OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
THE VERSATILE SCORPION 1500-SSC IS DESIGNED TO WORK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. IT IS
AN IDEAL TOOL FOR ANY DRILLING RIG, OIL FIELD, DOWN-HOLE TOOL SHOP, WATER WELL
DRILLING, WIRE LINE, DIRECTIONAL DRILLING AND ANY PLACE A HIGH TORQUE BREAK-OUT /
MAKE-UP TOOL IS NEEDED.
SAFE – NO MORE WILD CHAINS CRUSHING FINGERS

Unlike manual tongs, the SCORPION has no cables and chains that swing wildly and pose significant risk to
your personell. The hydraulic chain tong is equipped with steel guarded safety handles that keep fingers out of
harms way.
CONVENIENT – Easy 2 man operation

Reduce labor costs by using an efficient machine that only requires 2 people to position and operate
EASY – Self contained, no need for external backup or attachment

The SCORPION is self contained and can operate without the need for an external brace or being attached to
the rig floor.
FLEXIBLE – can work on pipe with 2 different sizes

The SCORPION is the most flexible hydraulic tong, being able to hold a joint with different pipe O.D. The
distance between the arms can also be adjusted to accommodate larger tools
ADAPTABLE – can be used while suspended or free standing

The SCORPION SSC can be used as a free standing machine or suspended to reach a joint that is higher up.
ECONOMICAL – use the same machine for a wide range of pipe sizes
The same SCORPION can be used on pipe OD from 21/2” through 16”, by simply adding, accessories, links
and replacing jaws We also offer bit breakers and
POWER – available in electric, gas, diesel, pneumatic or hydraulic

The SCORPION is powered directly from the rigs hydraulic system or through an optional power pack. We
manufacture power packs with gas, diesel, electric and pneumatic engines.
TORQUE – up to 75,000 ft-Lbs of Break-out torque

With an adjustable torque up to 75,000 ft-Lbs of Break-out torque, this machine has the muscle to do the job.
INNOVATION – TCS, electronic Torque Control System available

This innovative new electronic monitoring system can accurately monitor and log each operation. The logs can
be accessed via LAN or GSM.

PREPARATION
The following steps are critical to a successful job.
1. Refer to the chart #1 below and choose the correct jaw size to be used
2. Insert the correct size jaw into both arms of the SSC. Follow the instructions below
3. Determine the correct number of links needed on each chain to fit the pipe O.D that you
are working on. See chart #2. Add or remove links as described in the instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE JAW SET IN ARM
1. The jaws in the Scorpion arm slide into a tee slot and are secured
by a retaining bolt.
2. To change out a jaw set, #2. Remove the Hex nut #11 from the

NOTE:
Unit comes compete with seven (7) links per chain. To accommodate the required O.D., simply
add or remove links as indicated above.
If Cylinder Rod is extended too far – more than 2 inches, simply add a link to the chain to
prevent cylinder rod from bending.
INSTRUCTIONS ON ADDING LINKS

Tools required: Soft face mallet, pliers, round and flat chisel, wrench, safety glasses & gloves
1. Refer to chart # 2 on page 16 to select the correct number of links for the size tool you
are working on.
2. Put on safety glasses and gloves. Make sure that Scorpion is not connected to
any power source and that you are in a safe work area.
3. Remove the “end link” (3) by removing the snap ring (6). Then remove the pin (6). It
may be necessary to use a rubber mallet and round chisel to extract the pin bolt.
4. To remove a link, repeat step 3 above but this time removing a “standard” link (2).
5. To add a link, make sure you use the correct link and insert the smaller end into the
space at the end of the last link. Align the holes and insert a pin (6)
6. Insert the snap ring (6)
7. Replace the “end” link using the steps above.
8. Check to ensure that all links are correctly oriented and that their tong dies are in place
and not damaged.
9. Both chains should be checked often for broken or missing parts.

OPERATION
NOTE: * MAKE-UP AND BREAK-OUT ARE USED INTERCHANGEABLY WHEN REFERING TO THE TOP ARM.
Operational outline
1. The Scorpion is equipped with a Make-Up arm and a Back-Up arm.

