Connecting to a Drilling-Fluid Source
When drilling and reaming, you pump a mixture of bentonite
clay, water, and sometimes other ingredients, collectively
called drilling fluid or "Mud", through the pipe and into the
bore. This drilling fluid, or "Mud", does the following for
your bore:
•
Lubricates the drill head
•
Loosens the soil into which the drill is cutting
•
Penetrates and binds loose soil to keep them from
collapsing on the bore pipe.
The specific mixture you need will vary depending on your
soil type and the operation you are performing; refer to your
mixing system Operator's Manual for details.
Conversely, for some jobs (depending on the soil type and
distance), you can pump screened water from a natural water
source, such as a lake or river, through the drill in lieu of
mixed drilling fluid.

To connect the machine to a mixing system, refer to
Setting Up the Mixing System (page
•
To connect the machine to a natural water source, refer to
Setting Up the Pump to Use a Natural Water Source (page
49).
Setting Up the Mixing System
Set up your mixing system near the directional drill location,
preferably down wind so fumes from the mixing system
engine will not bother you while drilling. Follow the
instructions provided in the mixing system Operator's Manual
for setting it up and using it.
Complete the following to connect the exit hose from the
mixing system to the drilling-fluid pump on the machine:
1. Raise the cam-lock levers on the pump-inlet cap and
remove the cap
1. Cam-lock levers
2. Insert the hose from the mixing system over the pump
inlet and secure it with the cam-lock levers.
