Do not use oversized pipe. Using oversized

pipe could cause difficulties in the proper

latching of the elevator.

Do not use undersized pipe. Using

undersized pipe could cause uneven stress

distribution, inadequate load bearing area,

and a possible collar slippage through the

elevator.

Do not use the elevator if the Latch or Latch-

Lock is malfunctioning. Latch or Latch Lock

failure could cause injury.

Do not overload the elevator. Overloading

the recommended rating could cause

serious injury or death.

Secure the Retainer Pin when using the

elevator in a non-horizontal position. Failure

to secure the Pin when picking up or laying

down pipe could cause serious injury or

death.

Use square shoulder connections with

tubular collars when handling pipe. Failure

to use the proper connections could cause

injury.

Position the Safety Latch Pin prior to hoisting

pipe. Failure to use the proper connections

could cause injury.

Maintain proper shoulder width on the pipe.

Failure to maintain ample shoulder widths

could cause injury.

Use the proper size pipe for the elevator

bore. Failure to use the proper size pipe

could cause injury.

To prevent injury or elevator malfunction,

inspect the Bore, Latch, Latch Pin, and

Hinge Pin regularly for wear. Failure to

inspect these parts could cause injury.

Keep hands / fingers clear of elevator bore

when installing the elevator on the pipe.

Always use the proper tools and wear eye,

head, and hand protection when servicing

this elevator.

Maintain a balanced body position and

secure footing.

For professional use only.

Use only Access Oil Tools, LP (AOT) parts.

AOT equipment is made of cast ally heat

treated steel and should never be welded on

in the field. Improper welding can cause

cracks or brittleness in the casting which

could result in drastic weakening or failure of

the equipment. Any welding or machining

must be performed by an authorized AOT or

API Certified Repair Center.

Improper welding and / or re-machining of

cast alloy heat treated steel can cause

personal injury, property damage, or death.

1.0 Introduction

This manual contains operation and maintenance

instructions for the ACCESS OIL TOOLS, LP (AOT)

SJ series single joint center latch pick up elevator

and provides guidance for its proper field use,

disassembly and repair; including a complete parts

breakdown.

SJ elevators are designed to replace rope slings for

hoisting collar type pipe into position and added to a

string. SJ elevators allow the crew to handle pipe

properly, thus avoiding pipe thread damage and

reduces the chances of accidents / injuries.

The SJ series center latch pick up elevator has a

simple, reliable latch that closes simultaneously

when elevator is closed. To ensure the Latch does

not open, a Latch Lock Pin can be used as a safety

feature. The size range of the SJ series elevator is

as illustrated in the table provided.

(See Figure 1)

2.0 Operation

As with any manual operated elevator, the SJ is

easily installed by the use of swivel suspension

assembly. Perform the actions prescribed below

after the elevator is hoisted to the rig floor and

properly positioned.

The operation of the SJ elevator is straightforward.

The door is opened by removing the Safety Latch

Pin and pulling outward on the Latch. When the

elevator is properly closed around the pipe, install

the Latch Lock Pin.

(See Figure 4)Remove the bolt from the shackle on the swivel

suspension assembly.

Attach the shackle over the lifting eye on the

elevator then replace the bolt to the shackle.

Repeat the process for the opposite lifting

eye. To remove the elevator, simply reverse

the process.

3.0 Maintenance

To ensure optimum performance, perform the

below-listed weekly checks.

Lubricate the elevator regularly during usage and

storage to prevent corrosion. Use an extreme

pressure, multi-purpose, lithium base grease of No.

1 or No. 2 consistency or a lubricant that meets MIL-

SPEC-A907E.

Maintain elevator as prescribed in the below

periodic Actions / Examinations.

(See Figure 3)

Locations of parts identified in Figure 1 have been

illustrated below for reference.

(See Figure 4)Check for worn Hinge Pin and Latch Pin and their

mating parts. These, if worn, may hinder proper

opening and closing of the door and latch.

Check the Latch Retaining Pin assembly for

worn or damaged parts. (e.g., Safety Latch Pin).

Check for proper Latch Spring performance.

Check for proper operation of Latch Stop

mechanism. Latch should not stop against the

body when engaged.

Check springs for damage, deformation and lack

of tension.
