when
inspection is complete.
Inspect all jaws and dies in use for the maintenance interval. Inspect the jaw roller pins for signs of damage - replace
14. pins if necessary. If the pins are welded in place, remove and quarantine the jaw until the weld is repaired. Ensure dies
are secure in the jaw - replace worn dies if necessary. Ensure that the jaw rollers rotate freely.
16. brake band tension is not evenly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on properly
adjusting brake bands.
Inspect door springs. Ensure the springs retain sufficient strength to be able to assist the opening of the door, and to
17. keep the door open. The springs should also help to “snap” the door shut.
Inspect backup springs (if applicable). The rear extension springs should be equally extended, and the front leg springs
should be equally compressed. Ensure that neither of the rear backup springs have been over-extended and lack
18. sufficient tension to adequately support the backup. Ensure that neither of the front leg springs have been over-com-
pressed, and still retain enough spring strength to support the front of the backup.
Extend all hydraulic cylinders, and inspect cylinder rods for signs of mechanical damage, flaking, or rust. Farr recom-
19. mends that damaged cylinders be replaced prior to storage.
20. visible signs of wear from contact with a rigid object. If your tong is equipped with rigid hydraulic lines, replace any line
that is dented or appears to be stressed or cracked.
Generously fill the gear train housing with grease through the access panel, and also through the opening in the rotary
21. gear. Perform a full lubrication - refer to Maintenance section of manual to determine lubrication points.
Ensure main supply and return connections to the tong are fully made up. Re-connect the remainder of the hydraulic
22. lines, and, if applicable, the electrical line to the turns counter.
If using a stand-alone power unit, start it now - refer to the power unit technical manual for startup procedures. Listen to power unit for
a moment to see if there are any unusual mechanical sounds (rubbing, grinding, excessive pump noise). If using a diesel unit, allow
sufficient time for the engine to reach operating temperature before increasing engine RPM. Once engine is warm, gradually increase
engine RPM until operating speed is reached.
23. than 350 psi.
Perform a visual inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines. If any hydraulic fittings or hoses are leaking they must be
24. repaired or replaced before proceeding.
Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another minute, ending with the opening of
25. the rotary gear facing the gear train. De-energize the power unit, and perform another generous lubrication of the gear
train, including the gear housing.
Energize power unit. Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another minute, ending
26. with the opening of the rotary gear facing the gear train.
27. De-energize the power unit, and perform a third generous lubrication of the gear train, including the gear housing.

Re-energize power unit and extend all hydraulic cylinders. Inspect cylinder rods for signs of mechanical damage, flak-
28. ing, or rust. Farr recommends that damaged cylinders be replaced.
Rotate tong in low gear for 5 minutes while monitoring pressurized seals and hydraulic lines. If a seal, line, or fitting
29. begins to leak while tong is rotating, it must be replaced before the equipment is returned to service.
Rotate tong in high gear for 5 minutes while monitoring temperature of top and bottom bearing caps. If the bearing caps
30. are hot to the touch (higher than approximately 50oC) replace the applicable bearings. Likewise if the tong is making
unusual noises check for damaged bearings (see Maintenance Manual for all bearing locations).
Install load cell. If using a tension load cell, perform a visual inspection and replace any cracked, broken, or distorted
31. components including links and chains. If using a compression load cell, replace any component that has been crushed
or otherwise distorted through compression.
If applicable, inspect the load cell anchor pins (tension load cell only). Replace the anchor pins if cracking or metal
32. distortion is seen.
Inspect load cell for damage or signs of stress. Check oil level in load cell and fill if necessary (refer to technical manual
34. Section 7 or Section 8).
achieved. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on properly adjusting brake bands.
Perform a full functional test of the tong including, if applicable, backup components, lift cylinder, and float frame com-
36. ponents. Report and correct any hydraulic leaks from the hydraulic valve bank, or from any hydraulic cylinders that
are used.
Test safety door feature (if equipped). Begin rotating the tong at low speed, and open the tong door(s). If rotation does
not immediately stop, this is an indication that the safety door mechanism is not operating correctly and the tong must
37. be removed from service until the mechanism is repaired. Repeat the test while operating the tong in the opposite direc-
tion. If the safety door is operating correctly, cage plate rotation will not be inhibited once the door is closed and latched.

