1. Overview
To keep the drilling rig working normally continuously and prolong the lifespan
of all the components, it is necessary to maintain it besides operating it according to
the manual.
During the service of the drilling rig, it is necessary to maintain it periodically.
The periodic maintenance includes shift maintenance, weekly maintenance, monthly
maintenance, half-year maintenance and annual maintenance. Problems found in
the maintenance can be solved by operator or professional according to specific
situation, while the others (e.g. replacing bearing), for which much workload is
required, must be sent to service station or repair shop to be solved.
For the maintenance of other relevant equipments and components not
included in this manual, see details in corresponding maintenance manuals.

After half a year or one year’s running, all the motion parts must have been
worn, and the capabilities of other motionless parts will change too. So they need
adjustment, maintenance, and replacement. The jobs need to be completed by
professionals at professional stations (service stations) or repair shops according to
the advices from facility management technicians.
This chapter expounds the most basic routine inspection and maintenance
regulations. Users must follow them. See more details in relevant sections of this
manual.
1) Inspect the valve cavities and circulation line assemblies should be checked
to avoid freezing before starting the drill pump.
2) Drilling fluid in the drilling pumps hydraulic end, swivel, and high/low
pressure pipe assemblies must be discharged when the drill pump is shut down.
Discharge completely the liquid in the drench pump water tank.
1) Discharge all the freezing fluids from brake hub after drilling.
2) Avoid freezing at the relief hole at the bottom of the swivel lifting ring.
1) Take preventive steps for the factors that may damage the main components
of the mast and substructure when the temperature is below -20℃.
2) Take antifreezing steps for the oil/gas/water transportation pipelines and
drilling rig control valves
3) There should be heat preservation measurements for the driller’s consol and

measuring instruments.
The chains of JC-70D drawworks main section and the disc drive box assembly
are compulsorily lubricated. All the bearings except for those of gear shaft shall be
lubricated with grease.
6 pairs of chains inside the drawworks, with 2 pairs of 2-row 2in chains, 2 pairs
of 4-row 2in chains and 2 pairs of 6-row 11/2 chains, and 3 pairs of bearings in gear
shaft are lubricated with grease.
The chain wheels on the input axle of power assembly are intended to drive the
lubricating oil pump installed on the frame of power assembly. This pump absorbs
the lubricants from the oil tank under the base of power assembly and sends them
to all lubricating positions of drawworks.
To guarantee the constant pressure inside the oil way system (adjustable
pressure), the pressure gauge and check valve are mounted on pipeline. Generally,
the pressure is set as 0.2~0.4MPa.
The filter cleaner of oil way is often washed to ensure the smooth oil suction.
When the gear oil pump (CB-100) is mounted, the chain wheels on gear oil
pump and the corresponding chain wheel end face on input axis have a plane error
of no more than 0.50mm.
Noteworthy, the gear oil pumps, as the one-way pumps, must have the full
positive rotation and then the negative rotation. The positive and negative rotations
shall happen in an interval of 5 min. The drawworks operation is forbidden if the
gear oil pump and the oil tank of lubricating system are disconnected.
Oil product filled in the oil tank: In summer it is recommended to use L-
AN100 machine oil during the temperature range of 0 ~ 50℃. In winter it is
recommended to use L-AN46 machine oil during the temperature range of -30℃~
0℃. The oil level shall reach the point between two graduation lines of oil scale.
8
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
The first filling volume is 1100 liters and the further supplementation is done as
necessary.
All the lubricating points of the main lubricating parts for main section of
JC-70D drawworks drive system are concentrated on the front lower part of drum
shaft clutch guard at the left side of drawworks. All the remaining lubricating points
are set at those positions necessary for lubrication. The lithium base grease (0℃~
50℃,L-XBCHA3;-30℃~0℃,L-XBCHA1) is filled into all the lubrication choke nipples,
and at the same time, the oil containers with connecting copper pipes inside shall
have the choke nipples removed and the joints of dry oil station connected. Use the
dry oil station to fill lubricationand use the lubricationgun directly or dry oil station if
the choke nipples are linked with the lubricationcontainers. The further filling
volume of each oil container is about 20~50g.
Lubricating nameplate is on the left side of drawworks, as shown in the figure.
All the lubricating points are shown in the figure and requirements of nameplate
must be followed as lubricationis filled.
――The first lubrication replacing period is 2000 working hours since the new
drilling rig is put into use (for the lubrication quality declines quickly during running
in period).
――The best way is to test the oil product according to the regulations of 4.1.4
to determine whether it can be used any more.

