Safety Hazards
The Rotary Blasthole Drill is a heavy moving machine with a mast which raises vertically for drilling.
Like all moving objects and reach extending devices, there are potential hazards associated with its
use. These hazards will be minimized if the machine is properly operated, inspected and maintained.
Operator's must read this manual and have been trained to use the machine in an appropriate and
safe manner. Non-English speaking persons must have an interpreter explain all safety and operating
procedures in this manual. Should any questions arise concerning the maintenance or operation of the
machine contact your Cat dealer.
Operating in Wind
Maximum Wind Speed = 75 MPH (120.8 Km/h) at which time drilling must be stopped, mast lowered
and machine shutdown.
If you are in the operator's station during an electrical storm, stay in the operator's station. If you
are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from the vicinity of the machine.

Safety Guidelines
Before Operation
• Do study this manual and fully understand the controls.
• Do be sure all safety guards are securely in place and all access doors are closed and locked.
• Do wear safety helmet, glasses and hearing protection when operating or working on machine.
• Do be sure all personnel are clear of the machine and work area before starting the engine or oper-
ating machine.
• Do be sure drill area is clear of all obstructions before operating and know the size limitations of the
machine.
• Do attach safety chain when using towbar.
• Do Not operate machine with:
• A hydraulic leak
• Broken or damaged electrical wiring
• Damaged hydraulic hoses or f ttings
Operation
• Do provide suff cient ventilation when running the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gasses
contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison, which is colorless and odorless.
• Do make sure the drill pipe is secured in the loader before raising or lowering the mast, if your
machine is equipped with a drill pipe loader.
• Do make sure the mast lock pins are engaged in the mast base before starting drilling operations.
• Do examine the surface before drilling to determine the possible presence of unf red explosives.
• Do use PPE (personal protection equipment) appropriate for the conditions you are working in; e.g.
safety helmet, safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, respirator.
• Do Not wear jewelry or loose f tting clothing when working on machinery. Keep clothing, hands
and hair clear of moving parts.
• Do Not drill into or near a "bootleg" hole or any hole that may contain explosives.
• Do Not use the machine for any other purpose than what it was designed for. This machine is de-
signed for rotary blasthole drilling operations only.
• Do Not travel on steep inclines soft or unstable ground or close to unsupported excavations.
• Do Not move machine if drill is in a potentially unstable position.
After Operation
Normal Shut Down
1. Be sure machine is on solid level ground. Lower jacks, so the jack pads just touch the ground, but
do not lift machine up.
2. Be sure all controls are in the OFF or NEUTRAL position.
3. Allow engine to idle for a minimum of f ve (5) minutes before stopping.
4. Turn the ignition key to OFF position.
5. Check machine for any unusual conditions.
6. Report any defects to your immediate supervisor.
1-6 Safety
Safety Guidelines
Maintenance
• Do be sure two people are present when performing service work, both being fully trained on the
safety issues. One person shall supervise from the operator's position and have immediate access
to an emergency stop in all situations. Visual, audible or verbal communication signals must be
established and understood by both persons.
• Do be sure each person is adequately trained to perform service and maintenance procedures.
• Do place a warning tag on starting controls to alert personnel that someone is working on the ma-
chine and disconnect battery before making repairs or adjustments to machine.
• Do be sure you have adequate lighting when performing service work at night.
• Do relieve pressure on hydraulic or pneumatic systems before loosening connections or parts.
• Do be sure machine and components are well supported before servicing or replacing parts.
• Do maintain a metal-to-metal contact between the f ll nozzle and fuel tank when f lling the fuel tank.
This will prevent sparks and the possibility of an explosion.
• Do Not hammer bit or drill pipe. Use only proper tools to make repair or adjustments.
• Do Not weld or grind near oil lines.
• Do Not attempt to remove radiator cap when engine is hot or has overheated.
• Do Not smoke or use an open f ame near batteries, when servicing the batteries. Batteries can
give off hydrogen which is a highly explosive gas.
• Do Not leave tools or other loose objects on the engine, drive mechanisms or drilling platform.
They could be thrown by this equipment with a powerful force.
Equipment Transfer
• If all or part of the equipment is shipped to a new destination, always include a complete instruction
manual or a copy of the following topics from the operator's manual:
• Safety Section
• Operation Instructions including:
• Pre-Start Checks
• Start-up
• After Start Checks
• Shutdown Procedure Clearances from High Voltage Lines
• Propelling Machine Line Voltage Minimum Clearance

NOTE The values contained here are given only as guidelines, and are not intended as a rec-
ommendation for safe operation. Safe operation is dependent on operator experience
and judgement, ground conditions and proper preparation of ground surfaces, and
accelerations due to sudden change of direction or speed of movement, either from
operator input or ground conditions on which machines are operating.
Machines are typically much more stable operating with the mast down anytime a
machine is operating on rough ground conditions, significant slopes, or there is any
doubt about the machine stability or its ability to be operated safely in the conditions
2-20 in question.

DRILLING
Mast Removal
1. Remove drill pipe from mast (refer to "loading and unloading drill pipe" in Section 4) and swing
carousel all the way in.
2. Lower mast to horizontal position, so that mast is resting on mast support.
3. Shut down the machine and be sure pressure has been relieved before removing any connec-
tions or f ttings. Tag and remove all hydraulic, pneumatic and grease lines to the mast. Use
numbered or lettered caps and plugs to aid in reassembly. Disconnect electrical plug from mast
valve bank.
If using one crane for lifting the mast, the lifting slings should be positioned at about a
NOTE
45o angle from the mast.
4. Attach four (4) steel cable lifting slings to the mast at the lifting points (f g. 6-1). Use a crane
capable of supporting the weight of the mast and able to lift the mast high enough to clear the
height of the machine (refer to machine specif cations on previous pages). Attach two guide
ropes to mast to control swinging of mast.
5. Remove the two capscrews that secure the mast pivot lug cap and remove cap from each side
of mast (f g. 6-1).
6. Support the mast cylinders to prevent movement after the cylinder pins are removed. Raise the
mast slightly to take weight off the mast cylinder pins and remove the cotter pins and cylinder
pins from mast.
Keep all personnel clear of mast when lifting. Do not allow anyone under mast when
lifting.
7. Lift mast clear of machine and tram machine out from under mast. Position trailer under mast
and lower mast onto trailer and secure for transport (refer to loading and unloading proce-
dures).
8. Using a suitable lifting device lean the mast cylinders forward and secure to the "A" Frame if
the machine is being transported.
Keep all personnel clear of mast when lifting. Do not allow anyone under mast when
lifting.
