SAFE OPERATING MANUAL
General Information.

Vanguard supplied BOP transportation skid is designed to transport 13-5/8”, 10K BOP stack with DSA + One
Single RAM + Double RAM BOP + ONE Annular BOP, Weighing <= 28 tons. The Skid assembly comprise of one L-
shaped swing skid attached to a heavy-duty oil field skid. BOP stack along with clamp will be mounted to the L-
shaped skid for transportation. Skid is attached with hydraulic cylinder for cushioning and smooth controlled
swing movement of L-shaped skid. Test stump is provided for BOP pressure test purpose.

Please adhere to the instructions on operating manual for a safe use.

• While removing the clamp bolts, always secure the clamp with crane or fork lift.
• Double check Ensure all the bolts are tightened properly after adjustments.
• Remove the stabilizer extension pins and pull out the stabilizers outside using fork lift. Stabilized
extensions are made removable type considering for city transportation limits. This extension will come
out fully. Caution must be taken while removing out and locking at extended position.

Hydraulic cylinder both ports fitted with throttle check valve in meter out mode,
which will control the outflow of the cylinder,

due to restricted flow , back pressure will be created inside the cylinder by which we
can achieve the dampening (counterbalance) effect against the gravity fall

x Check valve – to make unidirectional flow of air in to tank.
x Pressure test point (mine mess coupling) vent the excess pressure &measure the
accumulated pressure.
x Ball valve -2no’s (ball valves are fitted 320mm from the tank bottom level (this
will help to ensure the residue oil level (about 10ltr) once the cylinder is in fully
extended position)

07. OIL LEVEL MAINTAINNING

D
AR
U
G

Periodic inspection is required to check the external leakages from the cylinder, tank
ports & pipe joints
N

It is advised to check the oil level in tank after every rig movement.
VA

The unit position to check the oil level in the tank is, the cylinder should be in full
extended condition as in above photo. please note the oil tank is provided with two ball
valves at the height of 320mm from its bottom, which ensures the excess 10ltr in the
tank after the full extension of the cylinder. To check the oil level, we need to open
the ball valve. if the oil spills out from the ball valve which indicates there is enough oil
in the tank

In case there is no oil flow from the ball valve, then we need to open the extra port in
tank top, fill the oil through the top port till it’s spills out through the ball valve. we
can also use any one of the ball valve to fill the tank, meantime other ball valve should
be in open position to vent out the air from the tank.
