
Check drill for worn or damaged parts. Repair or
replace parts before going to the field.

Rotate both gauge wheels to see that the drive and
meters are working properly and free from foreign
material.

Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders for
leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.
Watch your step when walking on drill ladder and walkboard.
Falling from drill could cause severe injury or death.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