certificate is required).
Lubrication must be filled through filter. It is prohibited to fill directly to the oil
pool.
Replace the lubrication when any one of following indices exceeds its
permissible value.
Performance index Permissible value
Kinematics viscosity rate ±15%
Water content <0.1%
Colourity Within 3 sizes greater than new oil (magnitude)
Mechanical impurity <0.2%

Maintenance of drilling rig air control system is very important because its
10
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
● Whether the instruments of the driller’s console shows correctly, whether the
inside and outside of the console is clean, and whether there is air leakage;
● Whether the shift and lock gears run reliably and whether the rotary table and
● The crown clock saver needs tests before each tripping job to see whether it is
reliable;
● Whether the air crane has a high temperature and air leakage;
● Whether the quick relieve valve works well, and whether there is jam
phenomenon;
● Adjust the safety valve pressure of the air tank under the drilling rig
substructure to 0.9MPa;
All above except the crown block saver need inspection every 8 hours.
The normal run of the air control system is on the base of compressed air with
bound flow rate and pressure. Otherwise, some accidents such as failures or
insufficient output may happen. So much attention should be paid for the seal of all
the air control components and pipeline conjunctions, etc. to reduce air leakage.
When the power machine doesn’t work, leakage sound of the air is not allowed.
When power is off, close all the clutches. The pressure drop in the pipeline must be
within the allowable range. When the compressed air pressure is no less than
0.9MPa, the pressure drop shouldn’t exceed 0.1MPa within 30mins. While
disassembling the plastic rapid cannula, one hand must press the nut lock washer
11
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
and the other one pulls up the plastic cannula. After being used for many times, the
front of the plastic cannula should be wiped out for about 10~20mm. Then the
cannula is allowed to insert the conjunction. Especially after the system’s being used
for some time, because of the high pressure of the system that forces the plastic
cannula out, the front of the plastic cannula must be wiped out for about 10~20mm
or renew plastic cannula to be connected with the conjunction. Otherwise, it is
possible that the pipeline cannot be sealed closely and the cannula may be forced
out again.
When the air control components fails, don’t disassemble the valves arbitrarily.
There are many reasons for the air control valves failures. Sometimes, it is not the
fault of the valves themselves, but the jam of the air course pipelines or the size of
the air pressure (low source pressure, air leakage along pipelines). So, it needs
check up stepwise. The method is as follows. First of all, from control valves and
control pipelines to remote control valves open the air conjunctions stepwise and
check the open situation. If the control air course is straightaway, then check the
open situation again. Otherwise, there is problem with the valves. If there are any
reserved valves, change it and get in touch with relevant technical department.
Open the valves to check with the admission and make sure the problems with the
valve brokens. In a word, when there is any problem with the air control system,
one must be patient to find out the reasons carefully and handle them correctly.
Blind repair is prohibited.
There is another trait for air control valves: they work well during the
continuous use; but they failures several days later after being blocked up. This
situation may appear more easily for the two-position three-way air control valves.
12
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
The reason is that the valve core may be scaled during the period of being blocked
up, which increases the resistance of the moving portion of the valves, and thus the
valves failures and air leakage happens. Under this situation, blank off the normally
closed two-position three-way air control valves. If the leakage eliminates, the
valves are scaled. The valves can resume work after the valves cores being moved
several times repeatedly. If the leakage goes on, it is necessary to open the valves
to check the specific causes.
When the drilling rig completes a well or at intervals (no longer than 3 months),
the whole air system needs an overall maintenance. Check the conditions of the
vulnerable parts, and change and clean in time to avoid the valves working under
abnormal situations.
Common failures, causes and removing methods are shown in the following
table.

3) Check whether the brake facilities fixed bolts is fastened and whether the friction
block and brake disc have a proper gap;
4) Check whether oil level in oil sump is within the scale range;
8) Check whether there is oil leaking at every end of bearings and on the bearing
cap.

