Loading
To load the downhole tool in the unit, slide the vise left or right as needed. Adjust the vee-
saddle to support the tool when set into the vise. Set the tool into the vise. Position the tong
for make up or break out as needed and set the tong onto the tool. Adjust the vise and tong
as described and latch the vise chain and tong chain.
CAUTION: The vee-saddles must be used to support the tool while torquing.
Vise and Tong Adjustment
Release the cam lock on the tong and vise by depressing the cam lever and moving the pawl
to the unlocked position (see figure). Slide the chain through the tong or vise as needed to
latch the chain screw nut into the jaw. Move the pawl lever to the locked position and
release the cam lever. Check that the cam lever is latched. Tighten the chain screw nut on
the vise until hand tight. Tighten the chain screw nut on the tong until it is hand tight and
then loosen the chain screw nut on the tong 1/2 turn to provide proper ratcheting.
