1 SAFETY
1.1 RISK INVOLVED WHEN OPERATING THE HYDRAULIC TUBING TONG
The Hydraulic Tubing Tong is equipped with protective devices and has undergone a safety check
and certification before shipment. Incorrect operation or misuse threaten ...
… the life and limb of the operator and the surrounding personnel
The operating authority of this unit must ensure, that all persons having to do with installation,
commissioning, operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and servicing of the unit must …
… follow this operating manual thoroughly. It is recommended to the operating authority, that
all persons having read the operating manual confirm the knowledge with their signature.
The WEATHERFORD 'Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model 7.6 - 15/30' is designed exclusively for
making up and breaking out joints of tubing ranging from 2-3/8 to 7 5/8-inch in diameter. Tong
Model TT 7.6 - 15 is capable to generating torque up to 15 000 ft-lb in either makeup or breakout
mode and Tong Model TT 7.6 – 30 is capable to generating torque up to 30 000 ft-lb in either
makeup or breakout mode. The tubing tong can be used either with or without free-floating backup.
Secure the tong always with a backup line (refer to Section 2.2.3).
Using the tong for purposes other than expressly mentioned above (such as for running drill pipes,
casing or eccentric tools) is considered contrary to its designated use and is therefore prohibited.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such use. The risk of such
misuse lies entirely with the user.
Never make any modifications, additions, or conversions without the manufacturer’s written ap-
proval. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices.
Operating the machine within the limits of its designated use also involves observing the instruc-
tions set out in the operating manual and complying with the inspection and maintenance direc-
tives.
Operating the machine outside the limits of its designated use or with unau-
thorized conversions can lead to death, severe injury and/or material dam-
age.
When used in a potentially explosive atmosphere the user has to ensure the following:
Use this product in its original configuration without undertaking any modifications. The ex-
plosion proof certificates will become invalid, if modifications are made by the user.
NEVER undertake any repair or maintenance work where a potentially explosive atmos-
Impacts involving rust and light metals (e.g. aluminum) can form sparks. Prevent aluminum
parts of the power unit from objects falling onto or hitting it.
The operating authority must ensure to operate the unit only in unobjectionable state. Consider the
above and follow these directives:
The operator of the unit is responsible for all tong operations at the rig site.
Leaks in the hydraulic system may cause injuries. If a leak occurs, suspend operation and
repair immediately.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Prior to service, maintenance, repair or conversion work, the sources of hydraulic and elec-
tric power must be disabled and disconnected from the tong. Even if the unit is de-energized,
the hydraulic system may remains under pressure. Depressurize the system before any ser-
vice and maintenance work in these areas.
NEVER make any modifications, additions, or conversions without the manufacturer’s written
approval. In particular, no welding or torch cutting of pressure-containing components is al-
lowed. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices. For safety rea-
sons, unauthorized conversions to the unit are expressly forbidden.
Damaged or missing warning information or labeling on the unit must be replaced immedi-
ately.
All other personnel must stay clear of the working range of the tong.
Failure to observe this safety precaution can cause severe injury or death.
Danger zones must clearly be declared and protected by barriers and/or labeled with warn-
ing signs to prevent unauthorized entering.
Missing or unreadable warning labels at the unit or its surrounding area must be replaced
immediately.
During remote controlled operation no person must enter the danger zone.
Only objects, which are essential to the operation of the unit are allowed to be placed inside
the danger zone.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
The following warning signs are used on the Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model 7.6 - 15/30:
… all involved personnel have read and understand the contents of this manual, in particular
the chapter on safety, before beginning work.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Hardhat to protect the head against falling parts and overhead equipment.
Safety gloves to protect the hands against aggressive grease, lubricants and mud.
The Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model 7.6 - 15/30 must hang from a WEATHERFORD Lift Cylin-
der during operation (see Fig. 1.4).
Installation or dismantling of this unit may only be carried out under supervision of a
WEATHERFORD employee or by WEATHERFORD trained staff, as otherwise there is a risk
of injury and permanent damage to the unit. The consequence would be expensive repairs,
replacement of components or expiration of warranty claims.
The unit must only be used if it has been set up in accordance with regulations and in con-
formity with the manual.
DO NOT work on or tamper with hydraulic connections when the unit is in operation. Even if
the unit is de-energized, the hydraulic system may remains under pressure. Before starting
such work depressurize the system and take appropriate measures to secure all electrical
switches and drive mechanisms against unintentional activation.
All lifting equipment for the installation must have a minimum lifting capacity of 4 500 kg.
The weight of the tong with backup is approx. 1 500 kg. For safety reasons
the lifting capacity is multiplied by a safety factor of 3.
A lower safety margin is up to the responsibility of the operating authority.
Ensure that no other rig equipment is rested in the operating area of the tong.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
The tong is equipped with a Safety Interlock System on the tong door. Opening the tong
door blocks the tong motor function immediately. Thus the Safety Interlock System prevents
tong operation while the tong door is open (see Fig.1.5).
This disabling function does not apply to any positioning device attached to
the tong (e.g. PowerScope or PowerMaster).
The door is equipped with a safety catch to prevent clamping of fingers while opening the
door.
During makeup or breakout operation, the clamping pressure of the backup is always moni-
tored by a pressure control valve (see Fig. 1.6 current version or Fig. 1.7 previous version). If
the clamping pressure of the backup should drop below a certain set value, the operation
sequence will be terminated to protect personnel and prevent pipe damage. In such cases a
visual control of the backup pressure is required. Suspend operation and evaluate the cause
of backup pressure loss (see Section 6 for troubleshooting).
