Lubrication and Maintenance
Hydraulic Oil
High quality hydraulic oil is essential for satisfactory performance and long hydraulic
system component life.
Oil having viscosity index of 100 or greater will give good results under normal temperature
conditions. The use of oil having a high viscosity index will minimize cold-start trouble and
reduce the length of warm-up periods. A high viscosity index will minimize changes in
viscosity with corresponding changes in temperature. Maximum cold weather start-up
viscosity should not exceed 5000 SUS with a pour point at least 12°C (20°F) lower than the
minimum ambient temperature. The use of in-tank oil heaters to preheat the oil is
recommended in cold temperature applications. This will reduce the start-up temperatures
and allow the use of a higher ISO grade of oil.
Under continuous operating conditions the temperature of the oil at any point in the system
should not exceed 82°C (180°F). 27- 60°C (80-140°F) is generally considered optimum.
Anti-wear type hydraulic oils are recommended. These oils are generally developed and
evaluated on the basis of pump wear tests such as ASTM-D2882. These oils offer superior
protection against pump and motor wear. They also provide good demulsibility as well as
protection against rust.
Hydraulic Oil General Recommendations
Suggested Ambient Recommended Operating ISO Grade of Oil

Temperature (°C) Range Temp. Range of Oil* (°C)
<-40 to 20** -30 to +35 15
-40 to 30** -20 to +55 22
-20 to 40** -15 to +60 32
-5 to 50 -5 to +75 46
5 to >50 5 to +85 68
*If the operating temperature of the oil exceeds the recommendation, the oil should be changed to the appropriate ISO
grade to prevent equipment damage.
**Use of tank heaters recommended for cold temperature start-up.
Filtration
The finer the filtration the better the achieved purity Grade of the hydraulic oil and the
longer the life of the components. To ensure the optimum operation of the hydraulic
system a minimum cleanliness level should be maintained of:
9 To NAS 1638
6 To SAE
18/15 To ISO/DIS 4406

Hydraulic Oil change should be performed at minimum every 3000 hours of operation or
annually, which ever is less. Oil analysis can be performed to more accurately determine
oil quality and the contaminant level in the system.
Check bypass indicators daily. If indicator shows RED, change the filter element.
Hydraulic element should be changed every 6 months.
Grease
Use multi-purpose lithium complex grease complying with N.L.G.I. classification No.1 or
No.2 at the following:
Ref. Location Fittings Frequency Grease Quantity
A Washpipe 1 Every 12 hours To excess
C Spherical Bushings – Link Tilt 4 Daily To excess
D Link Support 8 Weekly 10 pumps per fitting
E Mud Saver Valve 2 Weekly Stem: 2 pumps

(Model 6027E only)
Refer to Service and Maintenance Location Drawings in the Section for locations of the
grease fittings.

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.

Canrig Top Drives are designed to be used with ISO Industrial EP (Extreme Pressure)
Gear Oils. Oils meeting AGMA specifications and grades shown in the above chart could
be used in the Canrig Top Drive. See Lube and Maintenance for further information.
For approval of a specific oil, contact Canrig Engineering Department.
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.
The gearcase can be drained by removing the drain plug in the bottom of the gearcase.
Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the rotary manifold to remove any oil in the
manifold. 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.

Check the breather (located on the bonnet) on a weekly basis to ensure that they are not
plugged. Replace as required. Seal damage may occur if pressure is allowed to build in
the gearcase.
Check bypass indicators daily. If indicator shows RED, change the filter.
Lube filter element should be changed at every oil change.

These oil levels may vary with operating conditions. The oil level can be lowered during
high speed drilling to reduce heat creation.
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.

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 All-
Season 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.
Outstanding Features
● Outstanding thermal stability to minimize oxidative sludge and varnish formation

● High film strength and excellent shear stability
● Excellent load carrying capacity and protection against scuffing and wear
● Superior low temperature properties
● Good rust and corrosion protection
● Good foam resistance
● Compatible with other MIL-L-2105D quality gear lubricants (1)
Note: For optimum performance, the mineral oil lubricant should be drained
before using Canrig All-Season Gear Oil. Mixing products may reduce
the effectiveness and advantages normally gained by using Canrig All-
Season Gear Oil.

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.

Recommended Stacking Procedures for Long

Term Storage
The following data and procedures are intended to assist in properly maintaining the Top-
Drive 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.

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. Do not inhale solvent fumes.

2. Use solvents only in adequately ventilated areas.
3. Avoid contact of solvent with skin.
4. Do not expose solvent to flame or sparks.
5. Observe caution statements issued by the manufacturer of the solvent.

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.
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 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.

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.
DC 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.

