The four hydraulic models -RS, CH, CTS and

BTS -and the two air-driven versions -SA and
BTA -all use the same two-speed transmission.
All models except the CH have the same frame
assembly parts.
The RS model is a gate-type tong with a fourway control valve that allows the tong to be
reversed without roll-over. The Model SA is the
air-driven version of the RS.
The BTS model is a reversible, short-lever,
gate-type hydraulic tubing tong, and the BTA is
the air-powered model.
The Model CH is a closed head hydraulic power

tong with reversible motor, and the Model CTS
is a standard length, reversible hydraulic gatetype power tong. Both can be used for tubing
and casing.
All models handle tubing sizes through
4-1/2 OD. The CH and CTS also will handle
pipe sizes through 5 1/2 inches OD.

2. THE CAM AND ROLLER GRIPPING MECHANISM

The hydraulic-driven tongs are available with

either a standard or high-torque motor. Models
RS, CH, CTS and SA use the same right-angle
gear box.
The bob-tailed tongs, Models BTS and BTA,
use a slightly different gear box which puts the
motor and valve on top of the tongs instead of
on the lever end. Model BTS is shorter than
Model RS by 10 inches. Model BTA is shorter
than Model SA by 13 inches. The length of both
bob-tailed models is 29-1/4 inches from the
centerline of the tubing to the end of the lever.
The shorter models are sometimes desirable if
rig floor space is limited.
The primary feature of this gripping mechanism

is its high initial gripping force which prevents
any possibility of slippage, and its low final
gripping force which prevents crimping. This is
accomplished by the angle on the cam surface
of the jaw which decreases the ratio of the die
force in relation to the torque as the tong
tightens up on the tubing.
FIGURE 1 The Jaw and bushing Installed for right-hand

rotation as would be the case when going Into the hole.
In Figure 1 note that the bushing and jaw are

part of the inner ring assembly which in turn is
actuated by the outer ring assembly. The
bushing is stationary in the inner ring while the
jaw is hinged to point E so that, as the outer
ring rotates forward with respect to the inner
ring assembly, the roller D will roll along the
cam surface of the jaw and cause it to move in
contact with the tubing. In order to develop a
positive force of the jaw against the tubing, it is
necessary to restrain the movement of the inner
ring assembly while the outer ring forces the
jaw inward. This is accomplished by using a
brake band, anchored to the top of the frame
cover, and a brake drum on top of the inner
ring. (The spring force in the brake band
automatically maintains the proper drag on the
inner ring assembly.) As soon as the initial force
is developed on the jaw, as controlled by the
brake band, the inner ring and outer ring
assemblies will rotate as a unit. The brake band
will continue to retard the inner ring assembly
enough to maintain the minimum die force
necessary to grip the tubing under all
conditions. This feature is particularly
valuable while drilling or reaming, when
"hanging up" would normally tend to break the
hold of the tong. When the tong is removed

from the tubing, the outer ring is reversed and
the brake band holds the inner ring assembly
while the roller D releases its force on the jaw
as it moves toward point E. Roller C then
retracts the front end of the jaw and holds it in
the full open position. The inner ring and outer
ring assemblies then rotate as a unit until their
openings line up with the opening in the frame
to permit the tong to come off the tubing. Note
that rollers H, G, and F resist the load caused
by roller D against the jaw. They also eliminate
most of the friction between the outer ring and
inner ring assemblies. Roller C holds the jaw in
full open position. If, however, the jaw and
bushing are reversed by changing them to the
opposite sides, which would be the case in
counterclockwise rotation, then rollers C, D, and
F support the inner ring assembly, roller G
actuates the jaw, and roller H then holds the
jaw in the full open position.
Figure 2 shows how the chain drives the
gripping mechanism. Note how the chain spans
the opening in the outer ring with no less than
15 teeth on the sprocket to drive it. A hydraulic
motor or air motor can furnish the power. A
gear box reduces the motor speed to the sliding
gear shaft speed in the ratio of 10.5:1. A simple
two-speed transmission, sealed in an oil bath,
combined with the chain drive, further reduces
the speed from the motor to the tubing for a
ratio of 27:1 in high gear and a ratio of 102:1 in
low gear.
3. TONG INSTALLATION
HANGING LINE
Hang the tong on a suitable line (usually a 9/16"
wire rope is used) from a point high enough to
allow the tong to swing easily. The tong may be
hung over a sheave either on a fixed line or a
counter-weighted line. There is a spring in the
suspension assembly which will allow the tong
to move vertically while the 'joint is being made
up or broken out even if the tong is suspended
on a fixed line.
BACKUP LINE
The backup line must be long enough, and
anchored high enough to be level with the tong
(at a90 angle to the tail end of the tong). See
Figure 3.
change the distribution of the load on the dies