Mast Installation
NOTE If using one crane for lifting the mast, the lifting slings should be positioned at about a
45o angle from the mast.
1. Attach four (4) steel cable lifting slings to the mast at the lifting points (f g. 6-1). Use a crane
capable of supporting the weight of the mast and able to lift the mast high enough to clear the

2. Place any loose items into tool box, such as brass bushings from mast pivot, bit sub, etc.
3. Place mast raise cylinders against mast "A" frame and secure with rope to keep them from
moving.
4. If necessary (due to travel width restrictions in your area) the cab extension and walkway can
be removed for transport. Support walkway with forklift or overhead lifting device and remove
the bolts that secure walkway to frame. Support cab extension by attaching lifting straps to
lifting eyes on cab roof. Disconnect wiring for lights on cab extension. Remove all bolts that
secure cab extension to main cab inside. Remove the bolts that hold the two lower supports to
the cab extension.
Silicone sealant is used when joining the cab extension to the cab to prevent leakage
NOTE
at the joint. Clean old sealant from surfaces and apply new sealant when joining cab
sections together.
5. If cab extension was removed for transport, cover cab opening with plywood. Use same
screws that were removed from cab extension.
6. Cross tape all windows with duct tape.
7. Be sure jacks are raised all the way up. Tram machine onto trailer in reverse for greater vis-
ibility. If possible, lower jacks to trailer f oor, but do not raise tracks. If jacks cannot be lowered,
then secure jack pads with chain and nut (provided on each pad).
8. If lifting machine onto trailer or ship, use the lifting lugs welded to the jack housings (f g. 6-2)
9. Tape exhaust(s) closed, to prevent turbo charger from spinning dry. Clip all chains on hand-
rail openings, check to see that all doors are closed tight and ignition is turned off. If unit is
equipped with a battery disconnect switch, turn switch OFF.

Notes:
1. No. 1-D or No. 2-D diesel fuels as listed in ASTM D975 are acceptable fuels.
2. Distilled water or deionized water is recommended for use in engine cooling systems. Do not use hard water,
softened water that has been conditioned with salt or sea water. Use a 1:1 mixture of water/glycol for opti-
mum performance.
3. Fluid level should be at halfway point on the sight gauge on the tank, when all cylinders are fully extended.
Fluid level should be near the top of the sight gauge, when all cylinders are fully retracted.
• API CH-4 multigrade oils and API CI-4 multigrade oils are acceptable if the requirements of Cat-
erpillar's ECF-1 (Engine Crankcase Fluid-1 specif cation) are met. API CH-4 oils and API CI-4 oils
that have not met the requirements of ECF-1 specif cation may cause reduced engine life.
• API CG-4 multigrade oils are acceptable for all Caterpillar diesel engines. When API CG-4 oils are
used, the oil drain interval should not exceed the standard oil drain interval for your engine.
Compressor Lubrication
• Drain Receiver Condensate–In periods of cold weather and/or high humidity, crack receiver drain
valve prior to start-up to remove water. Close when oil appears.
• Check oil level each shift. The level is checked at the upper
sight glass with machine leveled. To check the oil level, the
machine must be shut down long enough to permit oil foam
to settle or check before start-up at the beginning of the
shift. Oil level should cover the lower sight glass and be at
the center of the upper sight glass (f g. 4-1).
• Change oil after f rst 50 hours, then change oil as
specif ed. Consult your dealer for specif c
recommendations if extremely severe duty is
encountered.
• Fill with oil to red dot in sight window on back of pump (Fig. 4-2).
• Lubricate the wicks monthly with 2–3 drops of oil in each hole on top of the crankcase (Fig. 4-3).
DO NOT lubricate the wicks at initial start-up. Operate pump for 10–15 minutes, then lubricate the
wicks. Use crankcase oil as lubricant.

Auto Lube
The machine can be provided with an optional auto lube system which consists of an air powered
pump assembly f tted to a grease container. The pump supplies grease under pressure to manifolds
containing injectors which supply grease to points required. A f lter/regulator/lubricator supplies 60 PSI
(4.1 bar) to the pump.
The system is controlled by the Drill PLC System. The system will verify delivery of lubricant into a bear-
ing and also controls the lubrication system.
In most cases, the lubrication points in the following table are connected to the auto lube system or will
be connected to lubrication lines from a remote lube bulkhead.
The operator must check all lube points daily to ensure an adequate
supply of grease is available to each.
NOTE If an individual point fails to deliver the system will not fault, hence every delivery
point should be checked regularly for lubrication.
In order for an operator to be sure his drill is ready for operation at any time, a regular program of preven-
tive maintenance should be adopted. It is recommended that such a maintenance program be established
on the basis of the operator and/or maintenance personnel performing specif c maintenance work during
various periods of equipment operations, at intervals during which the equipment will be idle, and during
extended periods of time when the equipment will be in storage.
When the drill is in continual, daily use, it is further recommended that a program of daily service re-
quirements be established with preventive maintenance being performed on a "before operation", "during
operation", and "after operation" schedule.
NOTE For additional preventive maintenance information, refer to vendor manuals provided
in the drill Service Manual.
1. Position the machine in a safe place on level and solid ground. Do not park close to a high wall where
the machine would be in danger of rock fall or slides. Do not park in an area prone to f ooding. Extend
the jacks to contact the ground, but the tracks should also be in contact with ground.
2. If freezing temperatures are expected, be sure cooling system has adequate anti-freeze to protect
system from freezing temperatures.
3. Check all f uid levels, keep fuel tank full to avoid condensation.
4. Follow pre-start checks in section 4 before starting machine. Make walk around inspection of ma-
chine.
5. Start the machine at least once per month. Allow system to warm up and cycle all hydraulic cylin-
ders to their full stroke and back. Follow proper shutdown procedures, allowing engine to idle for at
least f ve minutes before shutdown.
Service Center
Oil f ll and evacuation facilities are provided through the Wiggins service center (f g. 4-11) located at the
front corner of the machine. Fill and drain points provided in the service center are optional. Oil evacuation
from the Rotary Head and Final Drive gearboxes are from the components themselves. The fuel f ll point
is also located at the service center. A sight gauge gives indication of fuel level in percentage.
The service center provides connections for servicing and evacuating the following points (not all points
on all machines):
• Engine oil
• Engine oil reserve
• Engine coolant
• Hydraulic oil
• Compressor oil
• Pump Drive oil
• Fuel
Do not attempt to drain or f ll the receiver tank with compressor oil until the pressure
gauge on the receiver tank reads zero.
