A. SLING / LOAD BEARING DEVICE SAFETY

TM
Best By FARR
a “load-bearing device” is a chain sling, rigid sling, spreader bar as-
sembly, frame, or any other device that bears the partial or total
weight of the equipment described in this manual.
The supplied Load-Bearing device has been specified or designed to

support the equipment described in this manual. Farr Canada will not
guarantee the ability of the load-bearing device to support any other
! part, assembly or combination of parts and assemblies, or any addi-

tions to the equipment described in this manual that add weight to the
equipment, unless supplied by Farr Canada.
Farr Canada will not guarantee the INTEGRITY of MODIFIED OR DAMAGED

load-bearing deviceS, UNLESS THOSE MODIFICATIONS ARE PERFORMED BY
FARR CANADA.
Farr Canada recommends following an industry-accepted standard such as OSHA, ASME B30.9-2006, or manufacturer’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 alterations, 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

KT-10750 Tong Setup & Operation
1. Inspection Of Slings
Farr Canada strongly recommends the following practices:
TM
A complete inspection of new load-bearing devices and attachments shall be performed by a qualified, designated per-
Best By FARR
son 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 sup-
plied 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
3/8 10 0.342 8.69

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 accor-
dance 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.

modification that has been carried out which may, in the opinion of the inspection body, affect the load-
bearing elements of the container or lifting device, 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 Canada 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 Canada 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 manufacturer 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 per-
formed.

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.

D. HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
A pair of hydraulic lines - a 1” supply line and a 1-1/4” return line - connect the hydraulic pedestal to the power unit (see
TM
illustration below). To minimize the risk of injury perform hydraulic connections 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
Best By FARR
low pressure return hose has been eliminated, because the supply side coupling is smaller than the return side. These
hose couplings are self-sealing, and care should be taken to ensure complete engagement to prevent partial closure of
the check valve in the coupling. Ensure that the nut (female) side is completely made up onto the male connector - there
is a line on the male fitting that indicates complete make-up. Snug the female fitting right up to the line.

F. TONG RIG-UP & LEVELING

1. Suspension & Load Cell Tie-Off
TM
The tong should be suspended by wire rope of sufficient strength to suspend the entire weight of the tong (1800
Best By FARR
lbs. / 817 kg.) with a minimum 10% safety margin, and from a location in the derrick high enough to assure easy
handling and maneuvering of the tong. The hand line should be placed in a position as near the center of the rotary
as possible without interfering with the move-ment of the hoisting equipment. This line may either be extended over
a pulley and balanced by a counterweight equal to the weight of the tong (approximately 1800 - 1900 lbs.) or simply
tied off in the derrick to form a dead line. In cases where the dead line arrangement is used, it is necessary to use
a FARR spring hanger assembly. This spring hanger allows the tong to compensate for the downward movement
of the casing as the thread is made-up.
Farr Canada recommends using a backup line of of sufficient strength to withstand the maximum applied torque of
the tong (28,000 lbs.-ft.) plus a 10% safety margin. It must be securely connected to the load cell at the rear of the
tong, and tied off to a suitable anchor. 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 next page).

2. Tong Leveling
The tong must be leveled side-to-side and front-to-rear before placing into service. The following guidelines wil
TM
assist you when leveling your tong.
Best By FARR
i. Place a level axially (side to side) across the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong.Use
a thin wrench on the flat of the adjusting helix to rotate the helix, forcing the lift link to move towards the outer
supports of the sling. The 1” nylock nut on the pin may have to be slightly loosened to allow the helix to rotate.
Adjust the helix until the level shows that the tong is level side-to-side.
Rotate helix
using flat
3/4” Nylock nut may

have to be loosened
ii. Place a level lengthwise (front to back) along the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong.
Loosen the 3/4” jam nuts on the adjusting bolts on rigid sling brackets. Completely loosen the adjusting bolts.
Turn each adjusting bolt equally until tong hangs level front-to-back. Lock adjusting bolts in place with the jam
nuts.
Loosen 1/2” jam nut, and

retract locking bolt
Loosen 3/4” hex nut before

rotating adjustment bolt

G. TONG OPERATION
1. INITIAL START UP & BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

TM
Best By FARR
ALTHOUGH YOUR NEW EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN TESTED AND INSPECTED AT
THE FARR FACTORY PRIOR TO SHIPPING, WE ADVISE THOROUGH TESTING
OF YOUR NEW TONG AFTER YOU TAKEN POSESSION IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE
THE POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE DUE TO SHIPPING DAMAGE.
Ensure correct and secure connectons of all hydraulic hoses. Secure all electrical lines to their appropriate connec-
tions.
Ensure adequate lube oil and hydraulic oil levels before starting power unit. 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. Perform a “walk-around” of the unit to ensure
unobstructed operation, and check for hydraulic leaks or any equipment abnormalities.
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.
DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SECURELY LATCHED BEFORE
! THE POWER UNIT IS STARTED IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE

SAFETY OF OPERATING PERSONNEL
Following inspection of the hoses, start the engine and allow it to idle until warm. Allow hydraulic fluid to circulate for
approximately 10 minutes, then slowly close the Bypass Valve on the power unit to allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through
the hoses and to the tong (circulating pressure should not exceed 200 psi). Note that attempting to operate the system with
cold hydraulic fluid may affect the way the sequence valves in your system function.
Place the tong gear shifter in low gear. 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.
Farr recommends that the following pre-operating tests be performed prior to releasing the tong assembly to a
operational environment:
• Operate the tong at full speed and in high gear for a duration of one-half hour.
• Switch to low gear and operate for an additional one-half hour at full speed.

2. VALVE OPERATION

4-way proportional valves control operation of hydraulic devices on the tong assembly such as hydraulic motors and
TM
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.
Best By FARR
These valves feature proportional control, 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 illustration demonstrates the type and effects of the hydraulic valves this tong is equipped with.
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.

LIFT CYLINDER (If Equipped)
This is a proportional 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.
TM
Best By FARR
BACKUP (If Equipped)
Depending on the type of backup with which your system is equipped (Wedge, Clincher, or “Farr”) using this valve will
activate a backup cylinder, or a sequence valve. Pulling backward, towards the operator, reverses the action.

3. SHIFTING GEARS
The shifting shaft has three “detent” positions identifying the low speed/high torque position, the “neutral” or free-
spinning posiiton, and the high speed/low torque position. The detent strength may be adjusted by releasing the
TM
locknut on the detent tube and increasing or relaxing pressure on the detent spring. Ensure the locknut is tightened
Best By FARR
once the desired detent pressure has been set.
To shift to the high-speed gear, move the shifting handle upward from neutral position. To shift to the low-speed gear,
move the shifting handle down 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 next page).
DO NOT SHIFT TONG WHILE ROTATING THE MOTOR AND CAGEPLATE.

! CATASTROPHIC GEARTRAIN FAILURE MAY RESULT.
4. GENERAL OPERATIONAL COMMENTS
a) Position rotary gear in contact with both idler gears when breaking out joints or collars where high torques are A Division Of McCoy Corporation
required.
TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATING PERSONNEL, DOOR
! MUST BE CLOSED AND SECURELY LATCHED BEFORE THE

POWER UNIT IS STARTED
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
TM
high stress placed on the gear train frequently causes gear breakage.
Best By FARR
THE “SNAP-BREAK” METHOD IS
! HAZARDOUS TO RIG PERSONNEL
5. MAKING UP A PIPE OR CASING JOINT
a. Position the tong around the pipe or casing.
b. Close and latch door completely.
c. Place the backing pin in the “make-up” position. When facing the front of the tong looking toward the rear, the
“make-up” hole is to the left side of the backing pin pivot.
d. Adjust motor speed valve so that the motor will rotate at its lowest speed.
e. Push the “tong motor” handle slightly forward until the jaws “cam” with the pipe or casing, and then move the
handle to its centre position so that the tong rotation stops.
f. Adjust motor speed so that the motor will rotate at its highest speed.
g. Push the tong motor handle forward to begin the rotation again, and rotate until the tong begins to “stall”.
Release the handle again to its centre position.
h. Adust motor speed valve to its low speed setting to obtain highest torque. Use the tong motor valve to continue
to rotate the pipe or casing until the desired make-up torque is achieved.
i. Once the joint has been satisfactorally made, pull the tong motor valve handle backwards to reverse the tong
rotation and disengage the jaws and rotate the rotary gear until it aligns wtih the tong door opening.
j. Unlatch the door and remove the tong from the pipe or casing.
6. BREAKING OUT A PIPE OR CASING JOINT
a. Position the tong around the pipe or casing.
b. Close and latch door completely.
c. Place the backing pin in the “break-out” position. When facing the front of the tong looking toward the rear, the
“break-out” hole is to the right side of the backing pin pivot.
d. Adjust motor speed valve so that the motor will rotate at its lowest speed.
e. Pull the “tong motor” handle slightly backward until the jaws “cam” with the pipe or casing, and then move
the handle to its full reverse (backward) position to begin unthreading the joint. Under general “break-out”
conditions Farr Canada recommends keeping the tong motor in its slowest speed until the joint is completely
uncoupled.
f. When the joint is uncoupled reverse the rotation of the tong (push tong motor handle towards the tong) to dis-
engage the jaws. Rotate the rotary gear until it aligns wtih the tong door opening
g. Unlatch the door and remove the tong from the pipe or casing.
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 KT-10750 Tong
Regular maintenance programs are necessary, and must be established to assure dependable and lengthy operation of your
FARR Hydraulic Tubular Connection System. Use the following maintenance recommendations to enhance the life expectancy
of the system and assure safety of operating personnel.
TM
A. GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRACTICES

Best By FARR
All maintenance must be performed by trained and authorized personnel. Wear approved eyewear, and follow all of your
company’s safety guidelines.
Farr Canada recommends that disconnection of hydraulic connectors be performed with the power unit off and the
hydraulic circuit depressurized.
B. CLEANING
Clean tong thoroughly cleaned with a good petroleum-based cleaning agent after each job, prior to storage. Farr recom-
mends that the motor and valve assembly be periodically removed, along with the top tong plate, so that guides, rollers
and gears can be properly cleaned.
C. LUBRICATION
Use a quality multipurpose bearing lubricant that will remain within its viscosity range at expected operating tempera-
tures. In addition, Farr recommends the following lubrication procedure at the completion of each job prior to storage.
1. CAGE PLATE SUPPORT RINGS

Remove backing pin from slot and place in a “neutral” position i.e. not engaged in either hole. Rotate the rotary gear
into the mouth opening as illustrated below. Apply grease to the top and bottom rotary gears grooves. Continue to
rotate the rotary gear and lubricate the grooves until the gear is well lubricated.
Apply grease to top & bottom

rotary gear grooves

3. ROTARY IDLERS
Apply grease to the rotary idler bearings through the grease fittings recessed into the top of each shaft on the top
face of the tong (two locations total).

4. PINION IDLERS
Apply grease to the pinion idler bearings through the grease fittings recessed into the tops of the half-shafts, located
on the bottom face of the tong.
TM
Best By FARR
5. PINION
Apply grease to the pinion bearings through the grease fittings located in the middle of the bearing caps on the top
and bottom faces of the tong (one location top, one location bottom).

6. CLUTCH
Apply grease to the clutch bearings through the two grease fittings located on the clutch bearing cap on the bottom
TM
face of the tong, and the single grease fitting recessed into the end of the clutch shaft. (three locations total).
Best By FARR
7. MOTOR MOUNT
Apply grease to the motor gear/clutch drive gear through the grease fitting located on the top of the motor mount
(one location only).

8. SHIFTING SHAFT
Apply grease to the shifting shaft and shifting yoke, which can be accessed through the cover plate on the side of
the tong.
TM
Best By FARR
Farr recommends that a liberal coating of grease be applied to the cam surface of the rotary drive gear prior to jaw instal-
lation. We also recommend that the door stop cylinder be periodically removed and disassembled, and the spring and and
inside of the cylinder be well greased.
D. ADJUSTMENTS
1. Brake Band Adjustments (See illustration next page)
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.
ADJUSTMENT BRAKEBAND
MECHANISM

2. DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Normal operation of the tong may cause wear of the door latch, which will cause the door to develop a loose fit at the
latch. A latch cam plate is located at the top face of the door. The cam plate has eight positioning holes located on
TM
a 360 degree bolt circle. The latch cam shaft extends down through the door and is secured at the top by a 3/8” hex
Best By FARR
head bolt. To make adjustments in door alignment, remove the 3/8” bolt and turn the cam with a wrench. When the
door has been adequately aligned, replace the 3/8” bolt.
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 GEARTRAIN WHEN OPERATING THE
TONG AT SPECIFIED TORQUE. A CLOSED DOOR ALSO ENSURES SAFETY OF
OPERATING PERSONNEL.

3. SHIFTER DETENT ADJUSTMENT (See Illustration Next Page):
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).

TM
Best By FARR
4. Tong Leveling
Periodic checks that the tong is hanging plumb and level are necessary to ensure accurate torque measurement.
See Section 2.F.2 for detailed instructions for leveling the tong.
E. 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 properly. Door stop spring fatigue will result in sluggish latch operation. Replace the latch spring inside the
cylinder when this occurs. Use caution when removing the spring, because it is under some compression within
the cylinder
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.
3. 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 recommends that the torque gauge assembly be calibrated yearly. See Section 7 for
load cell maintenance instructions

F. OVERHAUL PROCEDURES
Once the tong has been removed from frame assembly, it may be overhauled using the disassembly instructions specified
in the following procedure. Access to the gear train is possible by removal of the top plate of the tong.
TM
Best By FARR
ALL MAINTENANCE AND OVERHAUL SHOULD BE PERFORMED FROM THE
TOP. THEREFORE, THE BOTTOM PLATE OF THE TONG SHOULD NEVER BE
REMOVED FROM THE GEAR CASE HOUSING.
REMOVAL OF TOP PLATE:

1. Remove load cell assembly and load cell pins while tong is suspended (if equipped).
2. Place the tong on sturdy supports that will adequately support the full weight of the tong.
3. Support the rigid sling to remove weight from the rigid sling hanger pins. Remove one hitch pin from each of the
pins; remove both pins and the rigid sling assembly.
4. Disconnect the hydraulic connections from the motor. Undo the restraints securing the inlet and outlet lines from
their supports, and remove the three 1/2” x 4” hex bolts securing the valve assembly to the support post weldments.
Remove the safety door block (if equipped). Lift the hydraulic section away from the tong.
5. Remove the tong door stop cylinder.
6. Remove the safety door valve and valve guard assemblies (if equipped) from the top plate.
7. Remove the top and bottom hex nylock nuts and washers from the door pivot support roller. Support the door
weldment and gently tap the support roller shaft (a soft hammer and soft metal drive pin must be used so that the
threads on the shaft are not damaged) down through the door weldment and pivot roller assembly until the shaft
drops free. Remove the door assembly.
8. Remove the nylock nuts from the ends of the support roller shafts that are coincidental with the brakeband lug weld-
ments (four on top, four on bottom). Remove the brakeband retainers, then remove the top and bottom brakebands
and lug weldments - use caution not to lose the two brakeband retainers.
9. Remove the four hydraulic supports.
10. Remove the four 1/2” x 1” hex socket head cap screws securing the hydraulic motor to the motor mount, and remove
the motor and torque gauge mount. Inspect the splined motor gear for clashing or gear damage.
11. Remove the motor mount by removing the four 1/2” x 1-1/2” socket head cap screws. The motor mount can be lifted
out of place. The motor mount alignment dowels may become dislodged when the motor mount is removed - ensure
they are retained for reassembly.
12. Remove the inspection panel on the LH rear side of the tong. Disconnect the shifter shaft from the shifting fork by
removing the nuts securing it to the bottom of the shaft.
13. Disconnect the shifting handle from the shifting shaft by removing the hitch and clevis pin at the top of the shaft.
14. Remove the four 3/8” x 1” bolts and lockwashers securing the shifter pivot lug to the top plate, and remove the shifter
lug and handle weldment.
15. Loosen the locking nut on the shifter detent arm, and back off the tensioning bolt until all the force is removed from
the tensioning spring.
16. Simultaneously turn the shifting shaft while pulling up through the top shifter bushing. Use caution not to lose the
shifter detent ball from the top shifter bushing assembly when the shaft comes free.
17. Remove the jaw pivot bolts and the jaw assemblies.
18. Remove the 3/8” nylock nut connecting the backing pin to the rear cageplate bolt. Remove the backing pin and
retainer. Thread the nut and washer back on to the end of the rear cageplate bolt so they are not lost.

G. TONG MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
NOTE ON INSTALLATION PRACTICES: Ensure all bearings are liberally greased before installing over a shaft or
TM
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
Best By FARR
the assembly process, please refer to the relevant exploded diagrams in Section 6.
1. Position the tong body gear case on a suitable stationary support such that the bottom body plate is accessible.
2. Press deep groove ball bearing, PN 02-0007, into bottom pinion bearing cap, and install bearing cap into bottom
plate of tong with four 1/2” NC x 1-1/4” hex bolts and lockwashers.
3. Press deep groove ball bearing, PN 02-0004, into clutch bearing cap, and install bearing cap onto the bottom plate
of tong with four 3/8” NC x 1-1/4” hex bolts and lockwashers.
4. Install a manganese bronze support ring on the outside of the bottom plate using nine 5/8” x 1-1/2” shoulder bolts
and 1/2” NC nylock nuts.
5. Install two half-roller support assemblies into the bottom plate of the tong, at the rear of the opening just in front of
the low pinion gear, and loosely secure with 1” UNS thin nylock nuts and narrow flatwashers.

TONG MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES (continued...):
6. Place rotary gear onto bottom plate, over the hex nuts securing the guide ring, and rest the teeth on the half-roller
assemblies installed in step (5) (see following illustration). This will serve to centre the rotary gear in preparation for
TM
installation of the remainder of the support roller assemblies. Ensure the rotary gear is installed with the backing
Best By FARR pin grooves facing up.
7. Place two support roller assemblies, PN 101-2105, less the shafts and fasteners, near the front of the tong. The front
of the rotary gear will have to be lifted slightly to allow the “lip” of the dumbell roller to slide under the teeth of the
gear and align with the proper hole in the bottom plate. Once the support roller assembly is in place, slide a greased
support roller shaft, PN 1037-131, through the support roller assembly, and bottom plate. The shafts may have to be
lightly tapped with a soft metal instrument or drive. Continue to push the shafts down until they are protruding just
above the top of the roller bearing spacers.

