The Heavy Duty M-5 Core Rig with Quick Disconnect and Weka Motor is a game - changer. It can mount hydraulic motors. It has a 12' standard bit capacity and 20' with spacers, and it's the lightest big rig on the market! Key features include a quick - release motor mount, a 4 - spoke sliding handle usable on either side, a positive carriage lock, a hard - anodized 2 - 1/2' x 3' extruded aluminum lightweight column to prevent wear, a quick - release vacuum button, a top carrying handle (ceiling jack available), large bit capacity in a smaller rig system, an angle stand for up to 45° drilling, double column support for stability, and easily adjustable slide bearings. There are multiple engine/motor models like DK22, DK22S, and CB744 with different power and RPMs, available both with and without a vacuum pump.
Using the Heavy Duty M-5 Core Rig with Quick Disconnect and Weka Motor is straightforward. First, decide which engine/motor model suits your needs from the options available. If you choose a model with a vacuum pump, set up the add - on vacuum base properly to secure the rig. Then, mount your hydraulic motor. You can use the 4 - spoke sliding handle on either the right or left side as you prefer. For drilling at an angle, adjust the angle stand up to 45°. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the hard - anodized aluminum column for any signs of wear. Clean the quick - release buttons and the carriage lock to ensure smooth operation. Keep the slide bearings well - adjusted. If you're using the rig with a vacuum pump, maintain the pump according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always follow safety guidelines and make sure to power off the rig when not in use.
