Points” on page 63.
2. Move equipment into selected positions.
Connect Fluid System
1. Connect fluid hose from mixing system to drilling fluid
pump. A 2.0” (50.8 mm) or larger, non-collapsible
hose is required.
2. Install y-strainer between mixing unit and drilling fluid
pump. Position strainer so that drilling fluid flows in
the direction of the arrow. In most cases, positioning
strainer at outlet of mixing unit gives best results.
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious injury.
Know location of lines and stay away.
To help avoid injury: Do not connect drilling unit to a public or private (business or home) water supply.
If an electrical strike occurs while drilling unit is connected to a fluid system, the fluid system will also
become electrified.
IMPORTANT: Clean y-strainer regularly. See
