perpendicular to the pipe (Figure 15).

Adding Fuel

• The engine runs on clean, fresh, ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel.

• Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to ensure fuel freshness.

• Use summer-grade diesel fuel (Number 2-D) at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade diesel fuel (Number 1-D or Number 1-D/2-D blend) below

-7°C (20°F ).

• Never mix kerosene, used engine oil, or residual fuels with the diesel fuel.

• Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter.

• Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel additives may cause poor engine performance.

12

DANGER

In certain conditions, fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

Use only diesel fuel. Filling the fuel tank with gasoline may result in a fire.

• Fill the fuel tank and store fuel in a well-ventilated area.

• Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.

• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. This empty space in the tank allows fuel to expand.

• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away from an open flame or where fuel may be ignited by a spark.

• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.

• Do not operate without the entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition.

WARNING

Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.

• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

• Keep your face away from the nozzle and the fuel tank or conditioner opening.

• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

Important: Do not mix oil with diesel.

Diesel fuel should comply with the following specification.

DANGER

In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the fuel vapors. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.

• Always place fuel containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed, because interior carpets or plastic truck-bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

• When practical, remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and fuel the equipment with the wheels on the ground.

• If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

• If a fuel-dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Using Fuel Stabilizer/Conditioner

Use a diesel fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to keep the fuel fresh during storage of 90 days or less. If you are storing the machine for longer, drain the fuel tank; refer

to Storage (page 23).

Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol.

Add the correct amount of fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel, and follow the directions of the manufacturer.

Note: Fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh fuel.

3.

Add the appropriate amount of water to the tank

through the hatch (Figure 9).

If you are using water from a ditch or a pond, place a very fine screen over the inlet of the hose to prevent unwanted material from entering the mixing system.

Ensure that there is enough room for additives in the mixing system.

4.

Test the pH of the water. If it is below 8, add soda ash until the pH is 8 or higher.

Note: Supplies for testing pH are available where swimming-pool supplies are sold.

5.

Slightly open the valve at the bottom of the hopper.

Note: The valve works more effectively when it is open only slightly; it creates a vacuum effect that allows the dry components to enter the mixer at a faster rate.

6.

Add the appropriate amount of bentonite to the hopper.

Note: Add the bentonite slowly to avoid clumping—1 bag in approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Open the tank cover and look to ensure that the fluid components are mixing correctly. If you see any clumps, add the components at a slower rate.

7.

After you have added the appropriate amount of bentonite, add any polymers that the particular soil conditions require.

8.

Lastly, add any other liquids that the soil conditions require.

9.

Allow the machine to thoroughly mix the fluid for several minutes.

2.

Open the transfer valve to allow the fluid to flow to the drill.

Note: Keep the circulation valve open so that the fluid continues to circulate in the mixer.

Important: Unless you are using additional equipment to thoroughly clean the drilling fluid, do not circulate the used fluid through the mixer. Doing so may damage the pump.

Dispose of the used drilling fluid, as well as the unused fluid left in the tank, according to environmental regulations.

Pumping the Fluid to the Drill

DANGER

The fluid mixer will be electrified if the hose is attached to the drill and the drill strikes an electrical line. Contacting the fluid mixer during an electrical strike may cause bodily harm.

• Ensure that the fluid-mixer frame and the tank frame are bonded to the ground rod.

• If a strike occurs, stay away from the fluid mixer and the drill. Do not contact the mixer until the electrical strike has been corrected.

1.

Use the transfer hose (provided) to connect the mixer and the drill.

Note:

The mixer has a male camlock fitting (Figure

21) located after the transfer valve.

Draining the Tank

To drain the tank, remove the drain plug from the side of the

tank frame (Figure 9).

Dispose of the used drilling fluid, as well as the unused fluid left in the tank, according to environmental regulations.

16

Protecting the Machine from

Freezing

1.

Ensure that all the valves are open.

2.

Rinse the tank with clean clear water and then pump it through the system, removing as much of the slurry mix in the system as possible.

3.

Drain the tank; refer to Draining the Tank (page 16).

4.

Drain any remaining fluid from the pump by removing

the drain plug in the bottom of the pump (Figure 22).

G023837

Drain plug

5.

To prevent the valve at the base of the hopper from freezing around the edges, either leave the valve open half way, or close the valve and pour an environmentally friendly antifreeze into the hopper until about 51 mm

(2 inches) of fluid covers the valve.

Operating Tips

• Use the correct fluid formula for the situation and the soil conditions.

• When using fluid with any polymer in it, do not over-mix the fluid, as over-mixing can lower the viscosity of it.

Partially close the circulation valve, or decrease the engine

speed; refer to Speed-control Handle (page 11).

• Some types of polymers prevent additional bentonite from mixing with the fluid. If the fluid contains polymer and you need more fluid, drain the mixer and make a new batch of fluid.

• Ensure that the valves are adjusted appropriately when

the machine is running; refer to Adjusting the Valves

(page 12).

• Clean the drilling fluid out and rinse the inside of the hoses and the tank with water to prevent the fluid from drying up and plugging the lines.

• Keep the hopper inlet clean to prevent the dry mix from mixing with rain or dew and causing a plug.
