2.7.3. Dust

DANGER
DUST HAZARD!

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or servere

injuries.

Always wear approved respirator when working in a dusty

environment

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injuries. Always work with a
respirator approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job you are doing. It is essential that
the respirator that you use protects you from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and
which may cause other serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are sure
your respirator is working properly. This means the respirator must be checked to make sure that
it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect
you in the way it is meant to.

In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee, the
employer must establish and implement a written respiratory protection program with worksite-
specific procedures and elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper
usage, maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.

Make sure the dust suppression system in your equipment is working properly. If the dust
suppression system is not working properly, stop working immediately.

Regularly clean your working environment properly to minimize the dust level in the air. Always
make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave your shift.

Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The smallest particles of dust
are the most harmful. They may be so fine that you cannot see them. Remember, you must
protect yourself from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.

2.8. Emergency procedures

It is the employer’s responsibility to plan and prepare site specific instructions to be followed in
case of an emergency or an accident. The machine manufacturer can also give certain general
guidelines which can be used as help in establishing the required procedures. The following
information should be considered when devising a site specific emergency plan. This list is not
meant to be comprehensive.
• Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the emergency stop
functions. Emergency stopping stops all the ongoing functions. For more information, see
the section, ”Emergency stop function”.
• Emergency exit: In an emergency situation, use the safest escape way or emergency exit.
Also rescue personnel can use these exits to reach a user in the operator station. For more
information, see the section, ”Emergency exit”.
• Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the safest place for
the user is usually inside operator station, seated on the operator seat and seat belt
fastened.
• Falling objects: In case of falling objects, the operator should stay inside operator station
until it is safe to leave the machine. The operator may also, when possible, move the
machine away from the hazard zone, without leaving the operator station.
• Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an accident does
happen and there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as soon as possible. For more
information, see the section, “Fire risk control measures”.
• Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where chemicals are
involved, see the required first aid measures and instructions in the material safety data
sheets which have been delivered with the machine manuals.
• Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the following instructions
may prevent injuries or death.
- If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the machine or try to
get onto the machine. Keep everybody away from the machine.
- If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. If the machine is touching a power
line, the machine can catch on fire. If the machine has rubber tires, leave the machine
as soon as the tires start smoking. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor for
the electric current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away from the
machine by jumping, or by leaping so that only one foot at a time touches the ground.
The electric field in the ground can cause a dangerously high voltage between your
legs. You will not be in safety until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
- If the boom or some other component of the machine touches an electric power line,
the whole machine becomes live. Although the insulating rubber tires may make the
situation seem safe, a person standing on the ground and touching the machine can get
a fatal electric shock.
- If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do not risk your own
life by acting incautiously to save others. Try to find out whether a high or a low voltage
is involved. Where high voltage is involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the
power company has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a person
in contact with the electric conductor, or with the machine that touches the conductor.
Remember that high voltage power lines have no fuses that blow; the conductors are
always dangerous, until a qualified electrician has made them dead.

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 69 (292)

ID: 7849 5514 en - S-16-02-2021 ER-PM-GP
DL331 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

- If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that is touching a low
voltage line, rescuing can be attempted by using a dry and clean rope, or a dry and
unpainted piece of wood. Anyone who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away
from the victim as possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely
disconnected from the live components. If the victim is unconscious, first aid measures
must be started immediately.

After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an incident has occurred, do
not take any actions with the equipment involved. Do not speculate or give opinions on the
cause. Contact your Sandvik representative to get more information.

2.9. Safety considerations for maintenance

Before carrying out any maintenance read and understand the maintenance instructions. Make
sure that you have skills and authorization needed before starting any maintenance work. The
maintenance instructions support maintenance personnel performing preventive maintenance for
the product. The maintenance instructions also provide information for maintenance and
operating personnel on scheduled mechanical inspections of components and installed
equipment.
Ensure all necessary machinery isolations have been carried out prior to commencing any
maintenance work. Before carrying out any maintenance work ensure that necessary original

