2226 Directional Drill

Refer to the following table for the proper utility line and the corresponding utility line color (USA and Canada).

• The owner must ensure that all operators are well trained and competent to safely operate the machine.

• Never allow children or untrained people to operate or service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.

• Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine quickly.

• Check that operator-presence controls, safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.

• Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that the machine could throw.

• Keep the manual(s) with the machine. Go to www.Toro.com for a replacement manual.

Before drilling, plan the path you will bore and prepare as follows:

• Create a basic plan for the bore, mapping out the proposed path.

  • Note any obstacles which may affect the bore such as large trees, bodies of water, buildings, etc.

  • Plan the path of the bore to avoid as many obstacles as possible.

  • Determine the depth of any bodies of water to be crossed to ensure that you can get deep enough to go under them.

• Determine the depth you need to install the material at and the minimum bend radius of both the drill pipe and the material being installed. This will affect how long the bore needs to be and at what angle you can enter and exit; refer to Planning the Bore Path.

• Have the area of the bore path marked for utility lines (in the US call 811). Ensure that all lines are marked on your blueprints/bore plan as well.

• Contact the local authorities to arrange for any permits and traffic control that you will need to conduct the job.

Physically inspect the site as follows:

• Note the terrain, slopes, valleys, hills, and any features not planned for previously.

  Determine the degree of slope at both the proposed entry point and exit point.

• Determine what the soil types are in the area and, if possible, and what they are at the depth you will be boring. You may need to dig test holes at intervals along the bore path to fully determine this.

• Walk the area of the bore path looking for any possible unmarked obstructions. Look for manholes, pedestals, old foundations, etc.

• Identify all hazards of which you will be passing within 3 m (10 ft).

  Common hazards include the following:

  • Gas lines

  • Electrical power lines

  • Crystalline silica and other dust

    If you will be drilling through or cutting concrete, sand, or other substances that create dusts or fumes, you need to ensure that you and all workers wear breathing protection to protect your lungs from the dust.

    Danger

    Contacting underground hazards with the machine while drilling or reaming can cause explosion, electrocution, breathing problems, severe trauma, and death to you or bystanders.

    • Ensure that all personnel at the job site wear personal protective equipment including a hard hat, eye protection, electrically insulated safety boots and gloves, and hearing protection.

    • Keep bystanders and spectators away from the job site, including the complete bore path.

    • Locate and expose all electric and gas lines that you will be crossing by careful hand digging.

    • Ensure that you use the Zap-Alert system whenever operating the machine.

    Danger

    Drilling into a gas line can cause an explosion or fire, burning, injuring, or killing you or others in the vicinity of the break.

    • Do not smoke or have any source of flame near gas lines or at either end of a bore that will be crossing a gas line.

    • Keep bystanders and spectators away from the job site, including the complete bore path.

    • Locate and expose all gas lines that you will be crossing by careful hand digging.

    • Have the gas company turn off the gas to any lines you will be crossing before drilling.

    • Use the receiver to track the exact position of the drill head when approaching gas lines.

    Danger

    Drilling into an electric power line will cause the machine to become electrified and may electrocute you or any bystanders.

    • Keep bystanders and spectators away from the job site, including the complete bore path.

    • Locate and expose all electric lines that you will be crossing by careful hand digging.

    • Have the electric company turn off the power to any lines you will be crossing before drilling.

    • Use the receiver to track the exact position of the drill head when approaching electric lines.

    • Before drilling, setup and use the Zap-Alert system which is designed to notify in the case of an electric strike. If the Zap-Alert alarm triggers, stop what you are doing and do not leave the operator’s position. Refer to Deploying the Zap-Alert System for detailed instructions on using the Zap-Alert system.

    Warning

    Machining or handling stone, masonry, concrete, metal, and other materials can generate dust, mists, and fumes containing chemicals, such as silica, known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, silicosis, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

    • Control dust, mist, and fumes at the source where possible. Water should be used for dust suppression when feasible.

