Safety
• Make sure that ALL hydraulic lines are isolated (disconnected) before any work is carried out on
the elevator.
• It is recommended to have the elevator operated by the driller.
• The elevator is activated with a remote control valve, which may be actuated by hand or foot
depending on the type of valve and/or HMI-interface.
• The driller (and or the floor man) must coordinate operation of the elevator and slips/spider so
one tool is engaged around the tubular before the other is disengaged. Thus, one or both tools
continuously suspend the tubular during all stages of pipe handling operations.
