Canrig Top Drive Drilling System
Lubrication and Maintenance Component Recommendations Top Drive Gearcase Canrig Top Drives are designed to be used with ISO Industrial EP (Extreme Pressure) Gear Oils. EP oils are high quality, extreme pressure compounded type oils for use in all types of industrial gear sets except those with built-in variable speed type friction drive mechanisms. The use of EP ensures increased unit life under heavily loaded or shock loaded service conditions. The EP oils give superior rust protection to ferrous metal surfaces and are non-corrosive to steel, copper, brass, bronze and other common bearing materials. EP can be used in continuous service, with normal re-lubrication intervals, at temperatures up to 93°C. Above 93°C, the rate of sludging and additive depletion increases and more frequent oil changes may become necessary. Oil should be changed at planned intervals of 60 days or 1000 drilling hours or less. Oil should never be permitted to become visibly contaminated with mud or water, which will cause rapid bearing failure. If there is any doubt about the oil quality, it should be changed even though the change interval has not expired. Refer to Gearcase Capacity Chart for oil quantities.

* NOTE:
This optimum oil level is approximately to the bottom of the gearcase ‘snout’ as viewed in the sight tube. The oil level should not be high enough to submerge the gears in the cluster assembly ‘snout’.
When operating a Canrig Top Drive unit in humid climates or when using corrosive drilling fluids (for example: high brine content) visually check the lubrication oil on a weekly basis for water contamination. Samples should also be taken for a visual examination. The gearcase can be drained by removing the drain plug in the bottom of the gearcase. Magnetic plugs are located on the bottom of the gearcase and in the Y-strainer to catch small metallic wear particles. An appreciable accumulation of such particles can be a clue to incipient bearing failure.

Revision 05.03
Subsection 4A: Maintenance Check the breather (located on the bonnet) on a weekly basis to ensure that they are not plugged. Replace as required. Motor seal damage may occur if pressure is allowed to build in the gearcase. Top Drive Guides Light grease or grease mixed with oil can occasionally be applied to the Torque Guide rails to improve sliding performance. Top Drive Brakes The brake fluid reservoir should be visually checked on a daily basis. A sudden drop in oil level may indicate worn components. Be sure to use only mineral-based oil in the brake system (i.e. hydraulic oil). Also refer to the Top Drive Disc Brake inspection procedure in Subsection 4B of this Manual. Handler Rotate Gearbox Planetary Gearbox – Canrig Part # M15-1002-010 Use Spartan® EP GR68 gear oil or equivalent. Oil should be changed for the first time after 500 working hours. Subsequent changes should be done after every 2000 to 4000 hours or after 6 months. Check oil level every month.
CAUTION:
New gearbox must be filled with oil prior to use.
Rotary Torque Boost Planetary Gearbox – Canrig Part # M15-1001-010 Use Spartan® EP GR68 gear oil or equivalent. Oil should be changed for the first time after 500 working hours. Subsequent changes should be done after every 2000 to 4000 hours or after 6 months. Check oil level monthly.

Product Application Sheet Canrig All-Season Gear Oil Synthetic Multipurpose Gear Lubricant, Api Gl-5 Canrig All-Season Gear Oil is a synthetic-based multipurpose, extreme pressure, API GL-5 gear lubricant. It is compounded to meet the severe lubrication requirements of equipment. It may also be used anywhere the manufacturer specifies API GL-5 gear oil. Canrig AllSeason Oil provides outstanding service over a wide temperature range and has excellent durability at elevated temperatures. It meets the requirements of API GL-5 and MT-1, as well as MIL-PRF-2105E and MIL-L-2105D. Description Canrig All-Season Gear Oil is formulated with synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and selected additives that provide extreme pressure properties, oxidation resistance, rust and corrosion protection, and foam resistance. The synthetic base oils have excellent thermal stability at elevated temperatures and outstanding low temperature properties. These features provide for extended drain service and superior year-round performance exceeding that of conventional hypoid gear lubricants. Canrig All-Season Gear Oil provides excellent performance in transmissions operating under varying conditions of speed, load, temperature, and torque. It is inhibited to minimize deposits and viscosity increase due to oxidation at high temperatures. It protects metal parts against rust and corrosion and is non-corrosive to steel or bronze under normal operating conditions. A foam inhibitor prevents excessive foam buildup that can interfere with proper lubrication. Typical Applications ● Conventional and limited-slip differentials in passenger cars, light trucks, and heavyduty trucks. ● Differentials, final drives, and transfer cases of heavy equipment. ● Conventional manual transmissions for which the manufacturer specifies an API GL5 gear oil. ● Hypoid gear sets. ● All parts normally lubricated by automotive gear oil, such as manual steering gears, universal joints, and rear wheel bearings. ● Industrial reduction gears where extreme pressure gear oils are specified.

