WARNING: VES ONLYBefore placing or removing bushing segments the following conditions has to be set:1. the trigger locking pin must be set; that the Trigger can not be activated.2. Air pressure has to stay applied to the elevator during the hole placing or removing process.

WARNING: Before any maintenance work is carried out, make sure the elevator is closed and no pressure is applied to the elevator and the elevator has to be disconnected From the air pressure supply.

WARNING: When the elevator opens and closes, there is an increased danger of being crushed near the latch (see picture below red marked area). The elevator has an automatic closing trigger. The elevator is automatically closed when the trigger is actuated by the pipe.

WARNING: The elevator may never be closed by manually actuating the closing trigger in the elevator (danger of accident).

WARNING: Under no circumstances unlatch or touch / hit the air switch of the air operated elevator under load applications. To prevent this, disconnect air supply hose on the elevator. For easier handling we recommend to install a two air switch system, which have to be operated separately at the same time.

Lifting and transport WARNING: Lift the VES-ACL Elevator on the lifting ears only.WARNING: Wear your personal protection equipment at all times.

Pneumatic functioningThe Three-way-valve (see Pos.5) applies pressure to air operated elevator. The Latch cylinder (Pos.4) will be actuated and causes opening of the latch lock and latch. The Latch will be locked in opening position.

When the latch is fully opened, valve (Pos.3) will be operated by a cam plate. Thereupon the valve (2) will be shifted and the elevator cylinder (1) will be actuated.Then both bodyhalves will open, pretension of the springs will be increased and the trigger system will move into a locked position and keep the frame open. The three-way-valve (Pos.5) has to be operated again and compressed air of the system will exhaust quickly through the valves Pos. 2, 3 and 5.

The Elevator can be attached to the pipe. The Elevator will be closed when a pipe touches the trigger. The Elevator will be latched by the Latch and locked by the Latch Lock. When the elevator is completely closed the Latch Indicator shows a green sign at the front.

Installation of pneumatic PartsEquip the elevators air supply with a maintenance unit (Lubricator, air regulator, filter) to make sure that devices operate with clean compressed air. An air regulator ensures constant working pressure and guards the pneumatic parts against break down.

Grease QualityIn order to achieve efficient greasing even at different environmental temperatures, we recommend the following grease types should be used (obtainable from Blohm + Voss Oil Tools): • Low-Viscosity grease• Type AVIATICON Grease XRF

Alternatively; Use EP1 gear lubricating grease for greasing ”non-oil tight gear trains” when temp. < 0°C/32°F.Use EP2 when temp. > 0°C/32°F.

WARNING: Ensure to wear personal safety protection like gloves and safety glasses when handling hydraulic oil and/or grease. Oil and grease may be potentially harmfull for skin and eyes.

Lubricator and de-water unit The lubricator unit should be filled with antifreezing oil to prevent freezing of air operated devices at temperatures up to minus 20 °C/-4°F.

The valves, which are necessary to provide the air operated elevator with compressed air, should ensure quick ventilation of the system.

Wear of EquipmentNormal wear of bushings and elevator ears caused by usage will eventually reduce the load capacity of elevators. The existence of cracks or the appearance of defects can indicate severe deterioration and even failures. Prompt attention is required either to remove the elevator from service immediately or to undertake appropriate repair.A condition, that is by no means rare, is the dangerous wear of the 18 degree Elevator/Bushing taper.The 18 degree taper tends to round off and less contact area to the supporting taper of the elevator will be availble.The Elevator/Bushing taper, as a result, will begin to recess into the bore so that a cylindrical surface of approximately the outside diameter of the tool joint will directly be above the worn taper.An occasionally large tool joint force may wedge itself down in the cylindrical surface. The wedging may be that of a 2-3 degree angle instead of the 18 degree’s, resulting in an extremely large spreading force.A wear condition in its early stages is common. Frequently, it results in an tool joint sticking to the elevator.Elevators/Bushing showing hammer marks around the top of the bore should be closely examined to determine whether it is the elevator, the tool joint or both are faulty. Although the taper may appear to be correct (18 degree), check the entire load bearing surface for deformations.

