instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious
equipment damage, severe personal injury, or death.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain all accessories and safety devices
necessary to complete the application of the product for safe operation.
This product is supplied in accordance with the buyer’s specification and does
not necessarily include all accessories or safety devices required to put this
product into operation. Safety devices, such as, but not limited to rotating
equipment guards, chains, cables and wrenches are available from other
suppliers.

This product and many of its parts are heavy and difficult to handle. Plan
lifts carefully and use proper lifting gear to avoid equipment damage and
personal injury. Provide safe supports for all equipment and parts.

Do not lift the rotary table by its cover. Use the lifting holes provided in the
corners of the rotary table housing near the bottom.

Lubricate the rotary table before starting operation. Prior to shipment all
lubricant is drained from the rotary table. Before operation the rotary table must
be filled with lubricant as instructed in the lubrication section of this manual.

Shut down equipment and disconnect power during maintenance. The

equipment should be shut down and the power disconnected during maintenance
and inspection to prevent personal injury. Always employ safe mechanical

2.2 Installation
The rotary table should be set level. Angular or tilted operation may be
detrimental to the lubrication system and result in serious damage to the rotary
table.

Lubricant leakage indicates a serious problem. The cause of the problem should
be determined and corrections made as soon as practical.

Safety guards should be installed to cover all moving parts. Flooring around the
rotary table should be firm and should provide safe and secure footing.

The rotary table must be properly supported. The foundation and attachment
devices for the rotary table must be sufficient size and design to maintain the
equipment without undue strain. Secure the rotary table to the foundation.
Locating devices and high strength bolts should be used.

Check the alignment of all driving devices. Improper alignment may damage the
equipment.
Provide adequate clearance around the rotary table housing and support frame
to prevent mud build-up. Provide ample clearance between the bottom of the
rotary table and the top of the bell nipple to prevent overflow of drilling mud from
impinging on the bottom of the rotary table.

2.3 Lubrication

CAUTION: Lubricate the rotary before starting operation.

2.3.1 Table
Proper lubrication is essential for trouble free performance or the rotary table. All
rotating components of the rotary table are lubricated by a single oil bath
reservoir. The table lock is lubricated with grease.

When the rotary table reservoir is properly filled with oil the lower part of the
pinion gear is submerged in the oil. When the pinion turns it carries oil up to the
ring gear. A portion of this oil is deposited on the main bearing and drains down
through the up-thrust bearing before returning to the reservoir. A collector cover
on the pinion shaft housing gathers another portion of the oil carried up by the
pinion gear. This oil passes into the pinion shaft housing and lubricates the
pinion shaft bearings before returning to the reservoir. Oil is retained in the
pinion shaft housing to provide short-term lubrication for the pinion shaft bearings
during start-up.

ABCO DOC.: M2917

REVISION: 1
 PAGE 2 - 4

The oil in the reservoir should be changed each 6 months or when contaminated.
To drain the oil, remove the plug on the bottom of the reservoir under the pinion
gear and the plug on the bottom of the pinion shaft housing. Opening both these
drains is necessary to drain all the oil from the rotary. Carefully inspect the oil for
contamination by mud, water or metal particles. If the oil is contaminated the
rotary should be opened and cleaned internally. If this is not practical, the rotary
should be flushed in accordance with instructions given in section 2.3.3.

ABCO DOC.: M2917

REVISION: 1
 PAGE 2 - 5

After the reservoir is properly drained and cleaned, replace the plugs and fill the
reservoir through the filling opening on the top of the pinion shaft housing. This
filler opening is accessible through an opening in the table cover. DO NOT fill
the reservoir through the dipstick opening. Use heavy duty high temperature
extreme pressure gear oil as specified in the lubricant chart below. When the
specified volume is used the oil level should be within the knurled area on the
dipstick. Operate the rotary at a medium speed for 5 minutes. Stop and gage
the oil level again. Adjust the oil level again to remain within the knurled area on
the dipstick.

2.3.2 Rotary Table Locking Mechanism

The rotary table lock is accessible from the top of the rotary. Oil or a small
amount of grease may be applied to the lock to ease movement.

2.3.3 Contaminated Gear Oil

When contaminated gear oil is observed, the rotary should be removed from
service immediately. If the rotary cannot be removed from service long enough
to properly clean the reservoir, the following procedure is suggested.

Drain the contaminated gear oil from the rotary. Fill the reservoir to the normal
operating level with 30W mineral oil. Operate the rotary UNDER NO LOAD at
slow speed (20-30 RPM) for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the reservoir. Refill with the
normal lubricant and proceed. As soon as practical, remove the rotary from
service, disassemble sufficiently to clean the sump and the inside of the pinion
capsule.

2.4 Maintenance

A careful preventive maintenance program will contribute to reduced down time

and lower the cost of repairs. The following represents a minimum program for
maintenance of the rotary. Careful attention by the owner/operator will indicate
adjustment and/or additions to this program.

2.4.1 Daily
2.4.1.1 Check the oil level and adjust as necessary. If there is evidence of
contamination, clean the reservoir as soon as possible to prevent
further damage to the gears and bearings of the rotary. See section
2.3.3.
2.4.1.2 Check the locking mechanism and clean or lubricate as necessary.
2.4.1.3 Check for oil leaks at the pinion shaft seals or at the labyrinth seals at
the top and bottom of the rotary. Schedule maintenance as necessary.
2.4.1.4 Lubricate the master bushing.
2.4.1.5 Check for cleanliness. Wash the table after a trip or after each wet
joint is handled. Wash the bottom of the rotary table. DO NOT direct a
jet of water directly at the lower labyrinth seal. This may force water
into the rotary table.

2.4.2 Monthly
2.4.2.1 Drain a small amount of oil from the reservoir and check for
contamination. If contamination is suspected follow the instructions in
the lubrication section of this manual. Serious damage can occur if the
rotary is operated with contaminated lubricant.

2.4.3 Semi-Annually
2.4.3.1 Drain the reservoir and refill with clean lubricant.
2.4.3.2 Check all fasteners for proper tightness.
2.4.3.3 Check the rotary drive for alignment and chain tension as necessary.

2.4.4 Annually
2.4.4.1 Remove the rotary table from the base housing; inspect the interior of
the reservoir for contamination. Clean as necessary.
2.4.4.2 Inspect the gears for proper operation and wear pattern.
2.4.4.3 Check the clearance in the rotary table main bearing assembly and
adjust as necessary.
2.4.4.4 Check the pinion shaft bearings for excessive clearance and replace
as necessary.
2.4.4.5 Check the backlash of the gear set and adjust as necessary.
