IDENTIFICATION OF OF WARNINGS AND OTHER NOMENCLATURE OF
IMPORTANCE USED IN THIS INSTALLATION GUIDE
McCoy Drilling & Completions uses three indicators to describe items of three degrees of importance.
A
HAZARD
to operators or equipment is represented by an exclamation point within a red triangle and identifies items
of the highest importance. Failure to heed information identified by a
HAZARD
symbol may result in bodily injury, death,
catastrophic equipment damage, or any combination of these. A
HAZARD
may also indicate the potential for dangerous
environmental contamination.
The information presented in this document will provide setup, operating, and maintenance instruc-
tions for your KT5500 tong & CLINCHER® backup. Due to the wide variety of operating conditions,
these instructions must be considered guidelines rather than absolute operating procedures. It is the
responsibility of the user to use these guidelines together with an experienced manager to develop
operating procedures that conform to all policies set forth by the operating authority (ies).
A
WARNING
is represented by an exclamation point within an orange triangle, and contains information that will alert per-
sonnel to a potential safety hazard that is not life-threatening. A
WARNING
may also serve to alert the user to information
critical to the correct assembly or operation of the equipment in use.
