1- INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION This technical manual contains operation and maintenance instructions for access oil tools, Inc. X series side door elevators for handling drill Pipe, casing and tubing with assembly drawings and complete parts breakdown. It provides a guide for proper field use, disassembly and repair. 1.2 DESCRIPTION The X series elevator has a simple, reliable side door, latch and safety latch that simultaneously locks when the door closes. The X series elevator is available in capacity of 65 and 150 tons. Sizes range from 3-1/2 though 13-3/8 OD pipe (65 tons) and 6-5/8 through 20 OD pipe (150 tons). MODEL SHORT TON METRIC TONNES RANGE SLX-65 65 59 3-1/2 - 13-3/8 SLX-150 150 136.2 6-5/8 - 20

Any overloading of the recommended rating or misuse of this equipment can cause serious injury or death.

2 - OPERATION 2.1 INSTALLATION As with any manual operated elevator, the X series elevator is easily installed on the links. After using a tugger line or catline to lift the elevator onto the rig floor and position it next to the rotary table, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the cotter pin and nut from the link block bolt on 2. SLX-150s and on SLX-65s simply removes the link block bolt. 3. Hook the small end of the link through the link retainer opening. 4. Replace the link retainer bolt and link bolt nut. 5. Repeat this procedure on the other link arm. 6. To remove, simply reverse the installation process. 7. Make sure a cotter pin and nut are used on the link block bolt.

2.2 OPERATION Operation of the elevator is straight forward. The door is opened by gripping the latch lock and pulling outward. This automatically releases the latch and latch lock assembly so the elevator can be positioned on the pipe. When the elevator is properly closed around the pipe, the latch and latch lock locks automatically (see caution).

CAUTION:

Elevators are manufactured to operate in a vertical direction. When using to pick up or lay down pipe in a non-vertical position, the operator should ensure that the safety lock pin is removed from the storage hole and secured in place behind the latch. This will prevent the latch from opening when picking up or laying down pipe in a non-vertical position. See figures 1 and 2 for illustration.

X series elevators should only be used with tubular having square shoulder connections or lifting plugs.

Be sure to use the door handle provided for operating the elevator. Keep hands and fingers clear of the elevator bore when installing the elevator on the pipe.

Check the latch lock for full engagement when closed around the pipe. Be sure that the elevators bore coincides with the type of tubing, casing, wash pipe, or drill collar

you are lifting and that there is a proper fit between the two Oversized pipe could cause difficulties in latching or possibly result in the elevator latching

partially or not at all. Undersized pipe could caused uneven stress distribution, inadequate load bearing area, or possibly allow the collar to slip through the elevator.

Inspect the bore, latch, latch pin and hinge pin regularly for wear. Proper bore codes and dimensions are given in current catalogs.

Make sure link block bolts have nuts and cotter pins for the SLX-150 type elevators.

3 - MAINTENANCE Practice safety at all times when servicing the equipment and use approved safety methods material and tools. Always wear protective gear for eyes, head, and hands

3.1 INSPECTION To insure optimum performance from the X series elevators, the following checks should be performed once a week:

Check for worn hinge pin and latch pin and their mating parts. These, if worn, may hinder proper opening and closing of the door and latch and latch lock engagement.

Check for proper latch and latch lock spring performance. Check for proper operation of latch stop mechanism. Check springs for damage, deformation and lack of tension Check for nuts and cotter pins on the link block bolts (Slx-150).

It is recommended that elevators undergo factory magnetic particle inspection a minimum of once every six months and load test once a year. 3.2 LUBRICANTS Lubricate the elevator regularly during the usage and storage to prevent corrosion. Use an extreme pressure, multi-purpose, lithium base grease of no. 1 or no. 2 consistency and multi-weight motor oil. When the elevator is in use, lubricate the elevator according to the following schedule:

DAILY

Grease hinge pin. Lubricate latch pin and latch lock pin. Grease underside of lifting ears. Grease bore and seating surface. Check for nuts and cotter pins on link block bolts (SLX-150).

WEEKLY

Brush grease on springs. Grease link retainer fasteners. Check for nuts and cotters on link block bolts (SLX 150)

4 - SHOP REPAIRS 4.1 ELEVATOR DISASSEMBLING The X series elevator requires minimum attention. When it becomes necessary to replace a part, use the following disassembling procedure:

The hinge pin is retained by a lock bar. Drive out hinge pin from the bottom of the elevator while shearing the lock bar.

To remove the latch lock and latch lock spring to disassemble latch and latch lock assembly. Grind off upset of the latch lock pin and drive out the pin from the opposite side.

To remove the latch pin, grind off the upset of the latch pin and drive out from opposite end.

4.2 ACCESS OIL TOOLS, INC. FACTORY TOOL REPAIR Worn elevators are returned to high quality condition with precision factory repair procedures. When tools are received for repairs, they are dismantled and check for dimensional accuracy, and undergo magnetic particle inspection. Worn areas are repaired by welding or replacing with new parts, and the components are reheat-treated to original hardness specifications then they are proof load tested and certified. After a second magnetic particle inspection 24 hours after proof load testing, the tools are reassembled and carefully checked for dimensional and functional integrity.

CAUTION: Do not use any elevator if the latch and latch lock do not function properly. Use only parts manufactured and sold by access Oil Tools, Inc. Re-Machining and reheat-treating should be performed only at access oil tools, inc.

manufacturing facility. Improper machining could result in increased stress (decreased load carrying capability) of improper alignment of component parts. Either condition could be hazardous to personnel and equipment.

Due to the complex metallurgy found in Access Oil Tools Inc. Materials welding should be performed only at access Oil Tools Inc. manufacturing facility.

Bodies and doors are specifically matched by trained Access Oil Tools, Inc.

Professionals. For this reason, a body or door from one elevator should never be exchanged with a body or door from another elevator.

Pins retained by riveting or peening must be well secured by upsetting a substantial amount of material on the pin or mating parts.

Always wear gloves and eye protection when grinding, striking or handling parts. Make sure nuts and cotter pins are used on the link block bolts (slx-150)
