Tong adjustment
Warning! The pipe must NOT contact the side of the chain screw as shown above.
Contact will cause premature breakage of the chain screw and could cause injury or
death. If the chain screw contacts the pipe, the chain MUST be lengthened by adding 2
pitches of chain.
Add or remove chain sections as needed using the splice bolts in the chains. Push on the top
of the jaw to fully compress the spring inside the jaw. Adjust the chain screw nut so that the
chain is as tight as possible and fit into the lugs in the jaw.
