Petol ZB1260U Unit Description

The ZB1260U Petol Friction Breakout Unit was designed for making up and breaking out downhole pumps and specialty downhole tools requiring accurate torque and no marking. The unit is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, which may be powered by any hydraulic power source capable of producing up to 5000 psi.

The unit may be used with any pump shop equipment manufactured by Gearench. The unit may be configured in any fashion using floor plates, pump stands, and extension stands for working on tools of any length.

Warning:

The unit should not be operated at a pressure above 5000 psi. The tong or wrench being used with the cylinder may have a torque rating lower than 5000 foot-pounds in which case the maximum operating pressure will be less. Applying too much pressure for the tong or wrench may result in damage to the tong or wrench and possibly in injury to personnel.

What Will We Do To Correct Problems

Warranted products will be repaired or replaced, at GEARENCH’s option, and returned at no charge to you, the original purchaser; or, if after three attempts at repair or replacement during the warranty period, the product defect in material or workmanship persists, you can elect to receive a full refund of your original purchase price for the product.

What Is Not Covered

Defects, failures or conditions that are due to normal wear and tear, abuse or misuse, are not covered by this limited warranty.

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.