2.10. Environment

2.10.1. Decommissioning

The end user of the equipment is responsible for its decommissioning. If the end user does not
have the ability or the resources to disassemble the equipment, the work must be performed by
someone who does possess the necessary knowledge and skills. In disposing of the waste
material from disassembly of the equipment, the following matters should be considered:
• The equipment body, all the steel constructions, and the copper and aluminum in the
electrical wiring are recyclable. The metals can be melted and used as raw material for new
products, except for parts that have been in contact with substances that are regarded as
hazardous waste. The contaminated parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after
which they can be recycled.
• Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each plastic part carries
information on the material used and a manufacturing date, which can be used for
determining whether the part can be recycled.
• Rubber parts are not regarded as hazardous, and they can be disposed of according to
normal procedures. Tubes (hydraulics etc.) must be cleaned before they are disposed of.
Worn-out tires can be returned to the dealer from whom they were originally bought.
• Windshields and other cabin windows are not accepted for conventional glass recycling, but
they can be disposed of via normal waste disposal methods.
• Electrical components that are classified as hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries,
circuit boards) and other hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment
location or be disposed of according to local regulations.
• Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and HCFC compounds, must always be delivered
for treatment to a licensed waste disposal facility. For disposal instructions for fluids and
lubricants, refer to the service manual.

These instructions are not binding, but they offer suggestions for appropriate waste disposal
procedures. Local authorities always have more detailed instructions and recommendations on
the disposal of different materials.

When removing equipment from use, you must always follow the relevant
authorities' regulations on waste disposal that are in force at the time and
location of disassembly.

2.10.2. Dismantling

Where specific procedures are necessary for a safe dismantling of the product, and similarly, for
recycling or disposal of waste material, these shall be specified; these procedures shall be
specified in accordance with the product standard if one exists.

2.10.3. Disposal

Appropriate handling of oil waste

Any oil that is spilled onto the ground, including biodegradable oil, must be collected as carefully
as possible. Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and under no circumstances must oil
be poured down the drain or into water systems. One liter of oil is enough to pollute a million liters
of ground water intended for household consumption.
Used lubrication oil is hazardous waste that must always be processed by an authorized waste
treatment plant. During its use, metal particles and other impurities have entered the oil. These
increase the risks to the user's health.
If the company produces a larger amount of oil waste, it is worth separating. For treatment, oil
waste is divided into three categories:
• Clear oils, which include hydraulic and transmission oils.
• Black oils, which are motor oils. Synthetic and mineral oils are collected in the same
container.
• Vegetable oils, which are collected in a separate container.
• Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not be mixed with oil waste.

Solid waste containing oil

Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil absorbents must be collected in a separate container.

Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids

Used radiator, brake, and clutch fluids contain traces of heavy metals, zinc, and copper, for which
reason they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with oil waste. They are to be collected
in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same plants as the oil waste.

Solvents and oil trap sludge

Solvents and sludge that has collected on the surface of the oil traps are collected in the same
container. The surface layer in the oil traps must be removed regularly, and the entire trap must
be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at the bottom. Do not mix the oil trap sludge
with oil waste.

Fuel oil
Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed by an authorized waste
treatment plant.

Oil waste storage

The best containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils. Naturally, new
containers become available whenever new oil is purchased. They already have the necessary
warning labels, are easy to close, and can be moved around fairly easily. Always strike out the
product name on the label and clearly label the container "oil waste". This ensures that everyone
knows the container contains oil waste. Store the waste in an appropriate manner. A suitable
storage room for hazardous waste has a roof, a leak--proof floor, and preferably a lockable door.
When storing flammable fluids, always ensure that the room has a separate ventilation system or
is otherwise well ventilated. The path to the storage room must be free of obstacles.

Empty oil containers

Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been cleaned. Cleaned
plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste. Most countries have arranged a recycling
system for metal barrels.

WARNING
Operation, maintenance and adjustments are only allowed to persons with
specific training in operation and maintenance of the equipment. Read the
operating and maintenance instructions before using or servicing the
equipment.
Plan your work carefully in advance to avoid possible accidents and injuries.
The operator must be familiar with the functions of the equipment before
taking it into use.

The operator must always wear required personal protection, such as safety
helmet, protective overall, safety boots, hearing protectors, safety goggles
etc...
Always ensure that those protections are in good shape before using them.

Adequate ventilation must always be provided.

Make sure that ventilation is sufficient to prevent exhaust fumes and dust.
Exhaust fumes can be lethal.
When operating in confined conditions the exhaust gases and dust must be
directed in such a way that they do not return to the working area and create
a hazard.
Check regularly the exhaust purifier clogging according to its maintenance
manual.