Extended Storage – Torque Guide

If the Torque Guide is to be stored (stacked) for any extended length of time before use,
General
1. The Torque Guide should be washed and racked in a level position, properly supported
with timbers high enough to avoid having accumulated or run off water reach the
cylinders and cables. Ensure that it is protected from adverse conditions, e.g. salt water
spray, sand, shot blast operations, etc.
2. Visually inspect all around the exterior of the torque guide. Apply touch up paint to all
areas where the paint has worn off. Any places that show signs of rust forming should
be cleaned, painted or have a rust inhibitor applied. Recoat with rust inhibiting oil when
necessary.
Pins
1. Coat all pins with rust inhibitor.
Tensioning Cables
1. Unpin the tensioning cables from the cylinders and spray the thimbles with rust inhibitor.
2. Ensure that the cables are not kinked, pinched or under tension in any way.
Tensioning Cylinders
1. Retract the tensioning cylinders fully. Coat cylinder rod eye with rust inhibitor.
Harpoon
1. Coat the latching mechanism with rust inhibitor.
Junction Boxes
1. Ensure that all doors and strain reliefs are secured tightly, and holes left from the
grasshopper leads (444 cables) are sealed.
2. Add moisture-absorbing pads inside each junction box.

Utility Lines
1. Cables should be free and clear of pinch points and kinks. All plugs should be tightly
assembled and capped.
2. Any damaged or worn areas of the electric service loop should be repaired or covered
to prevent water from entering through the outer skin.
Crown Hanger
1. Coat all pins, bolts, and exposed metal areas with rust inhibitor.
Rails
1. Coat with grease or rust inhibitor.

Extended Storage – Top Drive Support Unit

(TDSU)
If the TDSU is to be stored (stacked) for any extended length of time before use,
Building
1. Wash and store the building in a level position on timbers high enough to avoid having
accumulated or run off water reach the floor of the skid and potentially enter the SCR
room and/or parts storage area. Apply touch-up paint as required. The building should
be protected from adverse conditions, e.g. salt water spray, sand, shot blast operations,
etc. Ensure that all hydraulic and air quick-couplers, electrical plugs and receptacles are
capped and securely covered.
VFD/SCR/CIP Panels
1. Open all contactors.
2. Add moisture-absorbing pads inside the panels.
Air Conditioners
1. Cover the intake side to prevent dust and debris from clogging the fins.
Grasshopper
1. Wrap all lugged leads. Ensure that all plugs capped tightly.
Hydraulic System
1. Remove the breather from the HPU tank and replace it with a 1.5 in NPT plug.
2. Remove the drain plug from the catch tray to prevent water buildup.

Extended Storage – Auxiliary Equipment

If auxiliary equipment is to be stored for any extended length of time before use,
precautions should be taken using the following guidelines:
1. Before laying down the Top Drive, break off the lower well control valve and drill pipe kit
if installed.
2. Thoroughly clean and re-grease the lower well control valve actuator and all manual
control valves. Cycle the valves a few times to work the grease into them.
3. Thoroughly clean all tool joints. Re-dope and install thread protectors.
4. Remove the tool joint clamps, grease the bolts, and reassemble them.
5. Relocate the Top Drive control panel to the SCR room for safe storage. Clean-out any
foreign debris inside the panel and put bags of desiccant inside the panel to help absorb
moisture.
6. All spare parts subject to corrosion and/or damage should be wrapped for protection.
Use a corrosion inhibitor paper for rust sensitive parts.
7. Thoroughly clean and apply touch-up paint as required to wireline sheave assembly,
floor stabilizer, and all other components. When possible store inside the TDSU
building.

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.

Torque Guide
1. Check that the harpoon latching mechanism is functioning correctly and freely.
2. Check all junction box terminal blocks for tightness.
Top Drive Support Unit (TDSU)

1. Remove covers from intake sides of air conditioners.
2. Open valves on inlet side of HPU pumps
3. Unwrap all lugged leads on the grasshopper and check for cleanliness or damage.
4. Ensure all valves on HPU are open.
5. Remove NPT plug from breather port of HPU tank and install Canrig breather.
6. Check all terminal blocks for tightness
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

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 Operating Approximate

Manufacturer Voltage Resistance
Vickers 24 VDC 19 ohms
120 VAC 32 ohms
Rexroth 24 VDC 35 ohms
• 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.

Recommended Inspection Program
General Inspection
Inspection plans and inspection frequency of the top drive can be developed using API
Recommended Practice 8B, Procedures for Inspections, Maintenance, Repair and
Remanufacture of Hoisting Equipment. The following can be used as a guideline. The
frequency and type of inspection can be affected by one or more of the following factors
and should be taken into account when doing any inspection:
• Environment
• Load cycles
• Regulatory requirements
• Operating time
• Drilling conditions
• Maintenance
Inspections should always be performed by a person knowledgeable in the equipment and
its function.
Category I Inspection - Daily

When in use, equipment should be visually inspected on a daily basis for cracks, loose fits
or connections, elongation of parts or other signs of wear, corrosion, overloading and
proper operation.
Category II Inspection - Weekly

This is a Category I inspection plus further inspection to include:
1. Visually inspect the following for wear, deformation, cracks or corrosion:
• Bail (if applicable)
• Block Interface
• Upper links
• Main housing
• Rotary manifold outer sleeve
• Upper link support
2. Visually check the welds on the top drive frame, guard, mounts and supports for cracks
or damage. Inspect for paint flaking or cracking which may indicate potential failure.
Examine for dents, bends, abrasion and corrosion.
3. Visually check the Top Drive unit for loose bolts, nuts, broken wires on bolts or
damaged safety wire. Retorque and rewire as required.
4. Visually inspect the electrical cables for wear, damage or loose connections.
5. Check for worn, cracked or distorted parts such as: pins, shafts, gears and guards.