Introduction
To properly maintain bolted joints, some technical understanding of threaded fasteners will be helpful.
Threaded fasteners are often taken for granted and are seldom viewed as the highly engineered items
that they are. Their proper selection and proper joint design are critical to ensure structures and machine
elements perform as intended. This is a detailed subject and what is intended here, is to present a few
highlights to assist with good maintenance practices for rotary drills. This guide is not all inclusive.
load cycles. Identical bolts tightened to 8420 lb and stressed to the same 9215 lb survived 4.65 million
cycles before failure. If the bolts had been tightened beyond 9215 lb, it would have been impractical to
cycle them to failure.
• Thermal Relaxation
Bolted joints exposed to high temperatures or thermal cycling have a tendency relax or lose bolt ten-
sion over time, due to stress creep. Since pre-loading stretches bolts, and only stretches them a few
thousandths of an inch. It is easy to imagine that a bolt heated to the operating temperature limits
of an air compressor could increase the plasticity of the bolt material, allowing it to lose some of its
initial loading. Bolted joints of a new machine that are subjected to high heat should be checked and
re-torqued to specif cation after the f rst 500 hours of operation.
Bolts in critical joints should also be removed and replaced every 2.5 years or 15,000 hours of
operation, regardless of apparent condition.

Operating Instructions
Before attempting to operate this machine, read and understand the warnings and cau-
tions listed in Section 1.
Maximum Wind Speed = 75 MPH (120.8 Km/h) at which time drilling must be stopped, mast low-
ered and machine shutdown.
Description
The machine can be equipped with an optional f re suppression system. The system is manually
activated by pushing a button located on one of the two actuators. The actuators are located in the
operator's cab (f g. 5-1) and on the front of the machine (f g. 5-2). The Operator must become familiar
with the location of these actuators.
In addition, there is a battery cut-off switch which automatically cuts off power to the machine when the
f re suppression system is activated.
NOTE At any time if any part of the f re suppression system is suspected of not being fully
operational or has suffered damage, it shall only be serviced by a professional f re
protection service.
Fig. 5-1 Actuator Mounted in Cab Fig. 5-2 Actuator Mounted on Front of Machine
Operation
When the system is activated, the f re suppression agent in three (3) tanks is released and discharged
through a series of nozzles, located in critical areas around the machine. At the same time, the battery
cut-off switch cuts off voltage to the machine.
After a f re, or accidental discharge, the system must be checked and serviced by a professional f re
protection service. In addition, the battery cut-off must be reset by relieving all pressure in the system
through the pressure relief valve and pushing the reset button on the cut-off valve.
In Case of Fire
Locate the nearest actuator.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF if possible.
2. Pull ring pin and push red button on actuator.
3. Get away from machine and call for help.
Before starting the machine, warn nearby members of the work crew that you are
starting the machine. DO NOT USE ETHER on engines equipped with air inlet heat-
ers.
To Start Engine:
1. Be sure all controls are in the Off or Neutral position.
2. Place the air control valve (10) or air control switch (39) in the start position for low pressure sys-
tems or low for high pressure systems. Some machines, use switch (39) in place of valve (10).
3. Place throttle lever (2) in low position.
4. Turn the ignition key (15) on.
5. Push and hold the engine start button (16) until the engine starts, when engine is started, release
start button. The engine pre-lube pump will operate for a few seconds before the starter cranks the
engine. Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds, then allow starter to cool for two minutes
before attempting to start again.
6. If it is necessary to use the optional ether injection (17) for starting, use caution not to use too
much as engine damage can occur. Press button for 3 seconds and release, then allow 3 seconds
before starting engine. DO NOT USE ETHER on engines equipped with air inlet heaters.
DO NOT SPRAY ETHER into compressor inlet.
After-Start Checks
After start checks are carried out to ensure that the
machine is in a safe working condition before the operator
commences drilling procedures.
Compressor air pressure must not exceed 100 PSI (7 bar) for low pressure machines, or
350 PSI (24 bar) for high pressure machines.
3. Check the compressor air temperature, hydraulic oil temperature and engine coolant tempera-
ture readouts. The drill should not be operated until the hydraulic oil temperature reaches 100oF
(37.8oC).
4. Let the engine warm up to 170oF (77oC) prior to activating full rpms. Perform a walk around inspec-
tion. Check entire machine for oil leaks and any abnormal engine noises.
5. Check all f lter indications at operating temperature.
6. Raise mast to vertical position. Lower rotary head to bottom of mast and check gearcase oil level in
sight glass.
7. Check rotation motors and head guide bolts and slides.
8. Grease swivel seal and shock sub (if f tted).
NOTE The shock sub only requires two pumps of grease with a hand held grease gun every
two days.
Ensure correct machine leveling and mast-raising procedures are followed (as outlined
in this section) prior to bringing the rotary head to the bottom of the mast.
DO NOT use the emergency STOP switch to stop the machine, except in an emergency.
Stopping the engine without the proper idle down period can cause engine damage.
Description
The machine can be equipped with optional devices which enable the Operator to shut down the
engine in case of an emergency. There is an emergency stop button in the operator's cab right hand
gauge panel (f g. 4-6). There are also ground level engine stop buttons (f g. 5-7) located on the right
side of the machine in close proximity of the cab, in the engine/motor area and at the front of the
machine.The Operator must become familiar with the location of these devices if the machine is so
In the event of emergency shutdown, the Operator should notify the Supervisor and be sure corrective
equipped.
action is taken to remedy the fault that caused the emergency shutdown, before restarting the machine.
ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling.
• Be sure the machine is level and solidly stabilized with all leveling jacks before attempting to
raise the mast.
•. Be absolutely sure that the mast will not come in contact with power lines, telephone lines or
any other obstructions.
• Be sure the winch lines, hydraulic hoses and air hoses are clear and that all equipment stowed
in the mast is secured.
• Place mast raising control lever in MAST UP position.
• As mast approaches the break-over point, reduce the speed of the mast to gently bring the
mast against the base of the drill.
• Engage mast locks.
• Set Drill/Propel switch to DRILL.
ALWAYS propel the machine in reverse (towards operator's cab) where possible to pro-
vide maximum visibility, propel the machine slowly when working on slopes, ramps or
rough terrain. Be extremely careful when working around trenches or banks.
Propelling the machine across rough/undulating terrain or across grades should never
be carried out with the mast raised. The mast must be lowered prior to propelling over
rough ground.
• The machine should never be propelled over areas that could potentially collapse
or subside.
• Do not travel on steep slopes or crosswise to grades.
• Visually inspect the path to be taken.
• Adhere to all precautions relating to underground workings.
