Emergency Procedures
Emergency Procedures
Before operating any equipment, review emergency procedures and check that all safety precautions have
been taken.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN - Turn ignition switch to stop position or push remote engine stop button (if
equipped).
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious injury.
Know location of lines and stay away.
• Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least resistance.
• Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all equipment.
• Low voltage current can injure or kill. Almost one-third of work-related electrocutions result from
contact with less than 440 volts.
Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike include:
• power outage
• smoke
• explosion
• popping noises
• arcing electricity
If any of these occur, or if strike alarm sounds or flashes, assume an electric strike has occurred.

Gather Information
Gather Information
A successful job begins before the bore. The first step in planning is reviewing information already
available about the job and jobsite.
CMW
Prepare - 72 JT3020 Mach 1/All Terrain Operator’s Manual
Inspect Site
Inspect Site
Inspect jobsite before transporting equipment. Check for the following:
Take soil samples from several locations along bore path to determine best bit and backreamer
combinations.
Contact your local One-Call (811 in USA) or the One-Call referral number (888-258-0808 in USA and
Canada) to have underground utilities located before digging. Also contact any utilities that do not
participate in the One-Call service.
Identify Hazards
Identify safety hazards and classify jobsite. See “Classify Jobsite” on page 74.
NOTICE:
• Wear personal protective equipment including hard hat, safety eye wear, and hearing protection.
• Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
• Notify One-Call and companies which do not subscribe to One-Call.
• Comply with all utility notification regulations before digging or drilling.
• Verify location of previously marked underground hazards.
• Mark jobsite clearly and keep spectators away.
CMW
JT3020 Mach 1/All Terrain Operator’s Manual Prepare - 73
Inspect Site
Slope
Fluid system should be parked on a level site. Consider how slope will affect drilling unit setup, bending
pipe, and fluid flow out of hole.
Traffic
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic must be a safe distance from drilling equipment. Allow at least 10’ (3 m)
buffer zone around equipment.
Space
Check that starting and ending points allow enough space for gradual pipe bending. See “Minimum
Setback” on page 82.
Check that there is enough space to work and to set up electric strike system.
Comfort
Drill downhill when possible so fluid will flow away from drilling unit.

• Inspect jobsite and perimeter for evidence of underground hazards, such as:
– “buried utility” notices
– utility facilities without overhead lines
– gas or water meters
– junction boxes
– drop boxes
– light poles
– manhole covers
– sunken ground
• Have an experienced locating equipment operator sweep area within 20’ (6 m) to each side of bore
path. Verify previously marked line and cable locations.
• Mark location of all buried utilities and obstructions.
• Classify jobsite.
Select a Classification
Jobsites are classified according to underground hazards present.
in concrete, sand, or granite which is capable of producing crystalline silica (quartz) dust

NOTICE: If you have any doubt about jobsite classification, or if jobsite might contain unmarked
hazards, take steps outlined previously to identify hazards and classify jobsite before working.
CMW
JT3020 Mach 1/All Terrain Operator’s Manual Prepare - 75
Classify Jobsite
Apply Precautions
Once classified, precautions appropriate for jobsite must be taken.
In addition to using a directional drilling system with an electric strike system, use one or both of these
methods.
• Expose line by careful hand digging or soft excavation. Use beacon to track bore path.
• Have service shut down while work is in progress. Have electric company test lines before returning
them to service.
In addition to using a directional drilling system and positioning equipment upwind from gas lines, use one
or both of these methods.
• Expose lines by careful hand digging or soft excavation. Use beacon to track bore path.
• Have gas shut off while work is in progress. Have gas company test lines before returning them to
service.
Follow OSHA or other guidelines for exposure to crystalline silica when trenching, sawing or drilling
through material that might produce dust containing crystalline silica (quartz).
You may need to use different methods to safely avoid other underground hazards. Talk with those
knowledgeable about hazards present at each site to determine which precautions should be taken or if
job should be attempted.

