FOREWORD
This manual is published as a general guide for the normal care and operation of your NATIONAL-
OILWELL Drawworks. Because of the many factors which normally contribute to the proper function or
malfunction of this machinery, and not having complete knowledge of each factor or combination of factors, we
cannot detail all facets of this subject. We, therefore, confine the scope of this presentation; and when situations
encountered are not fully encompassed by complete understandable instructions - these situations must be referred
to NATIONAL-OILWELL,
When other than routine maintenance or servicing is necessary, it can be most efficiently performed if
unit or primary component is removed from service to an area of adequate space where an over-head crane,
hydraulic lif, bearing pullers, impact tools, shelter, etc., are available and readily accessible.
The dimensions and tolerances specified in this publication are those desirable for the most efficient
operation of the Drawworks. When components become worn or when new parts are introduced into a worn
unit, it may not be possible or economically feasible to re-establish such strict alignment and correct all
dimensional deviations.
Improvements in design, engineering, materials, production methods, etc., may necessitate changes in
the Drawworks resulting in inconsistencies between the contents of this publication and the physical equipment,
NATIONAL-OILWELL reserves the right to make these changes without incurring any liability or
obligation beyond that stipulated in the purchase contract.
The pictures, photographs, charts, diagrams, drawings, written contents and specifications
contained herein are not to be construed as giving rise to any warranty on the part of NATIONAL-
OILWELL. NATIONAL-OILWELL makes no warranty, either expressed or implied, beyond that
stipulated in the purchase contract,

Recommendations for rig-up, operation and main-
tenance of NATIONAL drilling rigs are based on
the knowledge and experiences of NATIONAL
field engineers and a number of drillers and tool
pushers. Following these recommendations will
result in better overall rig performance and in-
creased equipment operating life.
FACTORY TESTING
At the factory the complete drawworks is care
fully leveled and aligned, the joint plates and
dowel pins welded in place, the joint bolts inserted,
and the drawworks test run. All mechanical and
air control systems, the lubrieation system and all
brakes and clutches are test operated and checked.
Each drawworks functions perfectly before it is
released for delivery to user
Guards cover all moving parts, These guards
serve several purposes; for example, they serve
as enclosures for the oil lubrieation system, pro-
vide safety for personnel, and prevent foreign
fevial from getting into the ‘working parts.
Keep guards bolted in place when the drawworks
is in operation. seep inspection doors closed ex-
cept when lubricating or inspecting.
MATERIAL CIIECK
A general check of all materials shipped to the
rig-up site should be made as soon as possible to
determine if any damage has occurred during
shipment. Visual inspection should be made of
all skids, guards and other equipment that is
unprotected and which could receive a blow dur-
ing shipment. Damage should be inspected in the
light of what might have Leen damaged but not
immediately apparent from outside inspection.
Any damage should be immediately corrected. It
is much easier to correct damage to piping, skids,
etc., while the individual units ave on the ground
than after the unit has been set on the substruc~
ture. “Any damage to the main skids would um-
doubtediy cause errors in alignment if they are
rigged up without correction. Small items that
are boxed separately for shipment should be ex-
amined for rough handling to make sure the parts
are not damaged or lost.
FOUNDATION DRAWING
A foundation drawing is furnished for every rig
to coordinate installation of various components
All dimensions, clearances, positions, ete. of the
equipment ave shown on.this drawing, It is used
by the substructure manufacturer to build his
substructure. If the rig is enclosed this same
drawing is Used by the house manufacturer to
design the house, This drawing is the key to a
rig up.
