Before work proceeds verify that all circuits are voltages free.
Measures must be taken to prevent accidental activation of equipment during maintenance.
This may include locking of power supply or posting of warning signs on all power
distribution, control and operator panels.
In case of malfunction in the electric supply, (voltage, frequency or other disturbances) the
equipment must be switched off immediately.
To maintain the integrity of the system, it is important that all spare parts have identical or
better specifications than the original equipment. This is especially important for all
protective equipment such as fuses and circuit breakers. If in doubt, contact Maritime
Hydraulics for recommendations.

The electrically driven Derrick Drilling Machine (DDM) is designed with a
continuous shaft from the mud swivel through the gearbox and pipe handler, with
the load hang-off nut at the lower end. A load rating of 650 Sh. Tons is thereby
obtained through the shaft without the need for a threaded connection.
A General Electric DC top drive motor is used as driver for the gearbox. 3 types of
motor cooling systems can be supplied: local cooling, remote cooling or closed
cooling. Local cooling is the MH standard.
All the functions of the pipe handler including the torque wrench are remote
operated. The link tilt system is capable of parking the elevator in any position, from
vertical position (tripping mode) to fully extended position (mousehole mode).
The pipe handler has a rotation facility for 360 continuous rotation (CW/CCW).
This means that the elevator can be rotated for spinning in drill collars etc.
The torque wrench can be used for either make-up or breakout of the connection
between the DDM and the drill pipe. In make-up mode the required torque can be
pre-selected from the drillers controls. The control system provides automatic
repetition of the pre set make-up sequence until required torque is obtained when the
torque wrench is operated in auto mode.
The DDM is designed with S-pipe (mud pipe)-, power junction box-, and service
loop manifold-arrangement for installation on either LHS or RHS depending on the
derrick layout. The service loops are 24,2 m (~ 79 ft.) long. This requires the service
loop manifold to be installed between 22,5 m ( 74 ft.) and 25 m (82 ft.) above drill
floor.
The DDM is type approved by DnV according to the following regulations and
conditions:
United Kingdom, S.I. No. 289 The Offshore Installation (Construction and Survey)
Regulation 1974 and HSEs Guidance on design and Construction.
NMDs Regulation of 13 May 1987 concerning drilling installation and equipment etc.
on mobile offshore units which are registered or will be registered in a Norwegian ship
register.
NPDs Regulation relating to drilling and well activities and geological data collection
in the petroleum activities, 1994.
APIs Specification for Drilling and Production Hoisting Equipment (PSL 1), SPEC
8C, Second Edition, 1992.

The Operating And Control Philosophy is to be read in conjunction with the
system Electrical Block Diagram being part of the DDM Drilling Control
System User Manual. This Block Diagram refers to Equipment Locations,
Scope of supply, Operator panel type & location, Interconnection - and Loop
Diagrams
The DDM-Power Swivel is designed for use on offshore rigs and platforms,
operated by the driller from the drillers house.
The DDM Drilling Control Cubicle IC-10-0400 supplied by MH comprise a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), that surveillance the DDM condition
and controls the integrated Pipe Handler.
The DDM is supplied with a DC-motor powered from the rig Silicone
Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) supplied by others. Therefore the DC-motor and
AC-auxiliary supplies and controls are customers responsibility as long as
feedback signals from the MH supplied DDM Drilling Control System IC-100400 is present. These signals are interfaced to the SCR by mans of Profibus
PLC communication.
Interface signals from the SCR to the MH supplied DDM Control Cubicle is
given on the same Bus.
The Pipe Handler is an integrated part of the Power Swivel used for connecting
the drillpipe to the DDM shaft and for handling pipe to/from the setbacks when
ie. tripping. All DDM operational controls are part of the Hitec Cyberbase
Drilling Control Console (DCC) (supplied by others). Interface from Hitecs
Cyberbase control system to the DDM Drilling Control System is done by
means of Profibus PLC communication.

