Position Equipment
1. Review bore plan and select drilling unit position and fluid unit position.
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.
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious injury.
Know location of lines and stay away.
To help avoid injury, do not connect drilling unit to a public or private (business or home)
water supply. If an electrical strike occurs while drilling unit is connected to a fluid system,
the fluid system will also become electrified.
IMPORTANT:
• Clean y-strainer regularly.
• Prime the remote drilling fluid pump after
switching to a new tank. See page 90.