‘The main dimensions on a foundation plan are the
well centerlines. .All pertinent dimensions tsed at
rig up are shown on the foundation plan and are
dimensioned relative to the centerlines of the well
an example, after the substructure is erected
the first thing needed is the distance from the
centerline of the well to the drum shaft, ‘This is
given on the foundation plan. It also shows the
distance of the drawworks either side of the cen.
terline of the well (to the driller’s side, to the
rotary side). ll dimensions needed to locate any.
given piece of equipment will appear on the
Foundation plan,
-MBLY & ALIGNMENT — DRAWWORKS
Most NATIONAL drawworks are sectionalized to
facilitate transporting. Each section should be
handled separately. Do not attempt to lift sections
dowelled together.’ When sections are assembled
on substructure, place dowel pins all the way into
their mating plates and draw up tight, with the
large bolts provided for this purpose. The as
sembled drawworks should be skidded using jacks
during final positioning operations.
Align the assembled drawworks with the center-
line of the well to dimensions shown on the
foundation drawing. The front and rear base
beams of drawworks frame are marked with
arrows to show the centerline of well. Do not
confuse the two marks on the front of the draw
works. One of these marks the centerline of the
well and the other marks the centerline of the
drum, Both centerlines appear on the foundation
drawing and care should be taken that the center-
line of the well is used.
Secure the drawworks to the substructure. If
rods and turnbuckles are used, place one at each
end of the drawworks, under the drum shaft bear-
ing supports. Use 114” turnbuckles or larger.
Most installations will require that these turn
buckles be cut and a 114” rod welded in to make
them long enough to reach into the drum section
and down to the substructure. This allows the
drum section to be held tightly against the sub-
structure to prevent vibration during hoisting
operations.
‘The drawworks skid beams should be tied to the
Substructure beams with clamp plates, as bolts
require drilled holes in the beams, NOTE: On
permanent installations (offshore rigs) the draw-
‘works beams can be welded to the substructure.
If substructure steel is not flat and true, shim-
ming should be used between contact areas of the
dvawworks skid beams and the substructure
beams. Precaution should be taken so as not to
distort the drawworks frame when tying down,
since factory alignment was made on a level true
plane surface. Particular attention should be
given to good, even support under the auxiliary
brake zone of the drawworks frame.
Install all inter-connecting, pre-aligned, air, oil,
and water lines; mechanical linkage and roller
chains. Avoid pockets or bends in air lines whieh
may accumulate moisture. Contral devices willcompensate for moderate pipe leakage but loss of
air causes unnecessary demand on the air supply.
NOTE: When rigging down, all inter-connecting
lines should be re-plugged, capped, or taped, to
keep free of dirt and other foreign matter.
ALIGNMENT — ROTARY TABLE
The rotary table should be installed with the cen-
ter of the table opening aligned with the center~
line markings on the substructure, This can
usually be done by inserting a board in the square
of the table and laying out the accurate center of
the opening. This line can be extended until it
intersects the centerline of well arrows on the
substructure,
Securing the rotary table to the substructure ean
be accomplished by several methods. On the most
‘common mounting the table is located by stops
and tied down to the substructure with turn-
buckles. Usually four 1/4” turnbuekles are used.
Another method is one in which the table is free
to move upward. For this installation, tall stops
that allow about six inches of lift are used without
tie downs.
‘The rotary drive chain length is not always speci-
fied on the foundation plan. Therefore, install
only the number of links of chain that will fit the
Grive. It is not necessarily a tight chain as on
the other drives throughout the drawworks and
rig drive units. The guard, which is normally an
oil bath guard type, should'be installed before the
rotary table is set in place.
ASSEMBLY AND ALIGNMENT — RIG DRIVE
The approximate location of the No, 1 engine
section can be determined from the foundation
plan, However, due to manufacturing tolerances
in the welded steel substructure, it is impossible
to locate No. 1 engine sections by: dimension only
Therefore, it is recommended that the No. i
engine section be located an inch or two eloser to
the drawworks than the dimensions ‘on. the
foundation plan indicates. The drawworks drive
sprockets should then be aligned accurately with
a thin copper wire or a straight edge. After the
No. 1 section is aligned to the sprockets, stops
should be tacked to the outside substructure
beams tight to the front engine frame skid. Also
stops should be tacked underneath the engine
skids to act as guides against the substructure so
that the No. 1 section ean be jacked back in a
straight line. After this is accomplished the
drawworks drive chain should be installed, and,
by measuring from the stops on the substructure
to the front'of the No. 1 skid the engine frame
can be jacked evenly until the drawworks drive
chain is tight. This procedure will maintain the
sprocket alignment which is extremely important
as any misalignment leads to excessive chain,
sprocket and bearing wear and materially adds
to maintenance costs.