to such an extent that only a portion of the die
length penetrates the tubing, thereby
resulting in short die life and excessive die
penetration.
BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the balance of the tong by turning the
balancing screw at the top of the hanger and
the hanger set screws at the bottom of each
hanger arm.
HOSE CONNECTIONS
All hydraulic tongs, except Model BTS, have the
pressure hose from the pump connected to the
right side of the tong (viewed from the back and
up-right position). Model BTS has the pressure
hose from the pump connected to the left side
of the tong. The hose to the tank is connected
to the bottom of the Model RS and CTS Tongs,
and is connected to the top of the Model BTS
Tong (viewed from the back of each model).
IMPORTANT: The pressure hose and returnline hose must be properly connected to the
tong for the correct operation of the control
valve. If the hoses are not properly connected
to the tong, the throttle will "seize" itself and the
tong will not shut off. (All models will operate
with the hoses reversed, but they will tend to
jerk or "creep" without stopping completely.
They will also run more slowly than normal.)
SELF-SEALING COUPLINGS
IMPORTANT: The backup line MUST pull at a

right angle to tong and be level with the tong. IF
IT DOES NOT:
1. Tubing will be marked more than necessary.
2. Die life will be greatly shortened.
3. Tong may tend to slip.
The backup line may be either a 9/16" wire rope

or a stiff-arm attachment fabricated from tubing.
A backup line that is too long will be awkward to
use. A line that is too short will tend to pull the
tong off the tubing and may cause the tong to
slip. A line that is anchored too low or too high
will cause the tong to twist, which in turn may
affect the smooth rotating action of the gripping
mechanism. This twisting movement may also
10 | C A V I N S / B J R S P o w e r T u b i n g T o n g
IMPORTANT: Check all hoses to make certain

that the self-sealing couplings are completely
engaged and that there is no blockage or
shutoff in the hydraulic system.
OIL TANK LEVEL
Check the oil tank level to make certain there is
plenty of oil in the system.
OIL CIRCULATION AND WARMUP
With the hoses properly hooked up to the tong,
engage the pump and allow the oil to circulate
for a few minutes before operating the tong. In
cold weather, allow time for warm-up as you
would for an internal combustion engine.
4. TONG OPERATION
THROTTLE AND GEAR SHIFT CONTROLS
Motor Actuation. The motor is actuated by moving
the throttle lever either forward or backward,
depending on the desired direction of rotation.
-indicated by the pull on the backup line -slow the

tong speed and shift into high gear; then accelerate
to the desired speed. Use high gear for spinning and
makeup, unless desired torque requires low gear for
extra high torque makeup.
CAUTION: Be careful with the first joint until you are
sure on which side of the tong to stand, because the
tong will swing in a direction to tighten the backup
line.
CHANGING DIRECTION OF TUBING ROTATION
When starting on the job it may be necessary to
change the jaw and bushing to the correct side. The
methods of changing or reversing the jaw and
bushing are explained below. Instead of reversing
the jaw and bushing the same result can be
accomplished by simply turning the tong over in the
hanger - provided the tong is equipped with a rollover hanger. The method you choose will depend
upon the job ahead and whether you prefer to have
the motor on the top or the bottom of the tong for
most of the work. All RS and SA tongs equipped
with a positioning valve and check valve must be
turned over to change the direction of tubing
rotation. If a tong is not equipped with a positioning
valve and a check valve, it will bite in either direction
by changing the jaw and bushing from one side to
the other.
Tong Fails to Go on Tubing. If the tong fails to go
onto the tubing, it is probably because the jaw is
partially closed. In this case, run the motor in the
direction that will fully open the jaw and then
proceed to install the tong on the tubing. If this fails
to work, check both the jaw and bushing for proper
size and installation.
Removing Tong from Tubing. To remove the tong

from the tubing, simply push the throttle lever in the
direction opposite of that required to close the jaws
and the tong will position itself to be swung off the
tubing. When the throttle lever is released it
automatically returns the throttle valve to a neutral
position -if the hoses are hooked up properly.
Low and High Gears. Low gear is used for breaking
tight joints. As soon as a tight joint begins to free up

CHANGING OR REVERSING JAW AND BUSHING

The jaw and bushing on all tongs that are not
equipped with a positioning valve are reversible as
described above, depending upon the desired
direction of rotation. If the jaw is installed on the left
side (standing in front of the tong: as you look into
the opening of the tong with the motor up), the tong
will rotate the tubing to the left. When the jaw is
installed on the right side, it will rotate the tubing to
the right (the direction of tubing rotation when going
into the hole).
Removal of Jaw and Bushing. Position the tong as
if it were to go onto the tubing. Remove the bushing
as indicated in Figure 7. Then, reverse the motor
and move the outer ring slightly, as shown in Figure
8. This will remove any force against the pivot pin of
the jaw so it will come out easily. Finally, remove the
pivot pin and jaw.
NOTE: Remember that it is difficult to remove or to
install the jaw while the bushing is still in place.
Reversal of Jaw and Bushing. Remove the jaw

and bushing as outlined above. Move the outer ring
slightly so there will be room to get the lip of the
jaw in back of the front roller of the outer ring.
Note the difference in the position of the outer ring in
Figures 8 and 9. In Figure 9 the outer ring protrudes
from the left. In Figure 8 it protrudes from the right.

