Then, move the rig from its parking area or from the place where it was
unloaded from the transport vehicle (see chapter 2) to the drilling site (see
chapter 3), then straighten the mast (see chapter 5).
4.1.4
Checks after every work shift
The inspections to make at the end of a work shift are the same that were
done at the start. The reason is twofold: there will be more time to remedy
any problems that may be found, and traces of anomalies may be wiped
away if the rig is washed down after a work shift (see Par. 4.1.2).
4.2 Anomalies
4.2.1
Anomalies during operation
Should you detect any anomaly during the rig's operation, trace its
origin and determine whether the safety levels have changed. If
that is the case, halt work immediately, stopping the rig in a safe
and stable configuration, and contact the maintenance service at once. Note
down the incident on a logbook that can be consulted by the maintenance
service.
4.3 Maintenance
4.3.1
Maintenance procedures
For information on scheduled maintenance and repairs, please consult
Manual No. 2 (
EK75 Drilling Rig Service Manual
). On the jobsite, any
emergency repair equipment should be kept on service vehicles and not on
the drilling rig. Simple inspection equipment (e.g., electric torch, paper towels
for cleaning, etc.) can be stored in the compartment on the rig.