11) Check whether there is leaking along lubrication lines, whether there is block in
nozzles, and whether it’s set in proper direction.
12) Check whether there is any abnormal phenomenon at every gearing site.
13) Check whether water chain block is well sealed and whether the freezing water
course is leaking.
14) Check whether the dog house drifts too much and its support is reliable. The

1) The lubrication replacing period is 2000 hours or even longer when there
aren’t many impurities in the oil sump, the oil product isn’t deteriorated severely
and circulation is normal.
2) Inspect, adjust and fasten all the transmission connectors when shutdown.
Inspect whether the pin spindle falls or the side plate hurts.
3) Inspect the clutch and brake friction discs at any moment. Adjust or replace
them in time (see the details in the disc braking system).
4) Check the abrasion of fast line and replace immediately in case of excessive
abrasion or broken threads.
6) Notice the unlisted items in the tours of checks and inspections. Remove
the potential equipment problems and maintain their regular operation.

ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
After a period of running, the drawworks will confront some problems including
worn-out of rotating parts, loose of connecting parts, block in lines, aging of sealing.
These problems must be eliminated to avoid its harmful effects. Besides those daily
check-up and normal maintenance, the periodic inspection and maintenance must
be given with the participation of professional personnel. And the major
maintenances (such as replacement of bearing of some parts) shall be implemented
at service bureau or mechanical repair plant. The check-up and adjustment of all
parts and assemblies of the drawworks manual are given in Chapter 6, and the
assembly and disassembly of all parts are offered in chapter 7, please refer to
relevant documents.
20

system.
11) Check up all the oil seal.
After checking, sort out all the parts needing to be repaired or changed.
For those difficult items, they shall be carried out in professional service station or
repair shops.
The chain drive system of this drawworks has a fixed center distance of chain wheel
without the tight wheel structure. All the drive parameters have been well regulated
before the drawworks leaves the factory and the positioning equipment has been
established to guarantee the constant drive precision during repeated disassembly
and assembly. As long as the users operate according to the methods as described
in this manual, the drive system will claim a long life service (depending on the load,
working condition, operation, lubrication and other factors, and no specific data
from the factories). The loud noise and shake suggest the major abrasion of chains
and chain wheels, and requires the necessary inspection.
Open the butt plate or view cover of drive system, and check the chain or chain
wheel. The first inspection is focused on cracked, split, deformed or abraded parts
to make sure whether there is fast knot or whether the pin spindle rotates in the
chain plate hole. Discover and remove the causes for damage, and change the
whole chain. Even if the remaining part still functions, the chain may have been
damaged and more failures may happen soon.
As shown in Fig.4-1 and Table I, the whole chain shall be changed if the
abrasive elongation of measured chain exceeds 3% or the prescribed limit. Never
link the new chain part with the abrasive chain since this will render the unstable
chain drive and damage the drive system. Of the unregulated drive structure, the
permissible abrasion elongation shall approximate half of the chain pitch.
21
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
Length of measurement
The continued use is approved if the abrasion elongation is within the control.
However, two chain components are removed and reconnected due to the increased
chain length and large vertical degree. Such a situation is likely to happen: the
chains can’t be linked or become too tight after two sections are removed. At this
moment, one transition chain must be used. However, the transition links must be
avoided because their loading capacity is much smaller when compared to other
links. If the transition links are indispensable, the pin shaft is used to compensate
them, as shown in Fig.4-2.
22
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
Brake the chain-wheel shaft and drive another chain-wheel shaft manually and
tighten chain, as shown in Fig.4-3. Then, the vertical degree is measured with the
data shown in Table II.
23
The new chains shall not be applied to the worn chain wheels since the rapid
chain abrasion will occur. The new chains have much shorter pitches than the worn
chain wheels. All the chain loads will fall on the last cogwheel teeth before the
chains and chain wheel tooth get disengaged from meshes, and the roller will
suddenly leap out of the cogwheel teeth hollows. As the loads are transmited from
one cogwheel tooth to another, the impact load on the chain is incurred.
4.6.3 As long as one chain transmission shaft is disassembled (any part of this
assembly, such as bearing, chain wheel and gear are changed) and installed during

ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
Check the oil filter at suction port (TF-160X180L) regularly and clean in time if
the oil stains cause jammed oil suction.
The overflow valve inside oil circuit can regulate the excessively high system
pressure. The lubrication system pressure is monitored by the disc lubrication
pressure gauge on driller’s box. Stop and check at the moment of too low pressure,
and restart unless failures are removed. The working pressure of lubrication system
is 0.3~0.5 Mpa.
Oil products filled into oil pool: N100 lubricant in summer at the temperature of
0~50℃; N68 lubricant in winter at the temperature of -30℃~0℃. The oil surface
remains between two calibration tanks of oil gauge rod. The first fill is 50 liters.
5.2.1 Lubrication
1) The bevel gear pair and bearings of rotary table use the splashing lubrication.
90# sulphur-phosphate extreme-pressure industrial gear oil SAE90 (according to the
oil ruler) with 10% 4# anti-rust compounds is changed once every two months. The
oil level shall reach the liquid surface 5 minutes after the rotary table stops. Refill
the lubricants when the oil level drops to or below the lower limit of oil ruler, and
26
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
the refilling volume is proper as oil level nears or attains the upper limit (the first fill
is around 15 liters). The excessive lubricants will cause the labyrinth seal leakage
under rotary stage.
2) The pin shaft of locking system on rotary stage is lubricated with 2# lithium
base lubrication once a week.
To keep the crown block work without breakdown for long time, the proper
maintenance is necesary. The failure must be removed before using.
2) When one pulley is rotating, the adjacent ones mustn’t do along with it.
4) All the pulleys’ bearing shall be refueled periodically, and the lubrication lines
shall be smooth.
27
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
operator shall find out the reasons and replace the lubrication oil.
3) When running for a long time, especially in case of poor lubrication, the gap of
the pulley’s double-row trochoid roller bearing will become larger because of
abrasion, resulting in noise and shake. The pulley’s shake will shorten the steel
wire’s life. So the bearing must be replaced periodically.
4) Pulley with cracks and broken rim is strictly prohibited to use, which shall be
replaced immediately.
5) Check the pulley grooves wear condition frequently, whose shape affects the
steel wire’s life heavily and shall be checked with special template. And the template
making and using is introduced in API Spec 8A criterion.

6.2 Lubrication
All the pulley bearings must be refilled with. 1# (used in winter) or 3# (used in
summer) lithium base lubrication grease (GB7324-94) once a week before using and
during running.
7.1 Maintenance
Each part of the traveling block must be checked frequently to keep them work
soundly, and all the breakdowns must be eliminated immediately.
7.1.1 All the pulley bearings must be refueled with enough lubricationto keep it
work soundly without noise before being used.
7.1.2 The bearing must be given proper lubrication, or its fast abrasion will
enlarge the interspaces between double-row trochoid roller bearings, which will give
much noise and lead the pulley to unbalanced shaking. So they must be replaced
immediately or it will shorten the steal wire’s life seriously.
7.1.3 The distortion housing will have harmful effects on pulley’s rotating, which
is must be corrected.
28
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
7.1.4 If the pulley’s boundary is broken, steel wires are likely to trip out from
pulley groove. In these cases, the pulley must be replaced.
7.1.5 The undulatory delves on the surface of pulley groove will have bruise
effects on steal wires. In these cases the pulley must be lathe replaced. When
replacing the pulleys, its material’s quality must be good enough to undertake the
designed load.
7.1.6 Check the pulley grooves wear condition frequently, whose shape affects
the steal wire’s life heavily and shall be checked with special template. Groove
diameter shouldn’t be less than the template’s size; otherwise the lifespan of the
steel cable would be reduced. The template size is shown in the following table.
Raduis of the repaired pulley groove shall conform to the following table.
Norminal diameter of steel wire 11/2″(38 ㎜) 1 3/8″ 34.5mm
7.2 Lubrication
Through the six oil caps at the both ends of the pulley, the bearing is greased
by oil guns with 1# (used in winter) or 3# (used in summer) lithium base
lubrication (GB7324-94) once a week.

