Loading and Unloading the Machine
WARNING
Moving a machine of this size on a trailer over
public roads carries risks to those around the
machine if it should come loose, be involved in an
accident, or hit a low hanging structure.
• Follow the tie-down procedures described in
this section when moving the machine.
• Follow all local traffic regulations governing the
hauling of large equipment. This manual cannot
adequately cover all laws and safety regulations;
it is your responsibility to know and follow the
laws and regulations that pertain to you.
WARNING
The machine can slip and fall from a trailer or ramp,
crushing anyone caught beneath it and causing
serious injury or death.
• Keep all bystanders away from the machine and
trailer.
• Ensure that the trailer and ramp are not slippery
and are free of ice, grease, oil, etc.
• Move the machine onto the ramp at slow speed
with the engine at slow speed.
• Ensure that you have the machine centered on
the ramp and trailer.
1. Ensure the ramp and the trailer or truck bed can
support the weight of the machine.
2. Ensure that the upper and rear pipe-holder pins are
installed.
3. Place a block at the front and rear of the trailer and/or
truck tires.
4. Using the drive pendant, set the engine speed to slow
and the drive speed to slow.
5. Using the drive pendant, carefully drive the machine
forward or rearward up the ramp and into position on
the trailer.
6. Lower the stake-down plate to the deck of the trailer.
7. Turn off the engine.
8. Use appropriately rated chains and binders to secure
the rings on the left and right track frames and the
stake-down plate to the trailer.
9. Measure the distance from the ground to the highest
point on the machine for reference to ensure that you
do not collide with low hanging obstacles.
10. Remove the block from the trailer tires, and stow them
with the machine for use when unloading it.
11. After driving a few miles, pull over and check to ensure
that all chains are still tight and that the machine has
not moved.
To unload the machine, reverse the above procedure.
Setting Up the Drill Head and Tracking
System
The drill head consists of two parts, the drill bit and the sonde
housing
(Figure
20).
1. Sonde housing
Drill bits vary in size and type to meet the various soil
conditions you may need to drill through. Some of the
possibilities are as follows:
•
Straight blade—Used in a wide range of medium density
soils.
•
Bent blade—Used in medium to soft soils. This bit has
an added 20° bend to increase steering performance in
soft soils.
•
Triangle point blade—Use in hard and rocky soils. This
bit has carbide edges to reduce wear.
All of the above bits come in varying widths. A wider blade
increases your ability to steer in soft soils. A narrower blade
moves through hard soils better. Contact your Authorized
Toro Dealer for a complete list of available blades.
The sondes and receivers are essential to track the position
of the drill head throughout the drilling operation. The
sonde housing on the drill head opens up to accept the sonde
beacon which works with the receiver to track the location,
pitch, direction, head orientation, and more of the drill head.
Refer to the Tracking System Operator's Manual for instructions
on using the system.
To install the sonde beacon into the sonde housing on the
drill head, complete the following:
1. Replace the batteries in the sonde beacon as described
in the Tracking System Operator's Manual.
2. Loosen the screws securing the housing cover to the
housing and remove the cover