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
No unusual regulations need to be followed for transporting the tong. All tong components must be
lifted to the rig floor by crane or equivalent device by attaching to the provided lifting points (see
Fig. 2.1). All lifting equipment must have a minimum lifting capacity of 4 500 kg.
The weight of the tong with backup is approx. 1 500 kg. For safety reasons
the lifting capacity is multiplied by a safety factor of 3.
A lower safety margin is up to the responsibility of the operating authority.
It is strongly recommended to secure the tong in a transport cradle for the transfer to the rig site.
Transport cradles are available from Weatherford on request. Tighten the securing nuts on both
torque tubes and install the rear support leg and the two front support legs for transportation. For
operation the two securing nuts must be loosened two turns and the support legs must be re-
moved.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
1 The suspension line for the tong must be at least a 5/8-inch diameter steel cable.
1 Always use the WEATHERFORD lift cylinder for tong suspension (see Fig. 2.2).
1 Select the suspension point high enough in the derrick to ensure easy handling and as close
as feasible to the center of the rotary gear. Allow for the hanger offset from the center of the
tong opening. The line must be securely anchored at the rig frame.
1 Hang the tong at approx. the same height as the average joint.
1 The Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model TT 7.6 - 15/30 must hang from a WEATHERFORD Lift
Cylinder during operation (refer to Section 2.1.1).
All lifting gear must have a minimum lifting capacity of 4 500 kg.
Ensure that all lifting equipment is in proper working condition.
1 Check the horizontal balance of the tong system while at the well center. For proper opera-
tion the tong must be as horizontal as possible when gripping the tubing. The balance can
be readjusted with two adjustment screws at each side of the base points of the hanger (see
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Fig. 2.3).
1 Make sure the correct jaws are installed (refer to Section 2.3) and the tong door is closed.
1 Loosen the screws and adjust tong position horizontally. Then tighten the screws. Make sure
both screws are in contact with the hanger strut.
1 For side-to-side leveling, move the clevis in the notched insert at the top of the hanger to the
required position.
The tong can be operated with a variable or fixed displacement hydraulic power unit. Depending
on the used hydraulic motor version the tong’s hydraulic system requires the following (see Fig.
2.4):
• Pressure Line 1-inch quick-disconnect coupling, female
Lift Cylinder
(connector posi-
tions depend on
used motor version)

Hydraulic oil is under pressure! Splashing hydraulic oil can result in injuries.
Switch off the power unit and decompress the lines before connecting or
disconnecting the hydraulic lines!
At other operating oil temperatures use oil of the appropriate viscosity range
to ensure the needed viscosity of 32 centistokes (ISO-32), i.e. during winter-
time use winter oil with lower viscosity range.
In case of doubt contact the WEATHERFORD technical support.
1 Connect the two backup hoses to the tong valve (only if backup is used otherwise install the
backup line according to Section 2.3).
1 Connect the two main hydraulic hoses from power unit to the power tong.
1 Start the hydraulic power unit. The tong is now ready for operation.
1 Use a steel cable of at least 5/8" diameter as backup line (see Fig. 2.5).
1 Connect backup line to a torque gauge to restrain tong rotation and to provide torque read-
ings for operation (tong arm length = 36-inch / 914mm).
1 If no torque gauge is used or if a backup with load cell / torque gauge application is installed,
connect the backup line directly to the backup line bracket.
1 Secure the other end of the backup line to a solid part of the rig structure at a 90° angle with
the tong centerline (see Fig. 2.5). Deviation from the 90° angle introduces torque measure-
ment errors.
1 Fig. 2.5 shows backup line configuration for makeup. For breakout, swing the backup line by
180° and secure it to a solid part on the opposite side of the rig structure in the same way as
for makeup.
If you need support or additional information, please contact the Weatherford technical department.
1 Fix the lifting equipment to the lifting points of the tong for installation (see Section 2.1).
All lifting gear must have a minimum lifting capacity of 4 500 kg.
Ensure that all lifting equipment is in proper working condition.
Keep all other personnel away from the control valves of the positioning de-
vice to prevent accidental movements.
1 Ensure that the correct jaws are installed (see also Section 2.3 'Jaw Installation')
1 Connect the main hydraulic hoses from power unit to the power tong (see Section 2.2.2).
1 Connect the lift cylinder hoses to the tong valve (see Section 2.2.2).
1 Connect the backup hoses to the tong valve (see Section 2.2.2).
1 Loosen the nut at the torque post on each side of the backup (if backup is used).
1 Check the horizontal balance of the tong system at the well center. If necessary, adjust the
position according to Section 2.2.1.
1 Make sure valve handles are in neutral position. Start the hydraulic power unit.
1 The 7.6 – 15/30 Tubing Tong is now ready for operation. Proceed as described in Section 4.
To adapt the clamping elements according to the different pipe diameter it is necessary to combine
the clamping elements in the correct way.
• Standard Jaws for normal tubing. Combination possibilities of these clamping elements are
listed in table 2.1.
• Micro-Grip Jaws for adverse conditions like premium connections with chrome tubing.
