GBM How-To Series // Installing Pilot Tubes

Learn how to launch the steering head adapter and the first few sections of pilot tubes with the GBM jacking frame and make-up tool controls. Control the direction of the steering head by viewing the LED target on the Guidance System Monitor. Adjust the monitor’s clarity to keep the LED target view on center with the crosshairs. The tutorial features Akkerman Guided Boring System Product Manager, Terry Fisher.
See Section 6:30-6 of your GBM Operator’s Manual for more information.