The DDM Drilling Control System interfaces the SCR control system by means
of a PLC Profibus communication.
The information given from the DDM control system to the SCR includes both
informations such as alarm status concerning the DDM drive as well as DCmotor related enable/trip signals for protection of the motor. Trip signals will be
released if failure in the machine can harm the machine itself, or the
environment due to non-explosion proof area.
The information given from the SCR to the DDM control system includes
feedback for selected DC-motor field setting and DC-motor armature current
used for DDM torque calculation as well as SCR ready and DDM throttle out
of zero signals.
The DDM drilling speed & torque is controlled by means of speed & torque
adjust buttons on the Hitec supplied Cyberbase keypad panels on the drillers
chair armrests.
When selecting a SCR to the DDM, both DDM blower and lubrication motors
are to start automatically. Power from SCR to DDM DC-motor will not be
enabled unless the DDM DC-motor is purged and the SCR have received
purge OK signal from the DDM control cubicle.

DDM DRIVE SYSTEM
A GENERAL ELECTRIC US 752 Drilling DC- motor drives the DDM650L-DC. When drilling, maximum performance available is 68350 Nm
(cont.) within a speed limit between 0 and 104 RPM. The torque and speed
characteristics are free within described limits. For further information, see
Technical Description/Specifications, section 3.
The motor has a forced cooling system also acting as the DC-motor purge
system. The system consists of a blower, which sucks air from an inlet baffle
box, normally mounted on the travelling block. An 12.5 kW AC-motor is
used for running the blower located on the top of the DC-motor. A spark
arrestor is mounted at the DC-motor air outlet side in order to increase the
required zone height.
The DDM has two separate lubrication systems. The swivel has bath
lubrication, and the gearbox has forced lubrication system. The forced
lubrication system has a pressure switch that gives an alarm signal if the oil
pressure drops below 0,5 bar. The lubrication oil pump is driven by an
electrical AC-motor.
Functional description:
-
Select rotation direction to CW and CCW.

Activate speed throttle to required RPM.
Activate torque throttle to required torque.
You are now free to adjust speed and torque without stopping the
rotation.
If opposite rotation direction is required, the speed and torque throttle has to
be adjusted to zero before changing direction of rotation.
-
For adjusting the torque throttle to required torque read-out, it is

recommended to activate the air flex brake prior to activating the speed
and torque throttle. When the air flex brake is activated, turn the speed
throttle to approx. 10%. Carefully adjust the torque throttle to required
torque read-out by stalling the DC-motor. When required torque is
reached, adjust the speed throttle to zero and de-activate the air flex
brake. You are now free to start drilling at required torque. Simply
adjust throttle to required speed.

To ease the operation when adding stands during drilling, an optional feature
is added to the DDM DC-motor SCR control system. This feature allows the
operator to Spin in and make up tool joints by using the DDM DC-motor.
The Spinning speed and torque are fixed values set in the SCR control system,
typically 15 RPM/10000lbft.
A pre-set torque limit value might be set on the Hitec supplied Cyberbase
operator screen, limiting the Make Up torque when making up tool joints in
the DDM Make Up mode.

AIR FLEX BRAKE

The air flex brake is mounted on the top of the DC-motor. When the air
supply is 7 bar, the braking capacity is approx. 85400 Nm, or approx. 25%
higher than maximum constant torque available from the DC-motor.
The Airflex brake has two modes, ON mode and AUTO mode. Both modes
are controlled from buttons in the Hitec supplied Cyberbase drillers chair
armrest keypads.
Activating the ON mode activates the air control valve, applying air to the
brake. The brake will lock the DC-motor, which in its turn will hold the main
shaft in stand still position.
Activating the AUTO mode will apply air to the brake whenever the DDM
speed throttle is in zero and the actual DDM speed feedback is < 3RPM.
A On indication will be given when feedback from the Airflex brake
pressure switch is sensed by the DDM PLC.
The Airflex pressure switch is activated by the Airflex brake pressure in the
lines between the control valve and the brake exceeding 0,25 bar.

