STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
1. Using extendable arms wheel the power
pack into place about 1 metre away from
the borehole location.
3. Attach legs at all four corners of the rig
and secure with pins provided.
COMPETITOR 130 (Standalone model)
2. Position the slip bowl of the rig over the
borehole location.
4. Level the rig by screwing the feet onto
the load bearing plates. The mast must be
vertical for correct operation. Tools may
become stuck in borehole if mast is
inclined at an angle.