Make certain that the jaw and bushing are the
correct size. Then install the jaw as shown in Figure
9; install the bushing as shown in Figure 10.
CHANGING DIRECTION OF TUBING ROTATION
WHEN TONG IS EQUIPPED WITH A
POSITIONING VALVE AND A ROLLOVER
HANGER
The jaw and bushing of the Models RS, SA and BTS
Tongs are never reversed if the tong is equipped
with a positioning valve and a rollover hanger. The
jaw must be installed on the right side (viewed from
the front with the motor up). When the motor is up,
the tong turns the tubing clockwise. When the tong
is turned over and the motor is down, the tong will
turn the tubing counterclockwise -the motion of the
tubing when coming out of the hole.
5. TONG MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC PUMP SIZE FOR TRAILERMOUNTED POWER UNIT
A pump is recommended which is capable of no less
than 30 gallons per minute (gpm). The speed
of the tong is directly proportional to the volume
output of the pump. For example, in high gear the
tong speed will be 100 rpm at 35 gpm.
HYDRAULIC PUMP PRESSURE FOR
TRAILERMOUNTED POWER UNIT
The maximum pump pressure to be used is 2000
psi. In the pressure range of 1000-2000 psi, the
pump volume can be cut in half by unloading one
half of the pump in the case of a dual pump, or
remain at full volume in the case of a single pump.
An adjustable relief valve that will operate in the
range of 800-2000 psi is essential for proper
makeup torque on the tubing. Most tubing
manufacturers will furnish a chart giving the
recommended torque for various grades of tubing.
OIL TANK FOR TRAILER-MOUNTED POWER
UNIT
The minimum size of the oil tank should be not less
than 50 gallons and should contain not less than 35
gallons of good hydraulic oil. The oil tank is an
important part of the hydraulic system, and must be
designed properly so it will dissipate heat, not foam,
and will deliver clean oil to the pump suction unit
without undue friction loss. An oil filter is usually
installed inside the tank on the suction line to the
pump. This filter should be inspected periodically
and cleaned when necessary.
HOSES
The power and return hoses should be 1" x 50' for
use on a trailer power unit and 1" x 15' for use on a
well service rig. Quick-connect couplings should
be installed on the ends of the hoses and the tong
for ease of connection and conservation of hydraulic
oil.
LUBRICATION
There are six grease fittings that lubricate the idler
roller bearings carrying the outer ring, five grease
fittings that lubricate the rollers between the inner
and outer rings, and one grease fitting on top of the
drive sprocket. These points should be lubricated
every eight hours. The bearings are well protected,
but on wet jobs dirt and sand will eventually work
into them if they do not receive grease regularly.
This is particularly true if rotary mud is used in the

hole on work-over jobs. Grease added regularly to
these points is a very effective way to keep the dirt
and sand pushed away from them.
Occasional grease should be added to the following:
1. One grease fitting on the right-angle gear box
(upper transmission).
2. One grease fitting on the hydraulic motor.
3. Two grease fittings on the throttle cable of the
Model BTS Tong.
4. One grease fitting on each gear shift handle.
Jaw and Bushing Pins. Use grease on the jaw and
Bushing pins and oil on all contact points between
the inner ring and the outer ring. (Failure to keep
these points lubricated will have a tendency to cause
the tong to slip, as explained in the Trouble
Shooting section of this manual.)
Hanger Pins and Balancing Screw Bolt. Lubricate
the two hanger pins, the two hanger bolts, and the
balancing screw bolt with light oil and note how
easily the tong turns over. These points are often
neglected.
Transmission Oil. Use any good grade of S.A.E. 90
transmission oil in the transmission. Check the oil
level and add oil when necessary. Approximately
one gallon of oil is required.
Right-Angle Gear Box (Upper Transmission). The
right-angle gear box is packed at the factory and
should not need repacking under ordinary
circumstances. However, the gear box should be
checked about every 3 to 4 months to make sure
that nothing unusual has happened to necessitate
repacking. To provide an air bleed, remove the
bearing cover capscrew farthest from the grease
fitting in the side of the right-angle gear box. Pump
the grease through the grease fitting until it begins to
show through the capscrew hole.
6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
JAWS SLIP ON TUBING
The initial grip or die force is governed by the
effective drag of the brake band. The brake band
causes the "knifing in" action of the jaw assembly.
(The brake band also supplies the force that opens
the jaw when it is removed from the tubing.)
Brake Band Effectiveness. The effectiveness of
the brake band can be lessened by anyone of the
following:
1. Too much oil on the brake band lining.
2. lack of lubrication on the jaw pivot pin.
3. lack of lubrication between the inner ring and
outer rings. Make sure that the rollers between the
inner and outer rings are lubricated and turn freely.
4. lack of clearance between the inner and outer
rings.
5. A permanent set or opening up of the brake band.
6. A worn out brake band lining.
Inspection of Tong Not Holding Properly. An
inspection of a tong that is not holding properly
should include the following:
1. If the dies are bad, change them. Be certain that
the buttress teeth are facing in the proper direction:
the buttress teeth should face away from the pivot
pin in both the jaw and the bushing. If the dies look
good, postpone changing them until everything else
is checked.
2. Check the inner ring for wear and make sure that
it has clearance. It may be necessary to remove the
brake band pins to do this. If the inner ring is tight,
there is either foreign matter between the inner ring
and outer rings, or the inner ring is sprung. (It is not
likely that the inner ring will be sprung.)
3. Remove the jaw and bushing. Make sure both jaw
and bushing are the correct size. Replace them
properly after lubricating the pivot pins. The pivot pin
and the pivot pin holes in the jaw and bushing are
sometimes worn so that a sloppy fit results; the jaw
will then slip on the tubing. All worn parts must be
replaced.
4. Check the brake band lining and end connections.
It may be necessary to wipe off excess oil or grease
with a rag soaked in solvent, distillate or kerosene. If
the brake band has taken a "set" it may be
necessary to change it. (The recommended
procedure for changing the brake band is given in
Section 7: Shop Repairs.) A new brake band not
under tension (i.e., when off the drum) will measure
3" from one end connector to the other. A new brake
band under tension measures 5" when on the drum,
which means that it has been stretched 2'; from its
relaxed position to the position it will take on the