8. Install the remainder of the support roller assemblies in the same fashion as the two installed in step (7), with the
TM
exception of the door pivot roller. Ensure the shafts are inserted all the way through the rollers so that only a small
amount protrudes above the roller bearing spacers.

Troubleshooting KT-10750 Tong
Adequate maintenance and proper fluid selection should keep hydraulic problems to a minimum. If troubleshooting is necessary,
ensure that the technician is well-trained in hydraulic systems, and familiar with the equipment design, assembly and operation.
Knowledge of hydraulic circuits and components is essential in isolating trouble areas and pinpointing particular faults.
TM
Best By FARR The following troubleshooting guidelines are intended to be general in nature. Any faults not solved through the use of this guide
should be referred to our engineering department for their evaluation and recommendations.
A. POWER UNIT PUMP MAKES EXCESSIVE NOISE
1. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Plugged or restricted intake line.

SOLUTION: Clean intake line.
2. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Plugged reservoir air vent.

SOLUTION: Clean or replace.
3. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Fluid viscosity too high due to low ambient temperature.
SOLUTION: Replace fluid with a type that maintains the proper viscosity range in the operating environment.
4. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Air leaking into system.

SOLUTION: Ensure oil pickup is well below oil surface level in reservoir. Check pump packing and line connections
on intake side by pouring oil over the suspected leak. If the noise stops, the leak has been located. Tighten joints or
change packing or gaskets where necessary.
5. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Loose or worn parts.

SOLUTION: Replace parts. NOTE: Improper selection of hydraulic fluid may result in premature wear.
6. POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Pump misalignment with motor.

A. TROUBLESHOOTING

Under normal operating conditions, and with proper maintenance, the torque gauge and load cell system are designed to
TM
give lasting trouble-free performance. Faulty indication on the gauge will very often define a fault within the gauge.
Best By FARR
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. PROBLEM: No indication on gauge.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: Obstruction in hose.
Loss of hydraulic fluid.
Gauge internal mechanism damaged.
2. PROBLEM: Gauge indication too high.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: Excessive hydraulic fluid.
Internal mechanism of gauge is damaged.
3. PROBLEM: Gauge indication too low.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: Insufficient hydraulic fluid.
Snub line not at right-angle to tong handle.
4. PROBLEM: Erratic or sluggish gauge indication.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: Pointer rubbing glass or dial.
Insufficient hydraulic fluid.
Dirty gauge movement.
Improper pointer damper adjustment.

B. PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

1. Inspection
TM
Tong Torque Systems are built to give years of trouble-free service with minimum maintenance. Periodic inspections
Best By FARR of the load cell, and hydraulic lines and fittings, are recommended in order to keep the system in top operating condi-
tion. A thorough inspection should be made at each rig-up.
2. Fluid Recharge
Recharge hydraulic system with W15/16 fluid via the filling connection at the top of the indicating gauge. Recharging
must only be performed when there is no load on the load cell:
a. Connect hand pump to filling connection on gauge.
b. Fill hand pump bowl with W15/16 hydraulic fluid and pump fluid into the system until the piston rod on the load
cell extends no more than 1/2” from the body.
c. Loosen vent screw on load cell body to permit trapped air to escape during loading.
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
d. Retighten load cell vent screw when the system has been adequately recharged
3. Repair And Calibration
Load cell and indicator gauge should be returned to authorized repair facility for any repairs or calibration required.

Appendix One: Power Tong Daily Maintenance Checklist KT-10750 Tong
Daily Inspection & Maintenance Checklist (power tong)
Farr Canada 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.
TM
1.
Best By FARR Rotate cageplate/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 Canada recommends that all
hydraulic lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure
! is bled off. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environ-
mental contamination 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 the valve and motor.
2.
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 technicican, and that adequate personal protective

equipment 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
3. containment 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 geartrain through the access panel and the opening of the
5. rotary 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
6. & outlet line supports, tong legs, shifter handle pivot lugs). Tighten or replace loose or missing fasteners. Farr
Canada recommends that damaged or missing body parts br 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 in place, replace the entire jaw assembly. Ensure dies are secure in the jaw - replace worn dies if
7. 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
8. metal, etc. replace damaged part(s) before placing tong in service. Also inspect all chains, master links, and turn-
buckles - 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
9. paint is a good indication of wear.
10. Inspect backing pin(s). If cracked, broken, or bent it (they) must be replaced.