Always have a fire extinguisher at hand and learn how to use it.
Have the extinguisher inspected and serviced regularly according to the
local regulations and to the extinguisher maintenance manual.

Take care of sufficient lighting.

Insufficient scaling of drilling site.

4.2. Main safety hazards in use or maintenance work

WARNING

MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS IN THE

DANGER AREAS DURING DRILLING OR TRAMMING.
Simultaneous charging and drilling is strictly forbidden.

Always check the efficiency of the safety devices before using the machines:
emergency stop push button, emergency brakes, backward tramming light
and buzzer, tramming and working light, horn, etc...

All hoods must be correctly mounted on the machine and the doors correctly
closed and locked, this all the time in order to prevent accident with moving
components such a engine belt, cable reel chain, etc..

Danger of slipping, tripping or falling.

Keep the ladders, steps, hand rails, handles and working platforms clean of
oil, dirt and ice.

Observe the balance of the rig.

Never exceed the specified inclination angles when parking, tramming or
drilling.

While tramming NEVER SWING THE BOOM, if needed SWING THE FEED.

Before moving the boom make sure that the jacks and the stabilizers are
firmly in contact to the ground.

Crushing hazard : do not stay in dangerous area, for instance: central

articulation between front chassis and rear chassis.

The movements and rotation of components form also danger areas (boom,
feed and drilling equipment).
MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS IN THE
DANGER ZONES.

Danger of hot surface.

Hot surface can cause serious injuries.
Components as diesel engine, exhaust gas purifier, rod, shank or hydraulic
components can be hot and before starting a maintenance work, please let
them cool off.

ID: 7849 5514 en - S-16-02-2021 ER-PM-GP
 DL331 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Maintenance operations should be carried out only when the rig is stopped.
Make sure that there are no unauthorized persons in the working area when
you carry out service and repair work.

Before any maintenance operations, always check that pressure gauges are
at 0 bar and if there is still pressure, make what is necessary to put the
circuits at 0 bar. Check there are no pressure in the accumulators and brake
circuit by pushing on brake pedal and read the brake pressure gauges.
In case of an accidental stop, push on the brake pedal to be able to bleed the
accumulators and brake circuit.
Before any maintenance operation, use padlocks in order to lock in off
position the batteries master switch and the main switch of electric cabinet.

Replace or repair faulty tools and equipments.

The drilling equipment must always be kept clean of oil and dirt.

Do not work under a device or component that is held up only by the

hydraulics. Use separate supports in conjunction with maintenance and
repair.
Make sure that the boom is properly supported before any maintenance
operation on the hydraulic system.
Do not remove boom cylinders or their non-return valves before the boom,
the feed or bolting head, and the rock drill are properly supported.
Danger of high pressure air streams. The air streams can cause serious
personal injuries.
Release the pressure before opening filling caps or pneumatic connections.

The lubricator, the compressor air/oil receiver and any air receiver are
pressure vessels and they are not allowed to be repaired without proper
authorization.
Check regularly the certification validity of those components.
At the end of validity period, you must make re-certify the component by a
registered organization or replace it by a new one.
Danger of high pressure oil jets.
High pressure oil jets can cause serious personal injuries.
Release the pressure in the hydraulic circuits before opening caps or
connections (accumulators, cylinders and hydraulic circuit).

If the component must be live, a fellow worker must be standing by to cut

OFF voltage at the emergency or main switch in an emergency situation.

If you have to weld the rig, disconnect the alternator cables or open the main
switch before starting to weld. Consider also the fire and explosion risk
caused by welding. Make sure that the rig and its surroundings are clean and
fire-safe.

Electric shock with high and dangerous voltage will lead to death or
severe injuries.

Work on electrical equipment or devices is to be performed only by

persons with the expertise and qualifications required by the
authorities, or under the supervision of a person meeting these
requirements.

Failure to strictly follow instructions will lead to severe injuries and/

or death and/or property damage.

Operators are allowed to perform the following tasks on electrical components:

• Plug and unplug the trailing cable into/from the gate end panel
• Switch on and off the main switch on the electrical cabinet of the drill rig
• Plug and unplug the one and three phase outlets for external pumps and devices
• Replace the broken bulbs of the working and driving lights according to given instructions.