Combination possibilities of these clamping elements are listed in table 2.2. This type of jaws
eliminates the use of the previous delivered ‘non-marking jaws’, which are obsolete and not
available any longer. Non-marking jaws are listed in Section 8.1.1.3 for reference purposes
only for costumers who still own them.
• Diamond Grip Jaws offers ultra-fine non-marking grip technology with diamond-coated jaw
surfaces. Combination possibilities of these clamping elements are listed in table 2.3.
The installation procedure is described in Section 2.3.2 (for tong installation) and Section 2.3.3 (for
backup installation).
The jaws of some particular sizes can be used in the tong as well in the backup (take care of the
caution notes). Attention must be paid for the right and left side markings (e.g. 4“ R = right side, 4-
inch pipe diameter). Sides are determined by looking at the tong/backup from the front opening.
DO NOT mix up right and left side jaws and jaws for different diameters.
Jaw size requirements vary according to the size of pipe to be gripped. Standard jaw sizes avail-
able are listed in Table 2.1.

3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 POWER TONG
The Weatherford Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model TT 7.6 - 15/30 is a hydraulic motor-driven tong ca-
pable of running tubing from 2 3/8 to 7 5/8 inch in diameter. The tong TT 7.6 – 15 can produce up
to 15 000 ft-lb in low gear, forward or reverse operation and the tong TT 7.6 – 30 can produce up to
30 000 ft-lb in low gear, forward or reverse operation. Optional the 7.6 free-floating backup can be
adapted.
The tong design includes a clamping system inside the rotor unit to provide secure tubing grip with
maximum gripping forces and protection for the operator under high load conditions. This unique
gripping concept also uses a load-bearing hook-type segment to absorb radial forces developed
during make-up and breakout operations. The case body and rollers provide axial and radial sup-
port for the rotary, which guides the cage plates through bronze slides around the circumference
instead of using common cam followers.
The optional backup underneath the tong restrains the tong from moving around the tubing when
torque is applied. The torque reaction between the tong and the backup is achieved via two vertical
torque tubes, reacting the torque as a couple. Torque load is then initiated into the load cell / torque
gauge application located on the operator’s side of the tong. This type of reaction system elimi-
nates shear and bending loads across the tool joint, thereby subjecting the joint only to torsion
loads.
During operation the tong is secured with a backup line to compensate the torque and to restrain
tong rotation. If the tong is operated without backup, the backup line must include a torque cylinder
(refer to Section 2.2.3) must to provide torque readings.
The tong with backup (if used) is suspended through the hanger by the lift cylinder, controlled by
the operator, to give accurate vertical positional control on the tool joint.
Legs beneath the tong allow the whole system to be set down on the floor.

1 Hydraulic Motor with Powerful main hydraulic motor with gear to drive the rotor clockwise or
Gear counterclockwise in two different speeds. Motor version depending on
costumer request.
2 Tong Case Body Houses the rotary gear and guides the rotor with its mechanical
clamping system.
3 Load Cell with Optional application if used with backup, not included if used with A-
Compression Link Q-TORK System or without backup. Tension type load cell to measure
the torque reaction between the tong and the backup during makeup
(if the load cell is mounted on the right side) or during breakout (if the
load cell is mounted on the left side). The compression link must al-
ways be installed on the opposite side of the load cell. Take care of
the different tong arm lengths (36-inch with and without backup).
6 Tong Door Manually activated tong door with safety interlock valve, which detects
whether the tong door is properly closed during operation. If the tong
door is open, it prevents further operation.
7 Tong hand grip Totally three (3) green colored handgrips for easy positioning of the
tong while hanging. Do not grip elsewhere.
8 Door Snap-On Door snap-on with two spring assemblies for secure door closing and
locking during operation.
9 Support Legs Totally three support legs (two front, one rear) for secure resting of the
tong with backup during transport and with adjustment holes for differ-
ent backup mounting heights.
12 Lift Cylinder Optional lift cylinder assembly for raising and lowering of the tong. If
the tong is ordered with lift cylinder, the tong contains an additional
manual valve handle for controlling the lift cylinder.
The tong incorporates a two-stage gear-type, hydraulic motor providing drive power through a
power train. Four different motor versions are available on request. The heart of the tong is a jaw-
closing system, which moves the jaws towards the tubing and rotates them by means of a cam-
type rotary gear. The rotary gear is driven by a cluster of gears, two idlers and one driver housed in
the main body of the tong. These gears in turn are driven through a gearbox located under the hy-
draulic motor. The gear drive incorporates high and low gear. It can be shifted via a handle.
The throttle handle (make / break) controls the throttle valve for the unit. Pushing the handle ap-
plies pressure to drive the motor forward (for makeup operation) and pulling the handle applies
pressure in a reverse direction (for breakout operation). While the handle is in a neutral position,
fluid circulates freely through the valve and back to the return line.
To prevent cross-connection of the hoses, the pressure hose is designed to mate with a 1-inch
connector and the return with a 1 1/4-inch connector. If the hydraulic motor type ‘DINAMIC / Piston’
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
is used an additional 3/4-inch hose must be connected to drain the leakage oil.
Closure and rotation of the pipe-gripping jaws is accomplished by a large rotary gear. Mechanical
power is transmitted from the hydraulic motor to turn the rotary gear in either direction.
A schematic sketch of the complete tong gear train is shown in Figure 3.3. The gear train consists
of a hydraulic motor mounted on a shiftable two-stage gearbox in a separate housing mounted on
the tong top plate. The hydraulic motor drives a pinion directly through the high (1:1) or low (1:4.3)
ratio of the gearbox. Through a cluster and an intermediate gear the input pinion drives a pair of ro-
tary idlers, which in turn drive the rotary gear.
