Operator's Manual D25KX

WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
Breaking a supporting cylinder hydraulic line may allow the
supported load to fall causing personnel injury or death.
When working with cylinders and any apparent loads they may hold,
MECHANICALLY SUPPORT AND SECURE the load prior to
performing any repair work.
NEVER attempt to work on hydraulic cylinders without adequate
safety training. Refer to bulletin SB243A for more information.

Hydraulic pressures may be trapped in the hydraulic system by design. For

example the residual pressure may be holding a load. A cylinder with
attached components such as the rotary head and drill pipe weight, require
some means of residual pressure to hold the oil in check thus holding the
load. Removing the pressure may lead to a falling load and a potential
safety condition.
1. 1. Determine if mast is vertical or horizontal.
• If vertical, lock and support the rotary head in position so that it
cannot fall.
• If horizontal, lock the rotary head into position so it does not move.
2. Disconnect the pilot line to the valve.
3. Connect a portable hydraulic pump to the pilot line input on the valve.
4. Pump the portable hydraulic pump to achieve sufficient pressure to
open the holding valve and discharge pressure between the holding
valve and the cylinder.
5. After pressure has been released, disconnect hose slowly and drain off
any residual oil and pressure. Have a pan beneath the valve to catch
spilled oil.
Contact your Sandvik representative for a copy of service bulletin SB243A
for more information on releasing stored hydraulic circuit pressures.
2.6.8 Pinhole test

DANGER
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD!
Hydraulic oil under extreme pressure from a small opening can
penetrate the skin and inject oil into the body.
Do not attempt to locate a hydraulic leak by using your hand.
Seek immediate medical aid if injured.

The most common injury related to hydraulic systems is the result of

pinhole leaks in hoses.

Operator's Manual D25KX

Pinhole leaks are hard to detect. Do not place any body part near a
suspected leak.
To decrease the chances of this type of injury, make sure you do the PIN-
HOLE TEST.
1. With the machine off, check for wet or oily areas where hydraulic oil has
leaked or where dirt has accumulated on an oily surface. Move hoses
as needed to check under or behind.
2. Clean surface and the area. Mark the suspected area and start the
machine. Operate controls as normal.
3. Shut off the machine and checked the suspected area for evidence of a
leak.
• This is obvious if the hose has burst. The hose frequently has oil at
high pressure flowing through. Once it has a burst, a large quantity
of oil will go out in a short time.
• If the hose only has a small leak, it is necessary to find the position
where the oil is dripping. Then follow the wet trail to find the source.
4. Move a piece of wood/cardboard or paper along the hose to find the
leak.
2.6.9 Pressurized Air Trapped in the Drill String

WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AIR HAZARD!
A blocked bit may trap high pressure air and may cause death or
severe injury when attempting to unblock the bit.
Shut off air to drill string before attempting any work on the drill
string or bit.

Trapped air could present a dangerous situation when trying to unblock a

drill bit. When a blocked bit is encountered and pressurized air is trapped in
the drill string, perform the following:
1. Confirm with the bit air valve is turned off that the bit air pressure gauge
is at 0 pressure prior to taking action to remove blockage from bit.
2. If there is pressure trapped in the drill string then steps need to be taken
prior to any work taking place on the drill string.
3. Recommend to break out hammer or drill steel to release trapped air
prior to working on unblocking the drill bit or hammer.
4. Recommend to maintain drill string components and breakout tooling in
serviceable condition.
5. Warning about pressurized air dangers.

4. : Glass, electronics and wiring
• Machine body: Metal components may be recycled as raw material for
new products. Any metal components exposed to hazardous waste
must be decontaminate before they are recycled.
• Plastic: Plastic parts are often recyclable. Plastic part labels display
recycling information. Type 1, 2, and 5 plastic labels below show the
plastic is recyclable. Dispose of Type 3, 4, 6, and 7 as non-recyclable
waste. Consult your local waste handler for applicable rules and
regulations governing plastic waste disposal in your area.

