Proper storage and preservation measures will help ensure maximum design life for the
anchor. Protect accessory items, spare parts, etc. in accordance with these guidelines.
Ensure the equipment has been cleaned of all foreign matter and thoroughly dried
before preservation.
Protect all machined surfaces with a rust inhibitor (i.e. Denso Tape or Tecteel spray
or equivalent) where applicable.
Place rubber gaskets and metal blanks over all interface connections. Interface
surfaces, which are not corrosion resistant, should be protected with a corrosion
inhibitor before sealing.
Ensure all grease points are well-greased.
Indoor storage is preferred for the equipment because condensation and corrosion
can be minimized in a controlled environment.
Remove mud, adhering dirt, and other foreign matter able to hold moisture. If
cleaning is done with steam or a solvent, avoid washing lubricating oil or grease
from unpainted surfaces or close-fitting elements. Touch up the paint if necessary.
Elevate the equipment some distance from the ground or floor. Enough beams
should be provided to give normal support to the equipment and be high enough to
avoid water accumulation; a drained location is preferable. Remove any
accumulated moisture on or near equipment.
If the equipment must be stored outdoors, moisture must be prevented from
contacting the equipment. All equipment should be packed with heat-shrunk plastic
or tarpaulin of at least 0.15 mm thickness or crated. Ensure the integrity of the
tarpaulin and/or crating. Where storage temperature is not stable, sufficient sealing
of the equipment with tape and plastic sheet is recommended along with use of
desiccant. Cable ends are preserved with sealing tape or blanks. Desiccant bags are
used inside all enclosed areas such as instrument cabinets and junction boxes.
Renew desiccant and sealing tape as necessary.
Place packing around valve panels (if applicable) to protect against shock or impact.
All applicable reservoirs should be shipped with sufficient oil in order to minimize the
areas that may become exposed to condensation or corrosion.
NOTE: Preservation done by National Oilwell Varco at the time of shipping is only
valid for a period of three months unless otherwise noted in the contract. It is
required for the customer to inspect the product and upgrade preservation
for any storage period longer than three months.

Model: FLH-100CX-8C
Line Size: Ø1 1/2”
Weight: 4,383 lbs (4,383 kg)
Max. Deadline Anchor Load: 220,462 lbs (100,000 kg)
4.2 Personnel
Drawing: 5191A100
Place the deadline anchor in its proper location on the rig, bringing it over the bolt holes.
Bolt it down using the bolts called for on the assembly drawing as well as suitable
structural bolt installation methods (i.e. AISC turn of nut method). Install the deadline
onto the drum.
NOTE: The line must be in contact with the drum for three wraps and pass
through both sets of inserts inside the pigtail clamps.
Torque pigtail bolts to the torque shown on the assembly drawing. Check the stops for
obstructions and the drum for smooth operation; this may require removing the load cell.

The following procedure should be applied when line slip & cut is performed, when new
inserts are installed, when a new anchor is put into service, when an anchor is returned
to service after any period of significant “down-time”, at any time when line has or may
have passed through the clamps while the inserts were in place, or when there is any
reason to suspect a change in condition of the clamping assembly.
NOTE: The ease of re-spooling or slipping is directly proportional to tension from the
wireline spool or drawworks. Removing back tension will reduce the effort
required to slip the wireline.

NOTE: All assembly should be “By Hand” and force should not be required. If
inserts do not assemble freely, remove burrs or other small amounts of
interfering material with a hand file. If excessive material must be removed
to assemble, clamps may be damaged. Inspect the clamp for straightness
and replace as necessary.
9. Reassemble clamps with wireline & torque bolts as called for on anchor assembly
drawing and in order shown on the anchor assembly drawing.
10. Inspect gaps as indicated on the anchor assembly drawing.
11. All gaps must be greater than 0 (zero) to be safe for operation. Gaps must be free
of debris. If no gaps exist, replace inserts or other damaged or worn elements and
return to step 7. If all gaps are appropriate proceed to step 12.
12. Reposition wireline in drum groove.
NOTE: Pigtail clamp bolt torque should be checked periodically and all bolts
retorqued as specified on assembly drawing. The appropriate period to be
determined based on rig operating conditions by operator or owner.
CAUTION: Always verify clamp bolts are torqued to specified torque when a
wire line is installed on the anchor, and always check clamp bolt
torque before applying load to the drill line.
This deadline anchor is designed and constructed for operation at ambient temperatures
equal to or exceeding -18°C (0°F), or minimum operating temperature specified in
contract, whichever is lower. The upper limit for the operation of this anchor is
dependent upon the lubricants used. By using the recommended lubricants, the anchor,
as supplied, may be operated at ambient temperatures up to a maximum temperature of
40°C (104°F), or maximum operating temperature specified in contract, whichever is
higher.
4.6 Lubrication
Lubricate grease zerks (located on drum hub cover) at least once every six months.

4.7 Maintenance
1. Grease the bearings during the initial assembly and prior to every slip and cut. Use
extreme pressure multi-purpose grease of No. 1 or No. 2 consistency.
2. Clean the anchor with a grease cutting solvent, and inspect the base assembly,
drum assembly, drum line guards, and bronze inserts for cracks or excessive wear
prior to every slip and cut. Examine the bearing seal monthly for signs of
deterioration.
3. Check for drum assembly wobble and bearing wear prior to every slip and cut.
4.8 Troubleshooting
• Pigtail clamp bolt torque should be checked periodically and all bolts retorqued as
specified on the assembly drawing. The appropriate period for checking is to be
determined by the operator or the owner based on the rig operating conditions.
• If there is no electronic signal, check the connections to the load cell, check load cell
fluid level (check anchor stops for clearance), and check for air in load cell.

With any tensioning method of making connections, it is important to install bolts in all
holes of the connection and bring them to a snug-tight condition to compact the joint.
Tightening should begin at the most rigidly fixed or stiffest point and progress toward the
free edges both in the initial snugging-up and in the final tightening.
Equipment consistency and reliability depends on assuring the joint is well compacted
and all bolts at a joint are at a snug-tight condition prior to application of the final
required partial turn. It is critical that the element not turned in tightening be prevented
from rotating while the required degree of turn is applied to the turned element.
a Nut rotation is relative to bolt regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For bolts
installed by 1/2 turn and less, tolerance is ± 30°; for bolts installed by 2/3 turn and more,
tolerance is ± 45°.
b Applicable only on connection in which all materials within the grip of the bolt are steel.
c No research has been performed by AISC to establish the turn-of-nut values for bolt lengths
exceeding 12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation must be established by actual test in a
suitable tension measuring device that simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel.
