Petol U6184T Hydra-Tork Description
The U6184T Petol Hydra-Tork unit was designed for making up and breaking out downhole
tools. It is rated for operation on 4-1/2” to 10-3/4” diameters with a maximum working load
of 37,300 ft-lbs depending on the diameter. See the chart on the following page for specific
torque ratings. The unit may be operated in any position (horizontal or inclined) and is
totally portable.
The Petol Drill Pipe Tongs are adjusted to the different diameters within their range by
adjusting the chain screw nut for fine adjustment and by adding or removing sections of
chain for the coarse adjustment.
The U6184T also offers the following features:
Two integral vee-saddles mounted on the hydra-tork base for support.
Can be operated with any commercially available hydraulic power unit capable of
delivering 3000-psi pressure.
A breakdown base, which allows the unit to be quickly disassembled and assembled
without tools for easy transport.

Safe Practices and Procedures
Responsibility
“It is the responsibility of the employer to train the employee in the proper selection and
usage of tools, chains, etc., and to ensure that they are selected and used in that manner. In
many instances, injury results because it is assumed that anybody knows how to use common
hand tools. Observations and the record show that this is not the case. A part of every job
instruction program should therefore be detailed training in the proper use of hand tools (and
of all other special tools and equipment needed to accomplish the job).” - (Source: National
Safety Council)
“Employers are responsible for the safe condition of tools and equipment used by employees,
including tools and equipment which may be furnished by employees.” - (Source: OSHA
1910.242A)
Replacement Parts
Use only PETOL & TITAN replacement parts - no other parts are of comparable strength,
quality and interchangeability.
Safety
While we pride ourselves on the quality and dependability we build into GEARENCH tools
and products, we caution users that it is only prudent to know and follow the simple rules of
safety when using our products, or anyone else’s.
Always follow safe practices and procedures in accordance with the recommendations of
OSHA, The National Safety Council (NSC), The Hand Tools Institute (HTI), The National
Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM), The International Association of Drilling
Contractors (IADC), Etc. All applicable Governmental rules, regulations or restrictions, now
in effect or which may be promulgated, take precedence over the suggestions in this
publication. The information in this publication is designed to supplement standard safe
practices and procedures, not in lieu of, or replacement thereof.

Safe Practices
Failure to observe one or more of the following five safe practices accounts for most hand
and powered tool accidents:
1. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES TO PROTECT EYES
2. SELECT THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB
3. KEEP TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION
4. USE TOOLS CORRECTLY
5. KEEP TOOLS IN A SAFE PLACE
Persons in any area where hand or powered tools are being used must always wear safety
goggles.
Never strike wrenches and tools with hammers or other objects.
All tools should be kept clean, inspected on a regular basis, and replaced when they show
signs of wear.
Be especially careful not to place yourself in a position that could result in bodily injury in
the event of a failure. See diagram on page 19.