• Never tram through areas of soft unconsolidated materials holding water.
Failure to follow these recommendations could result in a machine roll over.
NOTE When propelling this machine, forward is towards the radiator end of the machine and
reverse is towards the operator's cab.
Both tracks must be operated when propelling the machine. Never allow either track to
drag while propelling in a straight line or turning.
4. To stop propelling machine once at destination, move the propel levers back to the neutral position.
5. Place the Drill/Propel switch in the NEUTRAL position unless drilling is to commence.
1. The mast should always be lowered before propelling the machine down or across grades.
2. When propelling up or down a grade, index the pipe loader to a mid position, so drill pipes cannot
slide forward out of the carousel.
3. When propelling up or down a steep grade, the operator's cab should be facing downhill. With the
mast down, the front end of the machine is heavier than the rear (cab end). This makes the machine
more stable.
4. When propelling up a steep grade, a spotter should be used to guide you, as visibility is restricted to
the operator.
5. Always be careful when propelling machine across grades, as the machine is more unstable sideways
than it is lengthways. Propel with the operator's cab facing uphill when crossing grades whenever
possible.
NEVER propel machine across electric cables. Severe personal injury or death could
occur, as well as property damage.
2. If no approved crossing point exists, then the following procedure should be used to cross electric
cables:
• Use a spotter as a guide. Approach the cable at 90o and stop machine when cable is between
the jack pads and the tracks.
• Carefully lower jacks, making sure the jack pads will not rest on the cable. Raise machine up
on the jacks until tracks are clear of the ground.
• Move cable under tracks until it is between the opposite end of the tracks and jack pads at the
other end of machine.
• Carefully lower machine, making sure cable is not under tracks and retract jacks fully before
continuing to propel machine.
ALWAYS extend front (radiator end) jacks to equalize pressure in both front jacks
after re-leveling machine.
When raising machine, level the rear (cab end) of the machine f rst, then level the front (radiator end).
Refer to leveling procedure that follows.
When lowering machine, lower using front and rear jacks together, keeping jack pads close to the ground.
When tracks are on the ground and machine is stable, jacks may be raised fully. Refer to leveling procedure
on following page. The drill is equipped with jack retract indication on the drill monitor.
Leveling Procedure
When leveling or “setting up” the drill, there are two things to remember:
Good leveling techniques require an understanding of the jack design of the machine and how they
operate. There are four jacks. The two rear jacks (drill end) are independently controlled; that is, there is a
controller for each one. The front jacks operate in parallel, both operate from one controller.
The operator will need to use the front jack function as the last step in the jacking procedure to ensure
the torsional stress in the chassis is minimized as the pressure is equalized in the front jacks.
In Ideal situations, lower the rear jacks to the ground and level side to side, then lower the front jacks
to level front to back.
ALWAYS keep the machine as low to the ground as possible when leveling the ma-
chine. This machine has safety check valves in the leveling system to prevent the
jacks from moving in the case of a power failure. Should it be noticed that the jacks
are creeping, the machine should not be operated and repairs completed immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal injury or equipment
damage.
The machine must then be leveled from the lowest point f rst; and quite often the need to use two control-
lers at the same time will be necessary to evenly distribute the weight of the machine on the jacks as the
machine is being raised. This is to prevent the jack casing binding up from friction created from the twist in
the chassis, and leaving the highest point jack until last allowing the machine to be supported by all jacks
and still be as close as possible to the ground.
Use all three controllers together to raise the jacks; this will allow the machine to stabilize as it comes
in contact with the ground. Hold each controller ON until the relevant jack is fully retracted.
Re-Leveling Machine
If machine needs to be re-leveled after it is already on all four jacks:
• FIRST level rear (cab end) of machine.
• ALWAYS extend front (radiator end) jacks to equalize pressure in both front jacks
after re-leveling machine.
If machine has been leveled and is up on all four jacks and the machine needs to be re-leveled, use the
following procedure:
1. Level the rear (cab end) of the machine f rst using rear jack levers.
2. Level the front (radiator end) of the machine using front jacks lever even if it appears level. This
must be done to equalize the hydraulic pressure to the front jacks.
LOOK UP before raising or lowering mast. Operating near, or coming in contact with
electrical power lines will result in serious personal injury or death.
Refer to the Clearances from High Voltage Lines chart below.
ALWAYS check that the deck area is clear of dirt and obstructions before raising the
mast.
ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling. Make sure
tracks are always raised from the ground.
1. Level the machine, using the Leveling Machine procedure previously outlined.
2. Check mast for loose drilling tools or parts.
3. Be sure mast lock pins are retracted and drill bit will clear work deck area.
4. Look up before raising mast. Be sure you are clear of any overhead obstructions and clear of any
power lines. Raise mast by engaging the mast lever to the RAISE position. The mast should start
to lift; if not, check the auxiliary hydraulic pressure gauge to see if any other functions are engaged.
5. As the mast approaches the vertical position, the mast raising speed will tend to increase. It is nec-
essary to slow the speed to stop the mast from hitting into the base of the machine too hard.
6. The mast angle may be set from 60o to the vertical depending on drilling applications. Use the
angle indicator on the mast to set the correct angles.
7. Once the mast has been set at the desired angle, lock the mast into position by switching the Mast
Lock/Unlock switch to the LOCK position.
NOTE Be sure to visually check to see that mast locking pins are fully engaged in the holes
in the mast lock brackets before drilling. Also be sure that the pins are fully retracted
before lowering the mast. Red or green LED indicators should also conf rm the visual
check, when equipped.
LOOK UP before raising or lowering mast. Operating near, or coming in contact with
electrical power lines will result in serious personal injury or death.
Refer to the Clearances from High Voltage Lines chart on previous page.
ALWAYS check that the deck area is clear of dirt and obstructions before raising the
mast.
ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling. Make sure
machine is supported by all four jacks.
1. Retract the drill string from the hole, ensuring that the drill bit will clear the work deck area.
NOTE If the drill pipe and drill bit are not above the Pipe in Hole Sensor, it will automatically
lock-out the mast and jack lever functions.
Ensure that the drill pipe to be loaded is the correct diameter and length to suit the car-
ousel to be loaded.
Load drill pipe using a crane whenever possible; this is the best and safest method. If
a crane is not available when drill pipe is being loaded, follow the procedure outlined
below.
Equipment Required
1. Service truck with service winch capable of lifting male end of pipe above the drilling platform of the
machine, front end loader or auxiliary crane mounted on rear deck of machine.
2. Adequate lifting straps.
Procedure
Before commencing this operation, ensure that the drill pipe is secured to the rotary
head and that the rotary head is in a secure stationary position.
