1. Start tractor’s engine and begin clockwise (forward) rotation.
2. Slowly advance tractor while maintaining clockwise rotation.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN: Release drilling control and turn ignition switch to STOP.
NOTICE:
• Drilling too quickly causes bit to drift off course and may bend drill rod. After bore path is
established, speed may be slightly increased.
• If drill rod starts to bend, stop forward movement of unit and back the unit slightly until rod
straightens. Do not drill with bent rod.
• If drill rod hits an obstruction, rotate drill string counterclockwise to back up slightly.
