THE DOOR IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE TONG. IT IS
IMPERATIVE TO KEEP A SECURE FIT AT THE DOOR IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN PROPER GEAR
ALIGNMENT, AND TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE GEAR TRAIN WHEN
OPERATING THE TONG AT SPECIFIED TORQUE. A CLOSED DOOR ALSO ENSURES SAFETY OF
OPERATING PERSONNEL.
