Warning
All jarring and pulling loads shown in this manual assume that the force is acting alone and is essen-
tially along the major axis of the tool. If torque and tension or bending and tension are used together,
the resulting combined stresses may lead to failure at subsequently less than rated loads. Rotation and
bending together can lead to fatigue.

Users of jars and bumper subs should be aware that milling operations may develop stresses in these
tools that are more complex than the simple torsional and tensile values listed in Bowen strength data.
If unstabilized, the weight necessary for milling can induce bending forces that combine with torsional
forces to generate very high stresses in some areas of the tool. Rotating in a deviated hole condition or
with the tool in a neutral point may have the same effect. The necessity for milling is recognized and
this is not intended to advise against such operations, but merely to caution the user
of possible dangers when rotating under the conditions described.
Jar Service Kit
A Jar Service Kit is necessary to properly service the Oil Jar. These Kits are
identical for every size Jar, so one kit may be used for any number of Jars.
The kit does not include any Seal Setting Tool, two of which are required for
each size Jar. These tools must be ordered separately. They are usually
stored in the Service Kit.