• Rubber: Clean rubber material, tubes and hoses before recycling to

remove grime, grease, and oil. Decontaminate any materials exposed to
hazardous material.

Operator's Manual D25KX

• Glass: Glass materials, including glass windshields are recyclable.

Local rules and regulations may require sorting glass containers for
disposal.
• Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical wiring and electronic
components contain recyclable metals, heavy metals and hazardous
materials. Burning the plastic coating from copper wiring reduces the
copper value, produces toxic gas with adverse health effects, harms the
environment and is illegal. Never dispose of hazardous electrical wiring
or electronic waste in waste bins. Waste batteries, circuit boards,
insulated wires and some types of light bulbs are classified as
hazardous waste. To ensure compliance with all applicable hazardous
waste handling and disposal regulations use only licensed waste
treatment contractors.
• Air conditioning units: Air conditioning unit hazardous gaseous
refrigerant compounds require recovery and disposal by a licensed
waste disposal facility in compliance with applicable rules and
regulations. Never vent hazardous refrigerant compounds to the
atmosphere as this contributes to global climate change. Drain the
refrigerant oil from the system then recycle the steel, copper and
aluminum components.
• Batteries:
Batteries classified as hazardous waste have sulfuric acid, mercury,
nickel, cadmium, lead and other dangerous materials with hazardous
chemical properties. Wet cell lead acid batteries have toxic, hazardous
and flammable substances classified as environmentally hazardous
material. The lead in the batteries is highly toxic and accumulates in the
body over time. The acid in these batteries is extremely corrosive, it can
burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if it gets in the
eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin, or clothes, rinse thoroughly
with water and sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid. If battery acid
gets in the eyes, flush the eyes with water and seek medical attention.
Disposal of waste lead acid batteries requires special storage and
handling by an authorized waste disposal facility in compliance with
applicable rules and regulations. If uncertain to whether a battery is
hazardous, assume that it is and dispose of it with the hazardous waste.
• Oils and fluids: Do not burn waste oil, dumped it in the trash or on the
ground and under no circumstances poured down a sanitary sewer
drain or into water systems. Collect and store waste oil only in suitable
containers. The best container for collecting waste oil is the original oil
container that is easy to seal, safe to transport and has the necessary
warning labels. Clearly mark the waste container as “waste oil.” Dispose
of empty oil containers as regular waste after removing all waste oil that
can be poured, pumped, or sucked out until no liquid drains from it
when tilted in any direction. Used oil mixed with grease, fuels, solvents,
and other substances is hazardous waste. Dispose of waste oil
separately in compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

• Oil mixed with Solid waste: Collect oil filters, fuel filters, oily rags and
used oil absorbents in an airtight, noncombustible (such as metal)
container with a tight-fitting lid to prevents spontaneous combustion.
Disposed of this material as hazardous waste in compliance with
applicable rules and regulations.
• Solvents and oil trap sludge: Collect solvents and sludge from oil
traps in an airtight, noncombustible (such as metal) container with a
tight-fitting lid. Clean the surface layer in the oil traps regularly, drain the
entire trap and the sludge at the bottom at least yearly. Do not mix the
oil trap sludge with oil waste. Dispose of this material as a hazardous
waste in compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
• Fuel oil: Dispose of waste fuel oil as a hazardous waste through an
authorized waste treatment facility in compliance with applicable rules
and regulations.
• Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator anti-freeze and
hydraulic fluids are hazardous wastes containing heavy metals, zinc,
and copper. Do not dispose of these liquids in a sanitary sewer drain or
mixed them with other waste streams. Always collect liquid hazardous
wastes in separate, clearly labeled containers; deliver the contains to an
authorized waste treatment facility for disposal in compliance with
applicable rules and regulations.

