1.Summary
Model XQ140/20 hydraulic power tong is a mouth opening power tong which can
quickly make-up or break-out pipe strings in well service. It is used in making-up or
breaking-out tubing, small drilling pipe and small casing with diameters from 2 3/8"
—5 1/2" (60mm to 140mm). Compared with the same type of tongs by other tong
makers, it features simple structure, convenient operation, reliable performance, long
life, broad application range and large torque. It is widely used in onshore or offshore
oilfields. It can reduce workload, improve work efficiency and the well service quality.

this wire through the pulley on the mast, one Install a pulley on the mast, which
can bear load of 4400bf or more.
The support point of the pulley must be installed 15 meters above the well
head.
Central line of the power tong head is located at 0.6m away from the
vertical line of the well head in free suspension state.
Avoid breaking the hose due to twisting in use.
Avoid breaking the hose due to twisting in use.
The suspension height of the hydraulic tong can be adjusted easily with the
hydraulic bucket.
When the backup tong directly faces the pipe string coupling or the drilling
pipe joint, the piston rod of the bucket should be located at half of the
stroke
Power tong leveling is very important, if not level, the tong head
clamping will fail to work.
Four screws should be adjusted in coordination.

4.6Running-in Operation
□Supply hydraulic power tong with oil.
□Control the lifting bucket; adjust the height of power tong.
□Keep free-load running at low gear for 1 to 2 minutes.
□Keep free-load running at high gear for 1 to 2 minutes.
□Test tong head running in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, watch
whether master tong and backup tong being synchronous or not. Adjust the
direction of reset knob if they are not synchronous. (see Fig.28)
□Open the safety door, deliver tong to the well head, and watch whether the space
between master tongs and backup tong suitable or not. Adjust the space between
them if not suitable. The adjusting procedure is shown at 5.5
□Try to clamp the pipe string at high gear, adjust system oil supply pressure by
adjusting the overflow valve in the hydraulic system according to the table of the
making-up torque value, shifts, torque and pressure parameter (See Fig. 6)
recommended by API.
Note: Being synchronous means both the master tong dies and the backup tong
dies and the backup tong dies stretch out when operating the hand control valve in one
direction. When operating hand control valve in the opposite direction, the jaw plate
frame of the master tong and the opening gear face the opening of master tong, the jaw
plate frame of the backup tong and the main body of backup tong, too. The reason for
being non-synchronous are: 1.the wrong direction of the reset knob; 2.wrong
connection of the hoses of the backup tong is sure to slip, see 5.3.2 for the right
connection method.

Dismounting die seat assembly: pull one die seat assembly to the center of tong head,
lift it upward out of tong head directly, take out the other one in the same way. Mounting
operation is the other way round (see Fig.5-4).

The hydraulic power source must be cut off when changing jaw plates,
die seats and dies.
Refer to the steel mark on the die seat and dies for the specification.

Note:
Diameter refers to the outside diameter of tubing and casing, master tong clamps the
pipe body, and backup tong clamps the coupling in making-up and breaking-out operation.
Both master tong and backup tong clamp the drilling pipe joint. The outside diameter
of the drilling pipe refers to the outside diameter of the joint.
Use prolonged guide pole, select die seats and dies according to the actual diameter
of pipe body to be clamped when backup tong clamps the body of the pipe.
It is not suitable for the pipe string with surface hardness degree≥340HB.
Special die seat and dies can be custom-made.
Before operation, select the needed jaw plate, die seats and dies
according to Table 5-2, Table 5-3 .

5.2 Making-up operation steps (This manual is suitable for making-up or breaking-out
direction with right hand thread, but the left hand thread is on the contrary.)
□Hydraulic power tong does racing, make it back to preliminary working state.
Select proper gear according to actual requirement (usually high gear).
□ Turn the reset knobs of the master tong and backup tong to the making-up
direction; make sure the knobs point in the same direction.
□ Close the safety door.
□ Push the tong tail to make the tong turn around the rotating center, tighten the
guy.
□ Push hand control valve lever gently to begin the making-up operation.
□ Pull the lever of the hand control valve to make tong back to the initial working
position.
□ Open the safety door, push tong back to the preliminary position. One
making-up operation is over.

5.3 Breaking-out operation steps (based on right hand thread, left hand thread is on the
contrary.)
□Hydraulic power tong does racing, make it back to preliminary working state.
Select proper gear according to actual requirement (usually low gear).
□Turn the reset knobs of the master tong and backup tong to breaking-out
direction; make sure the knobs point in the same direction (see Fig.28).
□Open the safety door, push hydraulic power tong towards the pipe string, and
make sure the clamping position of master tong and backup tong is proper.
□Close the safety door.
□Pull the tong tail to make tong turn around the rotating center, tighten the back
guy.
□Pull the hand control valve operating lever gently to start breaking-out operation.
□Continue breaking-out operation till all screws thread out, then release operating
lever.
□Push hand control valve operating lever to make tong back to the preliminary
working state.
□Open the safety door, push tong back to the preliminary position. One
breaking-out operation is finished.

6.Maintenance
6.1Daily Maintenance
□Fill 25ml of lubricating grease to each grease nipple of the master axle, idle
gear-axle, and duplex gear axle. (Grease nipple positions are shown in Fig.6-1 and
Fig .6-2)
□Fill 25ml of engine oil to each of the following points: transmission pin, friction
disc, centralizing roller and jaw plate roller.
□Clean sundries from dies by wire brush.
□Clean up water and oil stain inside the tong.
□Check all parts (including jaw plate, die seat, dies and ramp plate), change or
repair if they are over-worn, damaged, rusted or leaking.
