Installation Instructions
Portable Torque Guide (Typical)
MAST APPLICATION
Before beginning to rig up the Top Drive unit, several steps should be taken to ensure that the
operation goes as safely as possible.
1. Perform a thorough inventory of equipment on site. Make sure that all equipment needed for the
rig-up is present and is in good condition. Check lifting assembly for damage and any lifting cables or
lifting/snubbing cables for general damage or broken wires.
2. Conduct a JSA (Job Safety Analysis) before beginning to rig up. Review this procedure with rig and
company personnel. Confirm that all personnel involved understand the operation, their positions
during rig-up and their duties during rig-up.
3. Assign personnel to act as observers to watch for interference in the mast as the Torque Guide is
being lifted up through it. The minimum recommended spotters are:
Personnel not involved in the rig-up should not be on the drill floor during the rig-up.
If performing this operation in darkness or at times of poor visibility, extra care should be taken to
ensure the following:
1. Proper communication. Ensure there is visual contact between all personnel involved in the
process. This can be enhanced with good hand signals or light devices.
2. Sufficient lighting. Ensure the following are well lit and visible:
- rig up personnel
- crown and harpoon
- racking area
- rig floor
- v-door side of substructure
- the torque guide when lifting off the truck/trailer
- mast interior i.e. back girts
1. With the mast in the down position (preferably), remove the diving board hinged section from the
racking board. Alternately, adjust the board forward.
2. Remove the hook and install the block adapter bail or interface.
3. Clamp the Torque Reaction Beam to girt #1 on the mast. Refer to the Torque Reaction Beam
Assembly drawing in Subsection 6A of this Manual. The beam should be positioned so that it is
centered about well center. All fasteners must be properly torqued (see Capscrew Torque Values in
Subsection 4B of this Manual. The Torque Guide clamp plates should not be installed at this time.
4. Install the Crown Hanger Plates and Harpoon Assembly at the
crown. Refer to the Crown Hanger Assembly drawing in
Subsection 6A of this manual. Attach one end of each safety
sling to the Hanger Plates. The free ends of the slings will be
pinned to the Torque Guide once it is latched to the Harpoon.
Ensure that all safety pins and keeper bolts are securely in place
and check that the Harpoon is installed with the correct
orientation. The sloped side of the Harpoon should be facing
towards the drawworks.
5. Install the bridle line equalizer (see View A – A) or insert equalizer
directly into block becket.
6. Raise the mast (and drawworks) if applicable.
NOTE: Place TDSU as per the rig JSA. Connect the TDSU power cables to the AC power source.
DANGER: Ensure that the feeder breaker is OFF while connecting the power cables to it. Be
aware that the line side of the feeder breaker may still be live even if it is in the OFF
position. Use extreme caution while working in the feeder breaker junction box.
The following method for handling the Grasshopper during installation should be followed to prevent
damage to equipment or injury to workers. The safest method of rigging the Grasshopper is with the use
of a crane. The crane is generally able to lift from directly above the point of attachment of the cable to
the Grasshopper, allowing the operator to control the movement of the Grasshopper.
1. With the Grasshopper still laid down, elevate the pole as required and rotate the entire assembly until
section 1 (the inboard section) is in the required position. Use the HPU override pushbutton on the
Grasshopper pedestal to start HPU 1 while the console is not connected.
2. Anchor section 1 so that it will not rotate while raising section 2. Failure to do so may allow this
section to swing uncontrollably during the rest of the rig-up.
3. Attach the line to be used for raising section 2.
4. To control the swinging of the Grasshopper, a tag line must be attached from the outboard end of
section 2 to a forklift, loader or similar vehicle. The tag line must be attached prior to attempting to
raise section 2 of the Grasshopper.
5. Attach the line in a manner that will not allow it to slide along the Grasshopper section.
6. Position the vehicle so that it can provide the greatest resisting force to oppose the lifting force as
much as possible.
7. The operator of the vehicle will keep the line between the vehicle and the Grasshopper taut at all times
in order to provide a resisting force to control the swing of the Grasshopper.
8. Section 2 will have a tendency to swing once it is lifted from its cradled position in section 1. If
the pull from the lifting winch is coming from one side of the Grasshopper, that is the direction in which
it will swing. If the pull is from directly above, it could swing in either direction. Ensure that the person
controlling the tag line is prepared and all personnel are standing clear.
9. The operator of the vehicle attached to the tag line will be required to coordinate with the crane/winch
operator to control the swing of the Grasshopper.
10. After section 2 has been raised to a vertical height that will allow it to clear section 1, it can be allowed
to swing to a stable position by slowly and carefully slacking off the tag line while keeping section 2
raised above section 1 (i.e., do not allow section 2 to rest on section 1). Once section 2 has swung to
its extreme, continue lifting to be absolutely sure that there is no more tendency for it to swing. If the
Grasshopper is stable, the tag line can be removed. The structure will remain stable for the rest of the
installation.
11. Pin the swivel mount to the mounting bracket installed on the substructure.
12. Connect the hydraulic supply and return lines from the end of the Grasshopper to the Torque Guide
skid.
