Important:
Ensure that you install the batteries
in the correct polarity orientation or you could
damage the transmitter.

5. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw removed
previously.
Tighten the screws enough to ensure that the sealing
gasket is compressed, but do not over tighten them.
Associating the Handheld Transmitter
with the Base Unit
If the handheld transmitter ever stops communicating with
the base unit, or if you replace it with a new transmitter, you
need to associate the transmitter to the base unit as follows:
1. Ensure that the machine is turned off.
2. Ensure that the handheld transmitter is not active (i.e.,
no lights are on).
3. While holding the handheld transmitter, stand near the
base unit with an unobstructed, clear line-of-sight.
4. Simultaneously press and hold the On and Off buttons
(
Figure 58 ).
Note:
All of the LED lights activate.
5. Continuously hold both On and Off buttons until
the green transmit (TX) indicator light begins to flash
(
Figure 58 ).
6. Turn the machine on while continuing to hold On and
Off buttons (
Figure 58 ).
Note:
The TX, RX, ER, and BA indicator lights
should flash.
7. Release the On and Off buttons ( Figure 58 ).
Note:
The TX and RX indicator lights should flash.
Preparing the Job Site and the
Machine
Before drilling, prepare the job site and the machine as
follows:
•
Mark and prepare the bore path Marking and Preparing
the Bore Path (page 58) .
•
Test the Zap-Alert system; refer to Testing the Zap-alert
System (page 59) .
•
Load the drill pipes into the pipe holder if needed; refer
to
Loading Drill Pipes into the Pipe Holder (page 61) .
•
Add fuel to the machine; refer to Adding Fuel (page 61) .
•
Check the oil level in the engine; refer to Checking the
Engine-oil Level (page 88) .
• Check the engine coolant level; refer to Checking the
Cooling System (page 63) .
•
Check the hydraulic oil level; refer to Checking the
Hydraulic Fluid (page 106) .
•
Check the oil level in the drilling-fluid pump; refer to
Checking the Drilling-fluid-pump Oil Level (page 110) .
•
Load/unload the machine; refer to Loading and
Unloading the Machine (page 63) .
•
Drive the machine to the entry point; refer to
Understanding Horizontal Directional Drilling (page 47) .
•
Connect the machine to a drilling-fluid source; refer to
Connecting to a Drilling-fluid Source (page 66) .
•
Setup the drill bit(s) and tracking electronics; refer to
Setting up the Drill Head and the Tracking System (page
69)
.
• Setup the machine for drilling; refer to Setting up the
Machine for Drilling (page 64) .
•
Deploy the Zap-Alert system; refer to Deploying the
Zap-alert System (page 67) .
Marking and Preparing the Bore Path
1. Walk the bore path, marking it on the ground with
marking paint so that the receiver operator will be able
to follow the plan.
2. Hand dig to expose any buried utility lines marked
previously that the bore path will be crossing. This
will allow the receiver operator to know exactly where
they are.
3. If you are exiting the bore at ground level and not in an
existing trench, dig an angled hole into which the bit
will enter at the end of the bore.
4. If desired, dig a hole to the beginning-of-the-bore point
where you can disconnect the pipe or lines after pulling
them back.
