COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS

ECM 660IV DRILL Description

The ECM 660IV is a track mounted, deck engine powered drill, designed primarily for
construction and quarry applications.
The standard ECM 660IV uses a diesel engine coupled directly to a hydraulic pump on one
end. The air compressor is directly connected to the other end of the engine. The power pack
is mounted on the main frame which in turn is mounted to the track frame.
The hydraulic system that consisted of pilot controlled Modular Valves does not require
complicated electronic controls, plus the hydraulic system requires a reduced fuel
consumption.
The drill’s boom has a maximum horizontal swing of 55º right and 10º left and a maximum
vertical movement of 55º up and 20º down. The boom’s drifter travel is 13 ft.11 in. (4250 mm).
All functions are controlled from inside the cabin.
Drilling is easier using two arm-mounted hydraulic pilot joystick controls. Full-flow hydraulics
for boom and guide positioning provide smooth, responsive movements for quicker setup
between holes. Productivity-enhancing features include one-position synchronization and
single lever, single movement rod changer for quick handling of drill steel.
The tramming control is using one lever hydraulic pilot joystick control and contains a full
compliment of gauges which can be read in US and Metric.

Form No. 5142 1-13

 Instruction Manual: ECM 660IV SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

To permit optimum performance on a wide range of applications and site requirements, this
ECM 660IV Drill is equipped with:

• 350 CFM Rotary Screw GHH-Rand air compressor

• Cummins QSC 8.3C Tier III Series diesel engine
• Montabert HC158R drifter with Reverse percussion
• Montabert Auto Drilling System (PAJ)
• Automatic rod changer
• Segmented and uniformed Hydraulic hoses
• Right hand side toe hole
• Cold weather features
• Extendible boom
• ROP’S & FOP’S cab with air conditioner

Engine
The ECM 660IV Drill uses a water cooled engine with direct injection and turbo chargers.
Electric starting and belt driven alternator battery charging is standard on all ECM 660IV
models. The ECM 660IV Drill is equipped with dual system air filtration. Dry type 2-stage air
cleaners provide clean air to the engine and the compressor. The engine power / rpm is
controlled by the engine speed control. The engine is shutdown either by the removable key
“ON/OFF” switch or the emergency stop switch.

Drill Frame
The ECM 660IV Drill is based a Drill Frame which supports the power pack assembly (engine/
compressor/hydraulic pump drive) transported on a dual oscillation track system. The frame is
more than sufficient to resist flexing as the drill is moved over rough terrain while anchoring a
drill boom as it drills at a variety of angles making this drill one of the most diversified on the
market.

Drill Boom and Guide

The Drill Boom and Guide features a hydraulically driven drifter and a hydraulic drill feed
systems. The feed system consists of fully staked chains which are controlled with separate
fast and slow feed controls that can be adjusted to suit rock conditions and operator
preference. An experienced driller will use this feature to extend the life of drilling accessories.
The auto drilling system installed on machine also matches percussion power and feed to the
rock to optimize penetration rate and accessory life, as well as ensures high-quality straight
holes as well as an experienced driller’s operation.
The Drill Boom and Guide assembly also contains the automatic rod changer allowing quick
and easy rod changes, increasing drilling productivity. The hydraulic drifter moves easily up
and down using a managed hose arrangement that reduces cost and makes maintenance
easy.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION Instruction Manual: ECM 660IV

Controls
All drilling functions are controlled from inside the cabin of the ECM 660IV Drill.
The operators cabin is designed for operator comfort and utilizes excavator type controls with
the drilling and drill controls mounted in the armrests of the seat.
The drill tram control mounted in the side operate box with a hydraulic pilot joystick control.
All controls are designed for convenience, ease of control, comfort and safety while providing
maximum visibility of the work area. Full details of all controls are provided in later chapters.

Serviceability
The engine, compressor and hydraulic pump drive are accessible from either side of the drill.
All daily checkpoints are positioned to encourage preventive maintenance. In addition, the
pilot operated hydraulic controls increase reliability and simplify troubleshooting. Segmented
and uniform hydraulic hoses are intelligently routed to increase life and reduce costly
downtime.

! DANGER
Your life may be in danger if the following is not complied with: DO NOT
add attachments to the drill that intrude into operator’s protective area,
reduce visibility, restrict emergency exits or add weight exceeding
certification weight. See the operator’s manual or contact your dealer for
complete inspection requirements and maintenance instructions.

PRE–OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)

CHECK FOR OVERHEAD UTILITY LINES

Electrocution possible. Serious injury or death may

result if the machine strikes an energized power
line. Take the following precautions to prevent
electrocution:

_ Always contact your local utility company when

working in the vicinity of utilities.

_ Locate overhead utilities.

_ Do not raise, lower, or move drill guide or boom

near power lines.

_ Always wear proper electrically insulated line-

man’s gloves and boots.

_ Never touch metal parts on machine while stand-

ing on bare ground if machine comes in contact
with a power line.

_ Always stay in cab during all drilling operations.

_ Never step onto or off of a machine if an electric

strike occurs.