door
Farr recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied to all external unpainted surfaces (and
38. chain slings) EXCEPT cylinder rods, jaw rollers, and rotary gear camming surfaces. Refer to manufacturer data sheets
for proper application and safety information.
Once all of the above maintenance checklist items have been satisfactorily completed the tool may
be returned to service.

K. daily Inspection & Maintenance Checklist (power unit)
Farr recommends that the following inspections and maintenance procedures be performed before each use, and at least once per
day when the equipment is in steady use, in the sequence in which they are listed. Rigorous inspection and maintenance, especially
lubrication, is essential in order to ensure that your equipment always meets specifications, and to prevent catastrophic failures that
can severely damage your equipment and cause worker injury.
If using a stand-alone power unit, perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures before each use, and at least once
per day when the power unit is in steady use:
Do not perform any maintenance while the power unit is energized (electric) or if the engine is running (diesel). Ensure the electri-
cal supply is locked out, or, if using a diesel power supply, ensure that the engine is locked out or the starting mechanism otherwise
disabled.
Diesel Only
1. Check engine oil levels - add if necessary
2. Check diesel fuel tank - fill if necessary.
3. Visually inspect all fan belts.
Activate mechanical shut-off device - ensure that shut-off switch on engine is engaging when manual shut-off switch
4. is actuated.
Electric Only
Visually inspect all electrical lines and visible connections. If your unit is NOT explosion proof, open the electrical en-
1. closure and VISUALLY inspect contacts and connections for signs of corrosion or arcing. Do not open explosion-proof
enclosures.
Never place hands inside an electrical enclosure unless you have confirmed
that the power has been disconnected and locked out
2. Visually inspect main electrical line between main power source and power unit.
All Units
5. Perform a visual inspection of all parts. Check to ensure there are no loose or missing fasteners.
Check hydraulic fluid level - ensure cold level is approximately half-way up the sight glass on the hydraulic fluid res-
6. ervoir.
7. Perform a visual inspection to ensure there are no hydraulic fluid leaks - correct if necessary.
8. Check that the main supply and return lines on the hydraulic fluid reservoir are both fully open.
Apply grease to any grease fittings that your power unit may have. Apply grease to each fitting until grease is visibly
9. displaced from bearing, or as recommended by your power unit manual.
10. Ensure supply and return connections at the power unit and at the equipment in use are fully made up.
Check hydraulic fluid filter back pressure (must be done while fluid is circulating). If needle on indicator gauge is in
11. the red zone, the filter should be changed the next time the unit is shut down

L. TUBULAR CONNECTION EQUIPMENT De-commissioning procedure
Perform the following decommissioning procedures when removing tubular connection equipment from service, with the intent of
short to long-term storage. These procedures are essential for ensuring proper protection of the equipment from environmental attack,
and to aid in the quick turnaround when returning the equipment to service.
Store all o-rings, seals, packings, gaskets, etc. in strong moisture proof, airtight containers. Ensure that these items are not crushed,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
Do not perform any further actions or maintenance while the tong is connected to any hydraulic power supply. Farr recommends
that all hydraulic lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure is bled off. Ensure adequate containment is in place to
prevent environmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid.
Depressurization Procedure In Preparation For Storage:
1) Rotate the tong so that the opening in the rotary gear faces the gear train (towards the rear of the tong). Ensure tong and backup
doors (if equipped) are closed. Fully extend the lift cylinder (if equipped). If mounted in a frame, retract the float cylinders (if
equipped).
3) Repeatedly actuate the tong motor control valve lever IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in the valve
and motor.
5) Repeatedly actuate the remaining control valve levers IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in the remain-
der of the hydraulic control system.

