INSTALLATION
1) Location
1a) find the right location(s) for the cylinder assembly and power unit
1b) determine whether unpright or inverted mounting is best in this application
1c) build an appropriate bracing structure and install the cylinder
2) place the power unit, connect power, and make hydraulic connections to the
cylinder and control box
3) install the wireline assembly
4) test the unit for proper operation
Locating the cylinder and power unit (1a) is a matter of function and safety. The
cylinder, wireline and bracing should be aligned so that they will be in a straight line
when the tong is at 90 degrees. While the cylinder will swivel on the backup post (and
does in operation), the cylinder needs to start out aligned.