GEAR SHIFT
The DDM 2-speed gearbox has gear ratios 1:5,58 and 1:8,58. Gear 1 (ratio
1:8.58) has lowest speed and highest torque. Two proximity switches on the
gearbox give signals to the DDM Drilling Control System PLC for respective
Gears selected. For shifting gear, the speed potmeter must be in zero
position, and the actual DDM shaft rotation has to be <3RPM.
Push button for desired gear High or Low. The hydraulic gear operation
motor will move the gear to selected gear position. The gear wheel in the
gearbox is not symmetrical. This means that if the gear indicator lamp for
gear selected does not go On, the gear wheel has not been fully engaged.
Push button for opposite gear, and verify this gear to be fully engaged by
gear indication to be On. Turn main shaft by adjusting on the speed
potentiometer. Again try to select the desired gear as previously.
As it might be hard to get gear wheels aligned to allow a proper gear change,
the following procedure might be used;
If there is no pipe connected to the saver sub (!! a saver sub has to be present,
if not threads on crossover subs might be damaged !!) when selecting gear,
push button for desired gear. Clamp the TW clamp manually On and rotate
the main shaft by using the pipehandler rotation control.
As the gearbox design cause the main shaft direction of rotation to change
whenever the gear is changed, the SCR have to swap field polarity in
accordance to selected gear and direction of rotation. This is done by means
of Gear status signals given from the DDM Drilling Control System PLC to
the SCR control system via the PLC Profibus communication.

DOLLY EXTEND / RETRACT, MANUAL OR AUTO MODE

In Dolly Manual mode the Auto Dolly button indication will be off.
The DDM Dolly will extend or retract as long as the joystick on the left-hand
armrest console on the Cyberbase drillers chair is tilted to either left or right
side.
In Dolly Auto mode the Auto Dolly button indication will be On.
The DDM Dolly will extend or retract to full stroke by moving the joystick on
the left-hand armrest console on the Cyberbase drillers chair once to either left
or right side.
When reaching the fully Retracted position a proximity sensor mounted on the
DDM Dolly will give feedback to the DDM Drilling Control System PLC.
Dolly Extend / Retract speed and time settings might be adjusted by entering
any values from 0-100% on the Man Machine Interface panel mounted in the
DDM Drilling Control System door.
MOUSEHOLE TILT
The Mousehole Tilt function is controlled by tilting the joystick on the lefthand armrest console on the Cyberbase drillers chair forwards or backwards.
When pushing the joystick in a forward movement the DDM will tilt towards
the Mouse hole if the DDM Dolly is not fully retracted (checking feedback from
Retract sensor).
Pulling the joystick backwards will tilt the DDM back to centre position. The
DDM will tilt as long as the joystick is held in position.

The torque release procedure for el. DDMs is dependent on the performance
and design of the actual SCR unit installed. The SCR unit is normally not
delivered by MH and the particular procedure must therefore be established in
accordance with the actual SCR design. However, MH will recommend to
follow the following procedure.
When the DDM rotation stops due to stuck pipe or for other reasons reach the
torque limit setting, the operator should be warned by an alarm. The operator
(driller) should then slowly reduce the torque limit setting down to zero.
Above means that the applied torque gradually will be reduced which
consequently also will reduce the back torque down to zero. This manual
operation must be performed within the time limit before the SCR tripps out.

- Despite the above, in order to operate safely and prevent injuries and damage
to the machine, it is obligatory to read the whole of this manual before
operating the machine, and to comply with its content at all times!!!
Observance of all the instructions set out in this manual is to be considered
the full responsibility of the operator. Failure to comply in any way with
these instructions, improper use of the machine, removal of the data plate on
which the serial number is and other data of the machine are stamped, or the
breaking of the lead steel of the pressure relief valve shall result in automatic
invalidation of the guarantee, and shall relinquish the manufacture of civil
and criminal responsibilities.
- The hydraulic circuits employed in this system are designed for high working
pressure. There is a great potential for high pressure inherent at any of the
hydraulic components. Maintenance personnel should therefore ensure that
pressure is bled off at any circuit scheduled for maintenance and repair, prior
to loosening any components.
- Maintenance personnel should be completely familiar with the system
operation, hydraulic schematics and maintenance procedures before
attempting to do repair or maintenance.
- Non-essential personnel should be prohibited from the pipe deck and
drillfloor area whilst the system is being used.
- The system should only be operated by authorised personnel.

- Always use personnel protection according to standard offshore practise.