9. Maintenance of swivel
9.1 Lubrication:
9.1.1 Check the oil level inside swivel once for each shift. Check whether the oil
level reaches the demanded position (the oil level shall not be lower than the
minimum graduation of sliding gage). Change lubricants once every two months,
and for the new or repaired swivel the lubrication should be changed after using for
200 hours. Discharge the dirty oil as oil is changed. Wash all the sediments by
rinsing oil and then refill the clean 90# sulphur-phosphate extreme-pressure
industrial gear oil SAE90.
9.1.2 Lubricate the lift ring pin, pipe assembly and upper and lower oil seal with
2# lithium base lubrication (SY1412-75) once for each shift. The mud packing is
lubricated without pump pressure so that lubricationinserted into every part of pipe
assembly lubricate the pipe and each mud packing more effectively.
9.2 Maintenance:
9.2.1 The swivel is advised to follow the next steps as indicated in the
structural diagram of swivel manual.
1) Loosen joint turnbuckle at the bottom of central pipe before swivel is
removed from drilling rig;
2) Keep vertical position of swivel during disassembly;
3) Open piston and discharge oil;
4) Remove the pipe assembly as required by “replacement of pipe assembly”;
5) Remove the rubber umbrella at the top of central pipe;
6) Remove the goose neck pipe and upper cover (including the oil seal and
external bearing ring for upper stabbing);
7) Remove the adjustment gasket;
8) Remove the central pipe assembly (including the central pipe, main bearing
upper ring, internal ring of upper and lower stabbing, and upper and lower distance
sleeves;
9) Take out the main bearing support, roller and lower race.
10) Remove the lower cover and softly hit and remove the external ring of
31
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
lower stabbing bearing from lover cover. Disengage pressure cover from lower cover
to take out three oil seals and distance rings. Then remove the oil cup and O-ring.
9.2.2 Checking and replacement of parts:
1) Change the oil seals and O-rings when checking and replacing the parts of
swivel.
2) Check to ensure whether there is broken, abrasive and cracked bearing
rollers and races. Change any defective main bearings to guarantee their good
performance. Never exchange the upper and lower races. The upper race of main
bearing claims the transition cooperation with the central pipe. Strike and remove
the races from central pipe during disassembly. However, raise the temperature to a
range of 65℃~100℃ and then manage easy disassembly if necessary.
3) The pneumatic motor is forbidden to run idle.
4) Check regularly the oil level of oil sprayer. Refuel 10﹟ machine oil into oil
sprayer. 5﹟ spindle oil is used in winter and cold northern area.
5) The pneumatic motor blades are vulnerable. Regularly repair or change by
relevant repair factories. Unauthorized disassembly is banned.
6) All the parts and pipeline openings as moved and disassembled at well site
must be sealed up to prevent the invasion of silts, dusts and mud-water from
shortening their service life.
10.1 The mast must avoid sudden load in the course of drilling. For example
when putting the intermediate casing down, drilling the deepest region and dealing
with drill pipe sticking, loading and discharging must be carried slowly. To keep mast
safe, sudden loading and emergency brake must be avoided.
10.2 According to the hook load on rating plate, wind speed and function curve
of quantity of setback on second table, the operators must ensure the readings of
load indicator are within the hook load range as showed by curves. It’s indicated in
mast rmanual.
Notes: The maximum hook load is lowered by the acceleration, impact,
vertical discharge pipe and wind load.
32
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
10.3 Jointing and perforating are not allowed without permission; the bent or
worn parts must be repaired immediately; and the missing components cannot be
replaced with alternate facility optionally, the operator must tend to their
manufacturer for consultation.
10.4 The operator (or named agent) shall give periodic visual check to the mast
and report the results once per drilling month. If loosing of bolts, safety pin
breakaway and elements’ breakdown is found in daily drilling, measures must be
taken immediately to avoid mishap.
10.5 The format, scope, details and limitation of Report about Visual Field
Inspection of Mast is given in Appendix A,”Report of Visual Inspection of Mast and
Substructure”. If the mast is using under utmost condition, or its structure is under
the critical condition, they can be considered to give more particular and stricter
inspection periodically.
10.6 Damage mark: The worn parts or elements, when checked, must be
marked with clear and obvious sign with bright-color painting, and painted with the
original color after repairing.
10.7 In the repairing of worn parts, the operator shall consult with its
