Introduction

TD35OP PORTABLE TOP DRIVE

This manual is published as a general guide for the normal care and operation of your NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO Top Drive. Because of the many factors, which normally contribute to the proper function or malfunction of the Top Drive, 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 and understandable instructions, these situations must then be referred to NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO. When other than routine maintenance or servicing is necessary, it can be most efficiently performed if the unit or primary component is removed from service to an area of adequate space where an overhead crane, hydraulic lift, 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 operations of the Top Drive. When components become worn beyond limits specified, they should be replaced.

Improvements in design, engineering, material, production methods, etc., may necessitate changes in the Top Drive and result in inconsistencies between the contents of this publication and the physical equipment. NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO 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 VARCO. NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO MAKES NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESSED OF IMPLIED, BEYOND THAT STIPULATED IN THE PURCHASE CONTRACT. The drawings, pictures and photographs may be of similar equipment and may not appear exactly like your product. The function and the operating instructions should be valid for your product.

Introduction SAFETY NOTICES

TD35OP PORTABLE TOP DRIVE

The following safety notices were compiled from the Care and Operation Manual and are presented here for quick and easy reference. Carefully review the Care and Operation Manual to insure that all safety concerns are fully understood.

DANGER

Items that can result in personal injury are preceded by DANGER warnings.

CAUTION

Items that can result in equipment damage are preceded by CAUTION warnings. Although CAUTION warnings are noted for potential equipment damage, personal injury is always a possibility and must be taken into account.

DANGER To avoid electric shock, only qualified electricians should connect electrical power to the Bowen TD35OP Top Drive. Keep personnel clear of extended elevators at all times as severe personal injury could result if the elevators dropped rapidly. Do not drain swivel oil after unit has been in prolonged operation. The temperature of the oil may be as much as thirty (30) degrees higher than the exterior of the swivel case and drive casing. Do not rotate the pipe handling system when greasing the upper assembly bearing as severe personal injury could result. Do not operate top drive when greasing washpipe packing as personal injury could result. CAUTION The elevators and links will move forward abruptly. Insure that the elevator has free travel beyond the mouse hole. Do not have the speed set above 25 rpm, as smaller drill pipe tool joint connections may over torque. Do not use clamp pressures greater than is required for the tool joints that are being run, as backup clamps may damage the tool joint leading to connection failure during operation. The kelly valve actuator weighs approximately 200 pounds and must not be handled without a suitable lifting device. Do not over tighten the link adapter compensator adjustment nut, or the link adapter will not seat against the load collar while loaded and severe equipment damage could result.

General Operating Procedures TD35OP PORTABLE TOP DRIVE START-UP PROCEDURE FOR TD35OP AFTER COMPLETION OF RIG UP
Due to the various configurations available for the Bowen Model TD35OP Top Drive, some component locations may be different from what is called out in this Stan-up and Maintenance Guide. The components still function the same; only the location is different.

POWER UNIT START-UP


1. Observe Supply Air Pressure gauge on local control gauge panel (see figure 2) to verify steady 100 psi (minimum) air supply.

2. Switch Power switch to 110 VAC Line In and confirm AC supply by observing the 110 VAC Line In and the Low Charge Pressure indicator lights (see figure 3). If power is available, these lights will be lit. NOTE: The TD35OP has an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) backup that automatically kicks in if control power is ever lost to the power unit. The system is provided with an OFF switch when control power is disconnected to prevent power drain on the UPS. 3. Insure all hydraulic ball valves are in their normal operating condition as indicated by the individual valve labels.

NOTE: Valves labeled N CLOSED are normally closed during operations and valves labeled N OPEN are normally opened during operations. 4. Check to be certain the air intake flapper valves on the engine are in the open position and that the AMOT control has been reset. Shift the three position Engine Speed selector switch on the local junction box to Idle (see figure 3). Shift the three position Local Control-Start-Remote Control (L-S-R) selection switch on the local junction box to Start.
