The 3N-4010HDA is normally ordered with an air cart,
and delivered on two flatbed trucks. Un-installed compo-
nents may be on the drill truck (single-truck delivery), the
air cart truck, or on a separate truck.
Note: The 3N-4010HDA is loaded for dock delivery.
Do not hoist or fork lift.

safely be removed from the truck with the tooth of the
lock withdrawn.
14. Retrieve the Operator Manual from the manual pak,
located just forward of the left rear transport wheel.
15. Remove any un-installed components from the drill
truck. Do not install any of these while the drill is still
on the truck.
16. Mechanically hitch a suitable tractor to the drill. Refer
to “Hitching to Tractor” in the drill Operator Manual
for hitching details. Electrical connections are not
required.
Note: The un-assembled drill may weigh nearly 30,000
pounds (14000 kg).
Only one hydraulic circuit is required for unload, but
two are required for assembly.
17. Set the tractor parking brakes. Connect the drill’s lift
hydraulic circuit (color coded Blue) to a tractor
remote. Release chains and cargo straps securing
the drill.

ping stands on the truck. Remove the shipping
stands (these are returned to Great Plains).
