CHAPTER 2: PRE-INSTALLATION ACTIVITIES
RIG INSTALLATION AND MEASUREMENT
To ensure that top drive installation progresses smoothly, complete a detailed rig measurement
package before ordering equipment. Rig measurement packages are available from Tesco.
Accurate rig measurement helps you do the following:
Determine an equipment placement plan
Determine the best method for installing the top drive
Identify specialized equipment requirements, including the following:
torque track hanging pad eye
components and subs (top drive to drill string)
cable lengths and specific accessories
air/electric safety interlocks
torque arrest system components
roller saddle or cable/hose saddle mounting requirements
mud hose connection
standpipe extension
Ask a qualified Tesco representative to help you complete the rig measurement package. This
will help to ensure that the equipment will fit properly within your rigs configuration.
POWER/SERVICE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Discuss the following items with a qualified Tesco representative before you request shipment
of the top drive system:
size and output of all generators
type and model of the distribution/SCR systems
The top drive system requires a 600 VAC, 60 Hz power supply. Where the power supply is 50
Hz, an optional package can be installed during the manufacturing process, upon customer
request. If the top drive unit is equipped with an integrated generator, then the connection
requirements for fuel and air should be considered.
The following figures illustrate the connection considerations to address before the top drive
system arrives on location.

Main Power Requirements (Rig AC Bus)
1. Determine a location for the power and mechanical modules.
Note: If the rig configuration has not been finalized, then select two possible loca-
tions for the power module.
2. Determine where the main disconnect breaker panel will be located.
Note: The best location provides room for service personnel and some shelter
from the weather.
3. Determine the distance from the AC-Bus to the breaker panel.
4. Determine the distance from the breaker to the power module.
5. Determine if any special equipment is required. Examples: penetration or plug
boards.
Note: This equipment is required if the three-phase power cables must pass
through walls on their way from the main breaker to the power module.
6. Determine if cable tray or suitable space is available to accommodate three-phase
power cables (from the breaker to the power module).
Note: If adequate space is not available, determine what materials would be
required to protect the cables from the breaker to the power module.
7. If the customer is providing the main power supply (interconnection package),
consult Tesco.
Fuel Considerations
If the top drive unit is equipped with an integrated generator, then the connection requirements
for fuel and air should be considered.
1. Determine the location and type of the fuel supply.
Note: The fuel connector line should be 1 in. minimum, and it should be able to
supply enough fuel for the power units maximum consumption. The fuel return
line should also be 1 in. minimum.
For the Detroit Diesel 635 hp Genset, maximum consumption is 22.8 gallons per
hour (86 liters per hour).
2. Determine the required length of the fuel line. Determine the route it will take
from the fuel supply to the power unit.
Note: Avoid routing the fuel line where it might become damaged or pinched.
3. Verify the quality of the fuel supply.
Note: Poor fuel quality might require special treatment. For example, fuel line
heaters might be required in areas where diesel fuel contains high levels of paraf-
fin.
Air Considerations
If the top drive unit is equipped with an integrated generator, then the connection requirements
for fuel and air should be considered.
1. Determine if the air supply is adequate.
Note: 100 psi minimum with a 1 in. supply line

2. Verify the quality of the air supply.
Note: If you are in an area with high humidity, then a moisture trap might be
required to remove moisture from the starters air supply.
3. Determine the required length and route of the air supply line.
Note: Avoid routing the line where it might become damaged or pinched. If you
place the air receiver close to the power unit, this might help it start more easily.
EQUIPMENT INSPECTION (PRE-INSTALLATION)
Tesco inspects all top drive equipment before shipping, however, some damage might occur
while equipment is in transit.
It is important to identify any shipping damage as quickly as possible. This allows you to make
necessary repairs, order equipment replacements, and optimize system readiness.
As part of a pre-installation equipment inspection, do the following:
Check all shipping containers for damage. External damage may indicate damage to con-
tents.
Visually inspect all principle components for damage or missing parts.
If the top drive system is shipped with fluid levels at full, check the fluid levels. Low
fluid levels may indicate a leak in the hydraulic, cooling, or lubrication system.
A sample equipment checklist is included in Appendix A: Pre-Installation Checklist.