    • Use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer or suppliers, OSHA, and other occupational and trade associations.

    • When the hazards from inhalation cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should wear a respirator approved by OSHA for the material being handled.

    Warning

    Silicosis Warning: Grinding, cutting, or drilling stone, masonry, concrete, metal, and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mist containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick, clay, granite, and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, follow respiratory precautions.

One of the more challenging aspects of planning the bore path is to determine the entry point of the bore. You need to take the following traits into account when determining the location of the entry point:

• Bore depth

  This the depth at which you want to install the utility line or pipe. This machine is designed primarily for installations between 1 and 3 m (3.5 to 10 ft).

• Pipe and material flexibility

  The 3 m (10 ft) pipes used on this machine can flex to an 8% pitch over the length of the pipe; this equates to a bend of no more than 20 cm (8 inches) off of a straight path (Figure 41).

  Important: If you steer the pipe to bend sharper than 20 cm (8 inches) per pipe, you may damage the pipes and their connections. You must also make steering changes gradually over the entire length of each pipe. If you steer the whole 20 cm (8 inches) in only 25 to 50 cm (1 to 2 ft) of travel, you can permanently damage the pipes.

  

  Figure 41

  1. 20 cm (8 inches)

  This flexibility is often rated in materials as a minimum bend radius, which is the radius of the circle formed if the material or pipes, connected together, were bent to form a giant circle. The minimum radius of a circle made with the pipe used with this machine is 31 m (101 ft).

• Entry pitch

  The entry pitch is the angle at which the drill bit enters the ground. With the tracks on level ground, the stabilizers down, and the stake-down plate on the ground, the drill frame angle is about 15 degrees or a 27% pitch. This pitch will change depending on the slope of the ground and other factors of the job site. You can also reduce this pitch a bit by building up the ground under the stake-down plate before positioning the machine. You can determine the actual pitch of the drill frame by placing the drill bit and sonde housing on the frame and then use the receiver to display the pitch.

  The steeper your entry pitch is, the deeper your bore must be due to the limitations of the pipe flexibility. Typically, you need to insert the drill bit and at least 1/3 of a pipe into the ground before you can start steering toward the beginning of the bore point. Figure 42, Figure 43, and the following table illustrate the relationship between entry pitch and depth.

  

  Figure 42

  1. 26% pitch

  3. 76 cm (30 inches)
  

  Figure 43

  1. 18% pitch
  2. 3 m (10 ft)
  3. 53 cm (21 inches)

  Note: The depths given in the following table are for 3 m (10 ft) of combined drill head and pipe. As you steer up, the pitch of the steered section changes and can be monitored with the receiver. Use the following table to identify how many lengths of pipe will be necessary to insert and steer to the beginning point and help you choose an entry point.

  Pitch	Depth Change per 10 feet	Pitch	Depth Change per 10 feet
  1%	2 cm (1 inch)	26%	76 cm (30 inches)
  2%	5 cm (2 inches)	27%	79 cm (31 inches)
  3%	10 cm (4 inches)	28%	81 cm (32 inches)
  4%	13 cm (5 inches)	29%	84 cm (33 inches)
  5%	15 cm (6 inches)	30%	86 cm (34 inches)

  20%	61 cm (24 inches)	45%	124 cm (49 inches)
  21%	64 cm (25 inches)	46%	127 cm (50 inches)
  22%	66 cm (26 inches)	47%	130 cm (51 inches)
  23%	69 cm (27 inches)	48%	133 cm (52 inches)
  24%	71 cm (28 inches)	49%	135 cm (53 inches)
  25%	74 cm (29 inches)	50%	137 cm (54 inches)
  All measurements are approximate and will vary depending on soil conditions. Note: Refer to the guidance system Operator’s Manual for more information.

Given the information in the table, you can calculate the number of pipes required to reach your beginning point at the appropriate depth. Toro recommends that you start the entry point a distance back from your beginning-at-depth point by the same distance as the length of pipes you will need to reach that point. This will ensure that you have enough extra space so you will not over-steer and damage the pipes.