13. tigued, or have 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
15. hydraulic 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
16. pressure is less than 350 psi.
Perform a visual inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines. Document and correct any hydraulic fluid
17. leaks.
Perform a full functional test of the tong. Report and correct any hydraulic leaks from the hydraulic valve
18. bank, or from 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
19. distorted 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
20. or metal 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
21. from service until the weld 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 cageplate at low
speed (low gear) in both directions (makeup and breakout). If cageplate begins rotating, the safety door
22. mechanism is not functional, and the tong must be removed from service until the safety door mechanism
can be repaired. If the safety door is operating correctly, cageplate rotation will not be inhibited once the
door is closed and latched.

Appendix Two: Power Tong Monthly Maintenance Checklist KT-10750 Tong
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
TM
equipment is routinely subjected to, and the field conditions under which your equipment operates. Farr Canada recommends
Best By FARR that the following inspection and maintenance procedures be performed monthly, or in conjuction with your maintenance fore-
man’s experience and best estimate of when your equipment is due for this maintenance.
1. Rotate cageplate/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 Canada recommends that all
hydraulic lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure
! is bled off. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent environ-
mental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid.
Depressurize Hydraulic System In Preparation For Maintenance:

i) Ensure tong and backup doors (if equipped) are closed. Fully extend the lift cylinder
ii) De-energize the power unit.
iii) Repeatedly actuate the tong motor control valve lever IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual
pressure in the valve and motor.
2. iv) Remove the hydraulic SUPPLY line from the equipment.
v) Repeatedly actuate the remaining control valve levers IN BOTH DIRECTIONS to dissipate any residual
pressure in the remainder of the hydraulic control system.
vi) Disconnect the hydraulic RETURN line from the equipment.
vii) Disconnect remaining hoses such as case drains, or lines connected to the turns counter - disconnection
of hydraulic lines that do not run to the power unit (eg. tong-to-backup lines, safety door lines, etc.) is not
required.
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
Clean the exterior of the tool thoroughly, using either water (if using a pressure washer ensure a low-pressure
wash wand is used), or an appropriate solvent-based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate
3. 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 envi-
5. ronmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents. Make a note if any metal
shavings or metal pieces are flushed out of the geartrain 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
6. only unless 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,
7. safety door protectors, etc.
Perform a visual inspection of all fasteners and protruding body pieces (example: hydraulic valve mounts, inlet
8. & outlet line supports, tong legs, shifter handle pivot lugs). Tighten or replace loose or missing fasteners. Farr
Canada 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
9. paint is a good indication of wear.

KT-10750 Tong Appendix Two: Power Tong Monthly Maintenance Checklist
Inspect all paint - locations in which the paint has been damaged must be repaired prior to the tong be-
ing returned to service. Prepare areas to be painted to ensure they are free of grease, dirt, or solvent.
10. Touch up using a solvent-based acrylic paint - “Farr Canada Blue” is paint number RAL5005 (contact Farr
Canada sales for paint number for custom paint applications). Allow sufficient time for paint to dry before
TM
proceeding.
Best By FARR
Inspect all external welds. Any weld that is cracked or separating must be repaired and repainted before
11. returning the 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, mas-
ter links, and turnbuckles - again, if any damage is noted replace the damaged part(s) before placing
12. the tong in service. Refer to Section 2A of 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 Canada.
“Short” turnbuckles having part number 101-3086 employ high-
! strength pins which must be supplied by Farr Canada.
Rotate the geartrain by hand, and use a flashlight to perform a visual inspection of the geartrain through
the access panel and the opening of the rotary gear while the geartrain is being rotated. If gear damage
13. or chips of metal are seen, the tong should be removed from service and overhauled to avoid further dam-
age. 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 dam-
age - replace pins if necessary. If the pins are welded in place, remove and quarantine the jaw until the
14. weld is repaired. Ensure dies are secure in the jaw - replace worn dies if necessary. Ensure that the jaw
rollers rotate freely.
Inspect top and bottom brakeband linings - replace if necessary. Unequal wear of the brakebands indi-
16. cates that the brakeband tension is not evenly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual
for instructions on properly adjusting brakebands.
Inspect door springs. Ensure the springs retain sufficient strength to be able to assist the opening of the
17. door, and to 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
18. over-extended and lack sufficient tension to adequately support the backup. Ensure that neither of the
front leg springs have been over-compressed, 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.
19. Farr Canada recommends that damaged cylinders be replaced prior to storage.
Perform a visual inspection of all hydraulic lines. Replace flexible lines if they appear to be cracked,
20. fatigued, or have 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 geartrain housing with grease through the access panel, and also through the opening
21. in the rotary gear. Perform a full lubrication - refer to Maintenance section of manual to determine lubrica-
tion points. A Division Of McCoy Corporation
Ensure main supply and return connections to the tong are fully made up. Re-connect the remainder of the
22. hydraulic 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.
Ensure that supply pressure is at or above the tong’s specified operating pressure, and that the return
23. pressure is less than 350 psi.