Subsection 4A: Maintenance
Recommended Stacking Procedures for Long Term Storage The following data and procedures are intended to assist in properly maintaining the TopDrive if it is to be stored or “stacked” for some period of time. Proper maintenance during storage will reduce “re-start” time and assure more trouble-free operation. Stacking Enough beams should be provided to give normal support to the Top Drive/Torque Guide and TDSU and be high enough to avoid having accumulated or run off water reach the equipment. A drained location is preferable so that water will not remain under the equipment and cause abnormal dampness. Cleaning Mud, adhering dirt, and other foreign matter of a type that will hold moisture should be removed. If cleaning is done with steam or with mineral spirits, care should be taken to avoid washing lubricating oil or grease from unpainted surfaces unless it is to be replaced or a preservative compound applied. If, in cleaning, the lubricant is removed from close fitting elements, they should be rotated after new lubricant or a preservative has been applied so that it will work into the fits. Apply touch-up paint to all areas where paint has been removed. Loose paint and rust should be wire brushed away, the surface cleaned and the paint (primer) applied to a dry surface. Sealing Openings In general all openings that allow moisture to enter an area and be trapped should be sealed. Adhesive waterproof tape is convenient to use and effective. (Use Kendall No. 231 or equivalent. Do not use duct tape; it will only seal for a short length of time). It should be applied over a cleaned surface. Small openings can be covered by tape alone, or by tape and a plastic sheet, unsupported. Large openings may require support such as plywood cut to opening size, covered by plastic and/or tape.
Revision 05.03

Canrig Top Drive Drilling System Rust Prevention The most troublesome problem encountered during storage is rust and corrosion. Humid conditions associated with a top-drive system sitting idle can create considerable maintenance problems. Space heaters are provided in the traction motor. Space heaters should be on at all times, if practical. They offer the best method of stopping rust in electrical equipment and metal parts that cannot be coated. A film of lubricant can best protect gearing and other rotating components. The film can be maintained by manually coating the parts and by periodic operation. All gears and drives ride on roller or ball bearings that need regular greasing to drive out moisture and keep the rollers and races grease coated. Condensation in the gearboxes will need to be drained periodically. Finally, operation (or rotating) of the equipment for a short time helps to distribute oil and grease and re-coat all gearing for improved rust protection. All the above are covered in further detail. These measures are neither expensive nor time consuming and offer the best method of preventing problems during and after a re-start. Please contact Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd. if you have any questions or need further information.
WARNING: Cleaning solvents may be toxic and/or flammable. They can cause serious or fatal injury if used without proper precautions. For safety: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Do not inhale solvent fumes. Use solvents only in adequately ventilated areas. Avoid contact of solvent with skin. Do not expose solvent to flame or sparks. Observe caution statements issued by the manufacturer of the solvent.

