ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

Assembly of Farr Hydraulic Power Tongs is straightforward, and can be accomplished without the use of special tools. The
instructions on this page are presented as a guide only, and are similar to the assembly sequence our technician would use while
assembling the tong in our plant.
ALL FASTENERS USED DURING REASSEMBLY OF LOAD-BEARING COMPONENTS (CHAIN
SLINGS, RIGID SLINGS, BACKUP LEGS) MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE.
THREADED FASTENERS USED IN LOAD-BEARING DEVICES MUST BE SECURED WITH RED LOC-
TITE™.
