1.1 PURPOSE
This technical manual contains operation and maintenance Instructions for AOT "Y” elevator
series slips with complete Parts breakdown. It provides a guide for proper field use,
disassembly and repair.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The "Y" elevator slip series consist of four models of slips. The “MYT”, “YT”, “HYT”, and
“HYC” elevator series slips.
2.1 PREPARATION
In order for the "Y" series of elevator slips to operate properly, it is necessary to install the
proper size of inserts corresponding to the size of the O.D. It is to catch. Follow the
procedures in section 4 - changing inserts.
2.2 OPERATION
After installation of the proper size of inserts in the elevator slip, the slip is ready for service.
The back of the slips and id of the elevator taper should be cleaned and greased before use
and daily during use.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to keep fingers out from in between the slip segments when the pipe is being
lifted. This could result in the loss of a finger as the slips slide into the taper of the
elevator to grip the pipe.
• We advise that you do not mix-match slip segments. Doing so will result in the voiding
of your access Oil Tools, Inc. warranty.
• Make sure the slips are used with the proper size of inserts and slip backs are cleaned
and greased daily.
Practice safety at all times when servicing the equipment and use approved
safety methods, material and tools. Always wear protective gear for eyes,
head and hands.
3.1 INSPECTION
To insure optimum performance from the "Y” series of elevator slips, the following checks
should be made once a week.
1. Check for wear in the ears where the slip bolt goes and die slots.
3. Slips should undergo a magnetic particle inspection a minimum of once a month, when
in use and after every job.
5. Make sure slips are a matching set, by ensuring that the alphabetic serial numbers are
the same for each segment. We advise that you do not mix-match slip segments.
This will result in the voiding of your access oil tools warranty.
3.2 LUBRICATIONS
Lubricate the slip regularly during usage and storage to Prevent corrosion. Use an extreme
pressure, multi-purpose, lithium base grease of no. 1 or no. 2 consistency and multi-weight
motor oil. When the tool is in use, lubricate the slip According to the following schedule or
annually while in Storage.
1. Remove setting plate & insert retainer plate, which hold the inserts in the die slots.
Always install the proper size inserts for the tubular to be used on.
3. Clean and grease the insert slots before installing new inserts.
6. Setting ring must be able to move after setting ring bolts are tightened.
7. Due to the complex metallurgy in AOT “Y” series elevator slips, welding should be
performed only by AOT or an authorized repair agent.
