Petol U8184 Hydra-Tork Description
The U8184 Petol Hydra-Tork unit was designed for making up and breaking out downhole tools. It is rated for operation on 4” to 14” diameters with a maximum working load of up to 95,000 ft-lbs depending upon diameter. See the table 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 U8184 also offers the following features:
The tong cylinder and backup tong are mounted on separate tracks for switching from make up to break out. The tong slides utilize lead screws for adjusting the position of the tongs. The lead screws are powered by a hydraulic motor. The tongs are raised and lowered by an auxiliary lift handle (included).
Two adjustable vee-saddles mounted on the hydra-tork base for support. The vee-saddles are also mounted on a track for easy adjustment.
The unit can be operated with any commercially available hydraulic power unit capable of delivering 5000 psi pressure.

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 20.
READ SAFE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL, CATALOG INFORMATION, AND PRODUCT LABELING PRIOR TO OPERATION.
Responsibility of Distributors
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASERS OF GEARENCH PRODUCTS TO CONVEY THE INFORMATION IN THIS PUBLICATION AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT, THROUGH THE CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION, DOWN TO AND INCLUDING THE INDIVIDUAL USING THE PRODUCT
NOTE
:
In view of the fact that the actual use determines whether safety requirements have been met, the ultimate responsibility to comply rests with the end user.

Tong and Vise Chain Inspection
The service life of leaf chains can be altered by a variety of adverse operating conditions. The following information discusses the most important of these conditions for consideration when operating or scheduling replacement of leaf chain systems.
Overloading / Shock Loads / Side Loading
Attempting to “inch loads which are beyond the rated capacity of the tool.
Striking the tool with a hammer or other object while force is being exerted in an attempt to loosen a “frozen” joint.
Side pull can be caused by pulling or pushing on the tong in a direction that is not along a perpendicular plane, unleveled mounting of the tong or vise, inadequate support of the part being broken out, and improper seating of the part being broken out in the tong or vise. Improper seating will occur when the diameter of the part is not consistent within the width of the tong or vise jaw.
Environmental Conditions
Wrench chains operate in widely varying environments, from wet outdoor conditions to mildly or highly corrosive industrial atmospheres. They can also be exposed to abrasives such as sand or grit.
The possible effects include:
Moisture - Corrosion and rust reduce chain strength by causing pitting and cracking.
Temperature - Very cold temperatures reduce chain strength by embrittlement.
Chemical Solutions or Vapors - Corrosive attack of the chain components’ grain structure and/or the mechanical connections between the chain components (crevice corrosion) may occur. Cracking often is microscopic. Propagation to complete failure can be eventual or sudden.
Abrasives - Accelerated wearing and scoring of the articulating chain members (pins and plates) may occur, with a corresponding reduction in chain strength. Due to inaccessibility of the bearing surfaces (pin surfaces and plate apertures), wear and scoring are not readily noticeable.