THE DRILL PIPE MUST NOT BE ROTATING WHEN ANYONE IS ON THE DECK AND PER-
FORMING BIT CHANGING PROCEDURES. INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.
Before drilling can commence, drill bit sub and the drill bit must be installed as follows:
1. Remove the rotary deck bushing from the work deck and insert the drill bit breakout basket into the
work deck.
2. Place the drill bit into the bit basket.
3. Place the bit sub onto the drill bit and make-up thread joint "hand" tight.
4. Engage the drill pipe to the bit sub and rotate drill pipe clockwise slowly until the thread joint be-
comes tight. Tighten thread joint to 3000 PSI (207 bar) on the rotary hydraulic pressure gauge.
5. For removal of drill bit, place bit breakout basket into the work deck.
6. Lower drill bit into the breakout basket and use the breakout wrench to break the thread joint.
7. Once thread joint is loose, simultaneously rotate drill pipe counterclockwise and slowly raise drill
pipe until the drill bit is unscrewed.
Shock Sub
If a shock (cushion) sub is used, be sure to follow manufacturer's recommended maintenance. Normally
this includes daily greasing (5 to 10 strokes with a hand grease gun).
ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling.
DO NOT operate machine when wind speed is above 75 MPH (120.8 Km/h).
Rotary Drilling
IMPORTANT: Become familiar with all the controls and their functions prior to any operation. Take it
slow at f rst and as the machine and drilling cycle become more familiar, the full operating capability of
the machine can be gradually achieved. The most important reason to operate slowly at f rst is safety.
Operating at full speed means that things happen very quickly. This unexpected operation of equipment
can very easily lead to an accident.
Once the drill pipe, bit sub, and drill bit have been coupled up, drilling operations are ready to commence.
The machine MUST be level and supported by all four jacks before mast is raised.
1. Lower the drill bit until it comes in contact with the ground.
2. Zero the Actual Depth and log the hole number on the drill monitor.
3. Turn on the drilling air by engaging the Drilling Air Control Switch to the ON position. Note the air
pressure registered on the Drilling Air Pressure Gauge on the drill monitor.
4. Start rotating the drill string forward "slowly" 30–40 RPM using Rotation Lever. Forward rotation is
clockwise.
5. Slowly lower the drill string using Hoist/Pulldown Lever until the hole is collared and the drill bit is
in solid ground. Collaring of the hole should be done slowly and carefully to ensure that the hole is
started straight. This will help avoid problems as the drill hole gets deeper.
6. Once the hole is collared, start increasing the pulldown pressure and rotation speed until a satisfac-
tory rate of penetration is achieved. Pulldown pressure and rotation speed will be dictated by the
type of ground being drilled. Then engage the Auto Pulldown Switch by pushing the switch to the
engage position, Refer to Section 6–Drilling Practices for more information.
NOTE Applying excessive weight or using too fast of rotation speed will result in premature
wear to all consumables.
7. Pulldown pressure and rotation speed must be continuously adjusted to suit the drilling conditions.
Monitor the rotation pressure and air pressure gauges for abnormal readings.
NOTE If the drilling air pressure rises higher than normal or the rotation pressure is higher
than normal, disengage the pulldown and lift the drill bit off the bottom of the hole
and allow the hole to clear, if necessary work the drill string up and down to assist in
cleaning the hole. Decrease the amount of pulldown if the drill bit or hole continues
to block up.
8. Switch on either the dust collector or water injection system. Engage Water Injection/Dust Collector
Switch–RIGHT for dust collector, LEFT for water injection. Adjust water f ow for water injection with
Flow Control Valve.
NOTE If depths of more than one drill pipe are required, follow the operating procedures for
multiple pass drilling.
11. Lift pipe clear of pot and align pipe tooling to allow pipe to be removed from carousel. Retract pipe
loader to parked position.
12. Lower pipe slowly until light contact is made with bottom pipe thread. Forward rotate slowly to
make up joint.
13. Reverse rotate to align tooling and retract deck wrench from pipe.
14. Turn drilling air on and re-commence drilling activity.
DO NOT allow drill pipe to drop in deep holes, thread damage will occur.
DO NOT tighten threads or attempt to breakout with the carousel in Index position,
ensure the carousel locking pin is engaged.
NEVER leave the machine unattended with drill pipe in the hole. Failure to follow these
procedures could result in damaged equipment.
1. Once the desired hole depth is reached, disengage the pull-down system and raise the rotary head
until the drill pipe thread joint is above the deck wrench.
2. Align the tooling on the lower drill pipe with the deck wrench, the top of the tooling should be ap-
proximately 2 inches above the deck wrench. Engage the deck wrench.
3. Turn off drilling air.
4. Using rotation control lever in reverse, allow the rotation pressure to increase until the drill pipe joint
breaks. A light slapping action is used to break the joint.
5. If the joint breaks at the top, re-tighten and use the HOBO to break the joint.
6. Unthread and align tooling f ats with carousel breakout plate.
7. Raise pipe to a position to enable pipe to clear carousel pot and breakout plate.
8. Swing pipe loader to load position.
9. Lower pipe into carousel then raise enough to un-thread pipe without binding. Reverse rotate and
unthread top thread.
10. Raise rotary head above head clear position.
11. Retract pipe loader to parked position.
12. Lower rotary head until light contact is made with lower thread. Forward rotate to tighten thread.
13. Reverse rotate to align tooling and retract deck wrench, (leave wrench covering deck bush).
14. Turn on drilling air and raise pipe to next joint or top of hole.
If the upper thread joint becomes loose before the lower joint, retighten the upper joint
and use the breakout wrench to loosen the lower joint.
DO NOT allow the upper drill pipe joint to unscrew unless positioned in the carousel.
ALWAYS make sure that all drill pipes have been removed from the hole before
attempting to lower the mast.
Description
For machines operating in arctic type conditions an optional cold weather package can be installed to
pre-heat f uids and lubricants. With the cold weather option, the machine can operate down to temperatures
of -40oF (-40oC).
The cold weather option includes the appropriate lubricants in the compressor, engine, hydraulic sys-
tem and gearboxes. See the Recommended Cold Weather Lubricants on the following page for lubricant
recommendations.
An optional diesel f red heater/pump unit, using fuel from the machine's diesel tank, circulates a wa-
ter/anti-freeze mixture through heat exchanger tubes located in the hydraulic tank, fuel tank, water tank,
radiator and engine block.
