Operation

Boring a Hole
Digging the Trenches
Before drilling under a walk or driveway, you must make an
entrance and an exit trench on either side of the drilling area.
Both trenches must be at least 15.24 cm (6 inches) wide and
45.72 cm (18 inches deep). The entrance trench must be at
least 213.36 cm (7 feet) long and the exit trench 91.44 to
182.88 cm (3 to 6 feet) long. The entrance trench should be
perpendicular to the walk or driveway and the exit trench
should be parallel to the walk or driveway. The exit trench
should be centered across from the entrance trench

Boring the Hole
Important: Boring is a two person operation. Do not
attempt to perform this operation by yourself.
1. Position the machine with the drive head at the
beginning of the trench and lower it to the appropriate
depth.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
3. Connect a rod and boring bit onto the drive head.
4. Connect the rod guide tool to the rod just behind the
boring bit (Figure

5. With the person guiding the boring bit positioned to
the right of the trench
position the throttle to within the middle of the RPM
range, and push the hydra-borer-control lever forward
to start the forward rotation of the boring bit.
6. Slowly move the machine forward, while the person
with the rod guide tool guides the boring bit into the
soil (Figure 29).
7. Once the entire drill bit is in the soil, push the control
lever into neutral.
8. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
9. Check the grade of the rod.
If the rod is not within the grade tolerances for the job
being performed, start the engine, and drive backward
to pull the boring bit out of the soil, then repeat steps
through 9, making adjustments to correct the grade.
10. Remove the rod guide tool.
11. Start the engine and pull the control lever rearward to
start the boring bit.
12. Slowly move the machine forward as the boring bit
digs into the soil.
Important: Do not drive too fast, forcing the bit
into the soil. Allow the bit to progress at its own