Plan Bore Path
If not using Trac Management System Plus, mark the bore path on the ground with spray paint or flags, or
record it on paper for operator reference.
For complicated bores, consult an engineer. Have the jobsite surveyed and bore path calculated. Be sure
the engineer knows minimum entry pitch, bend limits of drill pipe, bend and tension limits of pullback
material, pipe lengths, and location of all underground utilities.
For less complicated bores, plan the bore based on four measurements:
IMPORTANT: See the following pages for more information about these measurements. If not using
Trac Management System Plus, see “Bore Path Calculator” on page 83 and use these measurements to
help plan your bore.
CMW
JT3020 Mach 1/All Terrain Operator’s Manual Prepare - 77
Plan Bore Path
IMPORTANT: Consider recommended bend limits during any bend, not just during bore entry.
Pipe Pitch
NOTICE: Bending drill pipe more sharply than recommended will damage pipe and cause failure over
time. Changes in pitch must be equally distributed over the length of a pipe. Maximum changes in
pitch within 1-2’ (300-600 mm) of pipe create sharp bends that will damage pipe.
Monitor the pitch of each pipe with the 750/752 Display on the operator’s console. See page 59.

Correct Direction
Correct Direction
Correcting direction is a skill operators gain with experience and knowledge of equipment and soil
conditions. These instructions cover only basic procedures. For information about specific equipment or
jobsites, contact your Ditch Witch dealer.
To track progress and make corrections, one crew member locates the drill head and sends instructions to
the operator. Corrections are made by tracking the drill head, comparing current position to bore plan, and
steering drill head as needed.
Basic Rules
General
• Steering ability depends on soil condition; bit, drill head, and nozzle used; roll of drill head; and
distance pushed without outer rotation.
• All corrections should be made as gradually as possible. See “Recommended Bend Limits” on
page 77.
• Over correcting will cause “snaking.” This can damage pipe and will make drilling and pullback more
difficult. Begin to straighten out of each correction as early as possible.
JT Mode
• Do not push an entire piece of drill pipe into ground without rotation. This can exceed bend radius and
cause pipe failure.
AT Mode

Use Carve Mode
Note:
1. Press top of carve mode switch to activate. The information center display on right console will show
“Carve Mode”.
2. Forward thrust is limited to a moderate speed.
3. Use the joystick as normal except that moving the joystick beyond the carve mode limit does not result
in increased speed.
4. If the ground is too hard to simply push through when steering, move the joystick fully forward and rock
the joystick left and right to obtain some cutting action at the tool head.
5. The thrust limit can be changed by pressing the “set-decrease” switch to slow it down or the “resume-
increase” switch to speed it up. During normal adjustment, faster limits result in larger adjustment
steps. To obtain a fine adjustment of this limit, press and hold the enhanced function button while
making the adjustment. Each step will be the smallest possible change regardless of the actual limit
setting.
6. Press bottom of Carve Mode switch to deactivate.
7. If returning to carve mode without turning the key off, the previously set thrust limit will be used.
The Trac Management System Plus is also available for plotting and tracking your bore path. It utilizes the
Ditch Witch 750/752 Tracker, 750/752 Display, a tracking beacon, and special software. The display can
store jobs in its memory or the system can be run in the field using a laptop computer equipped with the

Perform Regular Drill Pipe Care
Precondition New Pipe
Repeat this procedure three times for each piece of pipe before it is used the first time:
1. Hand-lubricate entire surface of threads and shoulders of both ends of pipe with copper base tool
joint compound. See page 199 for recommended lubricant.
2. Join pipe and tighten joint.
3. Break joint.
4. Move pipe back to box.
NOTICE: Failure to follow this procedure could result in fused joints. Pipe will be damaged or destroyed.
Lubricate threads and shoulders of male joints with copper base tool joint compound. This prevents rust
and reduces wear on shoulders and threads. See page 199 for recommended lubricant.
NOTICE: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. This prevents tool joint compound
from sticking to the joints and will reduce thread life.
Because each pipe comes in contact with the saver sub, check saver sub regularly for wear. Compare
condition of saver sub threads to condition of your drill pipe threads. Replace saver sub any time when its
thread condition is not better than thread condition of your drill pipe. Failing to replace saver sub will result
in damaged drill pipe. See page 233 for replacement procedure.
Precondition a new saver sub the same way you do new pipe. See “Precondition New Pipe” on page 154.
Because the lead drill pipe is in the ground longer, it is subjected to higher shock loads and experiences
more wear. To help spread this wear evenly over all pipe, move the lead pipe from the previous job out of
the first position.

