OCI SIDEWINDER GAS MODELThe OCI Sidewinder Hydraulic Breakout Wrench is designed for breaking loose or tightening drill tooling or any cylindrical object. The Sidewinder has two operational positions providing power for vertical or horizontal breakout or tightening. Chains and arms are positioned horizontally for attaching to vertical drill strings. In this position the Balance Arm can be used to lift the entire Sidewinder with a winch to achieve correct height for jaw location.
By rotating the main frame of the Sidewinder 90 degrees, the machine is now available for use with your work piece in the horizontal position or parallel to the ground. The chains on both arms are tightened by hydraulic cylinders. Links should be added or removed to allow the hydraulic cylinder to be almost retracted when the chain is tight.
The lower arm or the arm on the left side when holding the transport handle is referred to as the FIXED ARM. The other arm is referenced as the MOVEABLE WRENCH ARM. It is possible to slide the fixed arm away from the moveable wrench arm (by removing spacer) but care must be taken to have the jaws/chains as close as possible together under high torque breakouts. Keeping the arm close and the cylinder’s rods retracted lessen the likelihood that the unit will bend, or the cylinder arms be damaged. A word of caution: This unit develops high pressure and high torque.