2.10 Safe Operating Principals

3.3.11 Feed System

A main concept of a drill machine feed system is to “feed” or move drill pipe
in and out of various ground conditions. There are two modes; feed down
also referred to as pulldown and feed up also referred to as hoist or retract.
Machine specific feed pump, feed cylinders or drive motors, pulldown and
hoist chains are primary considerations when setting a feed system
properly.
The feed system converts hydraulic power into mechanical energy to raise
and lower the rotary head.
The feed system uses a hydraulic pump to power two hydraulic cylinders in
the mast. The rod end of each cylinder is attached to a sprocket carrier that
pulls the feed chain to lower the top head and pulls the hoist chain to raise
the top head.
Chain tension is adjusted with hydraulic grease cylinders on the top of the
mast. When chain sag cannot be adjusted with the cylinders due to chain
stretch, the chain length is adjusted with pinned rods on the end of the feed
chain.

The dust collector system is responsible for removing particles of dust

flushed out of the hole by the bailing air. A dust collector inlet hose is
mounted on the dusthood. Dust is drawn into the dust collector housing
where it is filtered. The dust collected on the filters is automatically purged
from the filters and falls to the ground. Clean air is exhausted through the
fan vent on top of the collector.
Dust-laden air is cleaned by six filter elements. PLC-controlled solenoid air
pulse valves operate periodically to deliver air bursts to displace dust from
the filters. Displaced dust drops to the ground via the dump hoses in the
bottom of the dust collector cabinet.
The drill operator controls the operation of the dust collector from the
operator's seat controls. Logic circuits of the drill prevent the dust collector
from working when water injection is selected.
Water injection system:

The wash water and water injection pumps are located on the drill deck left
hand side next to the water tank that supply both systems. In cold weather
packages, the water injection pump is located in a heated housing on the
water tank.
The power washer system has a wand and hose reel mounted atop the
water tank.
Water injection pump can spray water to the flushing air flowing to the drill
bit to help suppress dust generation and to improve the integrity of the drill

water flow is controlled by the water injection volume control fitted to the
operator's left side seat control panel.
The injection water tank is filled through a filler on top of the tank.
3.3.14 Flushing Air System
The flushing air system takes atmospheric air and compresses it in a rotary
screw compressor which is driven by the engine. This compressed air
system is made up of air intake, oil/air separation, oil cooling and air
regulating systems. The compressed flushing air is routed up the mast,
through the rotary head and down the drill string. As this compressed air
exits through the drill bit it forces ground up rock and earth to the surface.

4.1 Operating the Machine

The following operating suggestions are offered as a reminder rather than
as an attempt to instruct, since a machine of this size must not be entrusted
to anyone except a fully trained and qualified operator.

4.2 Definitions and Acronyms

Power Breakout (PBO): Used to assist loosening tight drill pipe threads
and consists of three functions: swinging, clamping, & breaking pipe. The
wrench dies use a three point contact to grip the drill pipe similar to a pipe
wrench.
Holding Wrench (Deck Wrench): Supports drill pipe tool joint when
tightening or loosening drill threads. Often stowed during drilling operations.
Holding wrench group uses fork style wrenches to clamp the drill pipe, drill
pipe sub assemblies, and drill bits during threading (tightening) and
unthreading (loosening) procedures.
Vee block: Used to assist in keeping pipe straight and provide support
during pipe handling and drilling operations.
Drill Pipe Loader: Moves pipe to load or stow positions.

the options installed. This modern display replaces the old mechanical
gauges of previous generation machines.
The 6107 Sandvik Display unit uses a touchscreen for commands. To
change screens, swipe a finger across the screen to change between the
EDC and the DMS screens.
Keep the screen clean to prevent unnecessary scratching while swiping
and to permit more efficient reading of the finger position.
4.3.1 Cleaning
The display is a touchscreen monitor and requires the following cleaning
precautions:
• Typically clean with a damp cloth, not a wet cloth.
• Do not use excessive liquid.
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
• Do not use an alkaline-based cleaner.
• Do not use hot water.
• A direct water jet towards the control units should be avoided, especially
when using high pressure.
• The use of any such solvent that causes damage to electronic devices
should be avoided when handling the control units.
4.3.2 Screens
Use this section to identify items on the GUI screens.