(Helmet, protection glasses, protection shoes, ear muffs etc.)
- The machine is designed and constructed according to the state of art and the
recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, its operation may cause damage to the
health of the user or third persons, or damage to the machine and other
equipment.
- The machine shall be used only when in proper technical condition,
according to its intended use, conscious of safety and possible danger, in
strict notice and use of the instruction manual/handbook! Functional
disorders, in particular, that would prejudice safety, must be removed
immediately!
- The machine is intended to be used for drilling operations exclusively. Any
other use different from or exceeding the purpose of the machine, e.g. as
hoist (crane), is not considered suitable. The manufacturer/supplier will not
be liable for any damage resulting from the product misuse. The user only
accepts that risk.
- The intended use also includes to follow the instruction manual/handbook
and to observe inspection and maintenance rules.
- In addition to the instruction manual/handbook, observe and instruct the
general legal and other mandatory regulations in force relating to accident
prevention and environment protection.
- Complete the instruction manual/handbook by instructions including
obligatory reporting and control/supervision referring to company-individual
specialities, e.g. with respect to work organisation, work-flow, personnel.
- Before starting work, the personnel in charge of any activities relating to the
use of the machine must read the instruction manual/handbook, and in
particular the chapter on safety references.
(It will be too late doing so during the work cycle. This responsibility refers
in particular to the personnel working with or at/on the machine occasionally
only, e.g. during setting-up, maintenance.)
- Control occasionally the work to be performed sufficiently conscious of
safety and danger and in strict notice and use of the instruction
manual/handbook, by three personnel!
- As far as necessary or mandatory by regulations, use personal protection
suits and other protective equipment!
- Observe and follow any safety and danger signs at/on the machine!

The DDM-650L-DC was measured to a noise level of 90 dB(A) when
running at full speed.
This means that the noise except noise at drill floor level is approx. 82 dBA
when the DDM is located at lowest position.
This is below ISOs noise rating for workshops.
Due to other noises caused by elevator latching, pipe handling systems, iron
roughneck spinners etc. it is strictly recommended to use ear muffs when
working at the drill floor area.

General
-
It is important to have the IBOP-cylinders adjusted correctly to operate the

kelly valve (IBOP) in a proper way.
The system must be inspected frequently and always after maintenance or

replacement of valve or sleeve and crank.
The supply pressure to the IBOP-cylinders is adjusted to 40 bars. Can be

checked by operating manual handle on control valve block. And read off the
pressure on pressure gauge item 16 on hydraulic. flow diagram for control
valves.
The pressure can be adjusted on the IBOP valve element.
Adjusting procedure
Ref:Hydraulic flow diagram for pipe handler, and hydraulic. flow diagram
for valve unit.
IBOP mechanism assembly.
Preparation for adjusting:
1) Pull out the IBOP cylinders from the suspension plate.
2) Remove the sleeve/crank assembly. from the kelly valve.
3) Open the kelly valve manually with an unbreak hex head spanner and make
sure that the valve is open. The valve has an internal stopper which allows you
to move the spanner 90 degrees.
4) With open valve remove the sleeve/crank assembly. With the crank hex.head
in upper end of slot in the sleeve see assembly.
5) Without remounting the cylinders apply hydraulic. pressure so that the
cylinder is fully stroked out.
6) With the cylinders fully stroked out push them into the slot in the suspension
plate.
7) If the plastic pad on the cylinder yoke hits the top of the cam sleeve or is 35mm further down, then the yoke/cylinder is correctly adjusted in open
position. If it is more than 5 mm then the yoke must be adjusted up by turning
on the cylinder rod clockwise.

8) Remove the cylinders and sleeve/crank assembly. Shut the kelly valve with the
spanner and make sure the valves stop on the internal stopper.
Remount the sleeve/crank assembly. with the crank hex.head in the lower end
of slot in the sleeve.
9) Without remounting the cylinders operate the cylinders to stroke fully in.
10) Remount the cylinders.
11) If the roller hit the sleeve flange O.D. the yoke/cylinders are correctly
adjusted.
12) Release pressure on the cylinders and push them completely into the slot in the
suspension plate. Lock with locking pins.
13) Operate the IBOP cylinders from drillers panel. to open. Control that the
plastic pads/cylinders retract approx. 5mm from top of sleeve flange after 2 - 4
sec.
If the distance is too small excessive wear on pads is likely to occur when
drilling. If the retraction is too large the rollers may hit the underside of sleeve
flange and start closing the valve. This will wear out the valve. There must be
clearance both to plastic pad and roller when the valve is open.
When the valve is shut the rollers shall always press on underside of the sleeve
flange.
The jump up function of the cylinders is adjusted by altering the activating
time in the PLC.

