It is porticularly valuable in connection with cleaning out, bailing, swabbing, single-shot surveys and similar work where send lines ot drilling lines are weed Observe the following recommendations carefully: 1, With o,tope line, measure the length of the boiler, swab, eter, which Is to be run. The free end of the tape may be tied on the line at ony convenient point above the ropa socket or bail. 2. Lower the tools into the well UNTIL THE POINT AT WHICH THE TAPE LINE HAS BEEN TIED COMES To THE WELL HEAD. This Is your starting point, no matter how for above the well hecd you place the Denthone, ter It registers only the emount of line thet passes through IY. 3. Set the counter dials to zero by pressing in on the wing nut ond then turning toward yourself until all diols show zero, Release the wing nut ond it will spring outwardly of its own eceord. DONOT TRY TO FORCE THE TURNING OF THE RESET WING NUT ELTHER BY HAND OR WITH PLIERS, AS THIS WILL ONLY RESULT. IN BREAKING OR DISLOCATING THE GEARING INSIDE THE COUNTER. 4. After the counter has been reset, 30 that oll dials show se10, revelve the moin wheal by hand in o fafward direc: Hon until the counter registers the some as the length of the tools as measured by the tape line. 5. Attach the Depthometer to the line by engaging the lower Idler wheel with the line end then tipping the Deptho- Meter sidewoys to engage the top idler, 4 & When using the Stond to mount the Depthometer, screw pipe nipples into the base plate, using ax many os ore required to give sufficient height to clear the well head. Screw the forked spring am essembly Into the top ni ple. Next, spread the forked spring arms opart and place the Depthometer between the open ends xe that the Fins on both sides of the frame extend through the holes in the forked spring, thus supporting the Degtheme ex 7.

Screw the Eye Bolt Honger inte the d Spring Arms sper? ond place the Depthometer between the 2 frame extend through the holes in the forked spring. 8. The stond should be inclined ot about a 45° ongle. This keeps the weight of the Depthometer agoinst the line snd helps the idler wheel springs in keeping good traction against the line. DO NOT HOLD ON TO THE DEP- THOMETER WITH YOUR HAND WHILE IT 1S BEING RUN. “IF you do, you will only succeed in causing o lozs of traction between the tool and the line, which will result in a faulty measueement.. Furthermore, it may couse ‘an accident. 9. Yau ete now ready to lower the tools into the well and make the line measurement. This should be done with goed degree of caution. HOLD THE LINE SPEED WITHIN 200 FEET TO 300 FEET PER MINUTE. IF YOU “RUN FASTER THAN THIS YOU WILL CAUSE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SLIPPAGE WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A WRONG READING. If your hoisting equipment will permit it, on excellent way to feed the line off ef the dium evenly is to de it In reverse geor.

IN ALL PROBABILITY YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE DEPTHOMETER CHECK IN AND OUT TO ZERO. When tools re being withicawn from the well, the line is under graster tension thon whee the foals sre bing lowered into the well.