CHAPTER 3: RIG UP PROCEDURE
EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT
Optimal Placement of the Power Module and Auxiliary Hydrau-
lic Power Unit
Placement of the power and mechanical modules is similar regardless of whether the power is
supplied by the rig or by an independent generator. The following diagram shows the optimal
placement of the power module and auxiliary hydraulic power unit. This placement is consid-
ered ideal for the following reasons:
The distance from the main disconnect breaker to the power module is short.
The placement allows straight-line access from the cable reel to the cable/hose saddle.
The power module is in the aft position (closest to the generators).
The service loop cable connections are outboard of the rig.
Note: You can easily secure excess service loop cable on the roof of the power module
when it is in this position.
There is easy access to the power module waterfall.
The auxiliary hydraulic power unit is placed close to the power unit and the connections
of the auxiliary hydraulic hose are easily accessible.
RIG UP PROCEDURE INSTALLATION GUIDE
TESCO CORPORATION, 2007 250TON EMI 400HP 880044 REV 1

Although the location of the power module depends on the rig configuration, the factors listed
above should be considered when placing equipment.
How to Place the Power Module
1. Ensure the ground surface is level; remove any major obstructions.
2. Install rig matting or another secure material under the equipment location.
Note: Ensure the rig matting extends far enough beyond the equipment to provide
a walkway for outside service activity.
3. Using a crane or loader, place the power module on the rig matting.
4. Move the auxiliary hydraulic power unit to a location within 30 ft of the power
module.
5. Connect the following cords from the auxiliary hydraulic power unit to the incom-
ing cable panel on the power module:
1 x Power cable
6. 1 x Sensor cableConnect the auxiliary hydraulic power module to the hose reel
motor.

Optimal Placement of the Service Loop Reel
The service loop reel acts as a spooling and storage device for electrical cables and auxiliary
hydraulic hoses; it is not required during top drive operations. After the hoses and cables are
moved onto the saddle and connected to the power unit and top drive, then you can move the
hose reel from the installation location to any convenient storage area.
Figure 3-1: EMI 400 optimal equipment placement shows the optimal location for the hose
reel during installation of the service loop. This position is considered optimal for the follow-
ing reasons:
There is a clear view of the cable/hose saddle.
There is straight-line access from the hose reel to the cable/hose saddle.
Although the placement indicated on the illustration is considered optimal, placement of the
reel is determined by the available space on site. Always ensure that the selected path is free of
sharp edges and corners that can damage the service loop.
Optimal Placement of the Cable/Hose Saddle
The following illustration shows the optimal placement of the cable/hose saddle. This place-
ment is considered ideal because the cable/hose saddle is situated as follows:
High enough to prevent cables from landing on the rig floor when top drive is lowered:
If the mast is 100 ft. - 125 ft. (30.5 m-38.1 m), it is 55 ft. - 65 ft. (16.8 m-19.8 m)
above the rig floor.
If the mast height is 130 ft.-145 ft. (39.6 m-44.2 m), it is 75 ft.-85 ft.(22.9 m-25.9 m)
above the rig floor.
Low enough to allow the top drive to reach the rig floor without straining or damaging
cables.
Where there is straight-line cable access from the power unit.
Note: This position is a low activity area for overhead equipment. Accidental damage to
cables is less likely to occur when the roller saddle is placed here.

TESCO CORPORATION, 2007 250TON EMI 400HP 880044 REV 1
10
Although the arrangement shown here is considered optimal, placement of the cable roller sad-
dle is determined by several factors:
mast height
strongback location and type
length of traveling equipment (drill string, compensator, blocks, and swivel)
available cable length (maximum service loop length is 225 ft. (68.6 m) unless otherwise
requested)
power module location
How to Install the Cable Roller Saddle
1. Use a crane or other available lifting equipment to move the cable roller saddle to
the rig floor.
2. Use a tugger or cat line to hoist the roller saddle to a predetermined location on the
mast.
3. Mount the cable roller saddle to the strongback.
Note: The strongback type determines which mounting hardware you should use.
Discuss mounting requirements during the rig measurement and pre-installation
analysis.

