Removing Drill Pipes
1.
Using the exit-side-lockout transmitter, enable
the exit side lockout.

Install a drill-pipe wiper around the pipe and into
the retaining bracket on the front of the machine.
This removes most of the dirt and mud from the
pipe as you pull it back into the machine, keeping
the machine clean. Contact your Authorized
Service Dealer to purchase drill-pipe wipers.
