GEARENCH REA025 PETOL Suckerod Elevator - Manual (Page 8)

6
To remove the elevator from the sucker rod, the sucker rod is secured and the elevator is
lowered a few inches below the swollen sucker rod neck. The elevator operator holds the
bail with one hand and unlatches the elevator with the other hand. The elevator operator then
pulls or pushes the elevator body from the sucker rod.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should the maximum working load of 25 Tons be
exceeded.
It is wise to practice connecting and disconnecting the elevator onto the sucker rod to
observe the latching operation, to become familiar with and develop a routine, and to know
the elevator is set.