All other work on high voltage electrical equipment or components is allowed

only to be carried out by qualified electricians, observing electro technical
regulations (see maintenance manual).

Do not open junctions or terminal boxes on electric motors, cable reel, electrical cabinets, light
fittings, etc...!

Operator’s actions to perform

Check visually the condition of the drill rig's electrical devices every day before operation. Check
the operation of the earth leakage control system from the gate end panel weekly. If the control
does not switch the power off, the control system must be repaired or replaced before any device
connected to it is started.

Always check the operation of the emergency stop switches before use of the machine. Do not
use the machine if an emergency switch does not stop all functions on the machines. Note that
lighting will stay on if an emergency switch is pressed, and the machine is not isolated!

When the electrical cabinet main switch is switched off, always be aware that this does not
normally isolate the electrical supply going into the machine’s electrical cabinet. Hence, the
trailing cable, cable reel and cable going to the live side of the main switch remain live! (This is
the case unless a separate Pilot core electrical system has been adopted at the work site and the
pilot core is wired through the machine’s main switch!).

 DL331 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!

If any faults or defects on electrical components are observed, such as loose
connections, open covers or damaged insulation, stop and isolate the
machine immediately by turning off the main switch and removing the power
plug from the electrical network. Ensure that nobody connects the power on
by accident! The fault can only be investigated by a qualified and competent
electrician. Faults must be repaired and tested before operating the machine.
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to death or serious injuries.

Fuses and the circuit breakers are protecting the wires and electrical components against over
heat and fire in case of overload and short circuit.

Breaker tripping or fuse burn is a sign of failure. Before resetting the breaker or replacing the fuse
the failure must be repaired. The original fuse size and type must be used. Never replace the
fuse with a fuse having higher ampere value than the original.

Replacing the light bulbs

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!

Cut the supply voltage to the light using the main switches before
replacing the bulbs of the working and driving lights. Exercise extreme
caution when performing work on HID gas discharge lamps. The light
components include high voltage parts. Failure to follow these procedures
could result in serious injuries!

Note that parts of the light may be hot after use, so allow it to cool before commencing repair
work.The bulbs of gas-discharge lamps are gas-filled, so handle with care. Use gloves and safety
glasses. Do not touch the lamp holder or the glass part of the bulb when carrying out the
replacement.

Checking the tires condition

Check that the tires are undamaged and properly mounted.
When the tire damage is detected early enough, it may be possible to repair the tire, which
increases its service life, or remove the need to replace the tire in difficult conditions.

Checking the tires air pressure

Check the air pressure of the tires using a pressure gauge.

Ensure that the protective caps are reinstalled on the valve steams after pressure checks and
filling procedures have been performed.

Use of lower tire air pressure than indicated may lead to premature tire
NOTICE wear and possible tire damage.

Checking the tires nuts tightness

Check the tightening torque of the nuts (lubricated).

WARNING! LOSS OF MACHINERY CONTROL HAZARD!

If any of the nuts is missing, machine must not be used before all nuts are
in place and correctly fastened.

Note! look for the tires air pressure and wheels nuts tightness values in next chapter.

DRILL FEED.

CRUSHING HAZARD!

Do not stay in dangerous zone, for instance: central articulation

between front chassis and rear chassis.

FEET CRUSHING HAZARD!

When placing the stabilizers, pay attention that nobody is close to

them.

During tramming, boom and drill feed positions are affecting the machine gravity center and so
the stability of the machine.

When tramming/parking:
• Boom and drill feed extensions must be fully retracted.
• Boom and drill feed must be in line with the machine axis.
• Lower boom and drill feed as low as possible.
• Machine on stabilizers when parking.

RISK OF PROPERY DAMAGE!

NOTICE During the tramming with boom in low position, keep a safe distance
with the ground to avoid damage to the rock drill, feed and hoses
harness.

RISK OF PROPERY DAMAGE!

NOTICE Tramming with lowered stabilizing jacks could damage drill rig
components.

OPTIMUM
STABILITY

In a corner, the machine must be trammed at low speed.

The feed is above the boom and must be oriented in the
direction of the curve.

If to cross a corner, the operator has no choice but swinging

the boom, the stability of the machine will be seriously
affected. The machine must be carefully moved at very low
speed, less than 1 km/h. Operator can also temporally use,
on the internal corner side, the front stabilizing jack with
telescoping extension to secure the operation. But a safe
distance must be kept between the jack and the ground and
Sandvik will decline all responsibilities in case of damage to
the machine and people injuries.