Revision 05.03
Subsection 4A: Maintenance
Extended Storage – Top Drive Unit If the Top Drive unit is to be stored (stacked) for any extended length of time before use, precautions should be taken using the following guidelines. General 1. Indoor storage is preferred whenever possible. If outside storage is necessary, ensure the Top Drive is properly supported (preferably on its torque guide), and is well away from adverse conditions, e.g. salt water spray, sand, shot blast operations, etc. 2. An all around visual inspection should be given to the exterior of the top drive. All areas where the paint has worn off or where there are signs of rust forming should be cleaned and painted or have a rust inhibitor applied. Recoat with rust inhibiting oil when necessary. Water-resistant grease should be applied to all grease nipples. Fill grease nipple openings.
Bearings, Housing, & Gearcase 1. For long term storage, use oil with strong adhesion properties (Esso Sebis K – 68 or equivalent). 2. Fill to ½ inch below the top of the gearcase sight glass with the proper oil, and run for 10 to 15 min before laying down the Top Drive. 3. If stored outside, rotate every month; if inside every three months.
Torque Boost & Handler Rotate Gear Boxes 1. After the top drive is rigged down, completely fill (through their breather ports) both gearboxes with gear oil containing a rust inhibitor additive.
Link Support 1. Bleed the pressure off while the top drive is still standing so the link support will settle to its lowest possible point. 2. Coat the upper section of the outer sleeve with rust inhibitor.
Link Tilt Cylinders 1. Fully retract the link tilt cylinders. 2. Spray pins and bushings with rust inhibitor. Revision 05.03
4-19
Canrig Top Drive Drilling System Handler Lock 1. Preferably store the top drive with the handler in the unlocked position. Pins 1. Coat all exposed areas of pins with rust inhibitor. Junction Boxes 1. Ensure that the door and strain reliefs are secured tightly. 2. Seal any other openings to provide a watertight enclosure. 3. Add moisture-absorbing pads inside each junction box.
Local Blower 1. Cover blower intake and outlet (where it mates to the drilling motor) as well as all drain holes with plastic and a wide adhesive waterproof tape. Quill 1. For extended storage it is recommended that the washpipe packing assembly be removed, cleaned, liberally coated with grease and reassembled to the Top Drive. 2. The tool joint should be cleaned, re-doped, and thread protector installed.
4-20
Revision 05.03
Subsection 4A: Maintenance Top Drive Drilling Motor Indoor storage of the drilling motor is preferred. A dry ambient temperature of 60ºF is ideal if possible. In a high humidity environment an ambient of 70ºF is recommended. Every attempt should be made to avoid widely varying temperatures and high humidity. If stored outdoors, a protective cover acting as an umbrella should be used to prevent entrance of rain, dust, etc. The drilling motor is equipped with an AC space heater (120VAC, 210W). These heaters should be energized to keep the internal machine temperature above ambient temperature, preventing condensation and sweating. All exposed machined steel parts and surfaces should be examined for rust. Rust should be removed using fine abrasive paper. Methanol should be used to remove all residues. Extreme care should be taken not to damage critical machined surfaces such as the tapered shaft surface while removing rust. The surfaces should be coated with a rust inhibitor. Brushes should be removed from their holders and clamped under the spring clips to prevent corrosion of the commutator surface as a result of moisture absorption by the carbon. Do not completely seal the motor, but cover major vent areas including the blower inlet opening with waterproof tape. Leave enough opening so the machine can breathe – i.e., moist air is not trapped. The intention is to prevent entrance of water, dust, small animals, but not to seal airtight. We do not recommend use of silica gel or dehydrating agents. Since the lubricant drains from the top half of bearings during storage, this area is subject to corrosion. The shaft should be rotated periodically to redistribute a protective film. If stored inside, rotate every three months. If outside, every month. Before placing the machine back into service after prolonged storage (1 year or more), bearings should be inspected and repacked with new grease meeting the recommended GE lubrication specification. The machine should be meggered when placed into storage and periodically while in storage (3-month intervals). Keep a record of the megger readings as a rapid decrease in insulation resistance indicates the machine condition is deteriorating and the storage conditions inadequate.

