Safe Practices and Procedures Responsibility "It is the responsibility of the employer to train the employee in the proper selection and usage of tools, chains, etc., and to ensure that they are selected and used in that manner. In many instances, injury results because it is assumed that anybody knows how to use common hand tools. Observations and the record show that this is not the case.
Safety Goggles must always be worn by persons in any area where hand and powered tools are being used. Never apply excess leverage to a wrench or tool by means of a "Cheater Bar". Never strike wrenches and tools with hammers or other objects. All tools should be kept clean, inspected on a regular basis, and replaced when they show signs of wear. Be especially careful not to place yourself in a position that could result in bodily injury in the event of a failure.
Responsibility of Distributors IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASERS OF GEARENCH PRODUCTS TO CONVEY THE INFORMATION IN THIS PUBLICATION AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT, THROUGH THE CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION, DOWN TO AND INCLUDING THE INDIVIDUAL USING THE PRODUCT NOTE: In view of the fact that the actual use determines whether safety requirements have been met, the ultimate responsibility to comply rests with the end user. Safety Precautions 1.
Operation The operating controls of the PETOL™ Tong Jack are shown in the figure below. The pressure gauge is used to monitor and adjust the operating pressure. The pressure to force conversion chart is used to determine the actual force in pounds being applied to the tong. The air connection supplies the compressed air to the unit. The pressure control regulates the output pressure and adjusts the force produced. Turning the knob clockwise increases the pressure.
Pressure to Force Conversion Chart The chart below is in “force”. Torque is typically measured in foot-pounds. In order to calculate the torque, the length from the load pin to the pipe center must be known in inches.
Making-Up a Connection Place the tool into a suitable vise with the connection as close to the vise as possible. Make up the tool by hand as tight as possible. Place the tong as close to the connection as possible. Move the Tong Jack into position and connect the tong to the Tong Jack. Connect the air supply to the Tong Jack. Lower the arm as far as possible. With the arm fully lowered, adjust the pressure control to provide the required torque.