manufacture to get the affirmation of the mast’s raw material and the repairing
methods, or the operator must ask for the machine responsible engineer’s
permission to implement the repairing.
10.8 In the regular service condition, the mast shall be given maintenance once
a year. Normally the mast’s upper segment must be given a cleaning and antisepsis
once a year and its lower segment shall be given once per six months. Those parts
usually erode by drilling mud, petroleum, nature gas saturated saltwater and
hydrocarbon are be given a cleaning and antisepsis after drilling one well and before
moving.
10.9 During the maximal hook load of this mast and in the course of lifting and
lowering, the ambient temperature shall be higher than -20℃. The material’s low
temperature properties must be confirmed and the essential protecting measures
are taken if the use happens under the above temperature.
33
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
11.1 The operator shall pay enough attention to the stabilization of the
substructure foundation, and prevent surface water’s leakage to the soil layer
around it. If they find the foundation is going down unbalanced, they shall take
necessary remediation.
11.2 Drillings, cutting, jointing is not allowable without the permission of
professional administration.
11.3 In the repairing of substructure, the operator shall consult with its
manufacture to get the affirmance of the mast’s raw material and the repairing
methods, or the operator must ask for the machine responsible engineer’s
permission to implement the repairing.
11.4 In the regular service condition, the substructure shall be given a
complete maintenance every year. Beside normal cleaning and antiseptic, the left
and right footings of the substructure shall are given once half a year. Those parts
usually erode by drilling mud, petroleum, natural gas saturated saltwater and
hydrocarbon are be given a complete cleaning and antisepsis after drilling one well
and before moving.
11.5 The substructure’s lifting mechanisms, including the pulley, lifting rope,
shall be protected from the soak of rainwater and drilling mud. After the
substructure is lifted, the lifting rope shall be well coiled, and sealed with waterproof
rubber belt, and then hung under the upper seat.
12.1 Introduction
Two electric screw compressor assemblies provide the air. They parallel by
one-way valve. While working, one runs, the other one is reserved or both run
alternatively or both run at the same time. The output compressor enters the 2.5m3
air tank after being processed by the freezing drier. There are 2 gas outlets on the
air tank. The upper one transports the compressed air, which is used to start the
34
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
diesel engine, to the diesel engine gas motor through the gas pipeline. And the
lateral one transports the compressed air to the gas consuming devices through the
gas pipeline. The air consumed by the drilling rig main engine is stored in the 4m3
air tank on the bases and is used for the drawworks, screwer, pneumatic winches
and liquid air wrench, etc.
See details in the manual of air source and air source purifying equipment.
See details Section 4.2 of this drilling rig maintenance manual and JC-70D
drawworks operation manual.
——Make sure the pipeline clean, and prevent any foreign impurities getting into the
inside from the conjunction.
——When the drilling rig is set up, switch on all the pipes to check the conjunctions
to see whether there is air leakage. Start the air source equipment. When it reaches
its rated pressure, shut it down. Fill the clutch when the drawworks is at stopped
status. Shut all the 4 valves leading to the diesel engine. When the system pressure
is higher than 0.9MPa, the pressure drop within 30 mins mustn’t be more than
0.1MPa. Otherwise, there is air leakage somewhere, and it is necessary to check it
and remove the failures.
——All the valves must be checked every month to see whether its set value is
changed.
——Make the air compressor keep working without air consuming. Open the valve
on the air tank in the air compressor room when the pressure is 1±0.05MPa and the
one on the air tank at the back of the substructure when the pressure is
0.95±0.05Mpa. If the situation isn’t so, only professionals can adjust it. When it is
qualified, plumb and record.
to check them. Only qualified pressure gauges can be used. And they should be
used under the situations that they are in their expiration date, and the plumb is
complete and the instruments work well. Whenever there is any abnormality, inform
the measure-determined department.
——Open the drain valve of the air tank every month to discharge the oil, water and
other impurities.
——Ask repairmen to clean the inside of the air tank thoroughly every year till the
pressure container inspection department with the proof of safety examines it.
Use of extreme pressure (EP), no corruption, and anti-foam gears lubrication oil