HOW TO INSTALL THE SERVICE LOOP
There are typically two options to installing the service loop:
Option 1: The service loop needs to be strung through the mast structure. A roller saddle
should be used as the service loops are typically pulled over the roller saddle and
through the mast structure.
Option 2: The service loop is hung outside the mast structure and does not have to pass
through the mast structure. The service loop is clamped to a cable/hose saddle and
hoisted up beside the mast.
How to Install the Service Loop: Option 1
Use this procedure to string the service loop through the mast structure by using a roller sad-
dle.
1. Use a crane or other available lifting equipment to move the cable roller saddle to
the rig floor.
2. Use a tugger or cat line to hoist the roller saddle to a predetermined location on the
mast.
3. Mount the cable roller saddle to the strongback.
Note: The strongback type determines which mounting hardware you should use.
Discuss mounting requirements during the rig measurement and pre-installation
analysis.
4. Place the reel in a location where you have a clear view of the roller saddle.
Figure 3-3: Service loop installation (option 1)

5. Connect the auxiliary hydraulic power unit to the storage reel using the 35 ft
extension hoses.
Note: If you need to unreel hoses and the Auxiliary Hydraulic System is not avail-
able, you can manually unreel the hoses by connecting the two quick couplers
closest to the hose reel motor. This allows oil to free-flow through the motor,
hoses, and quick couplers. If you use this technique, the motor free-wheels (no
reel brake is available).
6. Ensure the auxiliary pump is operational.
Note: If the unit is connected to an independent generator, ensure the fuel and air
supply lines are connected.
Note: When connecting to the main electrical power, ensure that 600 VAC power
is established with correct phase rotation and that electrical power is available for
the hydraulic pump at the auxiliary hydraulic power unit.
7. Bundle the ends of all the cables and hoses together in a soft sling.
8. On the rig floor, thread the tugger line through the snatch block.
9. Attach the sling to the tugger line.
Note: Verify that the slings are long enough to pass over the roller saddle and
extend to the service reel. If adequate sling length is not available, see How to
Install the Service Loop: Option 2 on page 13.
10. Thread the slings over the roller saddle.
11. Attach the sling to the soft sling on the service loop.
12. Use the tugger to begin spooling out the service loop.
Note: Use the hydraulic reel controls to hold back or feed the line as required.
13. Spool out the correct length of service loop (enough to reach from the reel side of
the roller saddle to the rig floor plus 2 ft.), then install the mast cable capture
clamp as follows:
a. Use slings to attach the back plate of the capture clamp to the mast.
b. Position the urethane inserts on the back plate.
c. Position the cables and plates as indicated in Figure 3-4 on page 12.
d. Tighten all bolts to prevent cables and hoses from slipping, then install the
cotter pins in the bolts.

14. Pull the remaining portion of the service loop over the roller saddle and down to
the rig floor.
15. Use slings to secure the mast cable capture clamp assembly to the mast approxi-
mately 2 ft. below the roller saddle on the reel side.
16. Connect the service loop cables and hoses at the top drive, the power module, and
the auxiliary hydraulic power unit.
Note: The auxiliary supply/return quick couplers are located on the auxiliary
hydraulic power unit. The power, sensor, robotics and ground cables are con-
nected to the appropriate receptacles in the supply waterfall of the power module.
These cables and hoses cannot be connected until the top drive is mounted to the
torque track. The cable to the drillers panel cannot be connected until the drillers
panel is mounted on the drill floor.
How to Install the Service Loop: Option 2
Use this option when the service loop does not need to be strung through the mast structure.
1. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulic fluid lines are connected to the hose reel con-
trol.
2. Use a soft sling to bundle the end of the service loop.
3. Attach the bundled end to the cable of the floor tugger or loader.
4. Use the hose reel and tugger to lay out the length the of service loop that will
travel with the top drive.
5. Measure the length of the service loop, starting at the hose or cable ends. Keep the
service loop tidy, and ensure the ends of all hydraulic hoses and cables are as even
with each other as possible.
Note:
Figure 3-5: Cable/hose saddle clamping location
1 - Cable and hose ends
2 - Hose saddle
When the hose saddle is in place, the hoses to the top drive should
reach the rig floor, and approximately 3 ft. of hose should be lying
on the floor.