INITIAL POSITION SETTING

• The front frame of the machine should be leveled and in the axis of drilling direction.

Boom position:
• Use the boom lift lever to bring the boom in horizontal position.
• Use the boom swing lever to line up the boom with the front carrier axis.

Drill feed position:

• Use the roll-over lever to bring the drill feed support cradle to the position shown below.
• Use the feed swing and the drill feed tilt lever to line up the roll over axis with the front
carrier axis.
• Use the feed lateral tilt lever to bring the drill feed to the horizontal position.

Note! The boom is now set. If the last 3 movements are not used, the drill feed will remain
in the parallel drilling mode.

Note! For overall improved rigidity of the boom, it is recommended to use the boom
extension when approaching the drill feed to the face instead of the feed extension
cylinder.

• Rotation (R), which turns the drill bit to a new
position before the next percussion.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL DL331
3 - Percussion

Percussion refers to the rock drill piston's impacting,

reciprocating movement generated by the hydraulics. The
rock drill's shank transfers the piston's percussion energy
into the drill rod, and the rod does the same through the
drill bit to the rock. The striking point is the point where the
'1;/$2')-7*#"$';#($/2')-*1(A"1")2*-")"#/2"+
piston hits the shank.

The percussion power is generated by the percussion

force, the percussion frequency, and the drill bit’s
penetration. The percussion power is conveyed to the rock
through the drilling equipment. The percussion power can
be directly controlled by using percussion pressure.
;"#$%&&'()*0(#$"7*2."*;"#$%&&'()*0#"B%")$D7
/)+*2."*+#',,*:'2X&*;")"2#/2'()<*C."*;"#$%&&'()
One of the basic issues in drilling is the energy transfer
capacity of the drilling equipment. Only a certain maximum
+#',,')-*"B%';1")2<*C."*;"#$%&&'()*;(8"#*$/)
amount of kinetic energy can be transferred using drilling
equipment of a certain size. When the equipment’s ability
Y)"*(0*2."*:/&'$*'&&%"&*')*+#',,')-*'&*2."*")"#-D
to transfer energy is exceeded, equipment damage
increases rapidly.

The percussion power used depends on the quality of the

rock to be drilled. If the rock is soft, a lower percussion
pressure can be used. If the rock is hard, a higher
percussion pressure is used.
Setting the percussion pressure always involves a
compromise between penetration rate and equipment
durability. &(027*/*,(8"#*;"#$%&&'()*;#"&&%#"*$/)*:"*%&"+<

5 - Rotation

Rotation is the drill rod's rotation movement

that aims to move the drill bit buttons between
percussions. The hydraulic motor inside the
rock drill rotates the drill rod through a gearing.
The correct rotation speed depends on the
form and diameter of the drill bit, hole depth,
rock conditions, and the other main functions
of drilling.
Inadequate rotation speed causes energy loss
(the cuttings are ground too finely) and leads
to poor penetration.
Too high a rotation speed results in excessive

6 - Flushing

Flushing means transferring the loose rock material

(cuttings) created in drilling away from the drill hole.
The other task of the flushing function is to cool the
structures of the rock drill and the drilling
equipment.
Poor flushing leads to low penetration (cuttings are
ground at the bottom of the hole), to short drilling
equipment service life (risk of rod jamming is/D*0#(1
increased), and to rapid wear of the drill bit. )-

Water flushing is a flushing method that binds rock

shank backward, toward the striking point. This enables the piston to hit the shank also when
there is no feed or the rock drill is pulled back. Percussion energy can also be used when the rod )-
is being removed, and rattling can be performed efficiently without rock contact. The power
extractor cannot be used during normal drilling, and it cannot be on for more than a few seconds
at a time.

DRILLING ADJUSTMENT

While drilling the operator can adjust the rotation speed (RPM) as well as the feed pressure.

Note! Always adjust both rotation and feed at the best level acceptable according to your
ground condition.

Rotation over-speed will result in a faster wear of the bit carbide inserts, mainly in
abrasive rock.

