Add/Remove Single Pipe
Load a single drill pipe or up to a whole row of drill pipe into fifth row of pipe box to finish bore without
changing pipe boxes. Pipe can be added as soon as fifth row of pipe has been started and other rows are
empty.
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious injury.
Know location of lines and stay away.
To help avoid injury: Do not attempt to load and unload pipe while drilling or backreaming. Load or
unload all of the pipes that will be needed before resuming drilling or backreaming. Unprotected worker
can be injured by electric strike.
Incorrect procedures could result in death, injury, or property damage.
Learn to use equipment correctly.
To help avoid injury:
• Open or close both auxiliary pipe loaders. Moving shuttles with one auxiliary pipe loader open and
one closed will damage equipment and cause possible injury.
• Carriage must be in full back position to load and unload pipe.
• Drill pipe is heavy. Have enough people on hand to manually add or remove single pipe to pipe box.