Perform an initial wash of the tool in order to remove the majority of dirt and grease build-up. Ensure adequate contain-
1. ment is in place to prevent environmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid and dirty grease.
Clean the interior of the tong thoroughly, using either water (do not use a pressure washer), or an appropriate solvent-
based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environmental con-
3. tamination from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents. Make a note if any metal shavings or metal
pieces are flushed out of the gear train cavity - if shavings or metal pieces are seen the tong must be overhauled before
it is returned to service.
Clean the exterior of the tool thoroughly, using either water (do not use a pressure washer), or an appropriate solvent-
4. based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environmental contami-
nation from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents.
Inspect all fasteners and fastener safety wires. Replace any missing fasteners - use Grade 8 bolts only. Re-torque all
5. external fasteners to SAE specifications.
Repair or replace any damaged or missing external body parts, such as torque gauge mounts, hydraulic supports, safety
7. door protectors, etc.
Inspect all paint - locations in which the paint has been damaged must be repaired prior to storage. Prepare areas to be
8. painted to ensure they are free of grease, dirt, or solvent. Touch up using a solvent-based acrylic paint - “Farr Blue” is
paint number RAL.5005. Allow sufficient time for paint to dry before proceeding.
Perform a liberal lubrication of the equipment - refer to Maintenance section of manual to determine lubrication points.
9. Generously fill the gear train housing with grease through the access panel, and also through the opening in the rotary
gear.
Connect the equipment to a hydraulic power unit. Ensure all lines are fully made up to prevent equipment damage from
10. excessive back pressure. Do not neglect to connect the motor drain.
11. Energize power unit.
Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another minute, ending with the opening of the
12. rotary gear facing the gear train. De-energize the power unit, and perform another generous lubrication of the gear train,
including the gear housing.

Energize power unit. Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another minute, ending with
13. the opening of the rotary gear facing the gear train.
14. De-energize the power unit, and perform a third generous lubrication of the gear train, including the gear housing.
Energize power unit, and rotate the tong for a final time, one minute in one direction, stop, and reverse the direction of
15. rotation for another minute, this time ending with the rotary gear in the “open throat” position.
Extend all hydraulic cylinders, and inspect cylinder rods for signs of mechanical damage, flaking, or rust. Farr recom-
16. mends that damaged cylinders be replaced prior to storage.
If you are using a frame-mounted tool, the tong must be lowered onto the backup in order to remove the risk of sudden
and catastrophic movement when pressure is removed from the float cylinders. Cover the top of the backup with protec-
tive cloth to protect the paint on the backup. Place two wooden beams across the top of the tong, ensuring that the beams
17. have a minimum size of 4” x 4” x the width of the tong. Cover the tops of the wooden beams with more protective cloth to
prevent paint damage to the tong. When lowering the tong onto the beams, ensure that the beams come into flat contact
with the bottom of the tong, away from bearing caps, brake bands, or other protrusions on the bottom of the tong. Ensure
that the tong hanger chains are loose, but not dangling into contact with the hangers or top plate of the tong.
Depressurization Procedure For Storage:
1) Rotate the tong to the “open throat” position.

