1. Start the engine and lower the drive head to the ground
or onto a trailer.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them to the
outside.
4. Move the auxiliary hydraulic lever forward, backward,
and back to neutral to relieve hydraulic pressure at the
hydraulic couplers.
5. Slide the collars back on the hydraulic couplers and
disconnect them.
IMPORTANT: Connect attachment hoses together to
prevent hydraulic system contamination during
storage.
6. Install protective covers onto the hydraulic couplers on
the traction unit.

Operation
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 6 inches wide and 18
inches deep. The entrance trench must be at least 7 feet
long and the exit trench 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 (Fig. 5).

Boring the Hole
IMPORTANT: Boring is a two person operation. Do
not attempt to perform this operation by yourself.
1. Position the traction unit 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 (Fig. 6).
5. With the person guiding the boring bit positioned to
the right of the trench (Fig. 6), start the engine, move
the pump selector valve to slow (turtle), position the
throttle to within the middle of the RPM range, and
pull the auxiliary hydraulics lever rearward to start the
forward rotation of the boring bit.