Chain manufacturers have provided a measuring
guide to proper chain tension which may be used
where not established by factory alignment, As
a general rule, when all chain slack is measured
on one side of the sprocket, the vertical sag should
not exceed two percent of the distance between
shafts or sprocket centers.
Due to the design of our section drive group, after
the No, 1 section is aligned with the drawworks
it is only necessary to remove the shipping covers
from the compound guards and the necessary floor
plate to get at the joint block bolts. After this
the remaining sections can be pulled into place
and the bolting of the sections together auto-
matically brings them to the same alignment as
when they were manufactured at the factory.
If time has not been taken to dowel the No. 1
section to the substructure it is a good idea to
tack the No. 1 section to the substructure so it
is not pulled out of alignment when the remaining
sections of the rig drive are installed.
As in the ease of the drawworks, elamp plates
rather than bolts are recommended for securing
the engine frames to the substructure.
Controt air lines are connected between engine
frames by short jumper hoses. These hoses are
located between the engine skids under the re-
movable floor plate. The lubrication oil line for
the oil spray pipes is connected by short jumper
hoses located at the breaks in the compound
guards above the floor plate. On rig drives equip-
Ped with National hydraulic couplings it is neces-
sary to connect the cooling water lines from the
heat exchangers. This is done with a 3” Dresser
sleeve coupling between each engine frame.
WIRE LINE SPOOLING
NAL drawworks feature large main drums
step spirallel grooving. Assuming 8 lines
strung and 90’ stands, less than three full layers
of line will be spooled on the drum when the
traveling or hook block is in its uppermost posi-
tion, When stringing the blocks for the first time
we recommend seven anchor coils be spooled on
the drum when the elevators are in position to
hoist pipe.
LUBRICATION
As soon as the drawworks has been completely
assembled and ready for initial running, the fol-
lowing steps should be taken
1, Lubricate all grease fittings per instructions
outlined in Lubrication Section,
2. Make sure the oil sump is clean, then fill with
oil — see Lubrication Section for oil specitica-
tion, A bayonet type filler gauge is located in
the sump for measuring the oil level. When the
drawworks is running there should be suffi-
cient oil in the reservoir to cover the strainers,
8. Check the chain lubrication by opening
doors on the back of the drawworks, The spray
system should deliver a stream of oil to all
chains, mechanical clutches, and gears.FIRST RUNNING
Operation of the drawworks is dependent on an
adequate air supply for operation of the catheads
and all air clutches. With the air compressor
operating properly, blow-out all air lines supply-
ing control cabinet, clutches and catheads, Fol-
lowing this check to see that all air lines are open
and gauges are active. The pressure gauge in the
drawworks ‘control cabinet. marked. air supply
should read approximately 110 psi,
Open and close the control valves for the high and
low drum clutches, the rotary drive cluteh, inertia
brake, coring reel clutch, and both catheads,
Listen for the exhaust of air from each clutch
through the quick release valve when the control
valve is closed. Do not operate the drawworks
unless these quick release valves work properly.
All air clutches on the drawworks are controlled
by pressure graduating type air valves. Engage
air clutches with an even motion of the control
valve lever to the “ON” position. Abrupt engage-
ent of air clutches causes excessive loading on
shafts and chains. Too slow engagement will
over-hent clutch elements due to excessive slip-
page. Hand operated clutches should be actuated
with the same smooth engagement and feel as the
foot operated eluteh of an automobile.
