    The Installation and Operation section will deal with setup of the system and basic operation. Following that we will deal with disassembly and servicing. When dealing with the HDD40 in the service section we will separate it into two parts: Firstly the Horizontal Directional Drilling hammer component that makes drilling possible and secondly the Sonde housing component that makes steering possible.

    Storage If you intend to store the HDD40 Hammer we recommend that ½ pint (¼ litre) of good quality rock drill oil be poured into the hammer to protect it. To do this the hammer section should be unscrewed from the Bent Sub and then the oil should be poured into the top of the hammer and let flow down into the piston chamber of the hammer to coat the parts and protect them from rust and corrosion.
