Position Equipment
1. Review bore plan and select drilling unit position and fluid unit position. See “Select Start and End
Points” on page 47.
2. Move equipment into selected positions.
Connect Fluid System
1. Connect fluid hose from mixing system to
drilling fluid pump. A 1.5” (38 mm) or larger,
non-collapsible hose is required.
2. Install y-strainer between mixing unit and
drilling fluid pump. Position strainer so that
drilling fluid flows in the direction of the arrow.
In most cases, positioning strainer at outlet of
mixing unit gives best results.
Start System
1. Start drilling unit and remote fluid unit. Allow both engines to warm up.
2. Enable DrillLok™/tracker control mode. See “DrillLok™/Tracker Control” on page 101.
3. Move drilling unit throttle control until engine is at full throttle.
4. Move fluid control to desired setting to fill pipe with fluid.
Electric shock will cause death or serious injury. Stay
away..
To help avoid injury : If an electrical strike occurs while drilling unit is
connected to a fluid system, the fluid system will also become electrified.
Do not connect drilling unit to a public or private (business or home) water supply.
IMPORTANT: Clean y-strainer regularly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that mixture of drilling fluid matches drilling conditions.