2) Exercise each hydraulic cylinder several times - open the tong and backup doors (if equipped), retract and extend the remote
backing pin ramp (if equipped), retract and extend the float cylinders. Leave all cylinders except for the door cylinders in their fully
retracted position. The general idea is to have as little of the chrome cylinder rods exposed as possible.
4) Repeatedly actuate the tong motor control valve lever IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in the valve and
motor.
6) Repeatedly actuate the remaining control valve levers IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual pressure in the remainder
of the hydraulic control system.
7) Connect a low-pressure air supply line (10 PSI or less) to the hydraulic supply line, and force a small amount of the remaining
hydraulic fluid from the valve assembly - this will allow for thermal expansion of the hydraulic fluid if the equipment is stored or
transported in high ambient temperatures. Failure to do this may result in damaged or destroyed seals in the equipment.
18. If any hydraulic fittings or hoses are leaking they must be repaired or replaced before proceeding.
Wipe all excess grease from outside of equipment. Replace the access door panel. Use a solvent-based cleaner on
19. rags to wipe all external surfaces to remove residual grease or hydraulic fluid. Once the outside surfaces have been de-
greased, wipe all external surfaces with clean water to remove residual solvent.
Farr recommends that chain slings be removed and stored separately. Rigid slings and other rigid suspension devices
20. may remain in place.
21. Apply grease or heavy oil to all exposed cylinder rods.
Farr recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied to all external surfaces EXCEPT cylinder
22. rods (including chain slings). Refer to manufacturer data sheets for proper application and safety information.
Do not allow anti-corrosive agents to contact cylinder rods. Cylinder rod

damage will occur.
Allow the anti-corrosive coating ample time to dry - refer to manufacturer data sheets for drying times at room tempera-
23. ture.
Wrap entire assembly in 100 gauge (1 mil) corrosion-inhibiting wrap, at least 3 layers thick. Attempt to ensure that the tool
24. is well-sealed within the wrapping, including the bottom.

If possible, store in a sealed, climate controlled environment. If isolated storage is not available, Farr recommends storing your wrapped
equipment in a secure, out-of-the-way location, using silica gel desiccant to reduce the humidity within the wrapping. As a guideline, use
125 g. of desiccant for each cubic metre of space, or 3.5 g. per cubic foot.
Calculation Of Required Desiccant

1) Calculate the trapped air volume by measuring the outside dimensions of the tool to be stored, and treat that as the volume
to be stored. For example, the external dimensions of a KT20000 20” power tong are 80.25” x 50.5” x 28”, which calculates
to an approximate volume of 113500 in3, or 66 ft3 (1.87 m3).
2) Multiply the calculated air volume, in cubic feet, by the recommended amount of desiccant per cubic foot. Carrying forth the
example used in the previous step, the required desiccant charge would be 3.5 g. x 66 ft3, equaling 231 g. Several manufactur-
ers offer silica gel desiccant in packaged quantities of 125 grams per bag, so two packages of desiccant would be required.
Please keep in mind that this is a guideline only - more or less desiccant may be required in extreme environmental conditions.
For best corrosion resistance the equipment should be removed from storage and exercised on a regular basis, depending on the stor-
age environment. Farr recommends that for equipment stored in a salt-water maritime or exposed dusty environment, repeat steps 9
through 24 monthly. For equipment stored in isolated storage in a non-maritime environment, repeat steps 9 through 24 quarterly. Re-
place desiccant packs at this time - depleted desiccant packs may be treated as regular dunnage.