Assisted Makeup protects threads by automatically matching carriage movement speed to rotation during
makeup and breakout.
• To connect pipes together and fully tighten joint, slowly rotate pipe until spindle stops turning and
full pressure is developed. Improperly tightened joints will damage the shoulder faces and threads,
and will cause joints to leak or break while drilling or backreaming.
• To disconnect pipes, slowly rotate spindle counterclockwise. Carriage will move back automatically
as threads fully separate.
IMPORTANT: If assisted makeup is not functioning, unit will not thrust or rotate while carriage is on front
or rear home with front wrench closed. Press and hold enhanced function control switch (see “Right
Control Console” on page 39) to operate thrust and rotation and follow these instructions.
Make up and break out joints slowly. Do not ram pipes together during makeup or force them apart
during breakout. Carefully match carriage travel speed to rotation speed, and always connect and
disconnect joints slowly and deliberately. This will help prevent thread crossing, galling, and shoulder
swelling.

Interpret Diagnostic Codes
Warning indicators on the gauge tell the operator when critical and non-critical faults develop. Non-critical
faults occur when engine sensors detect moderate trouble with coolant temperature, oil pressure, charge
air temperature, or fuel temperature. Non-critical faults cause the operator alert indicator to light. Critical
faults cause the engine shutdown indicator to light. In both cases, a fault code is stored in the ECU. If the
fault corrects itself, the engine will gradually return to normal power. The alert indicator will continue to
flash until the trouble goes away, but a fault code will remain stored.
Engine shutdown will occur due to critical faults in engine coolant temperature or oil pressure. Before
shutdown, the operator alert indicator will light continuously and the engine will begin a rapid power derate.
If the fault does not improve in 30 seconds the engine will shut down.
IMPORTANT: For more information on the operator alert indicator and how to operate and read the
diagnostic gauge, see page 30.
When a non-critical engine fault occurs, the operator alert indicator on the
left console will light. A fault code will be stored in the diagnostic gauge.
When a critical engine fault occurs, the engine shutdown indicator will light.
A fault code will be stored in the diagnostic gauge, and the engine will shut
down within 30 seconds.

Diagnostic Information
Use the Information Center to view condition of diagnostic system. Under normal operating conditions,
any diagnostic code that is recorded will be shown on the bottom line of the Information Center. Non-
essential codes will remain for 10 seconds and then go away. Essential codes will remain until the
operator clears them from the display. If diagnostic codes are detected, the diagnostic light will either flash
on and off for 10 seconds to indicate a non-essential code or remain on for 3 seconds and off for half a
second to indicate an essential code.
• A non-essential code affects non-essential functions of the unit. If the system detects a non-essential
problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will flash for 10 seconds and then
go out. Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system
detects a problem.
• An essential code affects rotation, thrust, drilling fluid, or ground drive. If the system detects an
essential problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will cycle on for three
seconds and off for 1/2 second. Some machine functions may not work until the problem is corrected.
Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system detects a
problem.

to supply remanufactured replacements parts under this warranty as it deems appropriate.
Extended warranties are available upon request from your local Ditch Witch dealer or CMW.
Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so above limitation of exclusion may not
apply. Further, some states do not allow exclusion of or limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply. This limited warranty gives product owner specific legal rights and the product owner may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
