Wet Boring
282L93
NOTE:
Before beginning wet boring operations check
local laws and regulations pertaining to this type of
boring. In some areas wet boring operations may not be
permitted. Also check to ensure that the fluid being used
is permitted for use in boring applications.
1. Attach water coupler (2) to the Hydra-Borer universal
joint (1).
2. Attach a maximum of three drill stems outside the
hole being bored. When one stem length is under
ground, another can be added before boring
operations continue. Minimize the number of drill
stems outside the hole. Excess lengths tends to bow
or whip unless restrained by the guide anchors.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use the correct retainer (3).
Make sure that the retainer DOES NOT protrude through
the drill stem.
NOTE:
If standard 1 inch pipe is used, it may be left in
hole to act as a conduit for wire, etc.
3. Supply a water pump and connect a hose from the
water pump to the water coupler (2) and from the
fluid source (tank, pond) to water pump inlet.
4. Begin boring operations with a fishtail bit (7) to bore
a pilot hole. Attach the drill bit to the drill stem using
a female quick lock adapter (6). If using standard drill
pipe the drill bit will thread directly into the drill pipe.
5. Start the engine (See Starting The Engine in this
manual.). When the engine is warm, move the
throttle to full throttle.
6. Move the hydra-borer valve control lever to the BORE
position.
7. Push the hydra-borer lever forward to BORE position
to rotate the hydra-borer shaft clockwise. Move the
lever to REVERSE to rotate the hydra-borer shaft
counterclockwise. The lever will return to the STOP
position automatically when released to stop rotation
of the hydra-borer shaft.
8. Use the creep lever to control the forward/reverse
direction and the machine speed during boring
operations. The machine speed should be sufficient to
allow the bit to work freely while boring. DO NOT
FORCE BORE THE HOLE.
NOTE:
You MUST pull the trigger control on the joystick
before you can move the machine.
9. After the target hole is reached you may wish to
change the bit and use another accessory to
backream and enlarge the hole (8 and 9). If you do,
STOP THE MACHINE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE
AND REMOVE THE KEY. Make sure that the drill
stem is not turning before you attempt to change or
remove the bit.