Put lubricant on all joints shown in the lubrication chart of the Caterpillar Engine Operations and Maintenance Guide. 4. If the cooling system is protected with clean, ethylene glycol antifreeze, make sure that it has a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Be sure to completely fill the radiator up to the radiator cap with coolant mixture. Do not leave an air space. If the stored engine will never be subjected to below-freezing temperatures, completely drain the fresh water system; remove the drain plugs from the engine block, oil cooler, heat exchanger body and radiator, if so equipped. If freezing temperatures are possible, follow procedures given in item 4 above. 5. Oil filter elements do not need to be changed. If the lube oil has been used 50 hours or less, leave it in the sump and add VCI-10 at the rate of 3 to 4% by volume. If the lube oil has been used more than 50 hours, change it and add VCI-10 oil at the rate of 3 to 4%. NOTE:
If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough lubricant to add the mixture.
6. Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at cranking speed with throttle control in fuel OFF position, and use a sprayer to add a mixture of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil into the air intake or turbocharger inlet. Re-install the air filter elements. Completely enclose the elements with dark plastic bags and seal them with tape. Replace the air filter covers. Put tape over all openings to seal VCL vapors in the engine. NOTE:
THIS IS CRITICAL TO PREVENT LOSS OF THE PROTECTIVE VAPORS.
7. Use a sprayer to put a mixture of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil into the exhaust openings. Minimum application rate is 5.5 ml per liter (3 oz. Per 1000 cubic inches) of engine displacement. Seal exhaust pipe, including any drain holes in the muffler. 8. Remove the fuel from the secondary fuel filter housing or empty and re-install the fuel filter element to remove any dirt and water. Drain the fuel injection pump (sleeve 4-26
Revision 05.03
Subsection 4A: Maintenance metering only). Clean the primary fuel filter; fill with calibration oil or kerosene and operate the primary pump. This will get clean oil to the secondary fuel filter and any water or dirt from the inside of the fuel tank. Use a spray of 30 ml (1 oz.) of VCI-10 oil per each 30 L (7.50 gal) of tank capacity to prevent rust in the fuel tank. Add 15 ml (per liter of fuel) of commercial biocide (biobor JF) to the fuel. Seal all openings to the tank to prevent evaporation of the fuel and preservative. 9. Remove the fuel nozzles and put 30 ml (1 oz.) of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil in each cylinder. Install fuel nozzles or spark plugs and tighten all fittings to the correct torque. Use a bar (or turning tool) to run the engine over slowly to put the oil on the cylinder walls. 10. Spray a thin amount of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil on the flywheel, ring gear teeth and starter pinion. Install the covers to keep in the VCI-10 vapors. 11. Put a heavy amount of multipurpose grease on all outside parts that move, such as rod threads, ball joints, linkage, etc. Note:
Install all covers and make sure that tape has been installed over all openings, air intake, exhaust openings, flywheel housing, crankcase breathers, dipstick tubes, etc. Make sure all covers are air tight and weatherproof.
12. Under most conditions, it is best to remove the batteries and use them in another application, or put them in storage where they can be checked and electrically charged again when needed. If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops of the batteries until they are clean. Disconnect the battery terminals. Secure the cover over the batteries. 13. Loosen all fan, alternator belts, etc. 14. Attach a tag to the engine with a notation of the date that the unit was preserved. If the engine shows signs of corrosion at the check intervals repeat the protection procedure. It is not necessary to remove the preservative oil mixture before operating the engine. If a compartment under protection of VDL vapors is opened put more VCL mixture in to make up for the vapor loss.
