Turn the throttle lever gradually and drill at a slow speed until the hole is collared. The drill should be kept at right angles to the work until the hole is collared, then repositioned for angle drilling. Always apply sufficient down pressure to keep the tool from bouncing.
[pdf] The Well Control System or the Blowout Prevention System on a drilling rig is the system that prevents the uncontrolled, catastrophic release of high-pressure fluids (oil, gas, or salt water) from subsurface formations. These uncontrolled releases of formation fluids are referred to as Blowouts.
[pdf] The hydraulic system is the muscle of the crawler mounted drill rig, and its control is a vital part of the overall control system. Hydraulic valves are used to direct the flow of hydraulic fluid to different actuators, such as cylinders and motors.