CHECK FOR UNDERGROUND UTILITY LINES

Before starting work, remember that contact with

buried utilities may cause serious injury or death.
Electric line contact may cause electric shock or
electrocution. Gas line contact may rupture pipe
causing explosion or fire. Fiber optic cables can
blind you if you look into the laser light in them.
Water line rupture may cause a flood and possible
ground collapse. Before drilling, check with quali-
fied sources to properly locate all buried utilities in
and around drill path. Select a drill path that will not
intersect buried utilities. Never launch a drill bit on
a path toward electric, gas, or water lines. Until
their location is known, have the utility company
shut it off before starting any underground work.
Excavate to confirm its exact location.

Instruction Manual: ECM 660IV SECTION 6- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If you contact an electrical line:

STEPPING ON OR OFF AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED MACHINE CAN CAUSE

ELECTROCUTION.

Don’t allow anyone to approach the machine or any equipment connected to the
machine if a contact occurs. The machine and ground will become electrically charged.

When an electrical contact occurs, the ground surface near the machine will become
electrically charged. Large voltage differences may exist on the ground surface. If you
stand or walk in these electrically charged areas, a potentially strong current may pass
through you if the surface voltages at your feet are different. All personnel must be kept
away from the work area, and any equipment connected to the machine. An electrical
strike may also be indicated by electrical arcing, explosion, smoke, or popping where
the contact occurs.

If you are seated with both feet on the machine:

1. Do not get off the machine. The machine may be highly charged and cause injury or
death if you make contact with the machine and the ground while stepping off.

2. Retract the drill to the end of the stroke in an attempt to break contact with the electri-
cal power line.

3. Have someone who is clear of the work area contact the utility company to shut off
the electrical power.

IF THE POWER HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY SHUT OFF, AN AUTOMATICALLY

RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKER COULD REENERGIZE THE POWER LINE,
CAUSING THE EQUIPMENT AND GROUND TO AGAIN BECOME CHARGED IF
THE MACHINE IS CLOSE TO OR IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE.
DO NOT CONTINUE DRILLING UNTIL THE UTILITY COMPANY HAS DECLARED
THE AREA SAFE TO RESUME THE OPERATION.

DUST CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION

SYSTEM OPERATION

Before Drilling:

1. Check the dust hood seal to the pickup hood is correctly sealing around the drill steel.
Change the dust hood seal if damaged.

2. Check that the pick up hood and suction hoses are free from blockages.

3. Check that the suction hose has no sharp bends or has been crushed and that it can be
supported in the correct way.

Operation

To use the Dust Control System during any drilling operation, move the Air and Dust
Collector Selection Control (located on left hand seat pod) to the “on” position.
The dust control system will activate and collect dirt and dust automatically. The dust
control system will activate a self cleaning system and empty the dirt and dust out of the
dust collector to the ground.

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 noticed 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.

SERVICE

If you are considering servicing the machine without the assistance of an Atlas Copco
SDE Dealer, remember this is a complex machine which often involves
complex service procedures. There are also many components which are not user
serviceable. Do not attempt any service which you do not fully understand, nor any service
that you cannot do accurately and safely with proper tools and equipment. If you encoun-
ter a problem that you do not understand or cannot solve, contact your Atlas Copco SDE
dealer.

ROUTINE SERVICE CHECKS

The operator will perform the following routine service checks on the machine at the
beginning of each day, his/her shift, or before any drilling operation. As described in the
following paragraphs, the operator will perform these tasks to keep the machine in a good
operating condition. The following paragraphs will explain what the operator is to check
and the proper fluids to be added.

Lubricator Oil Level

Every five hours of operation check the lubricator oil level. The oil level of the lubricator
should be 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from the top of the glass bowl. When checking or adding,
shutdown the machine and bleed the air pressure. To add rock drill oil to the lubricator,
hold the metal guard and glass bowl, squeeze the locking tabs and twist the locking ring to
remove. Fill the glass bowl to 1/2 in (12.7mm) below the top of the bowl. The lubricator
takes approximately 3/4 quart (.7 L) of rock drill oil when empty. Refer to Section 8 for the
proper type of rock drill oil to be used, and for the proper viscosity of rock drill oil to use
during different weather conditions. (Refer to Section 8 for the proper viscosity and specifi-
cations to use during different weather conditions.)

Feed Pressure Adjustment

This machine is equipped with remote controlled feed pressure adjusting system which
adjusts the feed force according to the drilling conditions (hardness of the rock or ground
stratum).

The appropriate feed force will vary depending on the ease of penetration of the rock by
the particular combination of drifter model and type of drill bit used. When drilling softer or
broken ground, the feed hydraulic pressure required will be less than for drilling solid or
harder ground. The rate of feed will tend to increase under these softer /broken ground
conditions.
Feed Pressure Control

Feed Puressure gauge

When actually drilling the feed force can be adjusted by adjusting the feed pressure control
valve based on the pressures indicated below.

. Vertical hole (downward) drilling........ 60-70 kg/cm2 (6 - 7 MPa.).

. Horizontal hole drilling....................... 70-80 kg/cm2 (7 - 8 MPa.).

Refer to the forward feed pressure gauge when adjusting the pressure.
