(4)
Anchor the well-head roller to the rig using anchor chains or cable.
(5)
Using the rig tender crane, pick up the roll of drop-hose and position it so that the hose lays across the
truck cab. Slowly back the rig tender away from the hole, unrolling 50 feet of hose along the ground.
(6)
Attach another hose elevator clamp, anchoring the clamp to the front of the rig tender. Loosen both
nuts of the hose elevator clamp and move the swing bolt aside. Position the clamp half with the lifting
loop to the side of the drop hose opposite the cable ridge.
(7)
Close the hose elevator clamp on the hose and reposition the swing bolt. Tighten both nuts finger
tight; be sure the hose is square and centered in the clamps. Tighten both nuts equally, torquing to 40
ft lbs. Be sure the clamp faces remain parallel.
(8)
Roll the power cable out alongside the drop hose. Attach the cable to the hose using cable straps as
shown in figure 2-51. Straps should be inserted at 6-foot intervals. Allow slack in the cable between
straps as shown in the illustration, to allow for extension of the drop hose under service. The cable
should be approximately 2% longer than the hose length.
(9)
Drive the rig tender in reverse to raise the well-head clamp sufficiently for removal; then remove the
clamp.