The following example illustrates the process given an installation using the maximum entry pitch of the machine (26%) on level ground:

Figure 44

1. 26% pitch
2. 76 cm (30 inches)
3. 142 cm (56 inches)
4. 185 cm (73 inches)
5. 203 cm (80 inches)
6. 208 cm (82 inches)
7. 14.7 m (45 ft)

• You insert the first 3 m (10 ft) of drill bit/pipe into the ground with no steering. The end of the drill bit is 76 cm (30 inches) deep (Figure 44).

• You begin steering up for the next 3 m (10 ft), pushing the pipes in at the maximum pitch change of 8%. This results in a change of pitch from 26% at the beginning of the 3 m (10 ft) to 18% at the end of the 3 m (10 ft) for an average pitch of 22%. Given that, the drill head lowers another 66 cm (26 inches) and is now 142 cm (56 inches) deep.

• Continuing steering up for the next 3 m (10 ft) at an 8% pitch change, your pitch changes from 18% to 10% for an average pitch of 14%. Given that, the drill head lowers another 43 cm (17 inches) and is now 185 cm (73 inches) deep.

• Continuing steering up for the next 3 m (10 ft) at an 8% pitch change, your pitch changes from 10% to 2% for an average pitch of 6%. Given that, the drill head lowers another 18 cm (7 inches) and is now 203 cm (80 inches) deep.

• Leveling the drill head from 2% to 0% takes less than 1.5 m (5 ft) more for a final depth of 208 cm (82 inches). Reaching this final point took 4 and a half, 3 m (10 ft) pipes. So for this example your entry point should be 14.7 m (45 ft) back from the beginning-at-depth point of your installation.

The following example illustrates the process given an installation using the machine at an 18% pitch on level ground:

Figure 45

1. 18% pitch
2. 53 cm (21 inches)
3. 96 cm (38 inches)
4. 114 cm (45 inches)
5. 119 cm (47 inches)
6. 10.6 m (35 ft)

• You insert the first 3 m (10 ft) of drill bit/pipe into the ground with no steering. The end of the drill bit is 53 cm (21 inches) deep (Figure 45).

• You begin steering up for the next 3 m (10 ft), pushing the pipes in at the maximum pitch change of 8%. This results in a change of pitch from 18% at the beginning of the 3 m (10 ft) to 10% at the end of the 3 m (10 ft) for an average pitch of 14%. Given that, the drill head lowers another 43 cm (17 inches) and is now 96 cm (38 inches) deep.

• Continuing steering up for the next 3 m (10 ft) at an 8% pitch change, your pitch changes from 10% to 2% for an average pitch of 6%. Given that, the drill head lowers another 18 cm (7 inches) and is now 114 cm (45 inches) deep.

• Leveling the drill head from 2% to 0% takes less than 1.5 m (5 ft) more for a final depth of 119 cm (47 inches). Reaching this final point took 3 and a half, 3 m (10 ft) pipes. So for this example, your entry point should be 10.6 m (35 ft) back from the beginning-at-depth point of your installation.

Important: You can use the information contained in this section to determine both the space needed to steer up to the exit point if needed and also to steer around obstacles.

With the information you gathered previously, map out the path of the bore, identifying the following so that you can mark the site later:

• Entry point

• Location of the machine and supporting equipment

• Beginning of bore-at-depth

• Any obstacles that you need to steer around and the locations where you need to start steering to get around or under them

• Any utility lines you will need to cross

• Slope and soil changes along the path that will affect the bore

• End of the bore-at-depth

• Exit location if it is different than the end of the bore

• The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.

• Wear appropriate clothing, including long pants; eye and hearing protection; slip-resistant, substantial foot protection; and hard hats. Tie back long hair and do not wear jewelry.

• Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Never carry passengers on the machine and keep bystanders and pets away from the machine during operation.

• Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid holes or hidden hazards.

• Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts.

• Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of a clear path.

• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.

• Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.

• Stop the machine whenever you are not operating it.

• Stop the machine and inspect the after striking an object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.

• Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always yield the right-of-way.

• Never run an engine in an area where exhaust gasses are enclosed.

• Never leave a running machine unattended.

• Before leaving the operating position, do the following:

  • Move the machine to level ground.

  • Shut off the engine and remove the key.

  • Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.

• Do not use the machine as a towing vehicle.

• Use accessories, attachments, and replacement parts approved by The Toro® Company only.

When operating the machine on a slope, the operator must account for many variables, such as the amount, distribution, and height of the load; the stability of the ground; uneven terrain and obstacles; and the condition of the brakes. These and other variables make it impractical to designate the maximum angle at which the operator can safely use the machine for all slopes and situations.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. The operator is responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. Before using the machine on a slope, the operator must do the following:

• Review and understand the slope instructions in the manual and on the machine.

• Evaluate the site conditions of the day to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation. Use common sense and good judgment when performing this evaluation. Changes in the terrain, such as moisture, can quickly affect the operation of the machine on a slope.

• Walk beside the machine when tramming up and down slopes.

• Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do not operate the machine near drop offs, ditches, embankments, water or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a track goes over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe distance (twice the width of the machine) between the machine and any hazard.

• Avoid starting, stopping or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction; turn slowly and gradually.

• Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering or stability is in question. Be aware that operating the machine on wet terrain, across slopes or downhill may cause the machine to slide even if the tracks are stopped.

• Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

• Over time, the DPF accumulates soot in the soot filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF.

• When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the diesel particulate filter.

• DPF regeneration is a process that heats the DPF to convert the soot to ash.

• In addition to the warning messages, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different soot-accumulation levels.

Refer to the Software Guide for fault messages and recommended actions.

• The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter.

• Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust.

• The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.

• When enough ash accumulates, the engine computer sends information to the display in the form of a system advisory or an engine fault to indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.

• The advisory and faults are indications that it is time to service the DPF.

• In addition to the warnings, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different ash-accumulation levels.

Refer to the Software Guide for fault messages and recommended actions.

Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that are performed while the machine is operating:

Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that require you to park the machine:

Type of Regeneration	Conditions for DPF regeneration	DPF description of operation
Parked	Soot buildup occurs as a result of prolonged operation at low-engine speed or low-engine load. May also occur as a result of using incorrect fuel or oil	When the parked-regeneration icon is displayed on the display, a regeneration is requested.
	The computer detects back pressure due to soot buildup and requests a parked regeneration
		• Perform the parked regeneration as soon as possible to avoid needing a recovery regeneration.
		• A parked regeneration requires 30 minutes to complete.
		• You must have at least a 1/4 tank of fuel in the tank.
		• You must park the machine to perform a recovery regeneration.
		Refer to Parked Regeneration and Recovery Regeneration and the Software Guide for your machine.
Recovery	Occurs as a result of ignoring parked regeneration requests and continuing operation, adding more soot when the DPF is already in need of a parked regeneration	When the recovery-regeneration icon is displayed on the display, a recovery regeneration is requested.
		• A recovery regeneration requires approximately 4 hours to complete.
		• You must have at least a 1/2 tank of fuel in the machine.
		• You must park the machine to perform a recovery regeneration.
		Refer to Parked Regeneration and Recovery Regeneration and the Software Guide for your machine.

• Passive regeneration occurs as part of normal engine operation.

• While operating the machine, run the engine at full-engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

• The computer takes control of the intake throttle to increase the temperature of the engine exhaust.

• While operating the machine, run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

• The computer takes control of the intake throttle and changes the fuel injection operation to increase the temperature of the engine exhaust.

  Important: The assist/reset-regeneration icon indicates that the exhaust temperature discharged from of your machine may be hotter than during regular operation.