The heating system can also be powered by a generator (GenSet) mounted on the machine, or an external
power source, to provide 120 or 240 VAC to the system to thermostatically control heating elements and
silicone heating pads. A heater/controller supplies power to a distribution breaker box and pumps heated
water/anti-freeze through the engine block.
The heating elements for this type of system are installed in the hydraulic tank, fuel tank and engine while
the heating pads are installed in the compressor control box, receiver tank, auto lube grease container and
under the batteries in the battery tray.
There are no additional f uid additives required for cold weather operation.
NOTE When cold weather operation is specif ed, the options discussed above may be used
separately or in combination to suit a specif c operating environment.

Note: These recommendations are based on each systems component manufacturer's recommen-
dations, requirements and/or manufacturer's requirements for maximum and minimum oil viscosity
values during start-up and continuous operation.
Operation
The pre-heat system is energized prior to starting the machine in temperatures less than 32oF. (0oC)
by a switch located on the front of the operator console. Warm up periods are in relation to outside tem-
peratures, but normally suff cient warm up can be accomplished in approximately one hour prior to starting
machine.
If the machine is supplied by a GenSet, the GenSet is switched on to provide power for preheating. After
the GenSet warms up to operating temperature, the heater/controller is switched on and the Operator can
then select which system is to be energized via the distribution breaker box. Refer to the GenSet operating
manual in Section 10 of the Service Manual for operation and maintenance.
If the heater/controller is supplied power from an external source, the Operator plugs in the system and
then switches on the heater/controller.
ON/OFF Switch
Pump Heater
Maintenance
BE SURE there are no fuel leaks near the burner unit.
DISCONNECT BATTERY or unplug cable to heater controller before doing any welding
on machine. Damage to controller unit will result.
Allow time for burner unit to cool before doing any repair work.
Refer to the Espar repair manual for the Hydronic 30 compact heater in Section 10 of the Service Manual.
Order repair parts from Parts Manual for your specif c machine.
In the late fall, before temperatures drop below 32oF. (0oC), the complete cooling system should be
drained and f ushed. The thermostat should be removed during f ushing. Check for proper operation or
replace before reinstalling. When ref lling, add a suff cient amount of anti-freeze for your climate. A 50/50
mixture is recommended for maximum protection
To blow water out of the lines and pump before shutting machine down, the following steps need to be
done with the machine in idle mode.
1. Turn the optional handle on the cab side crawler frame to open ball valve to drain water tank. After
water tank is drained, leave ball valve on bottom of water tank open until time to add water to tank,
then close valve.
2. After water tank is drained, open shut off valve on top of air receiver to release air into water
system. With the water injection switch in the cab in OFF position, this will blow water through the
pump and back to the tank. After 5 seconds, switch the water injection switch to ON. This will blow
water into the main air line.
3. Turn main air ON to blow water out of standpipe and drill pipe. Let run for about 15 seconds. At this
time all water is out of lines and pump.
4. Shut machine down. While the machine's air receiver is in blowdown mode, leave shut off valve on
top of air receiver open to blow into water injection system.
5. After air receiver has blown down, close shut off valve on top of air receiver to close line.
6. Before starting machine, prime the water pump by pouring water into the pipe nipple on suction
side of pump inlet.
Receiver Tank
Drain water from the receiver tank daily or whenever the machine is shut down for more than one
hour.
NOTE BE SURE to evacuate all the remaining water from the water injection pump to pre-
vent the pump from freezing.
Drilling Practices
Nozzles
Orif ces in the bit used to control air f ow and pres-
sure.
Penetration Rate
The speed at which the drill bit is cutting.
Many variations in formation characteristics can affect the weight on bit and rotary speed requirements.
Field experience is the best guideline for determining the appropriate weight on bit and rotation speed
combination for a particular drilling operation. However, bit force and rotation speeds must be kept within
the safe and economic limits of the drill rig and drill string.
When calculating the pulldown force on the drill bit, the weights of the rotary head and drill string must be
included into the calculation, because when more drill pipes are added, the weight on the bit will increase
and in some cases it may be necessary to reduce the hydraulic pulldown force being supplied to avoid
blocking or damaging the drill bit.
Drill bit manufacturers suggest that a pulldown force of 3500–7000 pounds per inch of drill bit diameter
can be exerted to the drill bit in the right drilling conditions, however this is only a guideline and ground
conditions will dictate how much weight can be applied.
The Rotary Blasthole Drills utilize hydraulic pressure to exert pulldown force on the drill bit; this pres-
sure is indicated on the pulldown system pressure gauge. However, the pressure readings on this gauge
indicate hydraulic pressure only and must be converted into actual Weight on Bit (pounds force) per square
inch of drill bit diameter.
Do not compare or use the same hydraulic pressure settings when using different drill rigs as the weight
or hydraulic pressure may vary. In most cases the hydraulic pressures on varying drill rigs will indicate
different weights on the drill bit.
Laboratory experiments have shown that uniform rock formations, when drilled with rotary drill bits react
as follows:
1. Penetration rate is at least directly proportional to the weight on bit.
2. Penetration rate is directly proportional to the rotary speed.
In principal, the faster that we could rotate and the more weight we put on the drill bit, the higher the rate
of penetration. Although in actual drilling practices it is important to note that the many variations in forma-
tion characteristics, drill bit condition and chip removal affect the rate of penetration, therefore statements
1 and 2 must only serve as a guideline.
In soft, easily drilled formations, the use of high pulldown pressures are restricted due to the drill bit's
tendency to "Ball Up" thereby reducing its eff ciency. However, it is usually possible to offset the reduction
in pulldown force by increasing the rotary speed. The danger of bit damage is reduced in low strength
formations.
The extent to which the rotary speed can be increased is limited by the presence of abrasive properties
and the ability to clear the cuttings immediately from the bit face, which would prematurely erode the cutting
structure or bit bearings under excessive rotary speeds.
In hard formations, it is necessary to use higher pulldown pressures to overcome the compressive
strength of the rock formation. The operation of tri-cone roller bits in hard rock is complicated by the sliding
and skipping of the bit cutters as the rock breaks away unevenly. Failure to get complete clearing of the
drill cuttings becomes a larger problem when high rotation speeds are used. The use of excessive rota-
tion speeds can cause increased abrasive wear and create shock loads too great for the drill bit, pipe and
drill rig. Therefore, there may be little advantage in increasing rotary speeds above recommended levels.
Smooth vibration free drilling produces holes most eff ciently and possible gains from high rotation speeds
may need to be sacrif ced to get a constant rate of penetration and economical bit life.