Generators 1. When a generator is in storage, moisture condenses in the windings. To minimize condensation, when possible, store the generator in a dry storage area. Seal all openings with tape. 2. If a brush-type generator (SRCR) is to be in storage for a long time, lift the brushes off the slip ring to prevent damage to the slip ring by chemical action. Attach a tag to the generator stating that the brushes have been lifted. Note: Revision 05.03
Before start-up of a generator use a megohmeter to check insulation resistance for moisture and/or foreign material. 4-27
Canrig Top Drive Drilling System To remove moisture caused by high humidity or dampness, use one of the following methods to dry the generator. •
Put the generator in an oven at a temperature of not more than 185ºF (85ºC) for four hours. Note:
If an oven is used for drying, use a forced air-type rather than a radianttype. Radiant ovens can cause localized overheating.
•
Space heaters of the type used in the Top Drive drilling motor can be installed in the generator. These heaters heat the windings to remove moisture and should be connected at all times in high humidity conditions.
•
Use a canvas enclosure around the generator and heating lamps to increase the ambient temperature. Make an opening in the top of the canvas to release the moisture.
•
Send a low voltage current through the windings to increase the temperature of the windings to 85ºF. Note:
4-28
If there is a possibility that insulation resistance has lowered to a dangerous level, contact Canrig or your nearest Caterpillar dealer.
Revision 05.03
Subsection 4A: Maintenance
Top Drive Re-Commissioning Procedure Prior to putting a “preserved-stacked” Top Drive System back into service, precautions should be taken using the following guidelines: These do not preclude the need to follow the maintenance practices as outlined elsewhere in this manual. Top Drive 1. Drain stacking oil from gearbox and fill to normal operating level with Canrig specified gear oil. Run Top Drive for 10–15 min, drain and refill to normal operating level. 2. Drain and fill the torque boost and handler rotate gear boxes to appropriate level with Canrig specified gear oil. 3. Uncover intake and drain holes on local or remote blower. Test run in the down position to blow out any dust and debris before commencing with drilling activities. 4. Check all terminal blocks in junction boxes for tightness.
Drilling Motor Before placing a stored motor in use: 1. Blow dust and dirt accumulation out of windings with clean, dry air. 2. (For DC motor applications only) Re-set the brushes. Visually inspect for spring corrosion, sticking brushes in brush holders, and general defects. 3. Check winding insulation continuity to ground with a 500 volt megger. If the megger reading is less than 2 megohms, the windings should be baked or dried until the moisture content is sufficiently reduced to raise the megger reading to 2 megohms. 4. An electrical source of heat is best for drying as it can be easily regulated and is clean. Proceed as follows: •
Remove the armature from the frame and remove bearings from the armature shaft. Heat the frame and armature until dried sufficiently to obtain the 2 megohm reading.
•
Pack bearings with new grease. Refer to LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS for the proper type and amount of grease.
•
Reassemble the motor.
•
If facilities are available, give the reassembled machine a running test to check bearings.