To. be sure air gets into and out of the clutch
quickly. keep the regulating valve and release
yalve in good condition. Air clutches should be
inspected periodically for lining wear. Refer to
Maintenance Section for allowable lining wear on
NATIONAL clutches.
GENERAL INSPECTION
When the drawworks is moved from one location
to another, or taken from storage into the field,
every precaution should be taken to insure the
equipment is in first class operating condition,
These suggestions will be helpful and may sug-
gest others to the crew,
Check alignment of sprockets, bearings, and
shafts,
See that all bolts are tight, particularly those
already made up and therefore not installed dur-
ing rigging-up.
Inspect all chains for wear or damage, replace
entire length rather than attempting to make
repairs or replacing broken links.
Check all air connections and hoses for leaks.
Replace any broken or damaged air hoses and
fittings. Check operation of air valves — clean,
replace, or rebuild as required.
Engage and disengage air clutches to see they
Pill operate smoothly without slippage or over:
eating.
Check shifter control rods and linkage to insure
Proper operation of the drawworks transmission
clutches.
Clean oil sump in drawworks and clean the suction
screens to insure free oil flow.
Check installation of chain guards so the oil will
have unrestricted flow back to the sump.
Replace any fittings that will not take grease,
Replace broken or pinched grease tubing,
Clean and replace plastic bowl on main air line
filter. If drawworks is equipped with air line
lubricator, remove plastic bowl, clean and refill
with oil.
Inspect pump in the lube system. Adjust distribu.
tors for flow of oil. Be sure nozzles are not
clogged on spray system,
With the drawworks running, check the main
bearings on all shafts, see that they are well
lubricated and securely bolted down,
Check the water supply system to make sure it
is delivering sufficient water to the brake rims
and the auxiliary brake. Check spear connections
to the drum shaft and auxiliary brake to see that
the packing is in good condition and not leaking,
If any part is worn beyond operating safety or
efficiency, the time to find and replace it is dur-
ing rigging-up operations. Thorough inspection
for worn or broken parts, and prompt replacement
are good insurance against major repairs.General... ~

13GENERAL
NATIONAL equipment is designed to use oils and
greases which are generally available from most
oil companies and their distributors. ‘The benefits
rom certain special or premium type lubricants
may not justify their extra cost. In general the
most, important factor in lubrication is the sys.
tematic application of recommended lubricants at
regular intervals to assure trouble free operation
Particular care should be exercised in following
the lubrication instructions issued by manufac,
turers of engines, pumps, power takeoffs, air
compressors, couplings and similar units which
are operating components of the rig.
The large number of suitable oils and greases
makes it impractical to list them by their brand
names. We therefore give general specifications
Most oil company salesmen and distributors will
have no trouble in supplying products to meet
these specifications,
OIL TYPES
‘The SAE viscosity numbers perhaps need some
explanation. They were established to give a
slight measure of standardization to the specifica~
tion of automotive crankcase and transmission
oils. These numbers have since been proven to be
@ convenient way of designating oils for general
use.
Each number covers a certain viscosity range at
a specified temperature. The number tells nothing
about the type of base stock (naphthenic or para
fine) and nothing about the presence or absence
of additives,
Oils having SAE numbers 5W through 50 are
classed as motor or crankease oils and the num.
bers 75 through 250 are classed as gear oils oF
transmission and axle lubricants. Oils in either
classification may be furnished with no additives
of any kind. When additives are used however
those in motor oils will generally be different
from those in gear oils.
Gear oils carry higher numbers than motor oils
but the viscosities are not necessarily higher than
for motor oils. SAE 50 motor oil for example is
within viscosity range of SAE 90 gear oil.