drum.
Since the band is made of heavy spring steel it
requires 150 Ibs. of pull to open the band 2"
between the end connectors. If a band measured 4"
when off the drum and 5" when on the drum it would
have only 1" stretch in it -which would give half the
gripping force, or about 75 Ibs. This would probably
not be enough force under severe conditions.
Considering other factors such as alloy tubing, wet
jobs and human judgment (men have different ideas
about when dies are dull), the decision to change a
brake band must be left to the discretion of the
servicemen.
5. Check the wear on the outer ring rollers, pins, and
bushings. Replace all worn parts.
DRIVE CHAIN IS TOO LOOSE
Loosen the nut on the bottom of the idler sprocket
shaft. Remove the small capscrew in the idler
sprocket adjustment plate, and remove the
adjustment plate. Having lined up the opening of the
outer ring with the opening in the frame of the tong,
turn the idler sprocket shaft until it starts to lift the
outer ring at the back. Then slack off slightly. If the
chain is too loose for a single adjustment to take the
slack out of it, turn the idler sprocket shaft until the
cross-cut notch on one corner of the square faces
front-wards. Replace the adjustment plate and
capscrew, and adjust the other shaft. A worn chain
may run somewhat loose after it is adjusted for
maximum take-up. If this seems objectionable
because the chain will drag on the case, it is usually
possible to shorten the chain by a half link.
MOTOR FAILS TO RUN, RUNS SLOWLY, OR
LACKS POWER
The hydraulic motor used on CAVINS/BJ Power
Tubing Tongs is a positive displacement gear type
motor. The characteristics of this motor are that it will
turn a given number of revolutions for a given
quantity of power oil delivered to it, and will develop
a given amount of torque for a given pressure. Most
losses in speed or power can be traced back to the
pump system supplying oil to the motor.
MOTOR TURNS, BUT TONGS DOES NOT TURN
If the motor turns (as determined by listening to the
motor) but the tong does not turn, first check to see
if the transmission is fully engaged. If the
transmission is engaged and the tong still does not
turn, it is likely that a key or shaft is sheared, or that
teeth are broken from a gear, or that the chain is
broken. Preliminary inspection to determine the
location of the trouble requires removing the upper
bearing covers to see which shaft may not be

turning. If the trouble is found at this point, it may
only be necessary to remove the gear case cover in
order to make repairs; if the trouble is not found, it
will be necessary to dismantle the tong as described
on pages 21 to 26.
TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR
Loose Gear Shift Handles. Nuts holding the gear
shift handles to the shaft should be made up tightly
(a 7/8" box wrench is a suitable tool for the purpose).
If this causes the tong to shift with difficulty, it means
that the gear shift handle lock pins are rubbing the
case too hard. Either the pins or springs are frozen
or the shift handles are bent. Do not loosen the
handles to correct this situation; loosened handles
permit the square hole in the handles to wear so that
the tong does not fully engage in gear.
Bent Gear Shift Handles. Bent gear shift handles
do not permit the gears to be properly enmeshed
when the gear shift handle lock pins drop into their
recesses in the frame. Remove the handles from the
gear shift shaft one at a time; heat them with a torch
and bend them until the shift lock pins fit in place
properly when the tong is fully engaged in both high
and low gears.
Gear Shift Lock Pins Frozen. If grease cannot be
worked into the shift lock pins in order to free them,
remove the handle and the grease fitting and drive
out the pins and springs with a small punch. The
gear shift lock pins are made of stainless steel, and
13 a little cleaning should make them work freely
again.
Worn Shifting Fingers. Bent gear shift handles,
due to rough usage (such as loading out,
transporting, or unloading), may cause the shifting
fingers to run in a bind while in one gear or the
other. Extensive use of the tong in this condition
causes the gear shifting fingers to wear excessively
and may necessitate replacing them. To change
worn shifting fingers, drain the oil from the
transmission case and remove the frame cover.
Remove the chain and right angle gear box
assembly. Replace any worn fingers. Make sure the
finger pins clear the inside contour of the yoke and
do not bind either on the side or the bottom of the
groove in the high speed driven gear. Inspect both
the high-speed driven gear and the high-speed
driver gear for wear, and replace them in necessary.
Before attempting to replace the right-angle gear
box assembly, knock out both bearings in the bottom
of the lower transmission. After bolting down the
right-angle gear box assembly, turn the tong over
and replace the bottom bearings. Replace gaskets
before securing the bearing cover plates. For more

