The running tool will hold the locking keys of the Lock Mandrel in the
retracted position until the desired landing nipple is reached.
As the packing section of the Flow Control device passes through the
seal bores section of the landing nipples, the resulting loss of weight will
show on the weight indicator.
To set in an SLX Nipple (Otis-Type X), pass through the nipple with the
running tool. Once past, raise the running tool back up into the landing
nipple.