The online maintenance for the DDM-650L-DC is restricted to two categories:
1. Lubrication
2. Visual Inspection
In order to obtain a good standard on the equipment it is important that the
maintenance routines are undertaken as a minimum described in the following.
Online maintenance for swivel and gearbox:
-
As oil flushing of all lines and tank chambers has been effected at the above
swivel-gearbox, the oil swivel & gearbox housing can be filled with oil up to
the marked level at the level gauge.
In addition an overcharge screw is installed. (Before filling, open the

overcharge screw; fill in oil slowly and when oil comes out, the correct level is
reached. Close the overcharge screw!)
The viscosity of the lubrication oil is to be chosen corresponding to the

ambient temperatures. Ref. section 6.2.7.
The gearbox lubrication is effected via a separate electric driven motor which
is connected to a pump. The pump will then have a flow of approx. 9 l/min.
If the pressure of the pressure gauge which is installed before the filter unit
increases > 3 bar, the filter element must be changed. (In addition, the filter
has an indicator which is activated by a pressure > 2,5 - 3 bar.)

The swivel housing has oil splash lubrication.
For the filling of the swivel housing approx. 75 ltrs. are required; for the
gearbox approx. 50 ltrs. are required.
In the pump sump there is installed a magnetic rod to connect all the metallic
rubbed-off parts. This rod has to be cleaned unconditional with every oil
changing.

Oil lubrication intervals

-
Under normal operating conditions, the first oil changing must be performed
after 500 operating hours. Here you have to change all filter elements and also
clean the magnetic rod.
All further oil changing should be effected every 1000 operating hours.
Our oil recommendation for Europe / North Sea is ISO VG 68 (for circulation
lubrication) and ISO VG 220 (for splash lubrication).
Grease lubrication
-
All cone lubrication nipples have to lubricate with grease after NLGI - Class as
per DIN 51 818 (NLGI - Class 2).
For further lubr./grease intervals, see section 6.2.7.
Online Maintenance for Pipe handler, Retractable Dolly and Hydr. Valve Unit.
-
Grease all lubrication nipples according to lubrication schedules /

consumables, ref. section 6.2.7.
Visually check that all hydraulic hoses, pipes and fittings are free from
damage. If the steel-cord can be seen on a hydr. hose, the actual hose should
be exchanged immediately.
Recommended inspection interval: Once a week.
Visually check that all bolt heads are secured properly. Also check that all
brackets and ancillary items are fastened and secured.
Inspection interval: Once a week.
Check that all chains are free from damages and that all shackles have double
locking device (nut + split pin).
To be inspected once a week.
Check that visual indicator on the hydr. pressure filter mounted outside the
valve cabinet dont have popped out.

Check clearance between thrust nut and pipe handler. Drawing MH 1797-57 is
showing clearances and how and where to check clearance. It is recommended
to check this clearance once a week. It is also recommended to log this
clearance on a log-sheet. If any deviation should occur, the lock screw should
be loosened and the position of the fixing bolt should be checked.

IT IS STRICTLY IMPORTANT THAT THE FIXING BOLTS ARE

ENGAGED IN THE MATCHING GROOVE IN THE MAIN SHAFT.
SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF THE THRUST NUT IS ALLOWED
TO ROTATE RESPECTIVELY TO THE MAIN SHAFT.
When torquing up the fixing bolts, make sure that required torque is applied
step-wise for the 4 bolts around the main shaft.
(If the fixing bolts are torqued-up without matching the intended grooves, the
clearance between the bolt head and thrust nut outside diameter will be
reduced approx. 6 mm from whats shown on drawing MH 1797-57.)

For shut down maintenance it is expected that the drill floor is in free from any
drilling operations, and that the stop is intended for maintenance.
It is also expected that the planned shut down will be at least 8-12 hours.
The shut down maintenance should in addition to online maintenance include the
following inspections:
-
Swivel & gearbox: Change lubr. oil filter for the forced lubrication system.
Check that the pressure gauge on the gearbox indicates zero when the lubr. oil
pump has stopped.
Under normal conditions the gearbox should be opened after 2000 working
hours for inspection.
In the case of deviations, such as sudden temperature increase of the
lubrication oil, leakage, i.e. defective oil-seal rings, so that oil levels are no
longer o.k., the gearbox must be checked immediately.
After failure of sealing or bearings, new ones have to be installed. The min.
design life of the bearings is approx. 17.000 working hours.
The inside bore for the mud pipe and gooseneck is normal
di=80 mm, and the take off diameter is di = 86 mm.

