Continue to move the drill carriage slowly down
the frame until the male threads on the pipe are
under the thread-joint-compound applicator and
apply thread-joint compound to the threads.

Continue to rotate the drive spindle clockwise,
until the male pipe threads are fully seated into
the sonde housing or the lead bar.
10.
Release and retract the pipe gripper, rotating it
all the way out to the park position.
Important:
Ensure that you fully retract the
pipe gripper and rotate it all the way out or
the carriage may collide with the gripper,
damaging the machine.
Note:
Torque the threads to 2305 N∙m (1,700
ft-lb).
Installing the Drill Head
WARNING
If the drill rotates or extends while you or
others are manually working on the drill bit or
pipe in front of the machine, the worker could
get caught in the bit or pipe causing serious
injury, amputation, or death.
•
Enable the exit-side lockout on the
exit-side-lockout transmitter before
approaching the dill bit or pipe when
attached to the machine. This disables the
drill carriage motion and rotary functions.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when
working on a drill bit or pipe attached to
the machine. Tie long hair up and out of
the way.
1.
Using the exit-side-lockout transmitter, enable
the exit side lockout.
2.
Hand thread the lead bar onto the pipe threads
then clear away from the front of the machine.
3.
When the area is clear of people, push the
exit-side-lockout reset switch on the front control
panel.
4.
Pull the drill pipe and lead bar back through the
pipe guide and into the wrenches, aligning the
shoulder of the upper joint of the lead bar with
the upper wrench (
).
Important:
Do not clamp the wrench on the
body of a pipe or it may damage the pipe.
Grip the pipes on the shoulder of the pipe
joint.