Appendix Two: Power Tong Monthly Maintenance Checklist KT-10750 Tong
Perform a visual inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines. If any hydraulic fittings or hoses are leaking they
24. must be repaired or replaced before proceeding.
Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another minute, ending with the
TM
25. opening of the rotary gear facing the geartrain. De-energize the power unit, and perform another generous
Best By FARR lubrication of the geartrain, including the gear housing.
Energize power unit. Rotate tong for one minute, stop, and reverse the direction of rotation for another
26. minute, ending with the opening of the rotary gear facing the geartrain.
De-energize the power unit, and perform a third generous lubrication of the geartrain, including the gear
27. housing.
Re-energize power unit and extend all hydraulic cylinders. Inspect cylinder rods for signs of mechanical
28. damage, flaking, or rust. Farr Canada recommends that damaged cylinders be replaced.
Rotate tong in low gear for 5 minutes while monitoring pressurized seals and hydraulic lines. If a seal,
29. line, or fitting 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 are hot to the touch (higher than approximately 50oC) replace the applicable bearings.
30. 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,
31. or distorted components including links and chains. If using a compression load cell, replace any compo-
nent 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
32. or metal 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
33. from service until the weld 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.
Inspect load cell for damage or signs of stress. Check oil level in load cell and fill if necessary (refer to
34. technical manual Section 7 or Section 8).
While rotating the cageplate, ensure that the jaws properly cam. If the jaws do not cam properly, the
brakebands need to be tightened. Incremently adjust both the top and bottom brakebands EQUALLY until
35. proper cam action is achieved. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on properly
adjusting brakebands.
Perform a full functional test of the tong including, if applicable, backup components, lift cylinder, and float
36. frame components. 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 operaing
37. correctly and the tong must be removed from service until the mechanism is repaired. Repeat the test
while operating the tong in the opposite direction. If the safety door is operating correctly, cageplate rota-
tion will not be inhibited once the door is closed and latched.
Never operate your equipment with a bypassed or malfunctioning

! safety door
Farr Canada recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied to all external
38. unpainted surfaces (and 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.

Appendix Three: Power Unit Daily Maintenance Checklist KT-10750 Tong
daily Inspection & Maintenance Checklist (power unit)
Farr Canada 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 mai-
TM
nentance, especially lubrication, is essential in order to ensure that your equipment always meets specifications, and to prevent
Best By FARR 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 electrical supply is locked out, or, if using a diesel power supply, ensure that the engine is locked out or the starting
mechanisn 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
4. shut-off switch is actuated.
Electric Only
Visually inspect all electrical lines and visible connections. If your unit is NOT explosion proof, open the
1. electrical enclosure 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 level is approximately half-way up the sight glass on the hydraulic
6. fluid reservoir.
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
9. is visibly 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
11. gauge is in the red zone, the filter should be changed the next time the unit is shut down

TUBULAR CONNECTION EQUIPMENT De-commissioning procedure
Perform the following decommisioning 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 environ-
mental attack, and to aid in the quick turnaround when returning the equipment to service.
TM
Best By FARR 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 Canada
recommends that all hydraulic lines are fully disconnected, and residual hydraulic pressure is bled off. Ensure adequate con-
tainment 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 geartrain (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
remainder of the hydraulic control system.
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 technicican, and that adequate personal protec-

tive equipment is used to guard aginst pressure injuries
Perform an initial wash of the tool in order to remove the majority of dirt and grease build-up. Ensure adequate
1. containment 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 envi-
3. ronmental contamination from residual hydraulic fluid, dirty grease, and cleaning agents. Make a note if any metal
shavings or metal pieces are flushed out of the geartrain 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
4. solvent-based grease-cutting cleaner such as Varsol. Ensure adequate containment is in place to prevent envi-
ronmental contamination 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
5.
all external fasteners to SAE specifications.
Repair or replace any damaged or missing external body parts, such as torque gauge mounts, hydraulic supports,
7. safety door protectors, etc.
Inspect all paint - locations in which the paint has been damaged must be repaired prior to storage. Prepare areas
8. to be painted to ensure they are free of grease, dirt, or solvent. Touch up using a solvent-based acrylic paint - “Farr
Canada 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
9. points. Generously fill the geartrain 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
10. from 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
12. of the rotary gear facing the geartrain. De-energize the power unit, and perform another generous lubrication of
the geartrain, including the gear housing.

