Prime Drilling Fluid Pump
Prime Drilling Fluid Pump
Prime drilling fluid pump each time the tank is changed. To prime the pump:
1. Fill drilling fluid hose and connect hose to unit.
2. Operate mixing/transfer pump at full speed for 1 - 3 minutes to discharge air from system.
3. Return mixing/transfer pump to normal operating speed and continue the bore.
4. If drilling fluid pressure surges are observed, repeat step 2.
Incorrect procedures could result in death, injury, or property damage.
Learn to use equipment correctly.
To help avoid injury, prime the drilling fluid pump before use. Failure to prime the drilling fluid pump will
cause flow fluctuations, which will make it difficult to control the wash wand.
Pressurized fluid or air could pierce skin and cause injury
or death. Stay away.