INSPECTION AFTER JARRING

A)
General
The objective of this procedure is to provide, users of Maritime Hydraulics DDM,

whereby inspections may be applied and followed to assure integrity and safe
operation of the equipment after a jarring operation.
This procedure is based on the requirements according to API RP 8 B "critical load
inspection". Above recommended practice claims that the supervisor prior to - and/or
after a critical loading (jarring) should conduct a periodic field inspection and/or a
critical load inspection.
The enclosed procedure can be considered as a detailed checklist which should be
used as a recommended practice. However, the severity of the actual impact loading
must be judged by the supervisor and the extent of inspection required desired
correspondingly.
The main objective with the procedure is to determine cracks, loose fits and
connections, elongation of parts, overloading or other signs of wear. Any equipment
found to show cracks, excessive wear etc., should be removed from service. The
inspection procedure is based on that the jarring operation was performed with the
string connected to the DDM main shaft. The link hanger and the thrust nut, with
corresponding parts, are therefore not considered to have been exposed to any severe
loads.

A long lifetime and functional security of a hydraulic system and its components,
is depending on correct maintenance.
For a faultless function it is necessary to specially aware of the following:
-
Installation- and functional description on each component.
Technical data given in the component brochure.
In addition also CETOP - recommendations.
Rules for correct mounting.

Preparations for the mounting:
1.
Purity is a necessity and includes:

-
The assembly locations.
The pump/tank aggregate, pipe fittings, pipe connections (eventually.

mechanical or chemical treatment of the pipes), components.
The oil, (check the purity of the oil), the oil tank has to be protected
against pollution from the environment, e.g. by a breathing filter.
Oil must be filled only through the filter, preferably via the installations
own filter or through a mobile filter station unit with fine mask filter.
If the oil tank is painted on the inside, the paint has to be resistant to the
hydraulic oil.
By use of stored parts.

2.
On hydraulic components that has been stored for a long time and have not
been preserved properly, there is a potential risk of moveable parts sticking.
This may be avoided by using a grease dissolvent. Afterwards the components
have to be flushed with e.g. hydraulic oil.
3.
Are all components available?
4.
Do any of the components have transport damages?

Starting of mounting:
1.
Use lifting tugs and available lifting equipment.
2.
Do not use force or unnecessary power to straighten e.g. bended pipes. Check
and control that the pipes are correctly clamped.
3.
Do not use sealing compound or hemp as a seal medium. This could give
considerable pollution or functional disturbance in the system.
4.
To avoid leakage in a pipe connection, it is important to follow the instruction

from the supplier of the actual pipe coupling.
5.
Check that the hoses are mounted correctly, follow the suppliers instruction.
The hoses should not have any sharp bends.
6.
Check/ensure that the correct oil is used. Control that the viscosity of the oil is
correct according to calculated operating temperature and ambient
temperature.
Start-up
If the mounting is correctly performed, the pump unit can be started and function
tested
Preparations for function test:
1.
Is the oil tank cleaned?
2.
Is the pipe system cleaned and flushed?
3.
Are all the pipe couplings/flanges tightened up properly?
4.
Are the pipes correctly mounted according to scheme and drawing?
5.
If the oil accumulators are installed, are they precharged with nitrogen? It is
recommended that the accumulators precharge pressure is given both in
schematic form and e.g. with a sign attached to the accumulator. This gives a
possibility to check the precharge later on.
6.
Is the pump - el. motor (or diesel motor) correctly mounted and alligned?
7.
Is the motor correctly connected - check the direction of rotation.
8.
Has the right sized filter been mounted?
9.
Is the filter mounted correctly according to the direction of flow.
10. Has the tank been filled with the specified oil to the right level?