Frequency of Inspection

Routine daily field Inspection

Visual field inspection of the elevator in an operating condition should be made by the crew or the supervisor on a daily basis.

Semi – annual field Inspection

A thorough on the job shutdown inspection should be made on a periodic basic typically at 2 month intervals, or as special circumstances may require. It is advisable, that after field inspection a record should be made stating the extend of inspection and inspection results.

Critical Load Inspection

Critical loads may be experienced, for example severe loads, impact loads such as jarring, pulling on stuck pipe etc.

If in the judgement of the supervisor a critical load has occurred, or may occur, an inspection equivalent to the semi-annual field inspection should be carried out.If critical loads are anticipated, the inspection should be conducted prior to and after the occurrence of such loading. If critical loads are unexpectedly encountered, the inspection should be conducted immediately after such an occurrence.

Dismantling Inspection

When need is shown in a field inspection, dismantling of the elevator should be made and an inspection in a suitably equipped facility should be carried out.

Methods of Inspection

Routine daily field Inspection procedure

Elevator should be visual inspected on a regular daily basis for cracks, elongations and other signs of wear, corrosions or overloading. If any elevator show cracks, excessive wear etc., the elevator should be removed from service.All elevators should be examined to determine if the latch and the latchlock mechanism as well as the trigger and pneumatic components are functioning properly.Hinge pins, latch lug surfaces and link contact surfaces should be lubricated. Replace ervery Warning Label which are damaged.

Semi-annual field Inspection

The periodic semi-annual or critical load inspection in the field should be conducted by the crew with the supervisor.

Cleaning

Before the semi-annual or critical load inspection, all foreign matter should be removed from the surfaces to be inspected.

Dismantling and Inspection

Dismantling of the elevator is required if a unifomity detailed inspection is necessary. The 18 degree or 90 degree taper has to be inspected for unformity and depth of wear. Uneven wear or worn recesses of 1/16 inch or more requires refacing of taper surface or change the bushing.Hinge pin and springs should be carefully inspected for excess wear and obvious weakness.


Generally the Elevator Inspection should be carried out immediately when equipment is returned to the base, warehouse etc. and is to be carried out prior to it´s being sent on the next job.The elevator should be dismantled and inspected in a suitable equipped facility for excessive wear, cracks, flaws or deformations. Correction should be made in accordance with recommendations which can be obtained from Blohm+Voss.Weldings at the castings should be done only by Blohm+Voss or an authorized service company.

Cleaning

Before inspection, all foreign material such as dirt, paint, grease, oil, scale etc. should be removed from the areas to be inspected by a suitable method.

Gap or no Gap?

To identify the the conditions of the 18°Elevator taper gauges are available for all B+V Elevators (P/N 600018). A set of gauges consists of an 18° gauge (GOOD) and a 15° gauge (BAD)

How to check the bushing or Bore Code of the Elevator the correct way

1. Fit the gauge to the inner bore of the bushing2. Push the gauge against the bushing or BC and start to move the gauge downwards until the chamfer touched the 18° shoulder.3. Check the result as follows

Wear of Equipment

Normal wear of bushings and elevator ears caused by usage will eventually reduce the load capacity of elevators. The existence of cracks or the appearance of defects can indicate severe deterioration and even failures. Prompt attention is required either to remove the elevator from service immediately or to undertake appropriate repair.A wear condition in its early stages is common. Frequently, it results in a tool joint sticking to the elevator.Elevators showing hammer marks around the top of the bore should be closely examined to determine whether it is the elevator, the tool joint or both are faulty. WARNING: If the taper is less than 15°

take the elevator out of service or exchange the bushing.If the taper is between 18° and 15°, reduce the elevators load capacity to 90%. Never use the VES-elevator without a bushing.

1. Using the GOOD gauge: If the gauge sits directly on the bushing or BC without showing any clearance between gauge and bushing, the bushing or BC is OK.2. If the gauge shows space between the gauge and the bushing or BC, you have to check with the second gauge.3. Using the BAD 15° gauge: If the gauge shows any clearance between gauge and bushingor BC , the bushing or BC is OK.4. If the gauge sits directly on the bushing or BC without showing any space between gauge and bushing or BC, take the elevator out of service.