Recommended Storage Instructions for Top Drive Drilling Motors WARNING:
Cleaning solvents may be toxic and/or flammable. They can cause serious or fatal injury if used without proper precautions. For safety: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Do not inhale solvent fumes. Use solvents only in adequately ventilated areas. Avoid contact of solvent with skin. Do not expose solvent to flame or sparks. Observe caution statements issued by the manufacturer of the solvent.
When placing Canrig Top Drive Drilling Motors into storage, the following preparations should be undertaken to prevent damage to the equipment as a result of storage: 1. Machines should be placed on a pallet and stored indoors if possible. A clean, dry ambient temperature of 60°F is preferred. In a high humidity environment, an ambient temperature of 70°F is recommended. Every attempt should be made to avoid widely varying temperatures and high humidity. A protective cover acting as an umbrella should be used to prevent entrance of rain, dust, etc. 2. The drilling motors are equipped with AC space heaters (120VAC, 210W). These heaters should be energized to keep the internal machine temperature above ambient, preventing condensation and sweating. 3. All exposed machined steel parts and surfaces should be slushed. These areas are slushed prior to shipment from the factory, but should be examined for rust. Rust should be removed using fine abrasive paper, after the old slushing compound has been removed with mineral spirits. Methanol should be used to remove all residues. 4. Extreme care should be exercised not to damage critical machined surfaces such as the tapered shaft surface while removing rust. The surfaces should be reslushed with slush compound Kendell Grade 5, or the equivalent. 5. Brushes should be removed from their holders and clamped under the spring clips to prevent corrosion of the commutator surface as a result of moisture absorption caused by the carbon. 6. Do not completely seal the motor, but cover major vent areas with a waterproof shipping tape. Leave enough opening so that the machine can breathe – i.e., moist air is not trapped. The intention is to prevent entrance of water, rust, small animals, but not to seal airtight. We do not recommend use of silica gel or dehydrating agents. 7. Since the lubricant drains from the top half of bearings during storage, this area is subject to corrosion. The shaft should be rotated periodically to redistribute a protective film. If stored inside, rotate every three months; if outside, every month. Before placing the machine back into service after prolonged storage (1 year or more) bearings should be inspected and repacked with new grease meeting the recommended GE lubrication specification. 8. The machine should be meggered when placed into storage and periodically while in storage (3 month intervals). Keep a record of the megger readings as a rapid decrease in insulation resistance indicates the machine condition is deteriorating and the storage conditions are inadequate. Before placing a stored motor back into storage, refer to the applicable instructions: REMOVING TOP DRIVE DRILLING MOTORS FROM STORAGE. Revision 05.03
4-31
Canrig Top Drive Drilling System
Removing Top Drive Drilling Motors from Storage It is often customary for users of Top Drive Systems to retain spare motors, which can be used for replacements. The spares might be new, rebuilt or used. Even though new or recently rebuilt, it is possible that the machine has been stored for an extended period of time and should be checked before being placed into service. Storing location and atmospheric conditions (temperature and humidity) can cause the windings to become contaminated with dirt and/or moisture. Storage conditions can help in avoiding dirt and moisture accumulation. Where possible, machines should be stored in a clean location where the temperature is kept above 60°F. In a generally high humidity climate, an even higher minimum temperature (70°F) will help keep windings dry. An accumulation of moisture or dirt causes electrical breakdown of the windings. Before placing a stored motor into service: 1. Blow dust and dirt accumulation out of windings with clean, dry air. 2. Visually inspect for spring corrosion, sticking brushes in brush holders, and general defects. 3. Check winding insulation continuity to ground with a 500 volt megger. If the megger reading is less than 2 megaohms, the windings should be baked or dried until the moisture content is sufficiently reduced to raise the megger reading to 2 megaohms. 4. An electric source of heat is best for drying as it can be easily regulated and is clean. Proceed as follows: A. Remove the armature from the frame and remove bearings from the armature shaft. B. Heat the frame and armature until dried sufficiently to obtain the 2 megaohm reading. C. Pack bearings with new grease. Refer to the Lubrication and Maintenance Recommendations in this Section for the proper type and amount of grease. D. Reassemble the motor or generator. E. If facilities are available, give the reassembled machine a running test to check bearings.
These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to Canrig.