• While operating the machine, run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

3. Change the row selector to row 1 on the display to rotate the cam assembly to the first row in the pipe holder; refer to the Software Guide.

4. Lower the pipe elevators to load a pipe into the cam assembly.

5. Rotate the cam assembly with the pipe toward the drill frame, and extend the pipe grippers until the pipe is centered over the drill string and in front of the drill spindle on the carriage.

6. Raise the pipe elevators.

7. Engage the exit side lockout system and rotate the drill spindle clockwise and move the carriage slowly forward to insert the spindle into the female end of the pipe (Figure 65).

   

   Figure 65

   1. Drill spindle
   2. Pipe

8. 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.

9. 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).

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 (Figure 66).

   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.

   

   Figure 66

   2. Lower wrench (stationary wrench)
   3. Drill pipe
   4. Lead bar

5. Using the upper wrench, clamp the lead bar and tighten it to full machine torque.

6. Using the exit-side-lockout transmitter, enable the exit-side lockout.

7. Double check the drill head and bit to ensure that the fluid ports are clean and free from obstructions.

8. Install the drill head onto the end of the lead bar as directed by the drill head manufacturer, then clear away from the front of the machine.

   Important: Do not pull the drill head into the pipe guide, or you may damage the machine or the drill head.

The first step is to create the entry shaft. Push and bore the drill bit and the first few pipes into the ground at an angle from 0 to 16 degrees (with the tracks flat on the ground) until you reach the desired depth.

Important: Drill and ream in a clockwise rotation. If you use a counterclockwise rotation, the pipe will disconnect from each other and may be disconnected underground.

1. When the area is clear of people, disable the exit-side lockout using the exit-side-lockout transmitter; push the exit-side-lockout, reset switch on the control panel.

2. Turn on the drilling fluid pump switch and allow the fluid pressure to build to 1379 to 2068kPa (200 to 300 psi).

3. Rotate the drill head until the bit is at the 6 o’clock position.

4. Move the carriage forward driving the bit straight into the ground until the entire dill housing is underground.

5. Continue pushing forward and begin rotating the drill spindle clockwise to initiate the drilling action.

6. Drill forward until the carriage reaches the end of the frame, then retract it about 6 mm (1/4 inch).

1. Align the pipe joint in the wrench assembly.

2. Close the lower wrench (stationary wrench) onto the first pipe.

   Note: The drilling fluid automatically shuts off when you activate the lower wrench.

3. Pull back the carriage approximately 12.7 mm (0.5 inch).

   Note: This allows the carriage to float and not damage the pipe threads.

4. Rotate the drill head counterclockwise until the spindle is completely removed from the pipe.

5. Spray the spindle with thread joint compound, then return the drill carriage to the upper end of the frame.

6. Rotate the cam assembly to the closest row of pipes in the pipe holder.

7. Lower a pipe into the cam assembly and grip it in place.

8. Rotate the cam assembly toward the drill frame, and extend the pipe grippers until the pipe is centered over the drill string and in front of the spindle on the carriage.

9. Rotate the drill spindle clockwise and move the carriage slowly forward to insert the spindle into the female end of the pipe (Figure 65).

   Note: Tighten the joint until the pipe is rotating with the spindle.

10. 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.

11. Rotate the drill spindle clockwise and move the carriage slowly forward to insert the male end of the pipe into the female end of the previous pipe. Tighten the joint until you reach no more than 2,304 N∙m (1,700 ft-lb).

12. Release and retract the pipe gripper, rotating it all the way out past the third row of pipes.

    Important: Ensure that you fully retract the pipe gripper and rotate it all the way out; otherwise the carriage may collide with the gripper, damaging the machine.

13. Release the wrench and continue the drilling operation.

The drill bit is shaped like a wedge, angled from one side of the bit to the other. When you push the bit through the soil without rotating it, it moves toward the direction that the wedge is pointing. When you rotate the pipe and drill head, it bores through the soil in a straight path.

