TABLE OF CONTENTS
The pumping units consist of large and heavy rotating parts. When working around these
machines, it is essential that all personnel involved with the installation, assembly, operation
and maintenance of the pumping units use extreme care and good safety practices at all time.
Failure to use extreme care when working with them can cause severe bodily injury or death.
During assembly of pumping units, a hoisting supervisor should give direction for all hoisting
operations and be located where he is readily visible to hoist /crane operator and can view all of
the hoisting operations. All persons should exercise extreme caution and stay clear of all objects
being hoisted. When working on ladders or work stand, insure adequate footing and holds to
securely assemble the large components.
It should be noted that a pumping unit has components, which can start moving from the
effect of gravity. All personnel should stay clear of the crank and counterweights or other
elements, which may start moving. Times of particular danger from rotating or moving parts
would be during assembly, stroke change, counterbalance change, general maintenance of any
kind. The pumping unit is equipped with a braking system, but the operator should also devise
safety stops from heavy timbers or metal tubing/channels that can be placed under or against
the crank. When the long end of the crank arm is straight down, no rotation will start when the
power source is disengaged, provided the carrier bar has not yet been attached to the polished
rod or the well is clamped off.
All electrical labor must be performed by a qualified electrician, especially on pumping units
that utilize electric motors, or other related electrical devices. The electrical components should
be regularly inspected and maintained in a safe operating condition by a qualified electrician.
Do not operate the pumping unit unless all safety shields and crank guard are securely
fastened in place.

CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION
Notice: Before installation, consider stroke length, carrier bar lower dead point height and
wellhead height enough to make appropriate height concrete foundation. We suggest that
concrete foundation height should be in the range from 15.75in—23.622in.
1. FOUNDATION
The foundation uses 400# concrete. Prefabricate 200# concrete. Customer can make integral
foundation or segment. Please see Figure 2.
The foundation should be positioned in accordance with a foundation plan only. A copy of
this plan is shipped with the unit. This foundation plan shows the hold down bolt location in
relation to the wellhead, bolt and anchor nut sizes and number. No attempt is made on the
foundation plan to prescribe the shape, depth nor characteristics of the foundation. The
contractor must supply this information based on their knowledge of and experience with the
soil conditions as they exist at the well site and assume full responsibility for the quality of the
foundation.
Foundation tie down bolts must be hammered tightly after concrete has been set up and
pumping unit base alignment is complete. The foundation plan is shown as Figure 2
The bottom of concrete foundation must be filled with gravel. Unsteady foundation may
cause the broken of the unit's base easily. Levelness of the concrete foundation upper surface
should be checked from front back&right left directions and draw out the foundation's central
line. The central line shall point straightly to the wellhead center. Their lateral differential is not
over 10mm (0.4in)

CHAPTER 6 ADJUSTMENT
1. COUNTERBALANCE ADJUSTMENT
Efficient operation, torque loading, and maximum life of a pumping unit are all dependent on
the proper counterbalance. Counterbalance requirements can be determined very accurately or
estimated by various methods.
1) Polished rod dynamometer:
A dynamometer card analysis is the most accurate method for determining loading and
counterbalance. This involves using a dynamometer to record the well load through a stroke
cycle and then using torque factors to determine the reducer torque and counterbalance
required for balanced conditions.
2) Ammeter:
A clip on ammeter may be used to compare the upstroke and down stroke current on
electrically powered units. When the counterbalance is adjusted so that the current peaks are
equal, the unit will be roughly in balance.
3) Vacuum Gauge:
A vacuum gauge may be used to compare torque peaks on engine driven units much like the
ammeter is used on electrically driven units. Vacuum pressure decreases as engine output
increases.
4) Sound of the Prime Mover:
An approximate estimation of balance can be made by listening to the characteristic sound of
the prime mover as it drives the unit. Some speed change will occur as the peak loads are
approached-, speed changes will cause the sound of the prime mover to vary.
5) Belt Tension:
Belt tension and subsequent belt stretch increases with load. This causes an proportional
amount of slack in the belts on the side opposite the direction of rotation of the prime mover. A
visual inspection of the belt sag on upstroke or down stroke can be used to estimate
counterbalance.
Counterweight Adjustment
Rotate the unit and apply the brake so that the crank is slightly downhill in the direction that
the weights are to be moved. Set the brake, engage the brake lockout bolt or pawl, and secure
the cranks against rotation. Loosen the counterweight bolts just enough to allow the weights to
be moved. Use the pinion adjusting wrench to move the weights to the desired position. It is
important to note that larger weights may have to be moved with the aid of a crane or a pry bar.
The weight on the crank may be moved in a similar manner. After positioning the weights in the
desired location, tighten the counterweight bolts utilizing recommended levels of tightness, and
20

