General system description


Wagon frame with track frames
The diesel engine, chassis, dust collector, hydraulic system, air system and boom
system are mounted on the wagon frame.
The wagon frame comprises a frame with operator's cab mounted on the left. Controls
for tramming and drilling are installed in the operator's cab.
The track frames are carried on journals in the chassis frame. When tramming on
uneven ground the drill rig is balanced by means of two compensating cylinders.
Each track frame has its own service brake. The brakes are operated by two separate
control systems.
The bodywork covers the diesel engine, the compressor, the various lubrication tanks,
the valves and the hydraulic hoses. Inspection covers allow easy access to the
various machine components. The covers are secured in the open position by means
of gas springs.
The dust collector is mounted at the back of the rig on the right-hand side.

Power pack
This hydraulic drill rig is powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine.
The diesel engine is equipped with a monitoring system that includes automatic
shutdown functions.
The drill rig is driven by two traction motors with gears. The traction motors with gears
are mounted on the track frames.
The hydraulic pumps and the compressor are driven by a diesel engine.

Boom system
The boom system consists of inner/outer boom bodies, boom head, feed holder and
associated hydraulic cylinders. The boom system is controlled by directional valves for
positioning the feed with the rock drill at different distances and directions.

Dust collector
The hydraulically driven dust collector features automatic cleaning and consists of a
filter unit, pre-separator, suction fan and suction hose.

Operators instructions
1. General

Electrical system
The 24 V electrical system is supplied with current by an alternator and two batteries.
The electrical system comprises starting equipment, work lighting, electric controls
and safety devices.
The emergency stop buttons and wires are connected in series with the engine's
cut-off system. If an emergency button or wire is activated, the engine stops
immediately. Reset the buttons before restarting the engine. The engine cannot be
started if one of the emergency stops is activated.
For further details, see separate wiring diagram.
For details of the diesel engine, see separate diesel engine instructions.

Hydraulic system
The principal components of the hydraulic system comprise oil cooler, hydraulic oil
tank, valves, hoses and five hydraulic pumps.
The five hydraulic pumps create hydraulic pressure in order to control the different
functions. The table below indicates which hydraulic pump controls which function.

Air system
The air system consists of the compressor with oil separator, hoses and valves. The
compressor is driven directly by the diesel engine.
The compressor element is lubricated by an air-oil mixture. The mixture is separated
in the oil separator.
The system supplies air for flushing the drill hole, cleaning the dust collector filter and
for the rock drill's ECL and ECG (option) lubricating systems for oiling the drill steel
threads.

be used for system troubleshooting and information. Beneath the warning lamps is
located a digital display (3) for engine parameters. When the EMS receives a fault
code from an engine control unit the digital display will be replaced with the Active
Fault Codes message and the corresponding warning lights up. When the EMS
receives a severe fault code from an engine control unit the digital display will be
replaced with the Shutdown! message and the corresponding shutdown lamp lights
up. Beneath the warning lamps is located a digital display (3) for engine parameters.
The Power View has four buttons using self-calibrating charge transfer activation

Always check the ground conditions where the rig
shall be manoeuvred
Keep the track oscillation cylinders locked during
setting-up for drilling
Do not manoeuvre track oscillation in locked position
Do not raise the front section of the track frames with
boom/feeder
Never unlock the track oscillation lock while the rig is
set up for drilling
The angles for Downward/Upward/Lateral, specified
in Technical data, must NOT be combined
Do not exceed the tilt angles, see Technical data
Note the gradient meters' values
Close the cab door and always use the safety belt
Ensure that unauthorised personnel are not within the
working area

1.

Tram the machine to the desired location.

2.

Level the drill rig as close to as horizontal as possible with track oscillation in open
position.

3.

Place both Right and Left Oscillation Control switches in the locked position.

4.

Move the rock drill back so that the bit is inside the dust hood.

5.

Position the feeder to the required position for drilling.

6.

Place the feed spike firmly on the ground. When vertically drilling, apply a
downward force by using feed extension cylinder to lift the tracks off the ground to
a position so that there is clearance under the first track roller. This applies enough
weight on the feed to prevent it from kicking out while drilling.

Changing drill bit


WARNING
Moving part
Risk of personal injury, clothing can be trapped
Stop rock drill rotation when changing bits

Note
Never start percussion with the drill bit free without any resistance.
1.

Operate the feeder until the spike is approx. 10 cm from the rock.

2.

Make sure that the rotation lever is in neutral.

3.

Move the drill bit forward until it is pressed against the rock.

4.

Activate on high percussion pressure for several seconds.

5.

Stop percussion, when the drill bit has loosened. If the percussion pressure is
engaged for too long then the drill steel can detach from the shank adapter.

6.

Unscrew the old drill bit by hand and replace with a new one.

Action in case of drilling problems


Drilling problems
If the following trouble occurs during drilling:

7-6

Hot coupling sleeves (loose coupling sleeves).


Difficulties in uncoupling the coupling sleeves.
Hole deflections
Drilling through overburden
Drilling with water in the hole

Operators instructions
7. Drilling

High coupling sleeve temperature


Note
Coupling sleeve temperature must not exceed 120 C (248 F).
1.

Excessive coupling sleeve temperature is indicated by:


a. Measuring with a thermometer
b. Oil dripping from the rock drill vaporises on the coupling sleeve
c. The coupling sleeve changes colour

2.

Depending on the layers of the rock, temperature can vary even within a small
area. High coupling sleeve temperature is usually due to a poor relationship
between drill feed pressure, percussion pressure and rotation pressure. The
following solutions are recommended to reduce coupling sleeve temperature.
a. Check the condition of the drill bit. An over drilled bit gives less torque in the
coupling sleeve.
Grind the drill bit.
b. Change to a drill bit with ballistic buttons.
c. If the rock is too hard for ballistic bits, then..
reduce rotation speed as much as possible without causing the drill string to
rotate jerkily
check the drill feed pressure and set it to the recommended value.
Reduce percussion pressure to below the basic setting (5-10bar). A
reasonable reduction in penetration rate must be accepted.
d. Check and/or adjust damper pressure so that the shank adapter is in float
position.

Difficulties in loosening the coupling sleeve


The best method of loosening the coupling sleeve is to drill the last few
centimetres without feed pressure and rotation, leaving percussion active for a few
seconds to break loose the coupling sleeve.

7-7

Operators instructions
7. Drilling

Note
Do not use rattling for a long time. It makes drop the bit easily. To avoid dropping the
bit, use forward rotation.

Hole deflection
1.

Try to drill with as low a drill feed pressure as possible.

2.

Check the condition of the drill bit.

3.

Drill the first drill steel with reduced drilling for at least half of the drill steel in order
to minimise hole deflection at the start of the hole.

Drilling through overburden


When drilling through overburden, there is a risk of blockages in the suction hose
and pickup hood due to the concentration of heavy and dense material.
If a blockage occurs, shut the dust collector off and remove the suction hose from
the pickup hood outlet, let the heavy and dense material fall out of the pickup hood
and remove, by hand any blockages in the cushion hose.

Drilling with water in the hole


If continual water is coming in the hole, you should stop the dust collector. If water
is not noticed in the hole and filters become clogged with dust and water, then
remove the filters and allow them to dry.

Water mist system operation (Option)

WARNING
Shut down the machine before opening the water
mist tank fill valve
Open the fill valve slowly to release internal air
pressure.

1.

Be sure that the Water mist tank is filled with water and detergent mixture.

2.

Open the Water mist flow control valve located near the compressor tank.