M. TUBULAR CONNECTION EQUIPMENT Recommissioning procedure
Perform the following recommissioning procedures when removing tubular connection equipment from short or long-term storage
back into regular service. These procedures are essential for ensuring proper equipment preparation and operation. The following
procedures also assume that the decommissioning and storage procedures recommended by Farr have been strictly observed.
Remove all protective plastic wrapping. If there are desiccant packs with the assembly, they may be disposed of with the
1. regular garbage.
3. Wipe excess grease or heavy oil from exposed cylinder rods.
If applicable, re-connect chain sling to lifting lugs. Perform a visual inspection of all lifting points - if visible damage is seen,
including cracks, broken lugs, distorted metal, etc. replace damaged part(s) before placing tong in service. Also inspect
4. all chains, master links, and turnbuckles - again, if any damage is noted replace the damaged part(s) before placing the
tong in service. If your company requires yearly certification of lifting equipment, ensure that the most recent test date falls
within the past year. Perform recertification if necessary.
Perform a liberal lubrication of the equipment - refer to Maintenance section of manual to determine lubrication points.
5. Generously fill the gear train housing with grease through the access panel, and also through the opening in the rotary
gear.
Connect the equipment to a hydraulic power unit. Ensure all lines are fully made up to prevent equipment damage from
6. excessive back pressure. Do not neglect to connect the motor drain.
7. Energize power unit.
8. than 350 psi.
Perform a thorough inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines and fittings. Any leaking hydraulic fluid lines or fittings must
9. be replaced before the equipment is returned to service.
Perform a thorough inspection of all seals. Any seal that is leaking or “weeping” must be replaced before the equipment
10. is returned to service.
Rotate tong in low gear for 5 minutes while monitoring pressurized seals and hydraulic lines. If a seal, line, or fitting begins
11. to leak while tong is rotating, it must be replaced before the equipment is returned to service. Finish this step with the
rotary gear opening facing the gear train. De-energize the power unit.
Inspect all flexible hydraulic lines for signs of wear, blistering, or any other signs of potential failure - replace if signs of
12. potential failure are identified.
Inspect the gear train housing. If the amount of grease is inadequate, liberally grease the gear train through the access
13. panel, and through the opening in the rotary gear.
brake band tension is not evenly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on properly
14. adjusting brake bands. Ensure that all grease is wiped from brake band linings and the parts of the cage plates that come
into contact with the brake band linings
15. Re-install access panel. Install a set of pre-inspected jaws that are the correct size for the pipe or casing being run.
Install load cell. If using a tension load cell, perform a visual inspection and replace any cracked, broken, or distorted
16. components including links and chains. If using a compression load cell, replace any component that has been crushed
or otherwise distorted through compression.
If applicable, inspect the load cell anchor pins (tension load cell only). Replace the anchor pins if cracking or metal distor-
17. tion is seen.
19. Re-energize power unit.

HD22000 22” Tong
Perform a full functional test of the equipment including, if applicable, backup components and float frame components.
20. Report and correct any hydraulic leaks from the hydraulic valve bank, or from any hydraulic cylinders that are used.
If using a frame-mounted tong and backup system, raise the tong off the beams that it is resting upon. Remove the beams
21. and protective cloths - inspect the paint on top of the backup and the bottom of the tong to ensure it has not been dam-
aged by the beam.
Test safety door feature (if equipped). Open the tong door(s), and attempt to rotate the cage plate at low speed (low gear)
in both directions (makeup and breakout). If cage plate begins rotating, the safety door mechanism is not functional, and
22. the tong must be removed from service until the safety door mechanism can be repaired. If the safety door is operating
correctly, cage plate rotation will not be inhibited once the door is closed and latched.

achieved.
24. When all of the previous steps are completed, you may return your re-commissioned equipment to service.

Troubleshooting HD22000 22” Tong
Adequate maintenance and proper fluid selection is essential for minimizing hydraulic-related failures. All troubleshooting must be per-
formed by a technician trained in hydraulic systems, and familiar with the equipment design, assembly and operation.
The following troubleshooting instructions are intended to be guidelines only. Any faults not solved through the use of this guide should be
referred to our engineering department for their evaluation and recommendations.
A. TONG WILL NOT DEVELOP SUFFICIENT TORQUE
1. Malfunctioning relief valve on tong hydraulic circuit.

a. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Relief pressure set too low.
SOLUTION: Increase setting. To check, block the oil line beyond the relief valve and determine pressure with a gauge.
b. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Relief valve is stuck.
SOLUTION: Check for contamination of oil that may inhibit the way the valve actuates. Remove valve and clean, ensuring
that the valve spring operates smoothly.
c. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Relief valve is leaking.
SOLUTION: Check valve seat for scouring. Check oil seals. Check for particles stuck under the valve system.
2. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Directional valve is leaking.

