Foreword
This instruction manual is part of the complete delivery of the drill rig. It provides
information on the design and operation of the drill rig and contains advice and the
measures necessary to keep the rig operational. This instruction manual is no
replacement for thorough training on the drill rig.
This instruction manual should be read in advance by all persons who are to operate
or repair the drill rig or carry out maintenance on it.
See separate instructions for documentation on the rock drill/rotation unit, the diesel
engine and certain other components.
For other questions refer to the local Atlas Copco company office. Addresses and
telephone numbers are in the Maintenance instructions.
Use
The drilling equipment is designed mainly for drilling blast holes in e.g. quarries and
opencast mines. All other uses are considered inappropriate.
Examples of inappropriate use:
It is essential the operator has read and comprehends the operator, maintenance
and repair manuals as well as the maintenance schedules.
The drilling equipment must only be used, maintained and repaired by personnel
well conversant with the equipment and the dangers involved.
It is essential that personnel observe general and local safety, health and traffic
regulations.
The manufacturer is not liable to damage caused by any arbitrary changes made
to the drilling equipment.

1. General
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.
1-3
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.
Description
Left tramming, Percussion, Slow feed, Fast feed
The hydraulic oil tank is located on the left-hand side of the drill rig.
The combination cooler is located in the back of the drill rig.
(For further details, see separate hydraulic system diagram)

Operators instructions
1. General
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.

Foreword
This chapter provides instructions for daily inspection and maintenance to be carried
out by the operator before each shift.
Regarding weekly inspections ad other maintenance tasks, see separate instructions
Maintenance schedules ".
DANGER
Danger of moving parts
Risk of serious personal injury
Set all levers and switches in neutral position before
preparing startup
Perform the extra safety check without the engine
running
DANGER
The side hatches on the drill rig are not dimensioned
for extra weight
Risk of serious personal injury
Standing, sitting or leaning on the side hatches can
result in serious injury
The side hatches must be closed when work is
carried out on top of the rig
3-1
Operators instructions
3. Daily checks
Before each shift starts an extra and thorough visual safety check should be carried
out in order to detect:
If the drill rig has been subjected to abnormally high stresses, vital load-bearing
components may have been damaged. From a safety viewpoint, it is therefore
especially important to check the following points (see illustration: Check points).

Note
When you start or stop the engine, be sure to set the engine speed control in
position LOW . Turn the engine speed control switch to the position "DRILL" before
starting drilling. If the mode selector lever is moved to one of the air flushing positions,
the engine speed will automatically increase up to maximum 2,300 rpm, and falls
down to 1,800 rpm when the flushing air demand is stopped.
3.
Note
The machine will only start in the START MODE, the machine will only drill in the
DRILL MODE, the machine will only tram in the TRAM MODE.
This switch must be in START MODE when start the engine. The machine won't start
the switch in the other position.
This machine is equipped with the seat safety interlock device as standard. This
device controls stopping the "all the drill actions" and drilling rotation of the Rock Drill,
when operator leaves from operators seat more than 10 seconds. When the safety
device worked, reset this system by returning this switch to START position once after
sitting back in the seat.

3.
Move the drill bit forward until it is pressed against the rock.
4.
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.

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.
