equipment. Such interference could cause personnel to be trapped
or crushed by equipment.
i Keep the working envelope/zone of the equipment free from
personnel.
1
General Information
1-6
When replacing components
During disassembly and reassembly of any equipment, verify
all components such as cables, hoses, etc. are tagged and
labeled to ensure reinstalling the components correctly.
Replace failed or damaged components with Varco certified
parts. Failure to do so could result in a hazard, equipment
damage, or personal injury.
During routine maintenance
Equipment must be maintained on a regular basis. See the body of
the service manual for maintenance recommendations.
i
Failure to conduct regular maintenance can result in a hazard,
equipment damage, or injury to personnel.
Visibility of equipment operation
Clear, unobstructed visibility of all equipment functions is critical to
safe operation. Do not block or impair the equipment operators
field of view. In cases where this is not possible, the customer must
install video cameras to ensure adequate visibility.
Proper use of equipment
Varco equipment is designed for specific functions and applications
and should be used only for the intended purpose.
i Do not hoist personnel using this equipment.

ST-80 wrench assembly
The ST-80 uses a combination spinning and torque wrench. The
dies of the upper jaws are located in between the spinner rollers.
The spinner rollers grip the pipe and spin in connections with a
torque of 1,750 ft lb.
After spinning, the torque wrench can torque the connection with a
maximum torque of 60,000 ft lb. The wrench can break out
connections with a maximum torque of 80,000 ft lb.

Use the following procedure to adjust the
ST-80 make up torque:
1. Back the adjustment knob on the
pressure reducing valve (PRV) all of the
way out.
Turning the PRV adjustment knob counter
clockwise decreases torque. Turning the
PRV adjustment knob clockwise increases
the torque.
2. Clamp onto a tubular.
3. Spin the connection in.
4. Torque the connection.
5. While holding the torque, turn the PRV
adjustment knob clockwise while
watching the torque gauge until the
desired torque is achieved.
Do not adjust the torque if one of the
torque cylinders is at its end of stroke.
6. Position the reference indicator (red
needle) on the torque gauge at the
desired torque value.

Storing the ST-80
Palletize the ST-80 for indoor storage. A cargo container is
appropriate for indoor or outdoor storage.
Avoid wide temperature and humidity variations. The ideal
environment for storing the ST-80 is clean and dry with an ambient
temperature of 60F (16C). If high humidity is unavoidable, Varco
recommends storing the ST-80 at 70F (21C).
All exposed, unpainted metal surfaces are coated with rust
preventive at the factory prior to shipment. Coat all unpainted metal
surfaces with rust preventive prior to storage or transport.
Cover all openings to prevent water or dust from entering. Varco
does not recommend using silica or dehydrating agents.
When the ST-80 is not being used for more than 3 months, perform
the following:
1. Clean the ST-80.
2. Grease the ST-80 as described in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
3. Clean and cap all hydraulic quick disconnects (QDs).
i
Varco recommends Kendall Grade 5 (GE-D6C6A1) rust preventive,
or an equivalent.
! Replace the shipping pin prior to storage and/or moving the
ST-80.

Inspection and lubrication
Inspecting hardware and fittings
Visually inspect the ST-80 for loose or missing hardware and
fittings daily. Make sure all safety wire is undamaged.
Check the inline pressure filter daily. Replace as necessary if the
indicator is red.
Lubricating the ST-80
The lubrication intervals described in this manual are based on
lubricant supplier recommendations. Severe conditions such as
extreme loads or temperature, corrosive atmosphere, etc., may
require more frequent lubrication.
Worn bushings, binding parts, rust accumulations, and other
abnormal conditions indicate more frequent lubrication is
necessary. Be careful not to over lubricate parts. For example, too
much grease forced into a fitting can pop out a bearing seal. Over
lubrication can also affect safety since over lubricated parts can
drip, creating a potential slipping hazard for personnel.
Apply grease daily to all grease fittings as shown on the following
page.

Disassembly and assembly
Precautions
! Only authorized Varco repair technicians should perform the
following major disassembly and assembly procedures.
! Transport hydraulic components to a clean, dust-free service
area before disassembling for service.
i
Disassembly pr ocedur es ar e usually per for med when r eplacing
damaged components that ar e causing a tool function to fail.
Whenever per for ming a disassembly , practice pr eventive
maintenance by:
Cleaning and inspecting all disassembled parts.
Replacing all worn and damaged parts before they can cause
another failure.
Installing thread protectors on exposed threads.
!
Tor que all fasteners to the limits given in DS 00008 (Design
Specification Design T or que Standar d) unless an alter native tor que
value is given in the pr ocedur e.
Release all hydraulic oil pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil under
pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious injury.
Before opening the hydraulic system, thoroughly clean
the work area, and maintain system cleanliness by
promptly capping all disconnected lines. Dirt is
extremely harmful to hydraulic system components
and can cause equipment failure and subsequent
injury to personnel.

Troubleshooting the ST-80
i
When testing the ST -80 without pipe , reduce the o verall pressure
setting to 250 psi.
Make sure all hydraulic lines are isolated and the ball
valve is closed before ANY work is carried out on the
ST-80.
When troubleshooting the ST-80, make sure the hydrualic pressure
is between 2,000 and 2,600 psi at the inlet of the manifold. Check
the back pressure of the tank line (make sure the pressure does not
exceed 30 psi).
Make sure that all hoses and QDs are properly connected.
Check to see if oil leakage is visible at the manifold, QDs or hoses.
Make sure the tool is lubricated per the Maintenance section of this
manual.
Refer to the theory of operation and schematic when
troubleshooting specific ST-80 components or functions.
