CHANGING THE TUBING TONG BRAKE BAND
Align the opening of the inner and outer rings with the opening in the tong frame. Remove the two
cap screws from the brake band cover plate. Apply grease liberally to the lining of the new brake
band and to the inside of the eye on each end of the band. Put the new brake band on the inner ring
and remove the wooden spacer. If the new brake band does not have a spacer, a piece of wood 5 ½”
long can be inserted. The brake band cover can then be closed and the two cap screws installed.
NOTE: When the cover plate is down, ensure that the two brake pins in the cover plate enter the eye
openings at each end of the brake band.