8. Hoist the saddle and hoses into position below the racking platform.
Note: Hoist the saddle slightly higher than its final position.
9. Install the hanging sling for the hose saddle at the racking platform.
Note: Attach the hanging sling to the pad eye with a shackle, or wrap it around a
suitable beam.
10. Use a shackle to attach the hose saddle to the hanging sling.
Note: The hose saddle sling must be strong enough to hold loads of more than
2,000 lbs (907.2 kg).

11. Use the floor tugger or crane to lower the saddle until the weight transfers to the
hanging sling.
12. Install a back-up safety sling around the hose saddle.
Caution: This back-up sling is considered critical safety equip-
ment.
13. Lower the crane or floor tugger cable.
14. Attach the crane or floor tugger cable to the sling at the free end of the service
loop.
15. Hoist the free end of the service loop to the rig floor and secure it in place until it
can be connected to the top drive and driller's panel.
TORQUE ARREST SYSTEM
Before You Install the Torque Arrest System
Install a hanging pad eye in the crown before you install the torque arrest system. This pad eye
must be designed and installed to support the hanging weight of the entire torque assembly
(safe working load of 15,000 lb. (6804 kg) plus the recommended safety factor for overhead
equipment).
The pad eye is typically placed 22.5 in. (57.15 cm) back from the crown cluster centre. It is
easiest to install the pad eye when the mast is down. Discuss installation procedures with a
Tesco representative as part of pre-installation activities.
Danger! Design and installation of the pad eye should
meet or exceed all safety specifications for the
operating area and operating conditions.
A variety of stabilization devices can be used to hold the torque arrest system in place during
operations. It is easiest to install the stabilization systems before raising the mast.
Torque Arrest System Components
A standard torque arrest system includes the torque beam, T-bar, and the following torque
track sections (typical). The number of torque track sections depends on the free working
height of the mast and is shown on the application drawing supplied with the top drive system:
one adjustable hanging sling
INSTALLATION GUIDE RIG UP PROCEDURE
880044 REV 1 250TON EMI 400HP TESCO CORPORATION, 2007
17
one cable clamp mount and cable capture clamp
one 18.5 ft. (5.6m) reversible, bolted, bottom torque track section
five 18.5 ft. (5.6m) standard torque track sections
one 10 ft. (3.1m) torque track section
one 5 ft. (1.5m) torque track section
Obtain additional length by lengthening the top section hanging sling. Purchase additional
torque track sections to accommodate larger masts.
The following two sections of torque track are also included:
one 1.3 ft. (0.4 m) deflector section (bull nose)
one 2 ft. (0.6 m) torque track section
Caution: Never subject these sections to torque. Mount them below
the torque beam only.
The deflector section is always mounted at the bottom. Its tapered design assists in mounting
the torque bushing onto the torque track.
Torque Arrest System Configuration
You must know the following before you can determine the torque track configuration:
height of the hanging pad eye for the torque track, measured from the rig floor (A)
position (height above rig floor) where the torque beam and T-bar will be mounted (B)
length of the hanging assembly for the torque track, including hanging swivel, nut, and
shackles (2.5 ft. minimum (.8 m) to 15 ft. (4.6 m) maximum)
Note: Shorter configurations are safer and more practical.
Note: Correct calculations will help ensure that the torque bushing will not come off of
the torque tube when the blocks are fully hoisted to the crown.
the location of any upper strongback that may interfere with the vertical hanging of the
torque track
Note: If the torque track is to remain in the mast during rig moves, match the torque
track connections to the mast connections wherever possible.
RIG UP PROCEDURE INSTALLATION GUIDE
TESCO CORPORATION, 2007 250TON EMI 400HP 880044 REV 1