Under-feeding will result in rapid wear of the rod, shank and coupling threads. A smoking
coupling indicates under feeding, increase the feed pressure when the coupling smokes.
Over-feeding will result in an increase in the rotation pressure which indicates an over-
torque. That reduces the life time of the rotation mechanism of the rock drill.
While drilling keep the rotation pressure to an average value of 50 bar (pressure gauge
C).

OPERATOR’S MANUAL DL331
4.8.9. Some drilling tips

The economy and the efficiency of the jumbo are highly depending on the way how the operator
is using the rig during drilling.
• Plan the drilling sequence so that drilling time for each boom is approx. the same.
• If possible, position the feed so that the operator is able to see the drill steel during drilling.
• Use always feed extension cylinder to push the feed rail against the rock.

• Before starting to drill and during the drilling make sure that the buffer in the front end of the
feed rail is firmly against the rock.
• During collaring the bit has a tendency to deviate from the given direction. To overcome this
situation, a lower drilling settings and long enough collaring time should be used. If the hole
deviates anyway, direction of the feed rail has to be corrected according to hole direction.
Misalignment causes extra stresses and wear of the drill steel, wear pieces, drifter etc.

• Rotation pressure gauge is good guideline to find suitable feed and percussion pressures.
Normally pressure should be approx. 70...80 bar. If it is higher or the drill bit is jamming
continuously, check the condition of the drill bit or lower feed and percussion pressures.
• Too low feed pressure causes poor penetration and rapid wear of drifter and the drill steels.
Too high feed pressure causes also rapid wear but also deviation of the holes.

 DL331 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

• To ensure proper flushing observe that water is continuously running out from the hole to be
drilled.

• During drilling the contour holes, avoid the drifter, middle centralizer or hose reel to touch
the rock in order to avoid underfeeding and mechanical damages.
• Vibration of the drifter hoses may mean that the diaphragm of the drifter low pressure
accumulators damaged or filling pressure is incorrect.
• Permanent drop of the penetration rate may mean that the diaphragm of the drifter high
pressure accumulator is damaged, bit is worn out or damaged.
• Change the drill bits often enough.

4.8.10. Drilling parameters

The relation between percussion pressure, feed pressure, rotation speed and required flushing
flow as well as their correct setting depend on several factors such as rock conditions, bit type
and the hole diameter.
Drilling parameters has to be adjusted always according current drilling conditions. Following
table presents drilling parameters which are used factory test drilling in homogeneous
granodiorite. Table in chapter “Recognizing incorrect drilling parameters” (page 203) can be used
as a guideline to adjust proper parameters for current drilling conditions.
Example parameters for upward drilling with 64mm drill bit.

Note! Increase in rotation pressure can also
be caused by drill rod bending or other
abnormal resistance to rotation.
FEED Too high feed force
• Bending of drill rod, faster wear of centralizers
and chuck, increased risk of piston striking
shank at an angle.
• Changed sound of rock drill.
Note! Increasing the feed force over a
certain limit does not increase penetration
rate.
• Rock drill jumps and shakes (clinking sound)
• Front end of chuck and coupling sleeve of drill
rod wear faster.
• Faces of rock drill body will wear faster (main-
tenance intervals are shortened).
FEED Too low feed force • Penetration rate decreases. The shank is not in
correct position when piston strikes. Only a
small proportion of impact force is transmitted to
rock.
• Life of drilling equipment is shortened (great
tensile stresses on drilling equipment).

4.8.11. During drilling

Observe during drilling:

• The operation of shank lubrication.
• Oil mist comes out from the openings at the bottom of the rock drill's body
• The rock drill hoses are not shaking more than usual.
• The rock drill shows no oil leaks.
• The rock drill flushing housing seals are not leaking water.
• No hose connections are leaking.
• The drilling pressure gauges show normal readings.
• No yellow or red warning lights are on.

sharpened one.

Drill steel and shank adaptor

These tools are essential to productive drilling.
They transmit percussion and rotation energy to the bit if kept correctly
on line.
Correct alignment allows optimal energy transmission, reduced wear of
the drill steel against the guide shoes, perfect hole alignment, minimum
drill steel torsion, and prevents premature breaking of the shanks and
drill steels.

Note! Often check the rod guiding elements, the shank and the flushing head and report
immediately noticed anomalies on every parts of the drill feed and rock drill.