SOLUTION: Check directional valve. Neutral position should return fluid directly to the reservoir. Replace or repair valve to
ensure correct operation.
3. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Power unit is not producing adequate pressure.

SOLUTION: Troubleshoot power unit (see user’s manual for your particular unit).
4. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Poor hydraulic pressure at the tong despite adequate pressure at the power unit, or excessive back
pressure in the return line.
SOLUTION: Restrictions exist in line between power unit and tong. Inspect integrity of self-sealing couplings to ensure they
are allowing full fluid flow. Check to ensure no other restrictions exist (contaminated catch screens or filters, for example).
5. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Fluid viscosity is not appropriate (too high or too low).
SOLUTION: Ensure hydraulic fluid being used is the viscosity recommended by McCoy Drilling & Completions. Power unit pump
may not prime if fluid is too heavy, and the hydraulic system will overheat if fluid is too light. Replace with proper viscosity fluid.
SOLUTION: Hydraulic fluid viscosity is affected by environmental conditions. Ensure the fluid being used is suitable for high or
low temperatures. Replace with proper viscosity fluid for the operating conditions if necessary.
6. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Worn or damaged tong motor causing slippage.

SOLUTION: Replace or repair worn or damaged motor.
7. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Damaged bearings or gears causing excessive drag.

SOLUTION: Replace or repair worn or damaged gears or bearings.
8. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Jaws slipping on pipe.

SOLUTION: Ensure jaw dies are not worn to the point that they cannot grip. Ensure the correct sized jaws are in use.
9. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Torque gauge is indicating incorrectly

SOLUTION: Incorrect gauge is being used. Ensure gauge is the proper range, and has been properly calibrated for the arm
length of the equipment in use.
SOLUTION: Gauge has been damaged. Check gauge operation and calibration on in dependant system.

HD22000 22” Tong Troubleshooting
TONG WILL NOT DEVELOP SUFFICIENT TORQUE Cont’d:
10. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Load cell is measuring incorrectly.

SOLUTION: Incorrect load cell is being used.
SOLUTION: Air is trapped in torque measuring circuit (load cell, hydraulic line, or gauge. Refer to torque measurement trouble-
shooting in Section 6 of this manual.
SOLUTION: Load cell has been damaged. Replace load cell, or return to McCoy for repair and re-calibration.
11. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Incorrect motor speed selected.

SOLUTION: Maximum torque can only be developed when motor is in the lowest speed. Ensure motor is in low speed.
12. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Incorrect tong gear selected.

SOLUTION: Maximum torque can only be developed when tong is in low gear. Ensure tong is in low gear.

CELL/TORQUE GAUGE ASSEMBLY BE RETURNED TO THE FACTORY FOR RE-CALIBRATION
ONCE PER YEAR.

B. FAILURE OF JAWS TO GRIP PIPE
1. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Dies have become too dull to provide adequate grip.
SOLUTION: Replace dies.
2. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Incorrect jaws are being used.

SOLUTION: Double-check jaw size to ensure they are rated for the diameter of pipe or casing being run.
3. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Incorrect dies are being used

SOLUTION: Ensure dies loaded in the jaws are appropriate for the type of pipe or casing being run.
4. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Brake band(s) is (are) insufficiently adjusted, not allowing jaws to cam properly.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting
H. GENERAL COMMENTS
The following factors generally contribute to poor hydraulic operation and premature wear of equipment:
1. Contaminated hydraulic fluid due to overuse, overheating, or inadequate fluid filtration.
2. Unsuitable hydraulic fluid, especially in extreme climatic conditions.
3. Defective packing or seals in components of the hydraulic system.
4. Poor or incomplete hydraulic system training. Users must be fully qualified to operate the equipment, and have complete
understanding of the hydraulic system.
If your hydraulic troubleshooting procedures involve flow and pressure tests at the power unit, McCoy Completions & Drilling recom-
mends construction of a test rig that can easily be connected to the main suction and discharge ports of the power unit.

