Tong Leveling

The tong must be leveled side-to-side and front-to-rear before placing into service. We have provided the following guidelines for
assisting you when leveling your tong.
i. Place a level axially (side to side) across the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong. Use a thin wrench
on the flat of the adjusting helix to rotate the helix, forcing the lift link to move towards the outer supports of the sling. The 3/4" nylock
nut on the pin may have to be slightly loosened to allow the helix to rotate. Adjust the helix until the level shows that the tong is level
side-to-side.