Subsection 4B: Inspection
Category II Supplemental – 3 Months or at Rig Move
• Visually check the complete Torque Guide for any damage (i.e. bending or cracking).
• Visually check the integrity of all of the Torque Guide turnbuckles, pins, spherical
bushings, and wire rope slings.
• Visually check all the welds on the Torque Guide System including the harpoon for
cracks. If suspicious cracks were found, a full Dry Magnetic Particle inspection must be
made to all the welds included but not limited to those shown in the Torque Guide
Inspection Maps.
• Check for loose bolts and mountings for the blower, mast junction box, cable trays and
hydraulic tubes.
• Visually check the service loop and service supports/mounts on the torque guide.
• Visually check the blower and welds on Blower Frame.
• Visually check the Grass Hopper for any damage (i.e. bending and cracking). In
addition, check all the welds for cracks.
• Check the clearance in the main Top Drive bearings and re-shim if necessary according
to the schedule and instructions in this manual.
• Check the gap between the Brake Disk and the caliper. The disc should be centered in
the caliper.
Category III Inspection – Every 6 months
This is a Category II inspection plus further inspection, which should include NDE of critical
exposed areas and may involve some disassembly to access specific components. This
may include NDE of:
• Block Interface
• Upper Links
• Upper Link Pins
• Main Housing Pin Holes
• Upper link support Ears
Remove the LWCV and inspect the connections (including the quill pin) using NDE
methods according to API RP7G.

Category IV Inspection - 1000 Working Days

This is a Category III inspection plus further inspection for which the equipment is
disassembled to the extent necessary to conduct an NDE inspection of all primary load
carrying components and is recommended every 1000 working days.
1. Disassemble the Top Drive unit.

2. Inspect all of the following hoisting load path components using NDE techniques:
• Quill
• Spindle
• Split Ring
• Upper link support
• Housing
• Upper links
• Block Interface
• Upper link pins (4)
Prior to inspection, remove all grease, paint, oil, etc. See the Inspection Maps at the end
of Section 4B for procedure and acceptance criteria.
3. Check all bearings, seals, seal running surfaces, gears and splines. Refurbish as
necessary.
4. Inspect all the welds in the Torque Guide System using NDE techniques as specified on
the inspection maps at the end of Section 4B.
5. Inspect the end plates and lugs in the torque tubes for any damage and ensure that the
lugs are properly aligned between sections.
6. Inspect the drilling motor for cleanliness or damage and send to a qualified repair shop
for further inspection and repair if necessary. Refer to relevant manufacturers’ literature
for recommended procedures.

Inspection Following Periods of

Rough Drilling or Jarring
After periods of rough drilling, especially on surface hole, various Top Drive components
can loosen due to vibration. The following inspection procedure is recommended after
periods of rough drilling:
• Perform a thorough visual examination of the Top Drive, looking for any signs of
damage.
• Ensure proper operation of all top drive systems.
• Visually inspect the mud inlet piping.
• Check all wire-locked bolts for damaged or broken wires. If broken wires are detected,
check the affected bolts for tightness and rewire. Refer to the Capscrew Torque Values
information in Subsection 4A of this Manual. Replace damaged wires.
• Check all external bolts that are not wired for tightness.
• Check all guards, vents, and covers for tightness.
• Ensure that all safety cables are properly and securely attached.
• Visually check the welds on the Top Drive Guard and Frame, Blower Frame and Torque
Guide System.
• Visually examine inside the electrical junction boxes for loose components.
• Inspect the motor armature to ensure it has not dropped:
• If the Brake Disk is approximately in the center of the Caliper, then this maybe an
indication that the armature did not drop.
• If the Brake Disk is rubbing on the bottom of the caliper, this maybe an indication
that the armature did drop.

Wear Limits
Load Path components are designed to meet the safety factors outlined in the API
Specification 8C for certain load capacities. As the components wear, the load rating may
have to be de-rated to maintain the proper API 8C safety factors. The following are the
wear limits for the load path components:
• The nominal load rating is maintained if the wear is less than 5% for all load path
components of the top drive with the exception of the Link Support. The wear limit
for the link support is 10% without the need to reduce the nominal load rating.
• The nominal load rating must be reduced by 5% if the wear is between 5% and 10%
for all load path components of the top drive with the exception of the Link Support.
The link support load rating must be reduced by 5% if the wear is 10% to 15%.
• Canrig engineering must be contacted if the wear is above 10% for all load path
components other than the link support and above15% on the link support to get the
proper load rating.
• Sheave groove wear as outlined in API 9B.

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 (Fig. 4.5.2 and 4.5.3).
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 mineral-
based 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.

Auto Brake Bleeding
1. Clean area around reservoir covers (2 on GE 752 and GE B20 motors, 1 on 761
motors).
2. Remove covers.
3. 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.
