Surface to Surface M3-G CAUTIONS The following caution statements have been drawn from the instructions in this manual. They have been assembled here for ready reference. Operating BEFORE starting or restarting the engine and centrifugal pump, make sure any valves installed on the pump intake line are open. BEFORE STARTING OR RUNNING THE ENGINE BE SURE THE PUMP IS PRIMED! This is checked by slowly unscrewing the plug on the top of the centrifugal pump.
Surface to Surface M3-G CAUTIONS continued CARE must be taken that the coupler gaskets are properly installed or a leak may develop. IT is imperative that all suction line connections do not leak. The M3-G uses the vacuum created by the venturi jetting to draw fresh water into the reservoir tank. NEVER leave liquid in the pump casing in freezing weather conditions, damage will result. Follow instruction in this operator manual for winterizing.
Surface to Surface Inc. M3-G (Hose Hook-ups) DRILL FLUID OUT [to Drill Rig] ** 1 1/2" NPT ** OUT FLOW [to Tank Gun(s)] ** 1 1/2" NPT ** PUMP INTAKE [in from Tank] ** 3" NPT ** This line should have a valve installed at the tank to facilitate shut down or reapirs. FLUID RETURN [out to Tank] ** 3" NPT ** This line should discharge above the maximun fill line of the tank. The air space will stop the siphon action of the fluid.
Surface to Surface M3-G Operators Manual Congratulations on your acquisition of the patented (U.S. 5,779,355) M3-G Mixing System. You have acquired the fastest and most efficient mixing system manufactured for mixing Bentonite drilling slurry (mud). As a manufacturer of HDD support equipment, we are well aware of the extreme conditions that HDD equipment is exposed to on a daily basis. Surface To Surface strives to overcome these conditions, with better design and manufacturing practices.
Surface to Surface M3-G Filter / Shear System The filter / shear system on the M3-G is an integral part of the mixing system and to operate efficiently requires daily cleaning of the stainless steel internal filter /shear. The filter / shear system is a two-piece unit consisting of an outside housing and an internal filter / shear. The filter / shear will trap any debris, such as parts of bags, stones, leaves grass etc.
Surface to Surface M3-G Venturi Mixing Tee The Venturi Mixing Tee is the very heart of this system and requires very little maintenance. However M3-G parts may wear as a result of the application in time and require replacement. This wear will become evident, when the operator notices a reduction in vacuum. The M3-G is also equipped with a pressure wand for clearing obstructions and build-up in the jetting tee.
Surface to Surface M3-G OPERATING THE M3-G Before Starting • • • • • • • • • • • READ engine operators manual for proper starting and running procedures. CHECK to assure the engine oil level is correct. Refer to the operator manual supplied by the engine manufacturer. CHECK to assure the air filter is clean (replace if necessary). CHECK to assure the gasoline fuel tank is full and the shut off valve is open. CHECK to assure any valves installed on the pump intake line are open.
Surface to Surface M3-G Mixing Operation • • • • • • • Operate engine at high speed. Open butterfly valve at bottom of hopper where it joins the venturi mixing tee. Introduce the dry or liquid raw material into the hopper. Suction created by the venturi mixing tee will draw the raw material into the jet stream for initial mixing. Flush jetting tee with wash wand. Close the butterfly valve on the hopper to keep debris out of the system.
Surface to Surface M3-G Week End Shut Down • • • • • • • • • Pump or drain remaining mixed slurry product out of your tank and dispose of it according to local environmental approved practices. Make sure “Tank Gun” valve is open. Rinse tank with clear water and then pump through the system, removing as much of the slurry mix in the system as possible. Open the valve on the wash wand to flush with fresh water, back into hopper.
Surface to Surface M3-G Self Loading • If the self-loading feature of The M3-G is required, you will find a 1-1/2 in. NPT port located on the venturi-mixing tee below the hopper. Remove the plug and install a full flow ball valve and a type of quick coupler capable of being capped when not in uses. A non-collapsing hose (hard hose) can then be installed.
