Condux 400 D.Drill Swivels - Manual (Page 2)

Inspection Procedure
Inspecting the swivel before and after each use ensures proper operation
throughout the job.
1. Rotate the swivel to test for proper operation.
2. Wiggle the swivel’s end to ensure there is no lateral play.
3. Make sure clevis pins are not damaged and are the correct size and
grade for the swivel.
4. If necessary, lubricate the swivel (see Lubrication Procedure).
Lubrication Procedure
NOTE: Always use special Condux D.Drill grease (Condux part # 08190007).
It is specially formulated with a calcium-complex soap for exclusive use in
bentonite environments. Use of any lithium-based grease voids the warranty.
1. Locate and clean the grease-zerk fitting (Figure 1).
2. Inject grease through the zerk fitting until the old grease flushes past
the seals on the swivel’s other end.
3. Lubricate after every job. This extends the life of the swivel and
prevents swivel lockup.
Installation Procedure
NOTE: The D.Drill Swivel has (4) angular contact bearings: (3) for
tension loads and (1) for compression loads. The direction of installation
is not critical, but we recommend pointing the grease zerk end towards
the reamer. This helps prevent dirt from getting past the seals.
1. Ensure the swivel is the correct size for the job (see Table 1), and
test the swivel operation.
2. Connect the swivel between the pulling eye and the earth packer
or reamer.
3. Tighten the clevis pin(s) securely.
Removal is the opposite of the installation procedure.