Torque Measurement HD22000 22” Tong
a. Basic Torque Measurement
Basic torque measurements are performed using a simple hydraulic measurement system. A hydraulic load cell connects to a cali-
brated torque gauge through a reinforced flexible hydraulic hose. The torque gauge is factory-calibrated to display accurate torque
measurements for a tong or tong and backup assembly with a particular arm length. The arm length is a measurement from the centre
of the pipe or casing to the centre of the force being applied to the load cell.
Two load cell options are available. A tension load cell is typically used with a suspended stand-alone tong. This application requires
that the load cell be attached to the rear of the tong as part of the restraint line that opposes the force generated when the tong
makes up or breaks out a joint. A compression load cell is used in a tong and backup assembly, and is typically located on the rear of
the backup between the backup and a stationary frame. The load cell must be located in the centre of the compression force vector
generated between the backup and the frame.
Hydraulic force generated by a load cell is transmitted to the torque gauge via a reinforced flexible hydraulic line. The hydraulic force
is displayed as torque in units of Ft.-Lbs. The torque gauge has a red “peak torque” indicator that tracks with the torque gauge needle
to the point of highest torque, and remains at the point of highest torque until manually reset. Note that every model of tong and
tong and backup assembly has a unique arm length, and the torque gauge must be calibrated for that arm length. Torque gauges
that are not calibrated for the arm length of the tool in service will not display correct torque. To ensure correct torque measurement,
ensure the arm length or “handle” as displayed on your torque gauge matches the arm length of the tool in service as listed on the
specifications page of the technical manual.
The images on this page are for illustration purposes only and may not accurately represent the torque gauge and load cell that have
been supplied with your equipment.

Torque gauges and load cells are supplied as a matched calibrated pair. Substituting one or the other will render the calibration
inaccurate even if the actual model numbers appear to be identical. The serial numbers of matching load cell and torque gauges
are clearly identified on the calibration certificate. Should you suspect the accuracy of your torque measurements, or wish to replace
either component the pair should be returned to the factory for re-calibration before placing into service.
torque gauges and load cells are factory-supplied supplied as matched cali-
brated pairs. if replacing either component the load cell and torque gauge
must be returned to the factory for re-calibration before placed into service.

B. TROUBLESHOOTING
Under normal operating conditions, and with proper maintenance, the torque gauge and load cell system are designed to give lasting
trouble-free performance. Faulty indication on the gauge will very often define a fault within the gauge.
IF TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALS THAT THERE IS INSUFFICIENT FLUID IN THE SYSTEM,

BEFORE RECHARGING, CHECK THAT ALL SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE FREE FROM DAMAGE.
THIS WILL ENSURE THAT FLUID LOSS WILL NOT CONTINUE AFTER RELOADING
1. Symptom: No indication on gauge.

Possible Problem: Obstruction in hydraulic hose.
Solutions: Check hydraulic hose for kinks.
Replace hydraulic hose.
Possible Problem: Loss of hydraulic fluid.
Solution: Recharge hydraulic fluid (see Section 6.C). NOTE: Ensure any breaches in the hydraulic system
between the load cell and torque gauge are repaired to prevent further fluid loss.
Possible Problem: Internal mechanism of torque gauge is damaged.
Solution: Replace gauge.
2. Symptom: Gauge indication unexpectedly high.