Figure 67

1. Drill bit

When drilling, a crew member follows the drill head as it progresses. The receiver receives signals from the sonde in the drill head identifying its position, depth, pitch, direction, transmitter temperature, and orientation in the soil. The remote console is a screen that remains near you (the drill operator) to show you the information from the receiver while drilling so that you can make steering decisions.

For detailed information on using the receiver and remote console to guide the drill head, refer to the Operator’s Manual that came with your receiver.

Important: Do not steer the drill head more than 20 cm (8 inches) off center for every 3 meters (10 ft) of forward travel. If you steer more than this, you will damage the drill pipes.

After creating the entry shaft, you gradually steer the drill head up while pushing forward, following the planned bore path. When you reach the desired depth, level out the drill head and bore the horizontal shaft, adding pipes as you go. While boring, pay close attention to the information relayed back to you by the crew member about the status and location of the drill head to ensure that you are following the planned path.

Important: While drilling, watch the sonde temperature. All sondes have a maximum temperature above which they will be damaged. Friction between the drill head and the soil causes the temperature to raise. To reduce the temperature, slow down, decrease forward pressure, and increase the drilling fluid flow. If the drill head is entering a soil type other than what it is designed for, that can also raise the temperature. Assess the situation and pull out the drill head and change it if necessary.

If you run into an obstruction, do the following:

1. Increase the flow of the drilling fluid for a few seconds without drilling, then attempt to continue drilling forward.

   This may loosen the obstruction and allow you to push past it.

2. If the obstruction persists, try 1 or more of the following options:

   • If the obstruction is in an area where you can dig, stop the drill head with the Exit Side Lockout and dig down to the obstruction to identify it and remove it if possible.

   • Pull the drill head back 15 m (50 ft) or more and steer the drill head to the side, marking a new drill path around the obstacle.

     Important: Do not steer the drill head more than 20 cm (8 inches) off center for every 3 meters (10 ft) of forward travel. If you steer more than this, you will damage the drill pipes.

   • If the obstruction is actually a change in soil types, such as a zone of rocky soil, pull the drill head all the way back and change to a drill bit appropriate for drilling through the new soil type.

As you approach the end of the bore, steer the drill head to the exit point, keeping the steering limits in mind as you do so. Before exiting the ground, ensure that everyone is away from the exit point. As soon as you break through, stop the drilling-fluid flow. Extend the drill forward until the entire drill head is out of the ground.

1. Using the exit-side-lockout transmitter, enable the exit side lockout.

2. Using breakout tools, remove the drill head from the lead bar.

   Important: Do not use pipe wrenches.

3. Double check the reamer to ensure that the fluid ports are clean and free from obstructions.

4. Install the reamer and swivel onto the end of the lead bar as directed by the reamer manufacturer.

5. Connect the product to the reamer using an appropriate pulling connection; refer to your Authorized Service Dealer to acquire the appropriate puller to meet your requirements.

1. Using the exit-side-lockout transmitter, enable the exit side lockout.

2. 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.

Use high-quality, low-ash engine oil that meets or exceeds the following specifications:

• API service category CJ-4 or higher

• ACEA service category E6

• JASO service category DH-2

Important: Using engine oil other than API CJ-4 or higher, ACEA E6, or JASO DH-2 may cause the diesel particulate filter to plug or cause engine damage.

Use the following engine oil viscosity grade:

• Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40 (above 0°F)

• Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all temperatures)

Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your Authorized Service Dealer in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity grades. See the parts catalog for part numbers.

The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first started.

Important: Check the engine oil daily. If the engine-oil level is above the Full mark on the dipstick, the engine oil may be diluted with fuel;If the engine oil level is above the Full mark, change the engine oil.

The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill the engine with oil.

Important: Keep the engine oil level between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick; the engine may fail if you run it with too much or too little oil.

Check the engine-oil level as shown in Figure 91.

Figure 91

Note: Change the engine oil and filter more frequently when the operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