Function test:
1.
Personnel, who is not involved in the function test, have to keep away from the
testing area.
2.
Are all the shut off valves opened?
3.
Is the rotation direction of the el. motor according to the rotation direction
given on the pump? Check this by engaging the motor for a very short period
of time.
4.
Check that the direction valve has the right position, if not, correct.
5.
Set the main pressure limiting valve to the lowest pressure.
6.
If the pump aggregate is supplied with a shut off valve on the suction hose, it
should be opened. Fill up the pump housing with oil through the leak oil
connection.
7.
If the pump aggregate is provided with an external feeding pump this should
now be started. The pressure limiting valve should be set to the lowest
pressure. When the pump has been started the pressure limiting valve should
be set to the correct feeding pressure before the main pump starts.
8.
Start the main pump. If the pump is of a variable displacement type, angle the
pump carefully to appr. 30%. Check for abnormal sound. If any, stop the pump
and contact the supplier.
9.
Angle the pump out to about 5 if possible. Otherwise, start with full capacity.
10. Ventilate the system. Open high levelled pipe couplings or special exhaust
pipe couplings carefully. Wear eye protection when the leakage is clear
without any air admixture, tighten up the pipe connection again.
11. Flush the system, if possible by short-circuiting the consumption side, e.g.
motor/cylinder. Continue the flushing for as long as the filter cartridge seems
to obtain pollution. When the filter seems clean - probably after one or several
changes of the filter cartridge - the flushing can be stopped.
12. Check the functions in the system without any load. Do this manually if
possible.
13. When the system seems to have reached normal operating temperature, check
the function when loaded. Increase the system pressure slowly by adjusting the
main pressure limiting valve while you observe the manometer.
14. Check the connected pressure gauge.

15. Check for abnormal noise.

16. Check the oil level in the tank - refill if necessary.
17. Regulate to normal system pressure.
18. Check the density - pipelines, flanges, valves etc.
19. Stop the pump aggregate.
20. Tighten up all the pipe couplings, also those who seems tightened.
1RWH7KHV\VWHPPXVWQRWEHSUHVVXULVHGGXULQJWKLVRSHUDWLRQ
21. Check the oil level when standstill.
22. Start the system. Test the functions. Regulate the pressure, speed etc.
23. Rough movements may indicate air locks in the system. If the pump is of a
variable displacement type it is possible to exhaust the system by angling the
pump from one side to the other. The system will be exhausted when all
functions has a smooth movement and the oil is clear and free from oil foam.
In practice it has been shown that aeration in a system during start-up oil foam
can occur during the first operation hour, and then disappear.
24. Check operating temperature.
25. Stop the pump aggregate.
26. Demount the filter element, eventually pressure filter element. Check for
damages. Clean the filter if possible, eventually change the filter cartridge.
27. If the filter is damaged, and pollution has got into the system, a new flushing is
required (see chpt. 3.11.).
28. All adjusted pressures and speeds should be noted in a protocol.

Service
Create an internal service manual. It is recommended that the manual contains a
list of necessary spare parts. It should also contain which system components that
should be checked regularly.
Check the oil level:
1.
Continuously through the start-up period.
2.
Daily after start-up.
3.
Then once a week.
Checking of filters:
1.
Check and clean, eventually change filter cartridge every 2. or 3. hour during
start-up period.
2.
Check the filter daily the first week.
3.
After the first week the filter cartridge should be cleaned or changed when
needed.
4.
If the system/pump has a suction filter (see the instruction from the pump
supplier), this must be checked very accurate. After the start-up period the
suction filter must be checked at least once a week.
Oil maintenance:
1.
The oil quality under operation depends of several factors:

-
the oil level (is there any water in the oil?)

operation temperature.
oil quantity in the system.
2.
Old or very polluted oil can not be improved by refilling of new oil.
3.
By refilling of new oil to the system, use filter with mesh of 6 micron,
alternatively- and better, use the system filter.
4.
Collect oil sample. This could be checked by the oil supplier. Collect this
sample from the middle of the oil tank?
Check the accumulators precharge. When you do, the oil side of the accumulator
must not be pressurised.
Check the operation temperature. Increased temperature indicates e.g. mechanical
wear, increased oil leakage or lack of cooling.

Leakage in the pipe system

Leakage means beside loss of oil that there is a risk of damage on concrete floor
and components, specially if the pipes lies in casted pipe racks and a potential risk
of injuries.
Check main- and servo pressure
1.
Once a week.
2.
Log every pressure adjustment in the service manual.
3.
Frequent adjustment of the pressure indicates mechanical wear in the pressure

limiting valve.