Possible Problem: Excessive hydraulic fluid.
Solutions: Completely drain hydraulic fluid from torque gauge/load cell system. Recharge following the
procedure in Section 6.C.
Possible Problem: Internal mechanism of gauge is damaged.
Possible Problem: Incorrect torque gauge in use (not part of the original torque gauge/load cell pair).
Solution: Replace gauge with gauge properly calibrated for the load cell in service.
3. Symptom: Gauge indication unexpectedly low

Possible Problem: Insufficient hydraulic fluid.
Possible Problem: Obstruction in hydraulic hose.
Solutions: Check hydraulic hose for kinks.
Replace hydraulic hose.
Possible Problem: Snub line not at right-angle to tong handle.
Solution: Check angle of snub line and correct if necessary.
Possible Problem: Incorrect torque gauge in use (not part of the original torque gauge/load cell pair).
Solution: Replace gauge with gauge properly calibrated for the load cell in service.
4. Symptom: Gauge indication is erratic or sluggish

Possible Problem: Insufficient hydraulic fluid in torque measurement section.
Possible Problem: Loss of damping fluid in torque gauge.
Solution: Top up or refill damping fluid (NOTE: Ensure leakage points in gauge are identified and repaired
to prevent further loss of damping fluid).
Possible Problem: Air bubbles in hydraulic fluid in the torque measurement system.
Solution: Bleed air from load cell and torque gauge and top up fluid (if necessary) as per Section 6.C.

C. PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Inspection
The torque measurement system supplied with your equipment is designed and built to provide years of trouble-free service
with minimum maintenance. Periodic inspections of the load cell, hydraulic lines and fittings are recommended in order to keep
the system in top operating condition. A thorough inspection should be made at each rig-up.
2. Fluid Recharge
Recharge hydraulic system with W15/16 fluid through the check valve on the torque indicating gauge. Recharging must only be
performed when there is no load on the load cell. Refer to the illustrations on pages 6.3 & 6.4 for guidance if required.
a. Place the torque indicating gauge higher than the load cell. Remove the brass 1/4” cap from the fitting on the check valve
on the top of the gauge.
b. Connect the hand pump to the check valve fitting.
c. Elevate the load cell so it is higher than the torque gauge and hand pump.
Un-contained spillage of the hydraulic fluid in this system may contravene

governmental environmental regulations, or the environmental regulations
and policies of your company. McCoy Drilling & Completions highly recommends
placing your load cell in a containment basin before proceeding with the
bleeding & refilling process.
d. Fill hand pump bowl with W15/16 hydraulic fluid.
MAINTAIN GREATER-THAN HALF FULL FLUID LEVEL IN THE HAND PUMP BOWL TO AVOID
PUMPING AIR INTO THE SYSTEM. DO NOT ALLOW THE LEVEL TO FALL BELOW ONE-HALF FULL
e. Remove the vent plug screw and Stat-O-Seal (Items C and D on Illustration 6.A.4, or item H on Illustration 6.A.5) to allow
trapped air to escape.
f. Pump fluid into the system until no more air is seen escaping from the vent port.
g. Replace the vent plug screw and Stat-O-Seal and tighten securely.
h. Remove load cell from containment vessel and wipe clean. Reclaim the hydraulic fluid (if it is clean) or dispose of all waste
materials according to governmental or your company’s proscribed environmental protection regulations.
i. Disconnect the hand pump from the torque gauge.
j. Replace the brass cap on the torque gauge check valve fitting.
3. Repair And Calibration

Load cell and indicator gauge should be returned to authorized repair facility for any repairs or calibration required.

vane slots must line up.
1) Place both rotors on the
spline of the shaft, rotating one
rotor until vane slots line up.
2) Mark the end of one spline
tooth inside each rotor where
they meet with white out. This
will allow visual realignment
after motor is assembled.
3) When motor is assembled,
make sure marks line up
before installing shaft. Be
careful not to rotate one rotor

Product Description
These unbalanced poppet, logic valves are 2-way switching elements that are
spring-biased closed. Pressure at either work port 1 or 2 will further bias the
valve to the closed position while pressure at port 3 will tend to open it. The
force generated at port 3 must be greater than the sum of the forces acting at
port 1 and port 2 plus the spring force for the valve to open. NOTE: The pilot
area (port 3) is 1.8 times the area at port 1 and 2.25 times the area at port 2.