• Active manual back pressure (lever 6) in order to decrease the rotation pressure (less 10 to
20 bar than normal drilling rotation pressure). So, less feed force = less torque / tightening
of the rods couplings.
• And finish your hole until the water comes out between threads of rods, shank and you can
hear the threads are loose.
• The bit is in contact with the rock, so it isn't damaging and no free hammering for the drifter.
• Then release rotation (lever 1), percussion (lever 2), feed (lever 3) with push button E and
turn off flushing (joystick M).
• Release manual back pressure (lever 6).

Or, when the whole hole is drilled:

• Release rotation (lever 1) and feed (lever 3).
• Leave percussion and flushing ON until water comes out between threads of rods and
shank and you can hear the threads are loose.
• Then release percussion (lever 2) and turn off flushing (joystick M).

4.10. Special circumstances

4.10.1. Removing a jammed drilling rod

WARNING
CRUSHING HAZARD!

Unexpected rod or feed or boom movements could generate severe

injuries.

If you need to break off the drilling rod or remove it from the feed,
make sure that neither the drilling rod nor any part of the feed or
boom is loaded. When the drilling rod is broken off, the rod or the
feed may make an unexpected movement.

The drilling rod may get jammed in the hole, due to the drilling conditions. If the rod keeps
jamming even though the conditions are normal, some of the drilling parameters may be
incorrect or the drill bit may be worn or damaged. Instructions for setting the parameters are in
the section entitled “Identifying incorrect drilling parameters”.
If the drill bit is not too tight, you may be able to remove it. Try the following procedure:
• 1. Start water flushing.
• 2. Set percussion to full power.
• 3. Choose to run the feed backward.
• 4. Try to use the rotation in both directions.

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!

NOTICE Do not use boom or feed movements to remove the drilling rod.

• Use the unbraking hand pump to pressurize the brake cylinders until 30 bar are read on the
manometer located on the tramming panel. The pressure build up by the hand pump is
sufficient to release the brakes.
• Use the unbraking pump during towing if the pressure drops below 21 bar.

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE.

NOTICE Towing a machine when the pressure in the hydraulic circuit goes
below 21 bar will damage the brakes.
Use the unbraking pump to avoid to reach a such value.

Note! In case of emergency, the brake valve is always functioning. To apply the brakes
push downward the emergency / parking brake knob, as you do in normal conditions.

• After towing, connect the bleeding hose (1) to the PpPd port.
• Connect back the manometer hose (2) to its initial position.
• Put back the unbraking hand pump in the tramming position.
• Close the bypass valve by screwing the screw 1. Tighten the screw up to 10Nm.
• Protect the HP valve with a new plastic cap to prevent any change of the HP valve settings.

WARNING! BRAKE LOSS HAZARD!

Operating a machine with faulty brakes will result in loss of brakes and
contribute to hazardous situations.

NEVER START THE ENGINE WITH THE BYPASS FUNCTION OF THE HP

VALVES RELEASED IN TOWING POSITION.
The bypass function of the HP valves should be set in its original position as
soon as the towing process has been completed.

WARNING! BRAKE LOSS HAZARD!

Incorrect position of the lever of the unbraking hand pump and non-
reconnection of the bleeding hoses on the brake valve may result in loss of
service brakes and contribute to hazardous situations.

Before tramming always ensure that the unbraking hand pump is in

tramming position and the bleeding hose re-connected.
Refer to the label for instructions.

6.5. Long distance towing

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!

NOTICE Due to the structure of the transmission system, the engine cannot be
started by pushing or towing.

The rigidity of the steering limits the towing speed. If hydraulic pressure
is not available, steering will be extremely stiff and slow. The towing
speed should be slower than 3 km/h and the towing distance less than
10 km.
The rig must not be used for towing.

6.5.1. Towing with the engine in operating condition

If the engine/pump combination is in working order, towing does not require any special measures.
Start the engine and adjust the running speed so that the feeding pressure is normal.

6.5.2. Towing with a faulty engine

If the engine/pump combination is out of order and the engine cannot be started, the steering will
not work either, and the following measures will be required for towing: If the engine is not in
working order and the brake system is not pressurized, the brakes can be released mechanically.

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!

NOTICE
Attach a towing rod between the towed and the towing vehicles before
uncoupling the driveline and releasing the brakes.

1. Uncouple the front and rear drivelines.

2. Attach the uncoupled axles to the support so that they do not get damage during towing.
