Guide Runner Adjuster Bolts
IssueIf the weld holding the adjuster bolt nut in place fails and causes the nut to separate from the adjuster
plate, it is possible for the adjuster bolt to work loose and fall from the Top Drive. The adjuster bolt nut must
be properly welded to the adjuster plate on all four sides.
RecommendationInspect the adjuster nuts and adjuster bolt safety wires as follows:
1. Inspect each adjuster nut and ensure there are penetration welds on all four sides of the nut. If any of
the nuts are not welded on all four sides, either upgrade the welding as shown in Figure 1 or order new
adjuster plates as required (see Table 1 and Table 2).
2. Install safety wires on the adjuster bolts (see Figure 2 on page 3) as follows:
a. Secure a loop of safety wire around the adjuster bolt shaft, between the bolt head and the adjuster
plate nut. Ensure the wire is loose enough to allow the bolt to turn, and tight enough that the bolt
head cannot pass through the wire loop should it become detached from the adjuster plate.
b. Secure the loose end of the safety wire such that the adjuster bolt and nut will not fall to the ground
should the adjuster nut become detached.
