PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. MAINTENANCE
A. Tong Torque Systems are built to give years of trouble-free service with minimum
maintenance. Periodic inspections of the load cell, and hydraulic lines and fittings, are
recommended in order to keep the system in top operating condition. A thorough inspec-
tion should be made at each rig-up.
B. 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.
Procedure:
1. Connect hand pump to filling connection on gauge.
2. 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.
3. 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
*
4. Retighten load cell vent screw when the system has been adequately recharged
C. Load cell and indicator gauge should be returned to authorized repair facility for any
repairs or calibration required.