In addition to SAE numbered oils, most oil com-
Banies make a number of oils which may be
designated by their prime usage. ‘This category
includes turbine oils, certain gear oils, ete. ‘The
viscosity for these is generally given in Saybolt
Universal Seconds (abbreviated SUS) at a stated
temperature,
CHAIN LUBRICATION
A straight mineral oil is generally satisfactory,
but rust and oxidation inhibitors may be benefielat
additives. Detergent oils may cause trouble by
forming an emulsion in the presence of water and
should therefore be avoided. The proper viscosity.
uw
to use will depend primarily upon the operati
temperature of the oil. An unenclosed Pr tnk
hing in cold weather requires a lighter ol fhe
one that is better protected
The following table may be helpful in selecting
the proper oil viscosity. Note that there is sone
overlap in the temperature range. Between 8.
and 100° F (27° C-88° C) for example SAE 30
and SAE 40 oils are equally satisfactory.
Oil Viscosity Ambient Temp. Range
SAE 40 80°F (27°C) or higher
SAE 30 50°R-100°F (10°C-38°C)
SAE 20 & 20W 30°F. 60°F ( 0°C-162C)
SAE low 30°F (0°C) or lower
CASCADE SYSTEM
A. pressure spray system delivers a stream of
oil to each chain and gear tooth elutch located in
the chain housings. A positive displacement oil
pump, chain driven from the main drive shaft,
delivers the pressure controlled oil. This system
is completely enclosed, with the oil constantly
returning to a large volume sump for recircula-
tion. Each distributor valve is set to provide
adequate flow during run-in testing at the factory,
‘The rate of flow should be re-checked in the field
with the rig running at idling speed. A pressure
gauge located at the driller’s position monitors
oil system pressure. If high pressure results from
reducing the flow at distributor points, relieve
pressure by adjusting the relief valve on the pump,
Permitting excess oil to drain back into the sump.
Good balance between pressure and quantity
delivered to the distributors results in higher
Pump efficiency and a minimum of wear on pump
working parts. Should the pump become worn,
gr the pump shaft break, it is more economical
to replace the pump than'to repair it.
‘Tie oil sump should be checked daily to see that
the oil level is sufficiently above the strainer for
safe operating margin. Drain the sump each
thirty (30) days and refill with new oil, or change
whenever oil becomes contaminated, ‘whichever
eecurs first. Clean suction strainer at each oil
change. CAUTION: Oil in the cascade system
may in time become emulsified and lose its lubri-
city. Observe oil flow out of the distributor valves
and if these streams appear yellow or foamy,
drain and refill with new oil immediately.
GREASE,
Greases are classed according to the kind of
thickener which is added to convert oil into
grease. Greases thickened with sodium soap are
known as sodium base greases and those thickened
with calcium soap are known as calcium base
greases,
Sodium base grease has long been the standard
for anti-friction bearings in which the tempera
tures run over 200° F. Most sodium base greases
have poor water resistance so that past practicehas been to use a water stablized caleiur base
grease (which breaks down at high temperature)
in applications exposed to water as on the hydro-
matic brakes,
‘there are several varieties of multi-purpose
‘ase which combine the temperature resistance
of sodium base grease with the water resistance
of calcium base grease. Some of these are mixed
sodium and caleum base, some are lithium base
and some use solid or synthetic thickeners. ‘These
multi-purpose greases cost more than a standard
svade of sodium or calcium base grease, but they
make it possible to have just one kind of grease
on the rig.
Grease consistency standards have been estab-
lished by the National Lubricating Grease Insti-
tute. For rig use, the No. 2 grade should be used
in moderate to warm weather and the No. 1 in
cold weather.
All bearings, control mechanisms, and external
gear tooth clutches are grease lubricated through
plainly marked and easily accessible fittings.