detailed instructions, see the Shop Repairs section
of this manual.
Worn Key or Key Lodged Deep In Gear Shift
Shaft. To change the key on the gear shift shaft,
proceed as above for changing the gear shift fingers.
Only one gear shift handle need be removed to
permit the shaft to slide out. Before replacing the
key, make certain that the O rings are in good
condition.
TONG DOES NOT POSITION CORRECTLY
Too Much or Not Enough oil on the Brake Band.
If the brake band is soaked with oil, it may not hold
well enough to keep the gripping mechanism from
running past the opening in the frame. Either wipe
the oil off with a rag, or clean the lining of the brake
band with a rag soaked in cleaning solvent. A dry
brake band may cause the tong to stop too quickly.
A little oil added to the dry band should make it
function properly.
Positioning Valve Not Adjusted. The height of the
positioning valve should be such that as the cam on
the outer ring sprocket comes under the valve, the
rotation of the outer ring is almost stopped. The
tong is designed so that the outer ring will "creep"
slightly when the positioning valve is closed by the
cam. Thus, if the cam happens to fall directly under
the valve when a joint is completely made up, it can
"creep" out from under the valve, and the outer ring
can continue the reverse rotation necessary to
release the jaw from the tubing. If the valve is set too
low the tong will not "creep". If the valve is set too
high the tong will not stop. By backing out the two
set screws that lock the body of the valve to the
flange, the flange can be screwed up or down and
locked in half turn increments until the proper height
is obtained. (In case the positioning valve body has
been removed, the "In" port of the valve body is on
the right for the Model RS Tong, when viewed from
the front.)
OIL IS LEAKING FROM TRANSMISSION CASE
Oil Leaking Heavily. If oil is leaking heavily around
the sliding gear shaft when the tong is upside-down,
remove the right angle gear box assembly and
replace the sliding gear shaft seal. This necessitates
the disassembly procedure described earlier, in the
section entitled Worn Shifting Fingers.
Oil Leaking Lightly. If oil is leaking lightly from the

lower transmission, the right-angle gear box weep
hole, or if after removing the transmission fill plug
you see that the transmission case is full of hydraulic
oil -either remove the hydraulic motor and replace
the oil seal, or install a new motor. (When the motor
oil seal begins to leak, it usually indicates that the
motor is worn out and should be replaced.)
7. SHOP REPAIRS
CHANGING BRAKE BAND ON NEWER MODEL
TONGS
Align the opening of the inner and outer rings with
the opening in the tong frame. Remove the six
capscrews from the brake band cover plate as
shown in Figure 11. Pry off the old brake band,
which is located directly under the cover plate. Apply
grease liberally to the lining of the new brake band
and to the inside of the eye on each end of the band
as shown in Figure 12. Put the new brake band on
the inner ring and knock out the wooden spacer as
shown in Figure 13. If the new band does not have a
spacer, a piece of wood 5 1/2" long can be inserted
as shown in Figure 14. The brake band cover can
then be replaced and the six capscrews reinstalled.
NOTE: When the cover plate is replaced, make

certain that the two brake pins in the cover plate
enter the eye openings at each end of the brake
band.
CHANGING BRAKE BAND ON OLDER MODEL
TONGS
Brake band replacement will be simplified if the gap
in the outer ring is first aligned with the gate.
If the tong is equipped with a rollover hanger, put a

small block between the frame and the lower hanger
arm. Remove the hanger pin in the upper hanger
arm. The block between the frame and the lower
hanger arm prevents the end of the upper hanger
arm from cocking up and out of alignment with the
holes in the hanger bracket. Next, remove the
following: four roller shaft nuts, the guard top half,
two brake band pins, and two frame cover bolts at
the back of the frame cover. Removal of the brake
band pins ensures easier installation of the cover
when the tong is reassembled. Use a small bar
between the outer ring and the cover to loosen the
front of the frame cover. At the same time pry up at
the back of the frame cover. It is important to pry up
evenly on the frame cover. Remove it as in Figure
16. Remove the old brake band.
Turn the tong on its side or upside down and drive

out the two 3/4" dowel pins at the front of the tong,
as shown in Figure 15. (This is not always necessary
but it usually makes the job easier.) Remove the
positioning valve and the two hoses going to it (if the
tong is so equipped.)
Apply grease liberally to the lining of the new band.