How to Determine the Torque Track Configuration (where an application drawing is not supplied)
Sketch and calculate the following on paper before you connect sections of torque track.
1. Place the bottom of the deflector section 7 ft.-8 ft. (2.1 m-2.4 m) above the drill
floor (C).
2. Place the bottom bolted section of torque track above the deflector section.
Note: Ensure that a suitable strongback for mounting the torque beam and T-bar is
available somewhere along the length of the bolted section of torque track.
Remember that the bolted section is reversible.
3. Stack the track sections (18.5 ft., 5 ft. and 10 ft. sections) until you reach 5 ft.-15
ft. (1.5 m-4.6 m) from the pad eye.
4. Determine the length of hanging assembly required.
Note: Ensure that the length of hanging assembly is incorporated into the calcula-
tion.
5. Calculate the height of the torque bushing to ensure that it will not come off the
top end of the torque track when it is in the uppermost position.
Sample Calculation
If the mast height is 102 ft. (31.1 m):
1. 102 ft. less 7 ft. (height above the rig floor for the deflector section) = 95 ft.
(29.0 m)
2. 95 ft. less 2.5 ft. (minimum hang sling length) = 92.5 ft. (28.2 m)
3. 92.5 ft divided by 18.5 = five full length tubes; this does not include the deflector
section.
Figure 3-10: Torque arrest system configuration
INSTALLATION GUIDE RIG UP PROCEDURE
880044 REV 1 250TON EMI 400HP TESCO CORPORATION, 2007
19
Torque beam desired height = 11 ft. (3.4 m)
The rig up would be as follows:
* The bolted track section would be run with the bolt section down, below the
standard track sections and 10 ft. and 5 ft. sections. The deflector track section
would be mounted below the bolted section.
How to Install the Torque Arrest System
Use this procedure to install the torque arrest track system. Refer to Figure 3-11 on page 22.
1. Ensure the hanging pad-eye for the torque track is installed in the crown.
Note: Normal placement for a standard track is 22.5 in. back from the crown clus-
ter centre.
2. Assemble the torque beam, T-bar, and T-bar clamp.
Warning! Assemble the above with the T-bar at mid-length.
This balances the assembly during lifting.The
assembly should not be fully torqued, but it
should hold the T-bar securely in place.
3. Use the tugger to move the torque beam onto the drill floor and up to the lowest,
most practical strongback beam.
Note: Install the torque beam low in the mast. Attach it to a large beam anywhere
between 10 ft. and 16 ft. above the drill floor. If you install it any higher, you
might require additional stabilization below the torque beam. Tesco can supply
additional stabilization, if required.
4. Use four clamps to mount the torque beam to the selected supporting beam.
Note: On a permanent installation, you may weld the anchor beam clamp onto the
mast.
5. Slide the T-bar to the most rearward position.
Note: Always mount the T-bar on top of the torque beam. If possible, mount it so
the T-bar sits approximately 1/8 in. above the T-bar clamp so that the torque hang-
ing assembly carries the total weight of the torque track.
6. Use the calculation method described in How to Determine the Torque Track
Configuration (where an application drawing is not supplied) on page 18 to cal-
culate the required torque track section configuration.
Note: When the torque track is suspended, the bottom of the deflector section
should be 7 ft.-8 ft. off the floor.