agent.
There is a tour of inspection every shift. Check the oil level and keep it at the
full position of the oil pointer. The oil pump is allowed to run slowly as long as 5
mins accounting for the oil level compensation to make the oil level on the
regulated position.
There is an inspection every 6 months to discharge one-off the oil if there are
grind grains or corrosive compounds and wash the oil tank then fill new oil. The oil
outlet is on the side of the pump framework. During the wash, clean all oil bath and
oil cavity on the cross head. Meanwhile, clean or change the filter element in the
respirator cap and clean the suction screen. Take off the antechamber and eliminate
the dregs before filling new oil.
Check the lubricant situation periodically. Change oil frequently because of air
damp, moisture content and dirt as well as mud encroachment.
Inspect every month. Take off the oil outlet caps on both sides, and discharge
the oil with dregs from the antechamber. 15 gallons oil would be lost. Thus some oil
should be refilled for complement.
Inspect every week. Take off the 1/2″screw plug at the bottom and discharge
the accumulated water.
Inspect every shift. Check the oil level in the main oil tank to keep it at the full
position of the oil pointer. If the pressure drops, inspect following items:

—— other situations
Inspect all the bolts (including the mail bearing cap bolt, locking iron wires at
the head of all the bearing baffle bolts of the cranks). Change iron wires after
hastening the bolts once again. (Consult the chapter of crank assembly about the
requirements of torque fastening).
3) Oil tubes
Inspect all the oil tubes to ensure that it is complete and unblocked. And
inspect oil pump suction hose to see whether it is broken and crushed.
38
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
Take off the main bearing cap and inspect the fastening property of the main
bearing-retaining bolt and the bearing roller. Clean and remove all the dregs and
impurities, because they may accumulate at the bottom of the bearing.
Inspect gear ring and pinion to see whether there is abnormal wearing. There
will be some stains during the running in. They are initial spot corrosion and have
no negative influence on the gear lifespan. But if spot corrosion keeps expanding
while regular checking, get in touch with the pump factory immediately to inspect
the gear thoroughly.
Take off the cap and inspect the crosshead pin bolt and the locking iron wire
(take off the back cap and rotate the connecting lever to the outside dead point
when inspect the middle crosshead pin). Hasten the crosshead pin bolt M24×70
(number 3, Fig. 14), its torque value is 225~240N·m (165~175ft. lbs).
Torque spanner is used and the torque value must be within the value given
above.
Change the crosshead or the guide immediately when they are worn
abnormally. Because this may result in the damage of the bearing and other
components and excessive wearing may also accelerate the wearing of the piston
and the barrel.
F series of drill pump uses roll bearing. Roll bearing is precise mechanical
component. It must be carefully maintained to increase the serving quality and load
property.
The main bearing is sphere roller bearing. Small gear shaft is equipped on the
long cylinder roll bearing. Eccentric bearing uses cylinder roller, with thrust blocks
on both sides to keep the connecting lever on the centerline. Crosshead pin spindle

ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
All the outside and inside lanes of the bearings are assembled with precise
coordination. And the precision is compulsory. So the outside and inside lanes and
the roller assembly must be together when the bearing is reused. And it must be as
precise when being taken off.
All the coordination of the roll bearing and axle neck adopts shrunk-on (refer to
each assembly for the bearing coordination data). Broken or worn out bearings or
lanes can be knocked down from the shaft by copper rod and hammer. So does gas
cutting. But do be careful and don’t injure the shaft. The way of assembling the
bearing is often oil bath heating at the temperature of below 149℃ (300℉). The oil
and oil tank must be very clean. If heat directly with fire at the bottom of the oil
tank, pad the bearing outside lane when it is in the oil tank. The time of bearing oil
bath must be within 3 mins.
Generally don’t heat the bearing with flame. If the flame is necessary under
special situations, experienced burner can only complete the job. The flame should
be at least 150mm (6″) far way from the bearing. The flame temperature can be
tested by thermometric pen. The bearing cannot be too hot, otherwise, it draws
back and the bearing is softened.
The heated bearing should self-cool in its position once it is put into the shaft.
Don’t cool the heated bearing with water or other liquids because fast cooling may
result in “thermal cracking”, namely crack, of the inside and outside of the bearing
and the roller. Thus the bearing breaks immediately.
Don’t beat the bearing directly with steel hammer. Wooden hammer can be
used to knock gently if the bearing must be set in position.

ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
Generally lubricant is used to smear the axle journal and mounting hole before
mounting the bearing. The best lubricant is zinc powder oil, which is anti-seize oil.
Take out the bearing from the package before mounting. Do be careful of dirt and
impurities. The bearing must be washed to clear the anti-corrosive oil for package
with clean kerosene or other solvents.
1) Ensure that the valves on the flowing side of the pump are open before the
pump works. Under the situation of closed valves, fatigue crack may appear
because the pump stands the impact stress. And the appearance of the little cracks
may begin the process of “corrosion fatigue damage”.
2) Don’t close the clutch when the prime motor (diesel engine, electric motor
and their gearings). Because this can result in unexpected dash-out load and can do
harm to power end and hydraulic end.
3) Maintain the safety valve correctly to ensure that it can be opened when the
pressure exceeds its rated value. This adjusting pressure is related to liner size.
Refer to the instruction of “safety valve”.
4) Don’t make the pump work long when serious hydraulic shock happens.
Maintain the hydraulic end correctly. When the pump doesn’t work for more
than 10 days, it is recommended to take off some components of the hydraulic end
such as piston, piston rod and liner. Wash the pump hydraulic end thoroughly with
clear water. Then swab it and smear lubricants onto the machined surfaces such as
liner hole, cavity cap, washer surface, and cavity cap thread and valve seat for
protection. Of course, the taken off components from the pump such as liner and
41
ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
piston should be processed for protection. Thus not only the hydraulic end lifespan
is prolonged through anticorrosion but also the vulnerable parts taken off from the
pump is protected and kept in good state for reuse when the pump is started again.
Three-throw pump hydraulic end assembly consists of three struck pump heads,
cylinder sleeves, valve cap and cylinder lid and suction pipe as well as outlet pipe.
Fig. 13.1 shows the structure of pump head. Tab.I shows the size data.
Three independent pump heads ① through stud bolt ② connecting with the
power end framework by the way of metal to metal, ensure the centering of the
power end and pump head with the hole on the power end framework and the
guide convex on the pump head. However, for precise centering, the channel marks,
burrs and cruds on the framework hole and binding surface of the pump head guide
convex must be cleared. Otherwise, curling or askew may occur after their
connection.

ZJ70/4500D Drilling Rig Maintenance Manual
There are usually two types of welding: (A) prick; (B) crack. The basic
materials of repair are listed below.
A. Prick
·Ensure that the welding rod is dry. If necessary, put it into the oven to
bake
·Heat the welded region locally, in all directions at least 75mm (3″), with
the temperature: 120°~ 180℃(250°~350℉)
B. Crack
·Abrade all the cracks. Gas cutting can only result in the crack
development speed bigger than the metal ablation speed. So gas cutting is not
suitable.
·Preheating
The most important thing is to keep the valve cap seat completely even,

and being 90°with the screw thread axial line when turning or grinding, as
shown in Fig.13.2. Valve cap bead① is put in the sunken hole on the top of
the valve cap hole, forming the connection of metal to metal and the bead is
sealed at the low point formed by grinding. Otherwise, there will be
interspaces between the valve cap bottom and the top of the valve cap bead.
Under pressure, the bead is crushed and the valve cavity cap is pricked. Low
point or high point can camber the valve cap and result in non-perpendicularity
of two coordinated screw thread axial lines. Therefore, the screw thread is
damaged severely.

3) Check the liner cavity of the framework. If there is much mud or oil
flecked deposit, clear it.
4) Check the spray pump water tank. Compensate water while the water
is insufficient. Change the water when it is polluted and meanwhile clean the
water tank.
8) Loosen the piston rod collar clamp every day and check its pyramidal
face and piston rod as well as the intermediate rod-connecting surface to see
whether they are clean and rotate the piston rod a quarter to hasten. The
purpose is to distribute evenly the piston-wearing surface and prolong the
lifespan of piston and liner.
9) Lubricate the screw thread surface before hasten the cylinder cap and
valve cap. And check every 4 hours to see whether there is loosened
phenomenon.
10) Observe often the valve sealing, cylinder cover sealing and liner
sealing (including the sealing between the anti-abrasive disc and hydraulic
cylinder) as well as the alarm hole. If there is mud outlet, replace
corresponding sealing ring.
2) Check the use condition of valve and valve seat. Replace the severely
worn-out or pricked valve, valve rubber and valve seat (meanwhile replace the
valve body when replace the valve seat). Check the valve spring and replace
the fractured or disabled valve spring.
4) Discharge water from the screw plug of the drain valve till oil appears.
5) Check and clean the filter screen in the lubricant pipeline once.
2) Check the sealing ring in the intermediate rod stuffing box. If worn-out,
it must be replaced. Replace at least once every three months. At this time,
the position of oil seal shall be noted.
3) Take off and wash the filter drums in the outlet pipe assemblies.
4) Replace the dirty oil in the power end oil tank and crosshead deposit oil
bath every six months and meanwhile clear all the oil baths.
3) Discharge all the mud in the valve cavity and liner and wash them
when pump is off in winter or pump is temporarily off exceeding 10 days.
4) Cover the check aperture to avoid the lubricant mixed with dusts.
The discharge dampener can only be filled with inert gases such as
nitrogen or air. Inflammable and explosive gases, such as oxygen and
hydrogen, are prohibited being filled.