Best By FARR
Energize power unit, and rotate the tong for a final time, one minute in one direction, stop, and reverse the direc-
15. tion of 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
16. Canada recommends 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 protective cloth to protect the paint on the backup. Place two wooden beams across the top of the
tong, ensuring that the beams have a minimum size of 4” x 4” x the width of the tong. Cover the tops of the wooden
17. 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, brakebands, 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 pos-
sible.
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 equip-
ment 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
19. 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 Canada recommends that chain slings be removed and stored separately. Rigid slings and other rigid sus-
20. pension devices may remain in place.
21. Apply grease or heavy oil to all exposed cylinder rods.
Farr Canada recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl® 506 be applied to all external surfaces
22. EXCEPT cylinder 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
23. temperature.
Wrap entire assembly in 100 gauge (1 mil) corrosion-inhibiting wrap, at least 3 layers thick. Attempt to ensure that
24. the tool is well-sealed within the wrapping, including the bottom.

Appendix Four: Power Tong Decommissioning Checklist KT-10750 Tong
If possible, store in a sealed, climate controlled environment. If isolated storage is not available, Farr Canada 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.
TM
Calculation Of Required Desiccant

Best By FARR
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
manufacturers 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 storage environment. Farr Canada recommends that for equipment stored in a salt-water maritime or exposed dusty environ-
ment, repeat steps 9 through 24 monthly. For equipment stored in isolated storage in a non-maritime environment, repeat steps
9 through 24 quarterly. Replace desiccant packs at this time - depleted desiccant packs may be treated as regular dunnage.

TUBULAR CONNECTION EQUIPMENT Re-commissioning procedure
Perform the following re-commisioning procedures when removing tubular connection equipment from short or long-term stor-
age back into regular service. These procedures are essential for ensuring proper equipment preparation and operation. The
TM
following procedures also assume that the decommissioning and storage procedures recommended by Farr Canada have
Best By FARR been strictly observed.
Remove all protective plastic wrapping. If there are desiccant packs with the assembly, they may be disposed of
1. with the regular garbage.
3. Wipe excess grease or heavy oil from exposed cylinder rods.
If applicable, re-connect chain sling to lifing 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 ser-
4. vice. 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. 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
5. points. Generously fill the geartrain 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
6. from excessive back pressure. Do not neglect to connect the motor drain.
Failure to ensure that the self-sealing supply and return lines are fully
! made up may result in catastrophic equipment failure.
7. Energize power unit.
Ensure that supply pressure is at or above the tong’s specified operating pressure, and that the return pressure
8. is less than 350 psi.
Perform a thorough inspection of pressurized hydraulic lines and fittings. Any leaking hydraulic fluid lines or fittings
9. must 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
10. equipment is returned to service.
Rotate tong in low gear for 5 minutes while monitoring pressurized seals and hydraulic lines. If a seal, line, or
11. fitting begins 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 geartrain. De-energize the power unit.
Inspect all flexible hydraulic lines for signs of wear, blistering, or any other signs of potential failure - replace if
12. signs of potential failure are identified.
Inspect the geartrain housing. If the amount of grease is inadequate, liberally grease the geartrain through the
13. access panel, and through the opening in the rotary gear.
Inspect top and bottom brakeband linings - replace if necessary. Unequal wear of the brakebands indicates that
the brakeband tension is not evenly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section of the manual for instructions on
14. properly adjusting brakebands. Ensure that all grease is wiped from brakeband linings and the parts of the cage-
plates that come into contact with the brakeband linings
Re-install access panel. Install a set of pre-inspected jaws that are the correct size for the pipe or casing being
15. run.
Install load cell. If using a tension load cell, perform a visual inspection and replace any cracked, broken, or dis-
16. torted 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
17. distortion is seen.
If applicable, the weld securing the single load cell anchor to the bridge bar main plate must be inspected (com-
pression load cell only). If the integrity of the weld has been compromised, the tong must be removed from service
18. until the weld 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.
19. Re-energize power unit.

If using a frame-mounted tong and backup system, raise the tong off the beams that it is resting upon. Remove
Best By FARR
21. the beams and protective cloths - inspect the paint on top of the backup and the bottom of the tong to ensure it
has not been damaged by the beam.
Test safety door feature (if equipped). Open the tong door(s), and attempt to rotate the cageplate at low speed
(low gear) in both directions (makeup and breakout). If cageplate begins rotating, the safety door mechanism is
22. not functional, and the tong must be removed from service until the safety door mechanism can be repaired. If
the safety door is operating correctly, cageplate rotation will not be inhibited once the door is closed and latched.
