.
Swivel must be aligned with the reamer before rotating the
reamer.
Vermeer double eye swivels are designed for use with Vermeer reamers to limit the angle
between the reamer and swivel. Vermeer swivels and reamers aligned within this limited angle
will reduce the possibility of whipping and rotation of the trailed product. The use of other
swivels and reamers may not provide this inherent benefit.

Pullback
NOTICE:
Never rotate drill string counterclockwise while pulling back or backreaming. Counterclockwise
