7 Regular checks and preventative maintenance
Carlson recommends that you carry out regular functional testing of the Boretrak2 system. Any damage,
malfunctions or poor performance detected should be reported to Carlson. Also contact Carlson to arrange a yearly
service and calibration.
Where necessary, replacement accessories such as rods and cables can be purchased from Carlson or from your
local Carlson representative.
Before and after each session in the field, carry out routine checks of the system as outlined below.
7.1 Probe
Clean the probe thoroughly with warm soapy water.
Ensure that the screw threads in the nose cone and body of the probe are free of dirt, grease and grit.
Check the O-ring around the nose-cone thread. If there is any visible damage or breaks, it should be replaced with
a new O-ring: size BS124 Fluorocarbon 75 (31.42 mm ID × 2.62 mm CS).
Clean any dirt from the nose cone and O-ring seal. Lubricate the O-ring with the supplied silicone grease.
Store within the specified environmental temperature limits.
Only use battery cells which are in an intact condition. Prior to each use, check the condition of your battery cells.
If the plastic coating around the battery is pierced, ripped or torn, do not load the battery into the Boretrak2 probe.
Dispose of the battery and source a Carlson-approved replacement.
7.2 PDA / tablet
Recharge the internal battery after use.
Check all ports and connectors to ensure that they are free from mud and water.
Ensure that any battery or memory card covers are fully closed. The device is not environmentally protected if the
cover is partially open.
Store within the specified environmental temperature limits.
Wherever possible, use a dedicated carry case or neck strap to keep the device protected and secure.
7.3 Push rod
Regularly inspect the push rod for signs of damage which could cause it to fail.
The minimum bend radius of the 9mm push rod is 30cm. Do not exceed this bend radius.
7.4 Rod stack
Clean the rods by soaking thoroughly with warm soapy water.
Ensure the rod joints are clear of mud and grit to maintain the condition of the rod stack.
