Kelly bars are designed for the purpose of transferring torques and pressures onto a driling tool.
The kelly used must therefore be treated with as much care as the driling rig and the tool and
bits themselves in order that consistent drilling performance be ensured,

to the supplied work instructions for drilling rigs, tools and accessories
These supplementary instructions serve to help avoiding unnecessar
CAUTION wear. ¢ "y
A The following work instructions specific to kelly bars are a supplement
* Not all types of kellys are designed for the full torque of the rotary drive of the
drilling rig: Know the max. permissible torque for the kelly and do not exceed it with
the rotary drive.
* Kellys and drilling tools are allowed to be used only for drilling applications; earth-
moving, conveying or levelling jobs are not permissible.
«Kellys may not be used for bringing borehole casings or drilling tools into alignment.
+ Kellys may be operated with free-fall facility only as long as the total load on the
kelly rope does not exceed half of the max. pulling capacity of the corresponding
winch,

Pulling capacity of main Weight of kelly: 7.6 tonnes (see chapter
winch is 20 tonnes (type 4/44) "Tech. Data")
+ +
Weight of auger bit! 1.6 tonnes (see imprint
1500 mm) on tool)
Calculation: 20 tonnes 0 tonnes > Total: 9.2 tonnes
Summation: _ Kelly may still be used with free-fall.
* With a kelly inserted in a borehole, it is no longer allowed to make any readjust-
ments with the base machine or at the mast of the drilling rig.
Exception:
If the mast is displaced from is initial working angle, due to the working forces, it
must be readjusted
A Kelly and mast be parallel at all times of operation
