Storage Recommendations
A. Store tong in a clean, dry, ventilated area.
B. Ensure adequate lubrication before placing in storage (See lubrication section of manual).
C. Coat spare moving parts (gears, shafts, etc.) with a good corrosion inhibitor if required to
remain in storage for long periods of time. Store parts in a clean, dry area.
D. Store all o-rings, seals, packings, gaskets, etc. in strong moisture proof, airtight containers.
Ensure that these items are not crushed, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
E. Generously lubricate all bearings (cam followers, roller bearings, etc.) and store in a dust-
free box or container, protected from moisture.
IF PROTECTED STORAGE OF THE TONG IS NOT AVAILABLE (FOR
EXAMPLE, FORCED STORAGE OUTSIDE ON A DRILL SITE IN DUSTY
CONDITIONS), FARR RECOMMENDS TAKING THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. Generously apply grease to all fittings so that excess grease pumped through
bearings acts as a seal against dust.
2. Cover or wrap tong with tarp or plastic to prevent wind-blown dust from getting
into gears. If a tong has been exposed to extreme dust conditions, Farr recom-
mends following these instructions before use:
1. Suspend tong by body lug, remove clutch inspection plate and thoroughly
wash & flush interior with solvent, diesel fuel or equivalent.
2. Attach hydraulic hose and slowly rotate rotary gear, washing teeth of rotary
and idler gears as they become exposed.
3. Wash all sand and grit from cam follower grooves in rotary and cage plates.
4. Wash and lubricate exposed end of shifting shaft.
5. Wash and lightly grease cam surfaces of rotary gear.
6. Grease teeth of rotary gear.
7. Give every grease nipple a few shots of grease to displace any grit or sand
which may have remained in bearings.