The two main bit types available for rotary blast hole drilling are:
1. Drag or Blade Bits
2. Tri-Cone Roller Bits
Drill bits must make chips or cuttings and combined with air pressure and volume contribute to the
clearing of the drilled cuttings.
Drag Bits
Drag bits are used in soft formations like clay, shale, and soft overburden materials. These bits make
maximum use of rotary torque for chip making.
Drag bits generally have 3 or 4 cutting wings which are tipped with tungsten carbide inserts to resist
heat during drilling.
Roller bits consist of a bit body with three cones equipped with steel teeth or tungsten carbide buttons.
The teeth or buttons are distributed over the three roller cones in such a manner that the entire bottom of
the hole is worked when the bit is rotated.
General characteristics for soft formation bits are that the bits have larger, more widely spaced teeth
or buttons and differing cone centering geometry, while hard formation bits have smaller tungsten carbide
inserts for cutting teeth which are closely spaced to reduce torque and the size of chips in hard material.
Tri-cone bits are f tted with air tubes and nozzles which allow air to pass through the bit. The air tubes
are designed to allow air to pass through the bit. The air tubes are designed to allow air to f ow through to
the bit bearings; the air then aids in cooling and cleaning the bearings.
The bit nozzles allow the main volume of air to f ow through the bit for cleaning the cuttings from the
hole. These nozzles are designed so that different sized orif ces can be installed for different drilling condi-
tions.
To make sure air gets down to the bearing air tubes, ensure a certain amount of working air pressure
at the bit face. Change this pressure by changing the size of the nozzles, which might be needed if the
drilling conditions get softer. The orif ce size would probably need to be increased to allow more air to pass
through the bit for better hole cleaning.
All tungsten carbide bit designs incorporated the use of compacts in the gauge surface or the cones, and
varying combinations of compacts and hard facing on the gauge surface of the bit leg to provide increased
resistance to abrasive wear.
When the formation is relatively uniform, these bits characteristically drill at a constant penetration rate
throughout their life.
Suff cient weight must be applied to the bit to produce an effective chipping-crushing action of the forma-
tion. However, you should be aware that weights in excess of "suff cient" are not necessarily economical,
as they may result in breakage of the compacts as well as reducing the life of the bearings.
Normally the weights used on tri-cone roller bits range from 3,500 to 7,000 pounds per inch of bit diam-
eter with rotary speeds varying from 100 to 500 revolutions per minute.
Drill Pipe
Drill pipe is used as a modem to transfer rotation to the drill bit and to convey air to clean the cuttings
from the hole.
Blast hole drill pipe is selected to suit the diameter of the hole being drilled, the pulldown and hoisting
capacity of the machine, and up-hole velocity requirements to clean the hole.
Standard drill pipe is designed to be run in tension. Drill pipe run in tension is held relatively straight,
bending and wear are therefore kept to a minimum. However, blast hole rigs apply pressure to the bit through
the pull-down system on the machine.
Since blasthole drill pipe is run in compression it must be made from heavy wall tubing to resist forces
which not only may be high, but are also changing rapidly. The pipe must continue to do this in spite of abra-
sive wear and continual bending stresses. Drilling operations often place great stresses on the drill string,
therefore the drill pipe must be manufactured to the highest degree to achieve the ultimate service life.
Periodic inspections should be made of the condition of your drill pipe and should include the following
items:
1. Outside diameter measurement of pipe.
2. Welded joints for cracks or excess wear.
3. Threads for excessive wear or galling.
4. Pipe for bends or eccentric joints.
The tool joints are designed with long tangs that are internally tapered, which enables them to be forced
or shrink f tted to the tubing and then welded. Wrench slots or f ats are milled to suit the break-out require-
ments of the drill.
Thread Grease
Precision machined threads and shoulders must be protected from damage. Threads are subjected to
a lot of abuse, therefore it is imperative that they are inspected and greased regularly. Prior to each use,
clean and visually inspect each pin and box for thread and shoulder damage. Check carefully for galls,
burrs, scratches and particularly for cracks. Clean or repair if necessary. Use a zinc, lead or copper based
lubricant that is recommended for rotary connections and apply thoroughly to all thread and shoulder sur-
faces. Ensure grease is clean and free of dust and debris.
Substitutes
Substitutes (subs) or adapters are used where threads of one size or type must be coupled with threads
of another size or type. They are also used at points of heat wear to provide readily replaceable threads.
Changes in drill pipe diameter must occur gradually. Subs should be gently tapered.
Pipe Threads
There are many different types of threads available for drill pipe connections, most of which are not
acceptable for blast hole drilling because of their vulnerability to damage from excessive forces to the drill
string in blast hole drilling.
With the increase in demand for eff cient, economical blast hole drilling, it was observed that several
factors caused greater thread wear on blast hole drills.
1. The drilling of multiple pass holes demands frequent pipe changes. This increased frequency
greatly contributes to thread wear.
2. The coupling of the rotary head to a drill pipe in the pipe loader often occurs at an elevation high
in the mast, affording very poor visibility to the Operator. This operation is often done by feel and
cross threading is not an uncommon result.
3. Thread loading during joint make-up should be instrument controlled. The rotary head used on
blast hole drills can generate very high torque and the skills of the Operator usually determines the
actual magnitude of the axial forces used. A careless Operator can destroy the threads if care is not
exercised.
4. All drill pipe that operates in compression has the tendency to bend and rub on the walls of the
hole. These bending forces also act on the threads which increases the possibility of cracks,
breaks and tool joint failures.
BECO Threads
The primary feature of the BECO thread series is that 2 threads per inch pitch is utilized. This coarser
thread survives much better under adverse conditions. The coarse threads are stronger, less susceptible
to damage, more tolerant to wear and easier to loosen from a tight condition. Since the incorporation of
the BECO thread system in the early 1960's, the thread has become an unoff cial world wide standard for
drill pipe used in rotary blast hole drilling operations.

Drill bit stabilizers are used to reduce possible hole def ection and to ensure that the drill bit runs concentri-
cally (evenly in the center of the hole) about its axis and thereby optimizes bit life and penetration rates.
There are two main types of stabilizers available, blade and roller. Blade stabilizers have f xed wings
that have been either hard faced or mounted with tungsten carbide inserts. Roller stabilizers are mounted
with replaceable rollers which are built up with a special tungsten carbide weld and held in place by long
lasting non grease bearings.
Compressed air is the most common method used with blast hole drills for clearing chips from the hole.
The advantages of drilling blast holes with compressed air are fast chip removal, and that holes are nor-
mally left dry.
In some circumstances a controlled amount of water or foam can be injected into the air stream to aid
chip removal, enhance hole stability and control dust problems.