Put the new brake band on the inner ring and knock
out the wooden spacer as described above. If the
new band does not have a spacer, a piece of wood
51/2" long can be inserted as shown in Figure 14.
CAUTION: Do not stretch the band farther than
necessary to get the spacer in place. To do so may
give the band a permanent set. Tighten the chain as
shown in Figure 17 enough to take the slack out of it
but not enough to raise the back of the outer ring.
NOTE: The idler sprocket shaft is notched in one
corner of the square that fits the idler sprocket
adjusting plate. When this notch is facing frontwards,
it indicates maximum tightness of the chain.
Replace the frame cover. Keep the back end up,

level with the front end as it is driven down. Use a
lead hammer or wooden block to drive the cover
down. The cover fits tightly, but it will not go down
with difficulty if it goes down evenly. Some trouble
might occur if the dowel pins or brake band (anchor)
pins have been left in the frame and cover. Note
also that if the chain has been adjusted too tightly it
may not allow the top of the idler sprocket shafts to
line up evenly with the cover.
Replace the guard top half. A star washer must be
placed under the guard nut to give the guard proper
clearance above the frame cover. Figure 18
illustrates an easy method to install the guard spring.
Drive in the two frame cover dowel pins.
If it is necessary to readjust the chain for tightness,
tighten the chain as described above. Then install
the capscrew in the idler sprocket adjusting plate.
Replace the frame cover bolts, roller shaft alemite
nuts, and the guard bolt.
With a small block between the frame and the lower
hanger arm install the upper hanger pin. Install the
positioning valve. Install the brake band pins,
making certain that the brake band is aligned with
the opening in the frame.
REMOVING SUBASSEMBLIES FROM TONG

Outer Ring Assembly. Remove the hanger and
frame cover as described above under Changing
Brake Bands On Older Model Tongs. With the
gear shift lever in neutral, rotate the gripping
mechanism until the roller chain assembly can be
disconnected and removed. Turn the opening of the
outer ring to each of the back idler roller assemblies.
Unscrew the nuts from the bottom ends of the shafts
and lift the idler roller assemblies out of the frame
(Figure 19). Finally, turn the opening of the outer
ring toward one of the idler sprocket roller
assemblies and lift out the outer ring assembly
(Figure 20).
bearings with a bronze punch. Tap first on one shaft,

then the other, being careful not to damage the snap
ring grooves.
Removal of Motor. Disconnect the motor port piping

(Figure 21). Remove the four capscrews holding the
motor to the transmission. Separate the motor from
the right-angle gear box (Figure 22).
Removal of Right-Angle Gear Box from Frame
and Transmission. Drain the oil from the lower
transmission. Remove the two gear box cover dowel
pins (Figure 23). Remove the five transmission case
cap screws. You may drive out the dowel pins
before the capscrews are removed: this will prevent
damage to the snap rings or to the snap ring
grooves on the bottom end of the drive shaft and
sliding gear shaft. Turn the tong upside down and
remove the two gear box bearing plates and the two
snap rings from the ends of the drive shaft and
sliding gear shaft (Figure 24). Support the
transmission assembly enough to hold it level with
the frame while driving the two shafts from their
Removal of Transmission. Turn the tong right side

up (Figure 25). Remove the high-speed driven gear
and the two gear shift fingers. Remove one gear
shift handle -it makes no difference which you

choose to remove. Using a bronze punch, drive the
gear shift actuator yoke out of the gear shift shaft; at
the same time pull outward on the remaining gear
shift handle (Figure 26). Remove the key after it
comes out of the yoke. Remove the low-speed
driven gear and the thrust washer (Figure 27). Tap
out both bearings from the transmission case (Figure
28). These bearings will not go back into place until
after the right angle-gear box has been fitted to the
transmission case.
DISASSEMBLING TONG SUBASSEMBLIES
Disassembling Gripping Mechanism. Remove the
six outer ring sprocket bolts. It may be necessary to
use a chisel or punch to loosen the four front
screws, and an end wrench or box wrench to loosen
the nuts on the back bolts. Remove the outer ring
sprocket from the outer ring. It may be necessary to
drive the sprocket off of the two dowel pins using a
hammer and bronze punch. Remove the five roller
pins and the outer ring rollers. Note that the two
smaller rollers are in front (5 smaller rollers on the
Model CTS Tong), adjacent to the opening. Lift out
the inner ring.
Disassembling Idler Roller Assemblies. Remove

the larger of the two idler roller bearing retaining
rings (Figure 29). Drive or press the shaft and
bearing toward the opening of the idler roller. All
rollers have knockout holes to assist in removing the
bearing from the roller. Remove the smaller retaining
rings from the shaft (Figure 30), and press or drive
the bearing from the shaft (Figure 31). Always install
a new bearing by driving or pressing on the race that
is tight -this will ensure that the load is not
transmitted to the balls of the bearing.
Disassembling Right-Angle Gear Box. First,