Shifting from high to low gear ratios is accomplished by lowering the gearshift handle.
The Model TT 7.6 - 15/30 tong uses a two-jaw system. Each jaw is pivotally attached to a jaw
lever. The jaw lever in turn is itself pivotally attached to the end of a C-shaped hook section. An ex-
tension of the jaw lever carries a cam roller. In this system the hook jaw and the jaw lever are
structurally mounted independent of the rotary.
Chucking wedges (cams) are attached to the inner surface of the rotary. These cams are offset,
i.e. installed at different elevations, thus permitting operation without interference between the jaw
rollers.
During operation, a braking action retards the movement of this hook jaw system. The resulting
relative movement brings a shallow-angle cam surface in contact with a tension lever jaw roller,
positioning one of the jaws. This jaw is moved into a fixed position against the hook. With no further
movement possible, this jaw becomes the reactive jaw. A slight additional rotation cams the sec-
ond jaw (power jaw) into engagement with the pipe.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
During this process, the hook has not rotated. The jaws have been brought into contact with the
pipe only with minimal rotation, thus preventing scarring of the pipe. With both jaws engaged, the
system becomes self-centering. The hook serves 2 purposes. On the one hand, the rotation has
moved the hook to close the rotary opening, thus preventing “pipe kick-off”. On the other hand, the
hook bears the normal component of the chordal vectors (which would otherwise attempt to spread
the rotary).
1. Rotary Opening
Makeup Breakout
The standard 7.6 – 15/30 Tubing Tong contains the following pressure gauges:
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
The torque gauge is part of the load cell application and not included in spe-
cific configurations.
The (optional) hydraulic free-floating backup is designed to oppose the output torque of the tong. It
is mechanically and hydraulically (via hoses) linked to the 7.6 – 15/30 tong and is self-
compensating for connection thread travel in make-up direction. An optional load cell (torque cylin-
der) can be fitted between tong and backup and, by selection, can be used to record makeup or
breakout torque. Two jaws provide the gripping means. A flow divider ensures a centric clamping
action of the hydraulic clamping cylinder. The backup tong is designed to accommodate all collar
diameters within 2 3/8 to 7 5/8-inch, refer to Table 2.1.
A pressure control valve is used to provide a means of adjusting pressure in the backup cylinders
so that jaw gripping loads can be varied to suit all combinations of tubular diameter and torque re-
quirements. A pressure booster increases the pressure set by the control valve (100 bar) by a fac-
tor of four (400 bar) before it reaches the clamping cylinder.
The optional load cell / torque gauge assembly (see Fig. 3.7, shown in make-up configuration)
measures the torque applied while the tong is used in makeup or breakout operations. Consisting
of a hydraulic load cell and torque indicator connected by a pressure hose, the torque gauge as-
sembly senses and indicates the torque developed during an operation. The torque detected can
also be recorded on a chart recorder. In order to transduce the hydraulic pressure to electrical cur-
rent, the pressure transducer has to be connected via a quick-disconnect coupling and a pressure
hose.
For makeup operation, install the hydraulic load cell on the right side of the tong (as seen from the
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
If torque measurement is required during breakout operation, install the hydraulic load cell on the
left side of the tong (as seen from the tong door) between the torsion bar and torque tube.
If the optional backup is not used, the hydraulic load cell is connected to the rear of the tong and to
the backup line. The backup line is the tie-up to a solid part of the rig structure and must form an
angle of 90° to yield accurate torque readings (refer to Section 2.2.3). Take care of the different
tong arm lengths and the correct type of torque cylinder.
The optional A-Q-TORK control system has been developed specifically to provide controlled
makeup for special requirements to thread or material. This applies e.g. to premium connections
including corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) materials and specialty premium threads. Pipe manufac-
turers are now specifying extremely low makeup speeds and this system will enable us to meet this
requirements. A low torque spin-in feature is provided along with a controlled low speed high
torque makeup capability.
If the Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model TT 7.6 - 15/30 is ordered with this A-Q-TORK System the tong
is fitted with the A-Q-TORK drive module consisting of a Danfoss hydraulic motor, a computerized
connection monitoring / display system, JAM and a pressure relieving dump valve.
This is an adjustable pressure and flow control module designed to give full control of the tong
speed during both make-up and breakout operations. Included into the module is an automatic
changeover valve, which is operated simultaneously with the gearshift handle (see Fig. 4.2, lever
V5) to allow the operator to shift from high gear (spin-in) to the low gear (final torque) mode. During
high gear (spin-in) only the max pressure is limited. During low gear (makeup) the A-Q-TORK
mode is activated to provide speed and pressure limitation.
There is an electronic solenoid that is activated by a signal from the JAM system MCU. The signal
is generated by the logic of the JAM system. A ‘bad signal’ if the connection fails to reach or ex-
ceeds the pre-set parameters or a ‘good signal’ if the information from the connection is between
the min and max preset parameters.
A separate valve section bypasses the flow control block and provides:
• Spin-in speed 40 rpm at 30 gpm max.
The A-Q-TORK System is compatible with the WEATHERFORD JAM 1000 IS system. To adapt
the IS Dump Valve with existing JAM Systems an electrical interface is needed (refer to Section
8.5.7.1). The polarity of JAM dump signal is compensated and the voltage is limited electronically
to a value needed for the dump valve.