13. Connect the two control cables from the Grasshopper to the Control Console.
14. Connect the Electric Service cables from the Grasshopper to the Torque Guide J box.
15. Turn on the power at the TDSU and perform a function test.
16. If the Upper Well Control Valve AUTO feature is to be used:
• Connect the pressure switch to the mud pump pressure line at the drilling recorder. Connect the
cable to the Top Drive Console.
• Connect the interface cable from the TDSU to the rig for the mud pump running status signal.
CAUTION: Ensure that the shipping pins (qty 4) are in place and are
secure prior to hoisting. (See Detail – A)
10. Lift with the tugger to extend section 4 and section 5 until the blocks
can slide onto section 5. Wrap a chain around section 5 and through
the block becket if required for stability.
NOTE: The hinge between section 4 & 5 should be even with
or above the rig floor and section 3 may be partially
unfolded, depending on the floor elevation.
11. Block section 3 in its partially unfolded
position if required.
12. Rotate the Service Support Frame (Upper
and Lower) until they are as close as
possible to section 3. This step should
only be required on very narrow masts.
(See END VIEW.)
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the Load Binder ratchets to lay
the Service Support Frames toward section 3. The
frames will swing out of control during erection of
the Torque Guide if the binders are left
disconnected.
13. Slide the blocks on section 5 until the block adapter bail can be
pinned to the rigging yoke.
NOTE: Ensure that section 5 is stable and secure before
pinning.
14. Raise the blocks to tension the erection sling and remove the runner
frame stop pin from section 5.
15. Begin lifting the Torque Guide with the blocks. Leave the
tugger connected to the Harpoon hole until sections 4 and 5
are straight.
NOTE: Ensure that the Service Loops are not pinched.
16. Continue lifting until all sections are unfolded and the skid
section is on the bed truck as shown below. Move truck back
and forth as required to assist in unfolding guide sections.
17. Release load binder on local blower and remove.
18. Swing blower into working position and bolt into place.
21. Continue lifting the Torque Guide, letting-off on the truck winch as
required.
22. Continue to hoist the assembly, with the skid sliding on the front
corner of the substructure, if possible. If there are obstacles on
the substructure, be sure to maintain a safe distance between skid
and substructure while hoisting.
23. Once the end of the skid reaches floor level, continue to let-off
cable from the truck winch until the Torque Guide is vertical
and completely inside the mast.
CAUTION: For stability and safety, the Live Roll End of
the skid should be kept as close to the floor as
possible during erection.
24. Continue lifting the Torque Guide until the Harpoon begins to
stab into the Torque Guide.
CAUTION: Do not pull more than 20 000 lb (9 000 daN)
over the free weight of the assembly.
1. Once the Torque Guide is fully extended and has been raised into the mast, continue to slowly hoist
until the Harpoon enters the opening at the top of the Torque Guide (Stage 1, below). As the Harpoon
enters the opening, the Harpoon latches will pivot inward allowing the Torque Guide to pass over them
(Stage 2). Once past, the latches will pivot outward to their original position (Stage 3).
2. Slowly lower the Traveling Block to set the Torque Guide onto the Harpoon latches.
3. Pin the free ends of the safety cables to the lugs on the Torque Guide. Refer to the Crown Hanger
Assembly drawing in Subsection 6A of this Manual. While installing the cables, visually confirm that
the Harpoon latches are fully latched.
CAUTION: The latches are supporting the total weight of the Top Drive and Torque Guide. It is
critical that they are fully latched.
4. Remove the Lifting/Snubbing Assembly from the Torque Guide/Top Drive skid.
5. Remove the Live Roll Assembly.
STAGE 1 STAGE 2
STAGE 3 STAGE 4
1. If the clamp plates and slide plates are already in place from a previous installation, remove
the clamp plates and allow the Torque Guide skid to rest against the slide plates of the Torque
Reaction Beam. Otherwise, first install the slide plates and place the Torque Guide clamp
plates on the top of the bottom flange of the Torque Guide skid and then bolt them to the slide
plates. The skid flange should be sandwiched between the slide plate and the clamp plate.
Refer to the Torque Reaction Beam Assembly drawing in Subsection 6A of the Drawings and
Parts List book.
2. Measure the distance between the mast girt flange and the Torque Reaction Beam. Add or
remove shim plates until the nominal distance indicated on the Torque Reaction Beam
Assembly drawing is achieved to within ±1/2 inch.
3. Ensure that all fasteners are properly torqued. Refer to Capscrew Torque Values in
Subsection 4B of this Manual.
1. Climb the mast to the position of the lifting hook in the Torque Guide. Raise the Traveling Block until
the lifting hook is in its uppermost position in the lifting pocket.
2. Remove the ½” cotter pin in the latch lock.
3. Insert the latch release rod into the lifting hook latch and turn until the latch is in the unlocked position
as shown below.
4. Lower the Traveling Block to allow the lifting hook to move down and out of the lifting groove.
Continue lowering the block until the erection apparatus is just above the Top Drive at the bottom of
the Torque Guide.
5. Remove the driller’s side pin on the lifting frame and slide the runner to its extended position. Replace
the pin. Tilt the lifting frame and push sideways to remove it from the Torque Guide. Repeat for the
runner frame.
CAUTION: The lifting frame may tend to swing toward the V-door. Use care to avoid
pinching fingers.
6. Connect a tugger to the yoke and lift slightly in order to remove the two yoke pins. Lower the entire
apparatus to the floor.
