Figure 2-51. Strapping Cable to Hose
(10) Slowly drive the rig tender toward the well, lowering the pump, motor and hose into the well. When
vehicle is near the well-head, stop the truck and reinstall the hose elevator clamp at the top of the
well. Then drive forward enough to rest the clamp on the casing.
(11) Remove the clamp at the rig tender; drive vehicle in reverse, unrolling another length of hose. As
before, attach hose elevator clamp and attach power cable to hose.
(12) Repeat steps 9, 10, and 11 as many times as necessary to lower the pump and motor to within 4-5 feet
from bottom of well.
d. Sealing the Well.
(1)
Assemble a hose clamp to the hose at the top of the well casing, relieving the weight on the clamp at
the rig tender. Then, use a sharp knife or hacksaw to cut the drop hose, squarely, about 10-12 inches
above the clamp at the well (see figure 2-52).
(2)
Install the nose coupling in the hose and assemble the coupling clamp in a manner similar to that of
the opposite end of the hose.
(3)
Unroll the power cable to the length necessary to reach the starter panel and cut the power cable.
Insert power cable through the smaller hole in the well seal.
