Technical Manual
The Farr Hydraulic Power Tong has been designed such that assembly is simple and can be accomplished without the
use of special tools. The following sequence is presented as a guide only for the technician performing assembly as
it would take place in our plant. Much emphasis has been placed on disassembly and reassembly in the maintenance
and overhaul section of this manual. Therefore, use this assembly section only to aid in familiarization of parts and
their locations, and use the overhaul and maintenance section as a specific guide to assembly.