7. Set and secure the calculated pinned insert location (if used), or adjust the hanging
assembly to the appropriate length.
Hanging Assembly: Thread the cable of the hanging sling assembly through the
hole in the top of the top track section. Fasten the clamp plate to the cable at the
appropriate location so the hanging sling assembly has the required length as
determine in previous calculations.
Caution: Torque sling bolt clamps to 230 ftlbs.
Note: When you tighten the sling clamp bolts, ensure that the sling is compressed
evenly along its length. It will take several repetitions to ensure that the clamping
force is distributed evenly across all of the cable clamps.
Note: Use a soft sling to hold the sling in place so that it will be easily accessible
when the torque track is lifted to the hanging pad eye.
8. Use the rig floor tuggers to hoist the first track section up to the floor.
Note: On most rigs, two full-length sections of torque track can be assembled on
the ground before being lifted to the rig floor. If the rig is very small, you will
have to bring the torque track lengths to the rig floor one at a time.
Note: As the first section is installed, make up additional sections on the ground.
9. Lower the first track section through the rotary table or mousehole.
Note: If the rotary table is too small to permit the torque track to pass through, use
an alternate location on the rig floor. If no alternate location exists, mate the sec-
tions above the rig floor.
10. Lower the blocks and install two handling slings on the torque track.
Note: Thread the slings through the block becket and attach them to the top track
using the handling assembly for the torque track.
Caution: Attach the top section of track such that the top portion of
track extends above the blocks. This allows the hanging assembly
to reach the pad eye without crowning out the blocks.
11. Place a ratchet strap around the top of the blocks and thread it around the torque
track.
12. Use the ratchet strap to pull the blocks and track together.
Note: This immobilizes the track section and keeps it hanging vertically as it trav-
els up the mast.
13. Hoist the blocks until they support the weight of the torque track.
14. Remove the floor tugger.
15. Hoist the blocks until the bottom of the first section is 8 ft. above the drill floor.
16. Connect the floor tugger to the second section of torque track and hoist it to the rig
floor.
17. Lower the second section of track through the rotary table or into the mousehole
until it reaches the appropriate level for connecting to the upper section (which is
currently suspended from the blocks).
18. Install all the studs and lower nuts before you connect the sections.
Note: You cannot install the studs after the track sections are connected.
19. Lower the blocks and upper section of track and connect the two sections. Bolt the
sections together, ensuring a flush connection.
Note: Coat all bolts with an anti-seize compound before installation.

20. Torque the bolts to 350 ftlbs.
21. Repeat steps 16.20. until all sections are connected and supported by the blocks.
Note: The last section that is installed is typically composed of the reversible
bolted section, the deflector section and, if required, the two-foot track section.
22. Use a ratchet strap to secure the extend arms of the torque bushing in place.
23. Attach a tugger to the torque bushing and move the bushing onto the drill floor.
Note: Ensure that the extend frame is down.
24. Position the torque bushing over hole centre.
25. Use the blocks to lower the assembled torque track and stab it through the torque
bushing.
26. When the torque bushing is in position, pin it in place.
Note: Ensure that the top drive pin ends are at least 8 ft. above the drill floor. If
the torque bushing is too tight to move freely along the torque track, adjust the
torque bushing by adding additional shim packs. To ensure a proper fit, periodi-
cally check the bushing during the first few days of operation.
27. After the torque bushing is installed, raise the blocks to the crown.
28. Connect the hanging assembly of the torque track to the pad eye.
29. When the hanging assembly is connected to the pad eye, lower the blocks until the
weight of the track is transferred to the pad eye.
Note: Do not remove the handling assembly yet. Use the blocks to raise and lower
the torque track while you make the fine adjustments required to connect the T-
bar to the bolted section.
30. Connect the T-bar to the bolted section of the torque track.
Caution: When you connect the bolted section of the torque track,
ensure you suspend the full weight of the torque track from the pad
eye.
Note: If the T-bar and bolted sections are not vertically aligned, then use the
blocks to hoist the track. While the track weight is suspended from the blocks,
adjust the hanging swivel as required. Up to 2 in. of adjustment is available in the
hanging assembly and the lock nut.
31. When all T-bar fastening bolts are tight, move the T-bar to the correct position in
the T-bar seat and tighten the clamp to hold it in position.
Note: Hang the centre of the torque track vertically, 22.5 in. back from the hole
centre.
32. Tighten the lock nut on the hanging assembly.
33. Remove the handling assembly at the crown and lower the blocks.
34. Install stabilization systems.
Note: These are most easily installed when the mast is down, but can also be
installed during rig-up.
35. Attach the stabilization devices to the torque track as shown in the following illus-
trations.

TOP DRIVE
How to Install the EMI 400 Top Drive
Before you move the top drive onto the rig floor, ensure the swivel yoke link with integral
counter-balance is installed in the top drive and is securely supported by the top drive handling
frame.
1. Using blocks or a crane, move the top drive to the rig floor.
Note: If using the block, attach a hold-back line from the handling frame of the
top drive to a loader or cat line tugger. Use the line to prevent the top drive from
swinging when it is lifted off the rig floor.
Caution: Always attach the hoisting line to the top drive handling
frame and not to any part of the top drive when the top drive is
installed in the handling frame.
2. Position the top drive over the hole center.
3. Lower the blocks and remove the lifting sling.
4. Lower the blocks further and install the top drive yoke into the block hook or
beckett.
5. Raise the blocks to support weight of the top drive.