MISCELLANEOUS LUBRICATION
Alemite System — Generally speaking, any good
sodium base roller bearing grease or multi-purpose
grease is suitable for use in all alemite fittings
on the drawworks. The grade may be either No. 1
(light) or No. 2 (medium) depending upon the
type of grease gun employed and the climatic
conditions under which the rig operates. It is
recommended, however, that the grease used have
a flow point of 120°-140° (F), and a melt point
of 300-340 (F). Unless otherwise indicated,
every alemite lubrication point should be greased
once every tour during rig operation and following
the first and all subsequent rigging-up jobs. All
alemite fittings have been made as easily acces-
sible to the crew as possible so that no lubrication
Point need be overlooked. Please refer to the
lubrication chart for further details.
Catheads — Alemite fittings are provided for
lubrication of the cathead bearings. Grease fit-
tings once each week — no more than two shots
from the gun. Excessive grease migrates to the
friction clutches and impairs operation of the
catheads.
Rotorseals — The rotorseal is a positive seal for
introducing air under pressure to a rotating shart
Air is transmitted through the shaft to the air
operated clutch. Rotorseals are sealed and lubri-
cated for life by the manufacturer.
Control Cabinets — Air and manual operating
linkage located in the main and auxiliary control
cabinets require lubrication at least every week
and much more frequently in damp climates, The
levers are accessible from the front of the cabinet,
while removal of the bank panel is necessary to
make the linkage accessible for lubrication. Using
a hand oiler filled with SAE #20 motor oil, apply.
oll at all pivot points,
12
Over-Running Clutch — The best lubricant is a
straight mineral oil, either SAE #50 or SAE 290,
No compound oils of any kind are recommended,
although rust and oxidation inhibitors would be
acceptable. The over-running clutch depends on
friction for its action, and compounds increasing
the lubricity of the oil tend to interfere with its
proper operation. Refer to the over-running clutel
service manual for detailed information.
Hydromatie Brake — When a hydromatic brake
is furnished with the drawworks, a #2 (medium)
calcium base (water resistant) grease should be
used for lubrication. Special button head alemite
fittings on the hydromatic brake require the use
of @ special gun furnished with the brake.
Elmagco Brake — Lubrication of the electric
brake, when furnished on the drawworks, is ace
complished through two alemite fittings using the
same good grade of grease as is used on the rest
of the drawworks. This will lubricate the roller
bearings upon whieh the stub shaft and drum
rotate.
NOTE: With this equipment, as with other come
ponents manufactured by others than The Mas
chinery and Equipment Division, refer to the
applicable operating and maintenance manual for
more detailed lubrication information
SPECIAL LUBRICANTS.
There are times when a special type of lubricant
is justified. Some of the super premium greases
have excellent low temperature properties. In
extremely cold weather it may be well to use one
of these’ for the weight indicator and possibly
the blocks.
Rusting and corrosion of the bearings, chains,
sprockets, etc.. generally presents no problem
when a rig is running, but it may become ver
Serious when a rig is ‘stored for a long time in a
damp environment. Ordinary oils and greases give
only moderate protection So that special com
Pounds may be well worth while.
Some of the super premium greases give very high
corrosion protection. Applying one of these to
every fitting in quantities sufficient to flush out
most of the old grease will go a long way toward
Protecting the equipment during storage. For
Protection of chains, sprockets, chain casings, ete.
against rust during’ prolonged storage. it is best
not to rely for protection on the oil that. was
clinging to the parts when the rig was shut down,
Use a compound designed for this purpose and
apply it according to the manufacturer's recom-
mendation,
In selecting a material it is best to use one that
does not require any special cleaning before the
rig is run again. There are compounds that will
be flushed away by normal lubricating oil and
mix with it harmlessly.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS,
ALL DRAWWORKS:
Water Supply Valves — Two water inlet connec:
tions supplying cooling water for brake rims and
auxiliary Urake are located in the channel face
on the drillers side of the drawworks. A 2” inlet
is provided for the auxiliary brake and a 114”
inlet for cooling the brake rims. The flow of coo
ing water cireulating through the brake rims and
auxiliary brake is obtained by variable opening
of the proper gate valve located at the drillers
position,
Main Drum Brake Lever — Actuates the main
drum brakes, To set the brake the operator pulls
Ww
the lever down. Normally the brake lever should
be at an angle of 35° with the horizontal when
the brake bands are fully engaged on the brake
rims under load,
Coring Reel Brake Lever — This brake is set by
pulling the lever toward the operator, A ratchet.
provides means for setting the brake.
