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 20F lower than the
minimum ambient temperature.
Under continuous operating conditions the temperature of the oil at any point in the system
must not exceed 180F. 80-140F 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.

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 93C. Above 93C, 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.

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.
The gearcase can be drained by removing the drain plug in the bottom of the gearcase.
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. Motor seal damage may occur if pressure is allowed to
build in the gearcase.

Revision March 2008
Recommended Stacking Procedures for Long

Term Storage
The following data and procedures are intended to assist in properly maintaining the TopDrive 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.
Revision March 2008
4-17

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.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Do not inhale solvent fumes.

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

Revision March 2008
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 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.
Revision March 2008
4-19

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 (where it mates to the drilling motor) 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.
4-20
Revision March 2008

Top Drive Drilling Motor
Indoor storage of the drilling motor is preferred. A dry ambient temperature of 60F is ideal
if possible. In a high humidity environment an ambient of 70F 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.
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.
Revision March 2008
4-21
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.
4-22
Revision March 2008

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.
Remote Blower
1. Cover both the intake and discharge ducts, as well as all drain holes.
Crown Hanger
1. Coat all pins, bolts, and exposed metal areas with rust inhibitor.
Rails
1. Coat with grease or rust inhibitor.

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.

Caterpillar Generator Sets

If the engine/generator set is to be stored for any extended length of time before use,
precautions should be taken using the following guidelines:
Diesel Engine
1. Clean the outside of the engine and cover with good quality paint.
2. Remove any dirt from the air cleaner; check all seals and gaskets.
3. Put lubricant on all joints shown in the lubrication chart of the Caterpillar Engine
Operations and Maintenance Guide.
4. If the cooling system is protected with clean, ethylene glycol antifreeze, make sure that
it has a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Be sure to completely fill
the radiator up to the radiator cap with coolant mixture. Do not leave an air space.
If the stored engine will never be subjected to below-freezing temperatures, completely
drain the fresh water system; remove the drain plugs from the engine block, oil cooler,
heat exchanger body and radiator, if so equipped. If freezing temperatures are
possible, follow procedures given in item 4 above.
5. Oil filter elements do not need to be changed. If the lube oil has been used 50 hours or
less, leave it in the sump and add VCI-10 at the rate of 3 to 4% by volume. If the lube
oil has been used more than 50 hours, change it and add VCI-10 oil at the rate of 3 to
4%.
NOTE:
If the engine crankcase is full, drain enough lubricant to add the

mixture.
6. Remove the air filter elements. Turn the engine at cranking speed with throttle control
in fuel OFF position, and use a sprayer to add a mixture of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50%
engine oil into the air intake or turbocharger inlet. Re-install the air filter elements.
Completely enclose the elements with dark plastic bags and seal them with tape.
Replace the air filter covers. Put tape over all openings to seal VCL vapors in the
engine.
NOTE:
THIS IS CRITICAL TO PREVENT LOSS OF THE PROTECTIVE VAPORS.
7. Use a sprayer to put a mixture of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil into the exhaust
openings. Minimum application rate is 5.5 ml per liter (3 oz. Per 1000 cubic inches) of
engine displacement. Seal exhaust pipe, including any drain holes in the muffler.
4-26
Revision March 2008

8. Remove the fuel from the secondary fuel filter housing or empty and re-install the fuel
filter element to remove any dirt and water. Drain the fuel injection pump (sleeve
metering only). Clean the primary fuel filter; fill with calibration oil or kerosene and
operate the primary pump. This will get clean oil to the secondary fuel filter and any
water or dirt from the inside of the fuel tank. Use a spray of 30 ml (1 oz.) of VCI-10 oil
per each 30 L (7.50 gal) of tank capacity to prevent rust in the fuel tank. Add 15 ml (per
liter of fuel) of commercial biocide (biobor JF) to the fuel. Seal all openings to the tank
to prevent evaporation of the fuel and preservative.
9. Remove the fuel nozzles and put 30 ml (1 oz.) of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil in
each cylinder. Install fuel nozzles or spark plugs and tighten all fittings to the correct
torque. Use a bar (or turning tool) to run the engine over slowly to put the oil on the
cylinder walls.
10. Spray a thin amount of 50% VCI-10 oil and 50% engine oil on the flywheel, ring gear
teeth and starter pinion. Install the covers to keep in the VCI-10 vapors.
11. Put a heavy amount of multipurpose grease on all outside parts that move, such as rod
threads, ball joints, linkage, etc.
Note:
Install all covers and make sure that tape has been installed over all
openings, air intake, exhaust openings, flywheel housing, crankcase
breathers, dipstick tubes, etc. Make sure all covers are air tight and
weatherproof.
12. Under most conditions, it is best to remove the batteries and use them in another
application, or put them in storage where they can be checked and electrically charged
again when needed. If the batteries are not removed, wash the tops of the batteries
until they are clean. Disconnect the battery terminals. Secure the cover over the
batteries.
13. Loosen all fan, alternator belts, etc.
14. Attach a tag to the engine with a notation of the date that the unit was preserved.
If the engine shows signs of corrosion at the check intervals repeat the protection
procedure. It is not necessary to remove the preservative oil mixture before operating the
engine. If a compartment under protection of VDL vapors is opened put more VCL mixture
in to make up for the vapor loss.
Revision March 2008