Extend Arm Adjustment Procedure
The aim of this procedure is to ensure that the top drive hangs vertical and is aligned with the
hole centre. Firstly, adjust the extend arms to ensure the top drive is vertical. Secondly, adjust
the torque track to align the top drive with the hole centre.
1. Start with the extend frame retracted in and a joint in the rotary table.
2. Move the grabber box up to the point where the bottom end of the saver sub is
protruding through the grabber box.
3. Lower the top drive so that it is just above the joint in the rotary table (2~6).
4. Place a level on the top drive upper grabber leg to determine how the extend arms
(extend or retract) will have to be adjusted. The top drive should hang vertically;
if adjustment is required, loosen the jam nuts on the extend arm clevises.
5. Remove the upper extend arm pins and unbolt the split flanges in the extend arms.
Warning! Use a cat line to support the top drive so it does
not tilt forward and to enable easy access and
adjustment.
6. Adjust the arms appropriately by adding or removing shims. This is a trial and
error process that requires guesswork. Ensure the extend arms are equal length by
ensuring the same amount of shims are installed in both extend arms.
7. Tighten the split flange bolts and re-pin the extend arms to the torque bushing.
8. Visually inspect the level. If satisfactory, as judged by the level, continue to the
next step. If the top drive is not satisfactorily level, repeat steps 4. through 8. until
the top drive is vertical (this is a trial and error process and may take 3 to 4 adjust-
ments before the top drive is vertical).
9. Torque the jam nuts appropriately (2300 ft-lbs dry, 1725 ft-lbs lubed) with a
wrench and ensure the retaining cap screws are installed on the lower extend arm
pins.
10. Visually inspect the alignment of the saver sub with the joint in the rotary table. If
they are not aligned, adjust the torque track by adjusting the T-bar in the T-bar
clamp.
Note: The torque track stabilizers must be adjusted accordingly to ensure the
torque track hangs parallel to hole centre.

How to Install the Drawworks Interlock and Override
The drum clutch interlock stops the air supply to the drum clutch so that the driller cannot
hoist the top drive while the grabber is closed. Use the push button on the brake handle to
override this lockout feature. You cannot install the drawworks interlock override until the
driller's panel is in place.
1. Shut off the air supply from the compressor to the drum clutch control.
Note: Use an isolator valve if necessary.
2. Disconnect the hose for the drum clutch air supply from the control valve.
3. Connect the air supply hose to an air/electric solenoid valve.
Note: If two air supply hoses are present, connect each hose to an air/electric sole-
noid valve (one for low clutch and one for high clutch).
4. Connect the air supply from the air/electric solenoid valve to the drum clutch air
control valve.
5. Connect an electric cable from the air/electric solenoid valve to the extension cord
at the driller's panel. The cord is labeled Cord C.

WARNINGS
Electrical
If client-supplied power is not 600VAC, 60 Hz, discuss necessary system changes with a qual-
ified Tesco representative.
Danger! Electrical voltages of different potentials are used
throughout the Tesco top drive components
(600VAC, 208VAC, 120VAC, 840VDC, 524VDC).
ONLY qualified personnel should install, maintain,
and/or troubleshoot the electrical systems. A
severe safety hazard exists for personnel not
accustomed to, or familiar with, electrical hazards
and procedures.
Danger! There are high voltage capacitors installed in the
OEMV3000 Drive power module. Wait at least five
minutes after disengaging power to the drive
before performing any testing or repairs in the
module. The capacitors require time to drain their
stored electrical energy.
Supply Power and Grounding
Grounding methodology has always been a challenge because of differing interpretations of
the rules and understanding of intent. On-site conditions such as add-on buildings fed from a
common power source or a separate power source and/or power sources not requiring a neutral
conductor all have specific grounding criteria that must be met. Tesco has strived to maintain a
safe standard method of grounding so that its implementation becomes familiar to all per-
sonnel installing these systems.
The following is Tesco's recommended grounding method when a ground fault detection sys-
tem is not incorporated into the service supply.
Tesco incorporates a single point ground system when we provide the power source to Tesco
loads and/or add-on loads. Furthermore, when an isolated system (a power system that is not
conductively connected to the distribution system, as in the case of separate generator but most
commonly a transformer), is incorporated into our system of power supply, it is intended that
all ground paths be connected to the common ground electrode/s.