Engine Control Foot Pedal — Depress the pedal
to accelerate the engines during hoisting opera-
tions. This mechanism is spring loaded and the
engines will automatically return to idling when.
the foot is removed.
Auxiliary Low Jaw Clutch Foot Control — (1320-
UE/M, 1625-DE/M only). This foot pedal engages
the emergency low jaw clutch. Use it in the event.
of failure of the “low” drum ¢luteh. ‘To make the
pedal operative, raise the access door in the floor
adjacent to the pedal and connect the pedal arm.
to the shaft lever with the 3,” capscrew provided.
Depress the pedal to engage the jaw clutch within
the low drum clutch. For electrie drawworks —~
stop motors before engaging this elutch.
For mechanical drawworks — master elutch must.
be disengaged before engaging jaw clutch.
AIR SYSTEM
GENERAL
The air control system is completely adjusted
before the drawworks leaves the factory. Plugs
are placed in the open ends of all air lines to pre-
vent dirt or foreign material from entering dur-
ing shipment.
In any system where air is compressed there will
be a certain amount of condensation. This con-
Gensate will cause no trouble if it is discharged
from the air system at frequent intervals. ‘This
surplus moisture should be discharged at least
once every 24 hours by opening the bleeder valve
located directly beneath the air reservoir. Air
and moisture should be discharged until very little
moisture can be detected escaping with the air.
Close the valve and allow the pressure to again
build up in the system.
Care should be taken to keep all parts of the air
system in proper adjustment. Many difficulties
can be traced to maladjustment of these compon-
ents. Some of the elements may cease to function
properly due to long wear, disassembly of parts
or other conditions. General deseription, applic
tion, and maintenance for these parts will
found on the following pages.
WESTINGHOUSE “H"
CONTROLAIR VALV!
The H-2-FX Controlair valve is a self holding
hand lever operated, three-way normally closed
valve for one pressure regulated circuit, It is,
equipped with an adjustable friction brake thatwill hold the handle in any position in whieh it
is placed,
‘The H-2-LX Controlair valve is a self returning
hand lever operated, three-way: normally closed
valve for one pressure regulated circuit. ‘The lever
automatically: returns to. the valves “neutral” or
“off” position from all positions except the ex-
treme travel position when the operating force is
removed.
The H-8 Controlair valve is a self regulating
three-way pressure control valve designed for
accurate control of air pressure by mechanical
operation. A cam actuates the valve to increase,
decrease, or maintain delivery pressure in gradu:
ated increments.
The H-4 Controlair valve is a self regulating
three-way, pressure control valve. ‘The control
knob is manually operated to increase, sustain,
or decrease air pressure and is self holding in all
positions.
Application: See chart.
Maintenance (H. H-4) — Maintenance
periods should be ‘scheduled in accordance with
frequency of use and working environment of the
Controlair valves,
One complete Controlair valve should be kept in
stock for each four valves in service. During the
maintenance period change out the complete valve
with the “stand-by” unit. This will reduce pro-
duction loss and afford inspection and replacement
of worn parts at a more opportune time in a
favorable location,
The operating portion of the valve can be removed
without disturbing the pipe connections by loosen-
ing studs and lifting the valve free.
