2
fit.

3 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

• Never operate a rotary that is contaminated with mud or water.

• After a blow-out or kick, check sump for contamination.

• Extensive oil consumption may indicate a need to replace the oil seal at the end of the
pinion shaft housing.

• Proper grounding procedures should be taken if welding on rotary tables to avoid arcing
across bearings.

• Do not engage lock pawls while rotary is in motion.

• Do not drive bushings into place by sledging.

• Excess wear between split master bushing and table will result in insufficient support for
bushing and slips.