Generators
1. When a generator is in storage, moisture condenses in the windings. To minimize
condensation, when possible, store the generator in a dry storage area. Seal all
openings with tape.
2. If a brush-type generator (SRCR) is to be in storage for a long time, lift the brushes off
the slip ring to prevent damage to the slip ring by chemical action. Attach a tag to the
generator stating that the brushes have been lifted.
Note:
Before start-up of a generator use a megohmeter to check insulation

resistance for moisture and/or foreign material.
To remove moisture caused by high humidity or dampness, use one of the following
methods to dry the generator.
Put the generator in an oven at a temperature of not more than 185F (85C) for four
hours.
Note:
If an oven is used for drying, use a forced air-type rather than a radianttype. Radiant ovens can cause localized overheating.
Space heaters of the type used in the Top Drive drilling motor can be installed in the
generator. These heaters heat the windings to remove moisture and should be
connected at all times in high humidity conditions.
Use a canvas enclosure around the generator and heating lamps to increase the
ambient temperature. Make an opening in the top of the canvas to release the
moisture.
Send a low voltage current through the windings to increase the temperature of the
windings to 85F.
Note:
4-28
If there is a possibility that insulation resistance has lowered to a

dangerous level, contact Canrig or your nearest Caterpillar dealer.
Revision March 2008
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 1015 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.
Revision March 2008
4-29

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
or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise
which are not covered sufficiently in this text, the matter should be referred to Canrig

Recommended Storage Instructions for

Top Drive Drilling Motors
WARNING:
Cleaning solvents may be toxic and/or flammable. They can cause

serious or fatal injury if used without proper precautions. For
safety:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Do not inhale solvent fumes.

Use solvents only in adequately ventilated areas.
Avoid contact of solvent with skin.
Do not expose solvent to flame or sparks.
Observe caution statements issued by the manufacturer of the
solvent.
When placing Canrig Top Drive Drilling Motors into storage, the following preparations
should be undertaken to prevent damage to the equipment as a result of storage:
1. Machines should be placed on a pallet and stored indoors if possible. A clean, dry ambient
temperature of 60F is preferred. In a high humidity environment, an ambient temperature of
70F is recommended. Every attempt should be made to avoid widely varying temperatures
and high humidity.
A protective cover acting as an umbrella should be used to prevent entrance of rain, dust, etc.
2. The drilling motors are equipped with AC space heaters (120VAC, 210W). These heaters
should be energized to keep the internal machine temperature above ambient, preventing
condensation and sweating.
3. All exposed machined steel parts and surfaces should be slushed. These areas are slushed
prior to shipment from the factory, but should be examined for rust. Rust should be removed
using fine abrasive paper, after the old slushing compound has been removed with mineral
spirits. Methanol should be used to remove all residues.
4. Extreme care should be exercised not to damage critical machined surfaces such as the
tapered shaft surface while removing rust. The surfaces should be reslushed with slush
compound Kendell Grade 5, or the equivalent.
5. 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 caused by the carbon.
6. Do not completely seal the motor, but cover major vent areas with a waterproof shipping tape.
Leave enough opening so that the machine can breathe i.e., moist air is not trapped. The
intention is to prevent entrance of water, rust, small animals, but not to seal airtight. We do not
recommend use of silica gel or dehydrating agents.
7. 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.
8. 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 are
inadequate.
Before placing a stored motor back into storage, refer to the applicable instructions: REMOVING
TOP DRIVE DRILLING MOTORS FROM STORAGE.
Revision March 2008
4-31
Removing Top Drive Drilling Motors from

Storage
It is often customary for users of Top Drive Systems to retain spare motors, which can be used for
replacements. The spares might be new, rebuilt or used. Even though new or recently rebuilt, it is
possible that the machine has been stored for an extended period of time and should be checked
before being placed into service. Storing location and atmospheric conditions (temperature and
humidity) can cause the windings to become contaminated with dirt and/or moisture.
Storage conditions can help in avoiding dirt and moisture accumulation. Where possible, machines
should be stored in a clean location where the temperature is kept above 60F. In a generally high
humidity climate, an even higher minimum temperature (70F) will help keep windings dry. An
accumulation of moisture or dirt causes electrical breakdown of the windings.
Before placing a stored motor into service:
1. Blow dust and dirt accumulation out of windings with clean, dry air.
2. 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 megaohms, the windings should be baked or dried until the moisture content is
sufficiently reduced to raise the megger reading to 2 megaohms.
4. An electric source of heat is best for drying as it can be easily regulated and is clean. Proceed
as follows:
A. Remove the armature from the frame and remove bearings from the armature shaft.
B. Heat the frame and armature until dried sufficiently to obtain the 2 megaohm reading.
C. Pack bearings with new grease. Refer to the Lubrication and Maintenance
Recommendations in this Section for the proper type and amount of grease.
D. Reassemble the motor or generator.
E. If facilities are available, give the reassembled machine a running test to check bearings.
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 or maintenance.
Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not sufficiently
for the purchasers purposes, the matter should be referred to Canrig.

Revision March 2008
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.

6. Remove the motor and send to a qualified repair shop for inspection and repair if
necessary. Refer to relevant Canrig and 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.
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.

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.
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 mineralbased 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.
4-64
Revision March 2008

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.