remove the following: the two upper bearing covers,
the two snap rings, the two upper bearings, the two
upper bearing cages, and the shims (Figures 32 and
33). Remove the right-angle gear box cover (Figure
34). Remove the bevel gear and counter shaft
assemblies (Figure 35). Remove the bevel pinion
assembly by taking out the four bearing cage
capscrews (Figure 36). Remove the driven gear
snap ring (Figure 37), and the bevel gear shaft lower
bearing inner race. After removing the bearing inner
race, use a heavy punch in the bottom of the hole to
force out the drive shaft assembly (Figure 38). If the
drive shaft upper bearing is tightly lodged in the gear
case, use the following disassembly tactic: remove
the driven gear; remove the drive shaft bearing
retaining ring; press the drive shaft out th rough the
top of the transmission case. If this tactic is used, be
careful not damage the snap ring groove on the end
of the drive shaft.
REASSEMBLING TONG SUBASSEMBLIES
Reassembling Gripping Mechanism. Install the
inner ring with three large outer ring rollers and two
small outer ring rollers. The two small rollers go next
to the opening in the outer ring. (There are five small
rollers on the Model CTS Tong). Install the outer ring
sprocket with: two dowel pins, four short outer ring
sprocket bolts, and two long outer ring sprocket
bolts. The short bolts, without nuts and lock
washers, go in the front next to the opening in the
outer ring. The holes in the outer ring for the short
bolts are threaded; the bolt must not extend into the
outer ring far enough to interfere with the jaw or front
roller. The nuts on the back bolts should be
tightened with a wrench. The heads of all four bolts
should be staked with a center punch to prevent
loosening.
Reassembling Idler Roller Assemblies. Press the
bearing which has one side sealed on the idler roller
shaft, with the seal located at the end opposite to the
grease fitting. Install retaining rings on each side of
the bearing. Press or drive the bearing into the idler
roller, keeping the sealed side of the bearing at the
open end of the idler roller. Install the large retaining
ring in the idler roller (Figure 29).
NOTE: There are three different shafts used in the

six rollers. In all instances, the sealed side of the
bearing is the side farthest from the grease fitting. In
all instances, the sealed side of the bearing is at the
open end of the roller. When installed in the tong,
the open end of the back roller is up and the other
four rollers have the open end down (Figure 39).
5. Install the drive shaft keys. File the keys lightly to

remove any burrs, so that the keys will press into the
two gears by hand. Do not force the keys by driving
on them. Remove any high spots on the key by
stroking it while laying it flat on a sharp mill file.
6. Install the drive shaft oil seal retaining ring in the
gear case and press the drive shaft assembly back
against the retaining ring.
7. Install the sliding gear shaft oil seal in the gear
case. The lip of this seal is down in order to hold the
oil in the transmission case below it.
8. Install the sliding gear shaft, the drive sprocket,
and the sliding gear shaft upper bearing. The sealed
side of the bearing should face the sprocket; the
short hub side of the sprocket faces downward.
Make sure the lip of the seal is properly seated.
Reassembling Bevel Pinion Cage Assembly for

Motor Gear Case. Press the outboard bearing into
the bearing cage, keeping the sealed side of the
bearing against the shoulder inside the cage. Install
the snap ring. Press the inboard bearing on the
bevel pinion. Add the spacer, the outboard bearing,
and the cage. When it is assembled the snap ring
will be on the inside, and the seal of the bearing will
be on the outside of the assembly.
Make up the bevel pinion locknut with approximately
100 ft. Ibs. of torque. Punch the shield of the locknut
into the outside keyway of the pinion.
Reassembling Right-Angle Gear Box Assembly.
This is the longest and most complicated of the
reassemblies. Pay special attention to the order of
the procedures which follow.
1. Check the keyways on the drive shaft. If
necessary, remove any burrs with a mill file.
2. Install the drive shaft oil seal on the drive shaft,
with the lip edge facing the bearing.
3. Press the drive shaft upper bearing far enough
onto the shaft to make room for the remaining parts.
4. Install the spacer, the high-speed drive gear, and
the low-speed drive gear. The long hubs of the two
gears face each other.
9. Install the Counter Shaft Bottom Bearing. Install

the driven gear, key, and retaining ring.
10. Install the countershaft assembly, the bevel gear
shaft assembly, the right-angle gear box cover and
gasket.
11. Install the upper bearing cage assembly and the
snap ring on the bevel gear shaft only. Leave off the
upper bearing cover temporarily.
12. Install the bevel pinion cage assembly with the
correct number of shims to give full tooth contact, as
illustrated in Figure 40. The bevel gear inspection
hole has been drilled in the side of the case for the
purpose of viewing this alignment. (Figure 41).
13. After the horizontal alignment of the bevel gear
and bevel pinion has been established, use the
upper bearing cage shims to adjust the backlash in
these two gears. While making this adjustment it is
necessary to tightly screw down the upper bearing
cover. Lock the bevel gear with a screw-driver, and
feel the backlash in the pinion. Rotate the bevel gear
one entire revolution to ensure that there are no tight
spots. The backlash should be 0.003"-0.005".
15. The grease capacity of the right-angle gear box