Chips not cleared immediately will be broken into smaller pieces. Secondary breaking wastes energy
and increases bit wear.
Air Requirements
In rotary blast hole drilling we must always be concerned with delivery of air in suff cient volume and
at the proper pressure to assure optimum bit life when drilling with recommended bit weight and RPM.
Suff cient air volume should be provided to produce an up-hole velocity of 4,000 to 6,000 feet per minute
(1220 to 1830 meters per minute).
The majority of drilling problems originate from errors in judgement or simply from making a bad decision.
Drilling problems generally offer several courses or action to overcome the problem, therefore we must
make a decision to try another method of operation to rectify the problem. Drilling decisions often avert or
accelerate the complex drilling diff culties which we refer to as drilling problems.
EXAMPLE
a. A decision may be made a long time before the problem is evident, like deciding to use inadequate
up hole air velocity. This may lead to slow, ineff cient drilling or stuck drill strings.
b. Or the decision can bring immediate problems, like a decision to increase the pulldown pressure
may result in premature failure of the drill bit.
During drilling operations every action taken may have consequences. Operators must recognize that
their job involves a continuous sequence of making decisions and the quality of these decisions determines
the quality of the Operator's performance.
Many drilling problems are revealed to the Operator by an indicator. This indicator can take almost any
form (e.g. a reduction in the volume of drill cuttings being cleared from the hole.) This may not be a problem
in itself, but it could be an indicator of a problem developing down the hole, therefore if the Operator knows
the indicators, they are then made aware of the pending problem.
1. Recognize the problem. The Operator must be aware of the small problems before they develop
into bigger ones.
2. Analyze the problem. Determine exactly what the problem is, what caused it and what is involved
to rectify the problem.
3. Compare the current problem with others previously encountered to assist in f nding the most likely
solution. Decide on a solution.
Experienced operators make decisions almost automatically, they are immediately aware of the signif -
cance of an indicator. They react spontaneously because their experience tells them the appropriate action
to take. By correctly selecting the desirable action in each situation, the Operator will:

When the key-switch is in the REM position, you can use a programmer/operator interface device to change
the processor mode.
EEPROM
EEPROM
The EEPROM is a backup of the PLC programme.
The PLC has been set up to load from an EEPROM. Loading will occur every time the PLC is powered up
and has the EEPROM installed. This has been done to facilitate minor updates via changing the EEPROM.
When the PLC is turned on (powered up) it will “look” to see if the EEPROM is installed in the Processor
Card. If it is detected, it will then load the programme from the EEPROM into the Processor Card. If it is not
detected it will just use the current programme already in the Processor Card.
The EEPROM should never be left in the Processor Card as it will overwrite stored values every time the
PLC is turned off and on. E.g. battery isolator turned off for lunch break, during shifts, maintenance work.
This means that the EEPROM should be removed immediately from the card (and kept in a safe location as
a backup) after initial loading to prevent a reload and loss of information every time the drill is started.

Vigilante System
Laser Depth System (see also page 8-37)
General Info
A laser is used to indicate depth on the Drill PLC System. This introduces a reliable method of detecting
depth without contact and avoids the use of unreliable encoders and pull wire devices.
The Laser is “only powered up” when the engine is running and the mast is raised.
The added optional functionality incorporated into the Drill PLC Depth system is....
* Pipe in hole detection
* Head clear indication
* Auto retracting of the Pipe Positioner, Centre guide, Hobo
* Prevent the Pipe Rack from swinging into the Head
Calibration
* Measure the full length of head travel.
* Enter the password protected Calibration area 1295 for a full calibration set up or 1057 for a partial
calibration setup (as for tightening ropes) on the touch screen.
* Type in the value on the keypad in millimetres.
* Set head right up position. Press touch screen button to accept value.
* Set head right down position. Press touch screen button to accept value.
* Set head halfway down (midpoint of the rods that are in the rod rack). Press touch screen button to
accept value.
* Attached bit onto head and move head to position where deck wrench can be engaged and then set
deck wrench position. Press touch screen button to accept value.
* Break bit off head and move head to position where pipe rack can be swung under head and set head
clear position. Press touch screen button to accept value.
* With f rst pipe and bit attached to head. Lower steel approx. 100mm below where deck wrench can be
engaged and set pipe-in-hole position. Press touch screen button to accept value.
* Move the head to a position that allows the Pipe Positioner, Centre guide, Hobo enough time to move
out of the way with the head coming down and set the “Kick-out” set point if f tted. Press touch screen
button to accept value.
* Move the head up and set the “Head up speed slow down” set point so the head will slow down before
the hydraulic cylinder “bottoms out.” Press touch screen button to accept value.
* Record the new set-point values and forward them to Reedrill for f le updating.
Calibration of the depth system is now complete.

Tram Protection
The Pipe in Hole is deemed to be clear to Tram only after ALL THREE above conditions are met OR the
Override function is operated on the Touchscreen.
The operation of the Tram Override function (on the Tram Screen) is logged on the screen and memory.
The Tram Override function will self reset when the operator switches back to drill mode for the next hole or
whenever the drill is f rst started.
Distance Meter
Setting Up
Magnetic Proximity switch is located on the crawler and senses a ring of f ags attached to the track drive.
The distance between each f ag count is approx. 112mm (This may vary slightly on each drill. The actual
calibrated f gure can be obtained from the commissioning sheet)
The tram direction pressure switch is used to detect a change in direction (Switch must be set to be ON
when tram is just moving in one direction only).
It is critical that all f ags are being sensed by the proximity switch when the drill is tramming. If the proximity
is too far away from the f ag ring, random sensing will occur, resulting in an incorrect and unrepeatable
distance measurement. Initially random sensing can be seen as too many counts being registered and
distance displayed incorrect, indicating the proximity switch is ‘f ickering’ on-off over each f ag. Adjustment
may be needed to the Proximity, (adjusting it closer to the f ag ring increases detection reliability).
Do not adjust the proximity any closer than 3mm.
Options and Accessories 7-9
Vigilante System
A red led on the rear of the proximity operates to indicate the sensing of the f ag.
Incorrect adjustment of the Tram Pressure switch will also cause unreliable distance measurement. If the
switching is set to operate too late or system pressure is slow to build then a number of f ags can be missed
resulting in an incorrect distance reading.
Errors associated with the distance meter will always be due to faulty or incorrectly adjusted f eld devices.
NOTE: All “OVERRIDE” operations and buttons are operated with the full understanding and
acceptance of the system or operation to be overridden.
Overriding any system has the potential for component or machine damage, this procedure
must be done only after fault evaluation and with due care.