NEVER connect the IS dump valve directly to a JAM system. Even the 1000 IS
signal causes destruction of the valve solenoid.
Except when the JAM system is equipped for direct connection (refer to JAM
System documentation).
JAM units with 12V dump signal are also available (refer to Section 8.5.5).

Use petroleum-based hydraulic oil to ensure proper function of the tubing tong. Depending on the
used hydraulic motor version the power unit / hydraulic fluid must comply with the following values
to operate the tong:
At other operating oil temperatures use oil of the appropriate viscosity range
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
• High demulsibility (low amulsibility) for separation of water, air and contaminants.
Note that the pressure output (PSI) of the power source is related directly to
the max torque output of the tong.
The power source flow output (GPM) is directly related to the output speed
of the tong.
4 OPERATION
4.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
DO NOT operate the Tubing Tong unless the commissioning check has been
carried out. This is certified on the commissioning checklist in Section 4.5.
Failure to observe this safety precaution can cause severe injury or death.
BEFORE hanging the tong, inspect all cables, shackles, pulleys, etc. used to
hang or secure the tong to the rig. Parts should be of correct size and should
be inspected to detect wear or damage, inadequate lubrication and any miss-
ing parts such as retaining pins.
Failure to maintain lifting and restraining gear in operating order can result
in serious injury to personnel and damage to rig equipment.
Be sure no part of the body or clothing is in the tong rotary area and no ca-
bles or equipment other than casing are enclosed in the tong. Operator and
all other objects must be clear of backup line and traveling path of tong while
in operation.
Failure to observe these procedures will cause severe injury to personnel and
damage rig equipment.
ALWAYS operate the manual valve handles one by one. NEVER activate
more than one valve handle at a time.
Failure to comply with this note may result in damage of parts.
ALWAYS operate the manual valve handles one by one. NEVER activate
more than one valve handle at a time.
Failure to comply with this note may result in damage of parts.
The make-break catch assembly allows the tong to bite when operating in the corresponding
mode.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Push make-break catch left for breakout operation; push it right for makeup operation.
It is assumed that installation and preparations have been carried out according to Section 2.
1 Visually inspect all connections. Check unit for correct clamping elements (see Section 2).
Make sure that shifting lever and throttle handle is in neutral position.
1 All functions are set hydraulically before shipment. Only the function “Backup Clamping” is to
be checked prior to each job. A clamping pressure of about 400 bar / 5800 PSI (shown on
the clamping pressure indicator, see Fig. 4.4) is sufficient for almost all torque and pipe con-
ditions. DO NOT exceed this pressure!
1 Push the valve handle of the backup section (backup clamp). Turn the adjustment nut clock-
wise until the desired clamping pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.
1 Release the valve handle of the backup section and tighten the lock nut.
1 Pull the valve handle until the clamping cylinders (backup jaws are completely retracted;
push the handle and verify the adjustment.
It is assumed that installation and preparations have been carried out according to Section 2.
1 Visually inspect all connections. Check unit for correct clamping elements (see Section 2).
1 Disconnect the power unit throttle either hydraulically or mechanically. Connect the hydraulic
power supply to the tong. The dump valve cable should be run to the dump valve from the
JAM system. Before making any adjustments allow the power unit to run 10 – 15 minutes to
reach operation temperature in the hydraulics 86° F / 30° C as minimum. Optimum tempera-
ture is 122° F / 50° C.
1 Adjust spin-in torque valve (item 1, Fig. 4.5 depending on used dump valve version) with the
tong on a blank piece of pipe to stop at a torque just below the JAM reference torque.
1 Back-out the following valves: make-up torque (item 2, Fig. 4.5) and bypass valve (item 3).
The valves for makeup speed (item 4) and breakout speed (item 5) are pre-set to standard
operation and can be adjusted at the job to an optimum. Ensure that the dump valve connec-
tor is plugged in. Put the tong to the pipe and adjust the bypass valve (item 3) to a suitable
torque value.
A JAM torque time graph (see Fig. 4.6) will show a slower increase of
torque (not a steep rising line) by this function.
1 Disable the JAM dump valve and adjust the makeup torque valve (item 2) to just above the
required optimum make-up torque.

Make sure no part of your body or your clothing is within range of the ro-
tary.
Operator, other personnel, lines, hoses and any other objects must be kept
clear of the jaws, the backup line and the working area of the tong.
Drawing in of limbs or clothing can cause serious injuries or death!
DO NOT operate the tong with the tong door open! In its shipped configura-
tion, the interlock system prevents this.
DO NOT tamper with this safety device!
Operating the tong with deactivated interlock system and open tong door
can lead to serious injury!

DO NOT grip pipe thread with your hands!
ALWAYS grip pipes above their thread.
4.4.1 Preparation
1 Make sure the correct clamping elements are installed and that the three support legs are
removed. Shifting lever and throttle handle must be in neutral position.
1 Make sure the hydraulic power unit is adjusted properly and switched on. See power unit
operating manual.
1 Pull backup/lift cylinder lever back to lift the tong to the top final position.
1 Adjust pressure relief valve of lift cylinder in such a way that the tong just starts to drop slow-
ly. Then turn the valve back a little, so that the tong stops dropping.
Pull backup/lift cylinder lever to lower the tong to the appropriate height.
