Maintenance Frequency After each job or 10 runs in the well, disassemble,

clean, replace damaged or worn components and
check electrical components.
Application:
The 3-1/8” shock absorber assembly can be placed between logging and ballistic tools to
provide high frequency shock wave isolation that is produced when the explosive device is
initiated. The use of this tool does not guarantee total protection, but field data indicates that it
is very effective in the reduction of damage to sensitive components exposed to repeated
ballistic impact forces.
Purpose of these instructions:
These instructions are intended as a guide to assist the reader in the assembly of the tool,
perform preventative maintenance and to encourage the development of their own procedures.
Disassembly can be achieved by reversing the assembly sequence. It is assumed that the tool
has been completely disassembled, O-rings and rubber components removed, metal parts
cleaned and degreased and that all components are in good working condition. A Digital
Voltmeter should be used throughout the assembly procedure to confirm proper electrical
condition of the connectors and lead wire assembly.
The Shock Absorber is assembled from the bottom up. Time for complete bench assembly:
Approximately 10 minutes.
