Section 6: Maintenance and Service

MAINTENANCE
For problems and major service tune-ups, please contact Canrig Service directly.

Wrench must be immediately decommissioned and subject to Internal

Inspection upon the occurrence of any of the following:
1. Wrench fails to grip securely.
2. Unusual noise emanating from within the wrench or spinner
roller assemblies. This could indicate possible failure.
3. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the wrench.
4. Unusual amounts of particulate and/or other
contaminants in the hydraulic fluid, as found during
Performance or Preventative Inspections.
Failure to comply could lead to loss of control of the wrench,
result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Installation
x Clean out tracks and around the horizontal transducer EVERY SHIFT
x Check condition of tong dies DAILY. Replace when tips of teeth are flattened more than
1/16th of an inch wide

Lubrication and Maintenance

General Recommendations
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 12C (20F) lower than the
minimum ambient temperature. The use of in-tank oil heaters to preheat the oil is
recommended in cold temperature applications. This will reduce the start-up temperatures
and allow the use of a higher ISO grade of oil.
Under continuous operating conditions the temperature of the oil at any point in the system
should not exceed 82C (180F). 27- 60C (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.

*If the operating temperature of the oil exceeds the recommendation, the oil should be changed to the appropriate ISO
grade to prevent equipment damage.
**Use of tank heaters recommended for cold temperature start-up.

Filtration
The finer the filtration the better the achieved purity Grade of the hydraulic oil and the
longer the life of the components. To ensure the optimum operation of the hydraulic
system a minimum cleanliness level should be maintained of:
9 To NAS 1638
6 To SAE
18/15 To ISO/DIS 4406

Revision April 2011

Section 6: Maintenance and Service

Changing Oil and Filters
Oil Filters should be changed when the filter pressure (DP) gauge shows in the red while
the wrench is running. Operator must watch the gauge while the wrench is in operation.
Hydraulic Oil change should be performed at minimum every 3000 hours of operation or
annually, which ever is less. Oil analysis can be performed to more accurately determine
oil quality and the contaminant level in the system.
In the Settings Screen, the Pump meter will indicate the number of hours the unit has been
running.

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING OIL FILTERS

!

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not

allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

Spin On Canister Style

x
x
x

Loosen the canister with a filter wrench. Support the filter housing with a backup
wrench.
Use a bucket to catch leaking oil.
Lubricate the seal of the new canister and spin on as per instructions on the
canister, or hand tight.

In-Tank Element Style

x

Thoroughly clean all dirt and sludge from the filter housing.

Remove the 4 retaining bolts that hold the lid on to the top of the housing.

Remove the lid and spring to reveal the element.

Very carefully remove the old element from the housing and reinstall the new
element. Do not allow dirt to fall into the tank.
Re-install the spring and lid and thread in the retaining bolts.

x
x

Do not over-tighten the retaining bolts. The housing is aluminum and the
threads will strip easily.

x PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING OIL
!

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not

allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

6-6

Before changing oil, consider taking an oil sample for analysis.

The filter should be changed at the same time. (See above)

Run the wrench to warm up the oil and to ensure particles are suspended in the oil.

Place an oil pan or bucket beneath the drain port to collect the oil.

Replace and tighten the drain plug. Check that all fittings and plugs are installed and
tightened.

Fill the tank with the recommended oil using a pump and pushing the oil in through
the filter assembly to ensure only clean oil enters the tank.

Fill with the oil to the top of the site glass. Contact Canrig Service for Oil
specifications for your area.

Operate the wrench for one cycle.

Stop the wrench after one cycle then re-check for correct oil level. The oil level
should be visible in the upper section of the site glass.

Dispose of used oil and clean up any spillage in an environmentally sound way.

GREASE
Use multi-purpose lithium complex grease complying with N.L.G.I. classification No. 1 or
No.2.
x Grease all pin joints on Spinner, Tongs, Upper, and Lower Clamps
ONCE PER TRIPPING RUN (2 SHOTS EACH).
x Grease new dies on installation and ensure that the retainer bolt is properly installed.
x Spinner motor gearboxes are sealed and require grease monthly.

Troubleshooting Flowcharts
The following troubleshooting flowcharts are intended to assist equipment operators or
service personnel in the repair some of the less complex problems that may occur during
operation of the equipment. They are not intended to be a comprehensive manual listing
all of the potential problems nor should they be expected to review all of the possible
causes of a certain problem. They should be used as a guide to direct repair technicians in
directions that the problem exist.
It may be noticed that many of the charts end in contacting Canrig Field Service for further
assistance. It must be understood that if, at any point in the flow of the chart, the problem
is solved; the need to contact Canrig Field Service is at the discretion of the owner of the
equipment.
Also, your SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. The flowcharts are not intended to warn
of all the potential dangers that may be present during the repair procedure. You must
ensure that yourself and those affect by your actions will not be harmed while repairs or
troubleshooting are taking place.