Depending on the used tool joint and jaw type the distance between tong and backup can be set
in two positions:
• Upper Backup Position (short distance between tong and backup) for standard jaws accord-
ing table 2.1 and normal tool joints (with installed bushings (items 2, Section 8.5.1) at the two
torque tubes).
• Lower Backup Position (bigger distance between tong and backup) for Micro-Grip/non-
marking/Diamond Grip jaws and specific tool joints (without bushings (items 2, Section 8.5.1)
at the two torque tubes).
1 Close the backup and clamp it on the pipe. Tong must be unclamped.
1 To decrease the distance between tong and backup, lower tong and reinstall the bushings of
the two torque tubes.
1 Unhook the chain suspension between tong and backup, lift tong and hang the chain sus-
pension into the correct chain link. Open the backup and check the horizontal balance of the
backup. If necessary, readjust the balance by hanging the chain suspension one chain link
higher or deeper.
1 Position tong around pipe that the tool joint is between tong and backup and close door.
1 Push tong lever forward and check that the jaws bite and that the rotary rotates in clockwise
direction at high speed.

1 Return tong lever to neutral position and move gearshift lever up to select high gear.
1 Then pull tong lever back fully to unscrew the pipe completely.
1 Push tong lever forward to disengage the jaws until the rotary opening corresponds to the
openings of the cage plates and the tong reaches its starting position.
1 Set tong lever to the opposite direction to reverse the rotary movement until the jaws have
disengaged and tong reaches its starting position.
The A-Q-TORK System performs several functions, which are required when running high chrome
contents and/or shouldered tubing. These functions are:
Very low speed at high torque: RPM is variable from 1/3 to 10 at full torque output.
Very low stall torque: On initial thread engagement during spin-in this will prevent joint
damage due to cross-threading or foreign matter. Initial spin-in
torque value can be set as low as 200 ft-lb.
Accurate endpoint torque: On shouldered connections accurate end point torques are
achieved using the A-Q-TORK System. This is due to the slow
make-up speed, which will eliminate the torque overshoot.
Controlled breakout: Prevents galling normally associated with this operation. There is
1 The only valve that effects high gear operation is the spin-in torque control (item 1, Fig. 4.5).
The tong will stop when the torque is reached. All other valves are disabled.
1 The tong will continue to run at up to full speed until the bypass setting of the bypass valve
(item 3, Fig. 4.5) is reached. Makeup will then proceed at the pre-set final makeup speed
(set with valve item 4, Fig. 4.5) until the JAM system dumps at optimum torque.
Breakout
1 The breakout speed is controlled by the setting of valve 5 (see Fig. 4.5) and will increase
once the torque drops below the bypass valve setting (item 3, Fig. 4.5).

Replace the filter element (see Section 7.7.1). Clean or replace the inlet orifices (see Section 7.7.1).
BEFORE mounting the valve and starting up, always check the filter system and flush the system (see Sec-
tion 7.7.1).
Cleaning and maintenance intervals are crucial for the operational safety of
the unit and must therefore be strictly adhered to.
Disregarding this caution will cause a potentially hazardous situation, which
can result in personal injury and/or material damage.
We strongly recommend to check all bearings and other wear parts in two-
year intervals independent of the hours operated.
Switch off the unit at all maintenance, adjustment or repair work and secure the main switch
against unintentional activation.
• Switch off main power switch, lock with padlock and mark it with a warning sign.
• Close hydraulic isolation valves (supplied by customer) and secure against opening.
• Check that all loosened screwed connections are retightened again after maintenance or repair
work.
1 Overall Equipment
Inspect unit and its accessories for obvious damage, evidence of hydraulic leaks, etc. Refer
to the overhaul procedures for removal and replacement of any faulty parts.
1 Jaw Dies
Inspect jaw dies to be sure that the biting edge is not worn excessively and is capable of bit-
ing effectively. Change dies, if necessary.
1 Rotary Gear
Inspect gear teeth for excessive wear, damage or breakage. If excessive wear or breakage
is found, inspect all internal gears and grease packing for metal particles and damage.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
1 Check rotary gear guide rollers for wear or breakage, and replace if necessary.
1 Check shifting operation, shifting shaft nuts and shifting shaft detent operation as described
in Section 7.9.1.
1 Check torque gauge cylinder for low fluid volume. Fluid level is low if 1/2-inch or more of the
cylinder rod is exposed when under tension.
7.3 CLEANING
Attention:
Vapor beam must NOT be pointed directly to any electrical connectors, espe-
cially not to the electrical sensors.
Vapor beam must NOT be pointed directly to any lubrication points.
1 All exposed surfaces of the tong system should be cleaned with a steam jet or other suitable
cleaning agents after each job.
1 Clean all tong and backup jaw dies with a steel brush after a job is finished or when filthy.
1 The filter element inside the pressure booster is to be cleaned once a week or when con-
taminated. Use 22-mm Allen key to unscrew plug and wash the filter element with petroleum
1 Replace oil filter element (only A-Q-TORK Version) when the contamination indicator on the
oil filter housing is visible, (see Fig 7.2).
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Observe the product-related safety regulations when handling oil and grease
products.
At the beginning of each job and once every operating day thereafter, apply grease through the
grease fittings. Use a grease gun with a flexible delivery pipe.
The rotary gearing was filled with grease during assembly. Refilling is only necessary after repair
work.
In general, be liberal with grease. Over-greasing will do no harm, whereas greasing to little can re-
sult in excessive wear or in a system breakdown.
Shut down the hydraulic system before starting lubrication service. Unex-
pected operation of the system from a third side can kill you!
Attach a warning sign to the main switch at the control cabinet.

The valve null (hydraulic null = electrical null) has been properly adjusted at the factory by preload-
ing the flapper centering springs. It may be desirable to readjust this valve null.
1 Using a 3 mm Allen wrench, turn the adapter (item 93, Fig. 7.6) in a clockwise or counter-
clockwise direction to locate null.
When adjusting valve null, it must be distinguished between axis cut and
overlapped valve spools.
Correct null setting has been found when equal pressures (cylinder pressure) are obtained
in the blocked load ports. If it is not possible to measure the pressure, search for the position
of the adapter (item 93, Fig. 7.6) at which the motor or cylinder does not move.
Observe increasing pressure in one of the blocked load ports by turning the null adjust screw
in one direction. Then turn the screw in the other direction and observe the increase in pres-
sure in the other load port. Note the two wrench positions. Hydraulic null is set by turning to
mid position.
Since it is normally not possible to measure the pressure when the valve is installed, the null
adjustment must be carried out by observing the cylinder or motor movement (loop opened).
The mid setting must also be used in this case. CAUTION - uncontrolled movements may
occur.
It is advisable to use the MOOG Valve Checker D129-008-A001 for checking the proper null
adjustment. This checker can be used to determine the relevant input current at which pres-
sure starts to rise in the load ports.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
All maintenance operations mentioned below require dismounting of the valve from the machine on
which it is used.
Basic rule:
Keep tools and work environment as clean as possible.
1 IMMEDIATELY PROTECT THE VALVE PORTS WITH THE SUPPLIED SHIPPING PLATE
(item 92, Fig. 7.6) AND PROTECT THE CONNECTING FLANGE WITH THE FLUSHING
1 Clean the valve with clean solvent, containing no acids or residues, and dry it off with
lint-free paper cloth.
The built-in filter protects the inlet orifices and nozzles against coarse dirt particles. If the filter is
heavily soiled, the valve will respond more slowly, operate uni-directionally or will be completely in-
operative. In this case, replace the filter element. DO NOT clean it!
1 Remove the four socket head cap screws and lock washers (items 29 and 34, Fig. 7.6).
1 Remove the filter disk (item 10, Fig. 7.6, Part No. 5280553).
1 Remove the 0-ring (item 53, Fig. 7.6) in the filter retainer and the 0-ring (item 97, Fig. 7.6)
behind the filter.
1 Clean the filter bore in the valve body carefully and thoroughly with lint-free paper cloth.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
1 Clean the filter retainer. On certain valve models, the filter retainer contains a 0.5 mm diame-
ter orifice bore. This must be cleaned carefully and not damaged.
1 Insert a new 0-ring (item 97, Fig. 7.6) in the valve body (item 1, Fig. 7.6) and a new 0-ring
(item 53, Fig. 7.6) on the filter retainer (item 9, Fig. 7.6).
1 Insert a NEW filter disk (item 10, Fig. 7.6, Part No. 5280553).
1 Fit the lock washers (items 34, Fig. 7.6) and socket head cap screws (items 29, Fig. 7.6).
Torque the screws uniformly to 3 Nm.
Fine dirt particles may have plugged the inlet orifices. If they cannot be cleaned or are damaged
(visual check), the inlet orifices must be replaced. Replace orifices in pairs only.
1 Remove the 3 hexagon head screws and the lock washers (items 28 and 35, Fig. 7.6).
1 Remove the end plate, seal plate and 0-ring (item 6, 7 and 49, Fig. 7.6).
1 Carefully remove the inlet orifice (item 11, Fig. 7.6) using the extractor tool 66356-002
(thread 4-40 UNC).
The spool, which is now visible MUST NOT be rotated. The spool may be
moved carefully to-and-fro BY AT MOST ± 1 mm.
Larger spool displacement may damage the feedback wire. Repair in this
case, can be conducted only at the works.
1 Clean the orifice bore (item 11, Fig. 7.6) with solvent and blow through with clean com-
pressed air. DO NOT use wire or similar means.
1 Fit a new 0-ring (item 51, Fig. 7.6) to the inlet orifice (item 11, Fig. 7.6) and lubricate the
0-ring.
1 Insert the inlet orifice (item 11, Fig. 7.6) using the extractor tool 66356-002, carefully moving
it to-and-fro. DO NOT damage the 0-ring (item 11, Fig. 7.6).
1 Fit the 0-ring (item 49, Fig. 7.6) into the seal plate (item 7, Fig. 7.6). Replace the 0-ring if re-
quired.
1 Fit the seal plate (item 7, Fig. 7.6) CORRECTLY so that oil can flow from the inlet orifice
(item 11, Fig. 7.6) across the spool end to the feed bore on top of the valve body.
1 Fit the end plates (items 6, Fig. 7.6) with lock washers (items 35, Fig. 7.6) and secure them
with hexagon head screws (items 28, Fig. 7.6).
Pilot Connection - Conversion from internal to external Supply and vice versa
The setting of the pilot connection as shipped can be seen from the last let-
ter of the type code on the nameplate.
I = Internal pilot connection
E = External pilot connection
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
The socket head cap screw (item 15, Fig. 7.6) M 4 x 6 with Usit-ring (item 16, Fig. 7.6) (or the set-
screw M 5 x 6 on valves manufactured prior to August 1985) MUST be fitted:
1 In the case of internal pilot oil supply (I): in 1 In case of external pilot oil supply (E): in
port X for the external pilot supply line to the bore for the internal pilot oil connection
block this line off. (inside port P of the valve bore so as to
block this line off).
1 When changing the pilot connection from internal to external or vice versa, fit the screw plug
into the other threaded bore.
In the case of the version with setscrew, this screw is fitted with Loctite and
must be locked again with Loctite when refitted.
Since most valve failures are due to contamination, it is necessary to check all system filters and
flush the system in accordance with our start-up procedure D7, Para. 5.2, before mounting the
valve. DO NOT mount the valve until this has been done.
1 Remove the shipping plate (item 92, Fig. 7.6) from the valve base.
Inspect jaw dies to ensure that the biting edges are not worn excessively and are capable of biting
effectively. If wear of the dies is excessive, the dies must be replaced. The dies cannot be re-
worked.
The jaw inserts can be pushed out after the cap screws of the locking ring are removed. ALWAYS
change dull or worn inserts simultaneously.
Cap Screws
(accessible through holes)
Locking Ring
Jaw Inserts
Inspect jaw inserts to ensure that the surface is not worn excessively and is capable of gripping ef-
fectively. If wear of the inserts is excessive, the inserts must be replaced. The inserts cannot be
reworked.
1 Remove all cap screws of the upper locking ring and remove the ring. Note: On Diamond
Grip jaws with mesh clamp the cap screws are accessible through the holes in the mesh
clamp (see Example in Fig. 7.12).
1 Replace the locking ring in its position and screw in and tighten the cap screws.
1 Repeat this procedure with all inserts of the complete jaw set.
The shifting locator pin that holds the shifting mechanism in the selected speed is adjustable. This
adjustment should be checked at the beginning of each job and at the start of each shift thereafter.
To check operation of shifting locator pin, raise shifting handle to high-speed position and verify
that control snaps into position. Exert force on shifting lever and verify that the lever remains in
high-speed position until considerable force is exerted when it will give way to slide freely to next
position. Repeat this operational check in low-speed and neutral positions.
When an operational check indicates the need to adjust the shifting locator pin, adjust by tightening
the spring plunger body one-half turn. Repeat the locator pin operational check. If additional ad-
justment is indicated, repeat adjustment procedure until proper operation is achieved.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
Test Recommendations
A pre-operation test of the WEATHERFORD Hydraulic Tubing Tong Model TT 7.6 - 15/30 is rec-
ommended subsequent to motor replacement or repair, control valve replacement or repair, and
major parts replacement.
1 With the tong off the string, check all tong and backup functions once (in both directions).
Make sure to test tong rotation for 2 minutes, both in high gear and in low gear.
1 During these tests, listen for any unusual noises or grinding and watch for any misalignment
or erratic operation.
1 While observing tong rotation, listen for any unusual noise and watch for excessive move-
ment at door hinges and door facing which may indicate damage or wear.
1 Repeat the test procedure with the tong switched to breakout mode.
If a problem is detected during the free run test, correct the problem (see Section 6 “Troubleshoot-
ing”) and repeat the test to ensure that the corrective action was effective.
Performing the torque test (with jaws installed) normally requires access to a mandrel or test fix-
ture. When a mandrel or test fixture is not available, a test should be run at the first opportunity on
“in-hole” pipe.
1 Close tong door and clamp the lower pipe end with the backup.
1 As the tong jaws begin to grip the pipe, observe both output torque on the torque gauge and
input hydraulic pressure to the tong. Output torque should be a direct ratio to input hydraulic
1 Continue pushing the throttle handle forward until approx. 70% of determined max torque is
reached.
1 Back off the throttle handle, then advance to the 70% max torque. Repeat this step once.
1 Advance the throttle handle and run pipe up to specified makeup torque.
1 at the hose connectors between the load cell and the torque indicator
When a hose connector is leaking, the connector is to be unscrewed, sealed with teflon tape and
tightened again.
Model TT 7.6 - 15/30
When oil is leaking at the piston rod or vent hole, the load cell has to be disassembled and the pis-
ton o-rings have to be replaced, see Fig. 7.13.
1 Remove the locking screw from the piston bottom and then the piston bottom from the pis-
ton by unscrewing. Remove both parts from the load cell housing.
1 Reassemble the load cell and fix the lock screw and the hose with connector.
1 Fix the load cell in a vice, (vent screw to the top); see Fig. 7.14.
1 Attach the hand pump to the check valve at the torque indicator; see Fig 7.15.
1 Pump a couple of strokes until the torque indicator displays approximately 500 ft-lb.
1 Open the vent screw carefully and pump until the fluid streams clearly.
1 Close the vent screw and check the calibration of the torque measuring system.
During hot weather it may be necessary to release excess fluid at the vent
screw, if the indicator shows pressure when not under tension.

Cleaning and maintenance intervals are crucial for the operational safety of
the unit and must therefore be adhered to.
Disregarding this caution will cause a potentially hazardous situation, which
can result in personal injury and/or material damage.
We strongly recommend to check all bearings and other wear parts in two-
year intervals independent of the hours operated.
For Tongs older than 15 years consider taking them out of service.