The Back-up arm is fixed and is used to attach the Scorpion to the tool as well as
clamp the tool in place so the joint can be made or broken.
The Make-Up arm is the arm that “does the work”. It “Makes-Up” when it retracts
and “Breaks-Out” when extended.
2. The Make-Up arm is “Floated” and can swing in either direction as well as forward and
backward to allow easy alignment with the tool when it is clamped in place by the Back-
Up arm.
3. To achieve the best grip, the chain on each arm is tightened by using the chain cylinder.
The rod of the chain cylinder should be exposed no less than ½” and no more than
2” for optimal performance. If the rod is extended beyond 2”, an additional link should
be used on the chain. (see the chart on page 5 for correct sizing)
4. The pressure of the chain cylinders is independent of the pressure for the Make-Up
cylinder, thus ensuring a better grip on the tool. The pressure on the Make-Up cylinder
can be adjusted to achieve the desired torque.
5. Although the spacing between the Back-Up arm and the Make-Up arm can be adjusted
allowing for more flexibility in tool size and O.D., it is recommended for optimum
performance and higher torque that this spacing be kept as close as possible.
6. When using the Scorpion on tools smaller than the unit‟s capacity:
Replace the chain links and the jaw sizes with the “Reducer Package”.
The Reducer Package consists of a frame and a jaw set. See chart for sizes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION
1. Determine the correct number of links per chain required to run O.D. range. See the
chart provided. To add or remove links, follow the instructions on page 8 in this service
manual
2. For best results and proper operation, it is most important to maintain a secure grip on
the tool. To ensure the best grip:
Make sure that the correct number of links are used in each chain for the tool O.D that is
being worked on.Refer to the chart provided on page 5. Add or remove links if
necessary, when changing tool O.D.
Use the correct jaw size for the pipe O.D that is being worked on. See the chart on page
5 for sizing selection.
3. Wrap the Back-up arm‟s chain around the tool and tighten the chain cylinder. The
cylinder rod will need to be pulled in as much as possible leaving not less than one-
quarter inch (½”) exposed.
4. If after tightening the chain, the rod is extended more than 2”, an extra link will need to
be added. Visually inspect the contact between the tool to the jaw tong dies and the link
tong dies.
5. To hook up the Make-Up arm, first wrap the Make-Up arm‟s chain around the tool and
hook it up to the chain cylinder with the pin tee.
6. Slightly tighten the chain by the lever on the control valve, and then check the tool
position on the jaws again. Make sure it fits into the jaw‟s tong dies.
7. When the fit is correct, tighten the chain completely by using the control valve.
10. It is recommended to work the arms as close as possible to each other. Each
of the arms carries a replacement jaw and the correct jaw O.D. size is very important to
ensure proper use of the unit.
NOTE:
For optimum performance and reduced wear on machine and drill pipe, the correct jaw size
should always be used
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BREAKOUT/MAKEUP OPERATIONS
1. For Breakout or Makeup, operate the red lever on the control valve as marked.
2. The Make-Up arm will rotate to the desired direction and will Breakout or Makeup the
joint, as needed.
3. During the operation, maintain good contact between the jaw and link dies and the tool
at all times.
4. If the tool moves away from the jaw, apply the pressure on the chain cylinder from the
control valve and re-adjust the tool position toward the jaw, when and if needed.
5. The same procedure is required for the horizontal or vertical position.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
BREAK OUT/MAKE UP TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

In order to increase the Scorpion Break Out Torque capacity, the unit‟s hydraulic pressure will
need to be increased by adjusting the control valve‟s relief valve (the relief valve within
the
control valve).
To adjust the hydraulic pressure, first turn nut “A” counter clockwise and then turn setscrew “B”
with Allen wrench clockwise as needed.
Check the pressure by retracting the break out cylinder completely all the way in and read the
pressure gauge for maximum pressure. If additional pressure is required, keep turning the
setscrew.
When the correct pressure has been achieved, secure the setscrew in position by locking it with
the nut “A” by turning it clockwise.
