    To lay down the top drive, the drilling line must be paid out, the subs removed, and the cylinders retracted. Then the top drive is disconnected from the blocks and lifted using an assembly to a truck, where it is lowered section by section and secured with chains and rails on the floor. Safety lines are installed to prevent movement when fully laid down.