No ‘special tools are required to maintain the
Controlair valves, Completely disassemble the
Controlair valve. ‘Wash all metal parts in a non-
flammable solvent and all rubber parts with soap
and water. Rinse each part thoroughly and blow
dry with ‘a low pressure air jet. Arrange the
parts on a clean white surface. Examine each part
carefully. Flex the diaphragm and packing rings,
if cracked or worn replace them. Replace all parts
that may not provide satisfactory service ‘until
the next scheduled maintenance period
Reassemble the valve, lubricating each part before
it is put into place. ‘Use No. 107 Lubriplate on
ail metal to metal surfaces and Cosmolube on all
rubber parts. Equivalent greases to those recom-
mended can be used. Store the reconditioned Con.
trolair valve in a moisture proof bag.
WESTINGHOUSE “
RELAY VALVE:
‘The H-5 Relayair valve is a three-way valve which
funetions as a nongraduated relay to provide a
18,
large flow of air from a separate source when
piloted by a small amount of control media and to
stop this flow and exhaust the air to atmosphere
when the control pressure is vented. The valve
also acts as an interlock to govern the flow in one
cireuit by placing its control in another independ-
ent circuit.
Application: See chart.
Maintenance: Every six months (more often if
conditions warrant) remove the valve portion
the pipe bracket and disassemble for clean-
ing, inspection and lubrication. One complete valve
should be kept in stock as a “stand-by” for change
out during this maintenance period.
After disassembly, clean all metal parts with a
non-flammable solvent and wash all rubber parts
with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and blow
dry with a low pressure air jet. Replace those
parts which are damaged or worn, giving particu.
lar attention to the diaphragm and “O" ring. Re-
assemble the valve, lubricating each part before
it is put into place.’ Use No. 107 Lubriplate on all
metal to metal surfaces and Cosmolube on. all
rubber parts. Equivalent greases to those recom-
mended can be used. Store the reconditioned
valve ina moisture proof bag.
WESTINGHOUSE “HA"
PILOTAIR VALVES:
The 2-HA-1 Pilotair valve is a handle operated,
three-way, two position, poppet type pneumatic
directional control valve.’ A spring opposed detent
clamp holds the handle in either of its two extreme
Positions,
Application: See chart.
Maintenance: To minimize loss of productive time,
@ complete valve replacement should be made
when repairs are required or regular maintenance
is scheduled. At least one complete valve should
be maintained in stock for this purpose.
Completely disassemble the valve. Clean all metal
parts with a non-flammable solvent, and wash all
rubber parts with soap and water. Rinse thor-
oughly and blow dry with a low pressure air jet,
Replace those parts which are damaged or worn,
Reassemble the valve lubricating all metal to
metal surfaces with No. 107 Lubriplate and all
rubber parts with a wide temperature range
grease. No special tools are required.
WESTINGHOUSE QUICK
RELEASE VALVES:
The Quick Release Valve shortens the time re-
quired to vent air pressure from a cylinder or
other pneumatic devices after an application. This
is accomplished by exhausting the air pressure
direct to the atmosphere at the quick releasevalve instead of back through the controlling
device.
Application: See chart,
Maintenance: One complete quick release valve
should be kept in stock for each four in service.
During the scheduled maintenance period, replace
the valve in service with the “stand-by” unit.
Disassemble the valve for inspection, cleanin,
and lubrication. Clean all metal parts with a non-
flammable solvent and wash all rubber parts with
soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and blow dry
with a low pressure air jet. No lubrication is
necessary, and no special tools are required.
WESTINGHOUSE SHUTTLE VALVE:
‘The Shuttle valve automatically selects and
directs the flow of air from one or the other of
two controlling devices to a common outlet. It
serves to connect two independent lines to a com-
mon line without destroying the segregation.
Application: See chart.
Maintenance: One complete shuttle valve should
be kept in stock. During the scheduled mainten-
ance period, replace the valve in service with the
“stand-by” ‘unit. Disassembly, inspection, clean-
ing, and lubrication should be in accordance with
the’ instructions covering the quick release valve,
BELLOWS-VALVAIR VALVE:
‘The Bellows Valvair valve is a panel mounted
three-way normally closed valve with a spring-
ball-detent arrangement which prevents the stem
from drifting when subjected to severe vibration,