is about five pounds. To fill a dry case, install a
grease fitting in the inspection hole; remove one of
the bearing plate capscrews farthest from the grease
fitting; pump in grease until it comes out of the
capscrew hole. If a grease gun is not available, it will
be necessary to remove the gear case cover and
pack grease into the corners by hand.
REPLACING SUBASSEMBLIES ON TONGS
Replacing Transmission Sub-assembly. Like the
right-angle gear box assembly above, replacement
of the transmission subassembly is an extensive
procedure. Again, pay special attention to the order
of the steps given below.
1. Install the low-speed driven gear and thrust
washer as shown in Figure 27.
2. Add to the gear shift shaft: one O ring and one
gear shift handle next to the O ring.
3. When the gear shift shaft and handle are pushed
through the case, add: the gear shift actuator yoke,
the key, and the second O ring; the gear shift
handle lock pins and springs; the second gear shift
handle. The keyway offset in the yoke should be
down. Make up extra tightly the nuts holding the
gear shift handles. Be sure to install the nut retaining
cotters.
4. Center the yoke in the case.
14. After the proper backlash has been found, use
the same thickness of shims for the counter shaft
(on the cage assembly). This will then give full tooth
contact on the other gears in the case.
5. Install the gear shift fingers and the high-speed

driven gear. The finger offset should be down.
6. Set the transmission in high gear. Lay a scale
across the case (without a gasket) and measure to
the high-speed driven gear as shown in Figure 42.
This measurement should be 1/32"-1/16" down from
the top of the case.
7. Shift the transmission into low gear and center the
gears in the case. The high-speed driven gear must
seat fully into the low-speed driven gear.
9. Affix the transmission case cover gasket (Figure

44) to the lower case using either grease or cement.
NOTE: The transmission must shift hard enough to

ensure that it will not drop out of high gear while
running. If the gears do not position correctly in
Items 6 and 7 above, see the Trouble Shooting
section of this manual (under the heading
Transmission Jumps Out of Gear) for information
on adjusting the shift handles.
8. Before attempting to install the right-angle gear
box assembly in the transmission case, check both
snap ring grooves on the drive shaft, and the sliding
gear shaft. If the snap rings do not close properly or
turn freely in the grooves, it is possible to realign the
grooves with a knife edge file as in Figure 43. Roll
the shaft as 'it is filed and hold the file square so it
will not round the edge of the groove.
10. With the tong set in low gear, carefully center the
gears and the thrust washer. Install the right-angle
gear box assembly, as shown in Figures 44 and 45.
First, position the sliding gear shaft into the square
of the high-speed driven gear. It may then be
necessary to turn the gears slightly with the chain
sprocket in order to mesh the gears inside the
transmission. A misalignment is almost certain to be
present at this point: it occurs at the place where the
sliding gear shaft enters the thrust washer, which is
positioned under the low-speed driven gear.
Replacing Gripping Mechanism Subassembly.

Set the outer ring assembly in the frame, keeping
the brake drum up. With the outer ring assembly
turned toward each of the six roller stations, install
each idler roller through the opening of the outer
ring.
NOTE:
1. The sealed side of the bearing will always be at
the open end of the roller.
2. The shaft will have the grease fitting at the end
opposite from the sealed side of the bearing.
3. The two back idler rollers have the open end of
the roller up. The shafts are short and fasten to the
frame only, with the grease fittings on the bottom of
the frame. Since 1972, the two rear shafts have
been keyed.
11. Drive in the dowel pins (Figure 47) and tighten
down the right-angle gear box with five capscrews.
12. Turn the tong over and install the sliding gear
shaft and the drive shaft lower bearings as shown in
Figure 48.
13. Carefully install the snap rings. Do not spread
the snap rings more than necessary to get them
over the shaft because they are easily sprung out of
shape. Make sure that they are well seated, that
they turn freely, and are not loose. It may be
necessary to pry up on the drive sprocket in order to
get the sliding gear shaft far enough through the
bearing to get the snap ring on it.
14. Install the bottom bearing plates and gaskets.
4. The two front rollers have the open end of the

roller down. The grease fittings are up. Since 1974,
the two front rollers have been smaller O.D. than the
rear rollers.
5. The open end of the middle rollers (idler sprocket
roller) is down.
6. The open end of the idler sprocket is up. The
open end of this sprocket is covered with the spacer
as shown in Figure 39. There are no other spacers
on this shaft.
The remainder of the assembly is replaced the same
as on pages 19 -21, Changing Brake Band On Older
Model Tongs, at the beginning of this section.