Step 1: Use a safe solvent to clean the wrist Pin, wrist Pin hole, and
the surface of the crank that the nut will seat against. Remove all
paint, burrs, and other foreign matter from these areas. Always
21
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PUMPING UNITS
inspect the wrist Pin and hole surfaces for rust or wear, as these conditions may indicate that
the wrist Pin was loose. Use a spot bluing to check the contact between the pins and the new
holes.
Step 2: Adjust come-a-longs to line up the wrist Pin s with
the proper holes for the stoke length desired. Apply a light coat of oil
on the tapered pin, threads, and wrist Pin hole. All excess oil should
be wiped off with a clean cloth prior to inserting the wrist Pin high
alloy bushing into the crank hole.
Step 4: Using the box end hammer wrench, tighten the wrist Pin nut.
This will establish the metal to metal position for the final tightening
procedure.
Before erecting the pumping unit, preliminary equilibrium should be calculated and adjusted
according to the situation of the oil well and the pumping unit, in order to avoid the serious
non-balance when the pumping unit working.
1) Balance Torque Required

3. Calculating on Exactly Adjusting Balance in Operation
After the pumping unit begins to work, the balance should be exactly adjusted within 48 hours.
When the work factor of the pumping unit adjusted, the balance should be exactly adjusted at
once.
According to the pumping unit working condition, oil well pump and pumping rod, the balance
should be adjusted in order that the pumping unit should work under the best balance condition.
Now we can adjust and calculate according to the following two method:
a. Current Method
M I −I
m ZX = Umax Dmax ⒂
QCW IU max + I Dmax
Note:
mZX Distance that the assembly gravity center of the crank counterweight should move in
order to reach to the balance (m)
mZX >0, meaning that the assembly gravity center should depart from the crank axis center
to moving outside
mZX <0 meaning that the assembly gravity center should move to the crank axis center
M calculating according to the following methods:
M = Mn max =30 S +0.236 S ( Pmax - Pmin ).. ⒃
M = Mn max =0.236 S ( Pmax - Pmin )-100 N 2 ⒄
M = M X = M C + QCW Z X + G × TF 75° ⒅
Note:
Mn max the maximum net torque of the crank axis
M X effective counterbalance torque (Nm)
Pmax and Pmin have the same meaning as the above, but Pmax and Pmin should be obtained
from the indicator diagram in the near future.
According to calculated
mZX to adjust balance.
Note: current method has its limits. When pumping unit is imbalance seriously, that is, one of the
IUmax or the IDmax is motor generated feedback current, this formula can’t be used.
26
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PUMPING UNITS
When IUmax<0, move the balance weight to the crank shaft center closely; When IDmax <0, move
the balance weight to the crank shaft center far away; When IUmax>0 and IDmax >0, according to
current method to calculate accurately.
Judging motor generated feedback current in upward stroke or down stroke has two ways,
One way: if panel box has installed watt-hour meter, see if the watt-hour meter aluminous pan
reverse in upward stroke or down stroke max current. If reverse, there is feedback current.
The second way: when the pumping unit max current in upward stroke or down stroke, hear
motor sound and see motor rotate speed, if the rotate speed has exceeded rated value, there is
feedback current.
b. Torque Method
step 1: calculating on the net torque of the reducer (Mn)
Mw = TF ×( W - G ) ⒆
Mn = TF ×( W - G )- M × sin ( − ) ⒇
Note:
Mw torque of the polished rod (Nm)
Mn net torque of the reducer (Nm)
TF torque factor at
W the load of the landing top, the crank angle
M the maximum torque of the rotation balance weight Nm
crank angle of rotation (°)
τ Phase out crank angle
M = M C + QCW Z X (21)
The value of W can be obtained from the indicator diagram in the near future according to the
calculating case of SY5050-84 standard, operation and maintenance of the beam pumping unit
A.3 the factor of the polish rod place required, please refer to the table 4;

counterweights.
Step 4: calculating the balance torque M BT
| MU max | + | M Dmin |
M BT = ⒄
| sin U | + | sin D |
Note:
M BT Balance torque Nm
MUmax and M Dmin same to the above mentioned, that is to say, they can be obtained through
calculating indicator diagram of work in the near future and reading max in the upward stroke ,
Step 5: calculating the place of the gravity center of the counter weight ( ZX )
Z X Can be calculated according to the formula 12
According to Z X to adjust pumping unit balance.
If the balance rate can’t reach 100%, MUmax may be bigger than M Dmin .
4. Balance Rate of the Reducer Net Torque
Calculating the net torque of the reducer, the balance rate BR should be more than 85%:
| M nUmax | − | M n Dmin |
BR = 1 − 100%
⒅
M nUmax
Note:
BR balance rate, BR ≥85%。
MnUmax the maximum moment of torsion of the upstroke reducer (Nm)
MnDmin the minimum monument of torsion of the down-stroke reducer (Nm)