Capscrew Torque Values All capscrews and bolts used on a Canrig Top Drive meet or exceed the SAE Gr.8 specifications. These must be torqued to the values shown on the assembly drawings or to the value charted below. In addition, the following guidelines should be followed when reinstalling capscrews or bolts:
•
All capscrews or fasteners permanently installed must be coated with Loctite 242 Threadlocker or the equivalent after insuring that the capscrew threads and mating thread are free of all dirt, oil and grease. This is a medium strength threadlocker that prevents rusting of all threads and prevents loosening due to vibration. This threadlocker can be sheared using normal hand tools.
•
All capscrews or fasteners that require periodic loosening to facilitate adjustment of components (tool joint clams, link tilt clamps, guide rails, etc.) should be coated with anti-seize thread compound 767 or the equivalent.
•
When using capscrews with locknuts, use only Grade C Stover locknuts or equivalent. These can be identified visually by eight raised dots. These are re-usable, but new nuts are recommended after repeated removal and installation.

Testing a Solenoid Coil Failure •
The main reason for failure of a solenoid is excessive heat.
•
A sign of impending solenoid failure may be a peculiar odor, followed by the discovery of melted or cracked insulation.
•
A chattering noise could also signal solenoid failure.
Testing Procedure 1. Disconnect the power source. 2. Test the solenoid coil by attaching an ohmmeter (set to a low resistance range) across the coil terminals. •
A relatively low reading should be observed on the meter if the coil is good. Solenoid Manufacturer

It should not read zero ohms as this is an indication that the coil windings are shorted to each other, probably the result of melted insulation.
•
If the ohmmeter reads infinity, it means that the coil is open and defective.

Main Bearing End Play Inspection Procedure 1. Remove the washpipe. 2. Place the base of the dial indicator on top of the upper seal carrier (or side of the bonnet) and the plunger on the top of the upper seal ring. 3. Load the end of the quill against the top and bottom of its free travel. (NOTE: Quill travel = 8 inches) 4. Read the end play on the dial. (Desired end play = 0.002/0.004 inches) 5. To adjust this end play, add or remove shims between the upper bearing seat and the main housing. 6. If the gear case oil becomes contaminated, the gear case should be flushed and the oil changed. The end play should be checked before resuming drilling activities. This may reveal indications of premature bearing wear.

Washpipe Inspection Instructions Packing Assembly Instructions: 1. Attach magnetic indicator base or improvised holding fixture to quill or packing box. 2. Rotate sleeve 360° and record total indicator reading (TIR) indicator positions A, B, C. Recommended Tolerances: A. Maximum allowable misalignment at gooseneck support bore = 0.008’ TIR B. Maximum allowable misalignment at gooseneck pilot = 0.010” TIR C. Maximum allowable washpipe misalignment after complete assembly = 0.010” TIR Inspection may indicate misalignment exceeding recommended limits. Washpipe packing assemblies are designed to accommodate misalignments of quill to gooseneck and will operate with some excessive misalignment. However, to achieve maximum packing life, the alignment at the washpipe should be maintained within recommended limits.

Top Drive Disc Brake Inspection Check Brake Fluid •
Brake fluid reservoir should be visually checked on a daily basis.
•
Sudden drop in oil level may indicate worn components. Be sure to only use mineralbased oil (i.e. hydraulic oil) in the brake system.
Check Brake Calipers •
Brake calipers should be checked weekly.
•
A function test should be done at this time.
•
There should be a minimum gap of 0.06” between the brake pads and the disc.
•
In addition to premature wear, dragging brake pads can also cause excessive heat build-up in the brake compartment.
•
If the brake pads are dragging, the system may require bleeding to eliminate any trapped air. See Brake Bleeding Procedure.
Manual Brake Bleeding 1. The brake actuator should be bled first, and then the brake calipers. 2. Clean area around reservoir covers (2 on GE 752 and GE B20 motors, 1 on 761 motors). 3. Remove covers. 4. Fill reservoirs to indicated FULL level. Use only mineral base oil (hydraulic oil) in the brake reservoirs. Do not use brake fluid. Replace reservoir cover(s) but leave loose. 5. Put the Top Drive selector switch in the AUX position and start the HPU. 6. Cycle the brakes several times by operating the Brake switch at the Top Drive Console. 7. With the brake on and the HPU running, loosen the bleed screw on the component until there is no sign of air mixed with the oil. 8. Close the bleed screw. 9. Cycle the brake off and on. 10. Repeat the process until there is no air visible in the system. 11. Top off reservoirs to indicated FULL level and replace covers tightly.

Fill reservoirs to indicated FULL level. Use only mineral base oil (hydraulic oil) in the brake reservoirs. Do not use brake fluid. 4. Replace reservoir cover(s) but leave loose. If the cover is tightened the reservoir could be damaged during bleeding. 5. Open ball valve(s) (1 per reservoir) on reservoir return lines. 6. Put the Top Drive selector switch in the AUX position and start the HPU. 7. Cycle the brakes several times by operating the Brake switch at the Top Drive Console. 8. Close the ball valve(s) on the reservoir return line. 9. Top off reservoirs and replace covers tightly. Ensure there is no air visible in the system.