f. Retag the cabling to the current (correct) configuration.
11. Proceed to the following section: How to Check the Hydraulic System, below.
How to Check the Hydraulic System
1. Install a saver sub in the grabber on the top drive.
Caution: Never close the grabber unless there is a saver sub or tool
joint for it to close on. Closing the grabber when it is empty
severely damages the grabber cylinder.
Caution: Install a saver sub to prevent the piston on the grabber
cylinder from making contact with the gland nut on the grabber cyl-
inder body. When this happens, the gland nut is pushed out of the
cylinder body.
2. In the 600V distribution panel, set the starter 3M for the auxiliary pump to ON.
3. Set the switch on the drillers panel for the auxiliary pump to ON.
The green light should illuminate.
4. Check and record the circulating pressure (it should be 400-600 psi at normal
operating temperature).
5. Inspect the lines for leaks.
6. Shut off the auxiliary pump.
7. Check the auxiliary tank level and fill it, if required.
Note: Oil from the top drive hydraulic lines returns to the tank when the system is
idle. This might cause tanks to appear over-full. Check the fluid levels before you
start the system and when the system is running.
How to Test the ESD on the Drillers Panel
When activated, the ESD on the drillers panel will trip off the main breaker MB1 for drive
system and turn off the auxiliary hydraulic pump.
1. Set the ENABLE switch on the drillers panel to the OFF position.
2. Verify the main breaker MB1 and the hydraulic pump are set to ON.
3. Press the ESD on the drillers panel.

System temperature
3. At the drillers panel, set the ENABLE switch to ON.
4. Check the rotation and torque (at low settings) to confirm proper operation.
Caution: If you are using a customer-supplied swivel, it will not be
properly connected to the top drive. Conduct operational checks at
very low rpm, and only in the Forward setting. If you rotate in
Reverse when the swivel is not fully connected, the swivel might
unscrew at the connection with the top drive (and the top drive may
fall to the rig floor).
How to Reset the OEMV3000 Drive
You can use the following procedure if the OEMV3000 Drive System trips off line because
an internal protection system has been activated. This procedure assumes that the system has
sustained no damage and that supply power of 600VAC is present.
1. Set all switches on the driller's panel to the neutral position.
2. Turn the ENABLE switch on the driller's panel to the OFF position (disable).
3. Ensure the following:
The communication between PLC and drive works properly
There are no loose wires for encoder
The fans for the top drive and drive system work properly
The SYSTEM TEMP light is solid on
4. Check the fault information in Drive Data Manager and refer to the table Appen-
dix E: Trip and Warning Codes.

Drive Parameters
About Drive Parameters
You can modify the following drive parameters (torque and speed settings) from the drillers
panel:
Drill Forward Torque and Speed
Drill Reverse Torque and Speed
Connect Forward Torque and Speed
Connect Reverse Torque and Speed
Breakout Speed
Set the drive parameters (torque and speed) to minimize the possibility of injury to personnel
and damage to drilling equipment. For example, limit the torque setting for DrillForward
mode to prevent the drill string twisting off while drilling. Set the speed and torque for Con-
nect mode to promote proper make up of tool joints and to prevent damage to threads and seal
faces caused by over-torquing.
Limit the rotation speed and torque of the pipe handler to ensure the pipe handler rotates at a
safe speed and stops rotating when it achieves the pre-set torque.
The drive system will not surpass the programmed torque and speed settings during operation.
If you need to change the settings, use the following procedure. The steps required to set or
adjust a setting are the same for all functions.
How to Modify Drive Parameters
1. At the drillers panel, turn the ENABLE switch to OFF.
2. Insert the key into the DRIVE SET keyed switch.
3. Turn and hold the key in the SET position.
4. Select and set the required function using the following table:
