Introduction
The Torquemaster is a self-contained hydraulic
makeup and breakout machine designed for fast, safe,
and dependable maintenance of tools and motors in
either workshop or drill site locations.
Introduction
The unit may be operated by one person from a self-contained
hydraulic control console.
The control console contains the hydraulic reservoir, electric
motor and controls, hydraulic control valves, direct reading
torque and pressure gauges.

Torquemaster Startup Procedure Checklist

1.Personal protective equipment (PPE).
Hardhat
Safety Glasses
Ear protection
Coveralls
Gloves
Safety Boots
2.Ensure leveling jacks are lowered.
3.Ensure push/pull is retracted.
4.Make sure spinner is unclamped.
5.Torque control valve backed out.
6.Independent clamp control valve backed
out.
Torquemaster Startup Procedure Checklist
Ensure high and low torque gauges at zero.
All console levers in neutral position.

Check oil level and fill as required.
Make sure cylinders are fully retracted.
Area visual check for any safety hazards.

Ensure clamp cylinders are retracted and inspect
tong dies.
Inspect chrome on cylinders and check for any
damage.
Review of three foot rule.
All personnel must be adhere to three foot rule while

machine is in operation.
Review of Pinch Points.

Demonstration of safely lowering and raising
push/pull.
Due to the length of some tools/ work pieces the

push/pull may have to be lowered while loading and
unloading.
Tool Loading
Retract clamp, torque cylinders and traverse
tailstock close to headstock.
Shut down machine.
Recommended to have two people for loading.
Inspect the tool to be worked on, taking into account
its approximate weight.
Use sling or chains with an adequate load rating and
good condition.
Find the balance point of the tool.
Choke with sling(s) or chain(s) (do not cradle).
Lift to check balance of tool (adjust if necessary).
Slowly guide the tool/work piece into BOM.
Lower onto jacks and unhook chains-remove slings.
Move hoist or crane away from Torquemaster
operating area.
Start machine, raise jacks and either push tool into
machine or traverse back tailstock, clamp and use
tailstock to move tool into machine. (must have
heavy duty tailstock) Clamp Headstock.
Clamping Tools
1. Before clamping on a tool, make sure that the torque control
valve and optional/ independent clamp controls are backed off
all the way.
2. Take into consideration the wall thickness of the tool and area
to be clamped on.
3. Once it is determined to be safe, be sure to clamp headstock
end first.
4. Position tailstock where it needs to be to clamp onto tool.
5. Adjust torque cylinders either in make or break position
depending on the operation needed to be performed.
6. Clamp tailstock cylinders and proceed with make or break
torque procedure.
Clamping Tools
NOTE
When clamping tools that are made of harder materials, be sure
to adjust the clamp pressure via the torque control valve, or
independent clamp control valve, higher than the actual make up
or break out torque. This will ensure the tong dies are well set
into the tool, eliminating slippage and tool damage. Be sure to
back out valve(s) when finished.
