Warnings and Safety Precautions
It is very important that Directional drilling operators note the operating procedures and safety
precautions before operating the Radiodetection
DrillTrack G2 system.
-
Priority must be given to local and national safety requirements all times.
All other safety procedures should be followed.
-
All underground utilities MUST be located before starting the drilling operation.
Contact your local Radiodetection dealer for pipe and cable locating equipment.
-
Serious injury and death can result if underground drilling equipment accidentally
hits an underground utility.
- Operators must wear protective safety clothing such as insulated boots, insulated
gloves, high visibility safety vests, safety glasses and hard hats.
The DrillTrack G2 system is not explosion-proof and is not approved for use in areas
where hazardous gases may be present.
The
DrillTrack G2 system should never be used near flammable or explosive substances.
Prior to the start of each drilling, the following actions must be taken:
- An orientation working practice should be selected which is done in the
DrillTrack G2 Receiver Setup Menu.
Confirm that the DrillTrack G2 system is operating properly and check for an
accurate location of the drillhead and accurate depth readings, tilt angle and roll
position with the DataSonde inside the drillhead.
During drilling, the depth readings and locate position will not be accurate unless:
- A consistent orientation working practice will be maintained. (changing from facing
the Drilling machine to working with one’s back to the Drilling machine or visa versa)
could result in both a mis-locate position/depth error.
This effect is more likely to happen after approximately 10% Grade (5°) of Tilt angle.
Note, at any time the user may go back into the “Setup Menu” and change the
orientation method. This will not effect the Receiver’s calibration.
- The DrillTrack G2 Receiver has been calibrated correctly.