4.3.3 Operational Authority

SAM can be operated under several levels of authority. The most common
is Operator User Role. This User Role is used in most day-to-day
operations by the drill operator.
Super Operator User Role (Supervisor) is used to allow some configuration
changes that may be needed at a drill site after a decision is made by
management. Its use would be controlled at a supervisory level.
Maintenance User Role would be used by maintenance personnel during
maintenance operations on the machine.
Factory User Role was used at the factory to initially program and set up
the machine. It would not be used at the mine site except by factory
representatives for major changes to the system.

DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Failure to properly service the batteries may cause personal injury.
Improper jump start procedures can cause an explosion and may
result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

Observe the following precautions with jump starting the machine:

• Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause vapors to explode.
• Do not allow the jump start cable connector to contact each other or the
machine.
• Extinguish all burning materials when checking battery electrolyte
levels.
• Electrolyte is an acid and will cause personal injury if it contacts the skin
or eyes.
• Always wear eye protection when starting a machine with jump start
cables.
• Improper jump start procedures can cause an explosion resulting in
personal injury.
• Jump start only with an energy source of the same voltage as the
disabled machine.
• Turn off all lights and accessories on the disabled machine.
• Do not attempt to charge a battery that has ice in any of the cells.
Charging a battery in this condition can cause an explosion that may
result in personal injury or death. Always let the ice melt before
attempting to charge.
• When jump starting one machine to another, make sure that the
machines do not touch. This could cause damage to engine bearings
and electrical circuits.
• Turn on (close) the battery disconnect switch prior to making a
connection to prevent damage to electrical components on the disabled

4.11 Mast Raising/Lowering

4.11.1 Mast Raising/Lowering Preparation

DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Operating near or contacting a power line with any part of the
machine can result in electrocution.
Do not raise or lower the drilling mast or operate the machine in the
vicinity of electrical power lines without checking the minimum safe
operating perimeter set by local, state or national regulations.

Before raising or lowering the mast:

• Make sure it will not contact any overhead power line once raised.
• All components on the mast are firmly secured.
• The mast-side cab door is closed.
• The operator remains in the cab and any helpers maintain a 50 ft. (15
m) distance from all sides of the machine.
• Drill pipe has been retracted to a point where the drill bit is just below
the mast table.
4.11.2 Pre-conditions for Mast Raising/Lowering
The pre-conditions for raising or lowering the mast are:
• Drill pipe is not in the hole (in Bit-Stow position)
• Loader is in stow position.
• Mast pins are unlocked.
• Leveling function is not engaged.
• Jacks are extended and machine is leveled.

Operator's Manual D25KX

DANGER
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
During any mast movement, drill pipe can fall off the mast causing
personnel injury or death if the mast safety hoop is not installed
properly.
Before raising or lowering the mast, please make sure that the mast
safety hoop is properly installed.

4.11.3 Mast Movement Guideline

Gradual pressure reduction for controlled mast travel:
It is recommended to release control pressure slowly as the mast gets
closer to stopping. This helps the system slow down smoothly and stop
securely without putting too much strain on it.
Timely release of control upon secure mast stop:
Quickly release the mast raise and lower controls once the mast has
stopped securely. This rapid action prevents prolonged pressure, reducing
the risk of issues related to sustained pressure on stationary components.
Using these practices as needed keep equipments in good shape, reducing
damage to important parts. This helps machines last longer and makes
mast control safer overall.
4.11.4 Raising the Mast

DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
High voltage overhead power lines can cause severe injury or death.
Maintain the required local legal distance.

Always ensure the machine is level and supported with jacks before
raising or lowering the mast. The mast cannot be raised or lowered
unless the machine is on jacks and leveled.

5.2 Maintenance Procedures

5.2.1 Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) (Optional Tier 4 Engine)

Fill the DEF tank when filling the diesel fuel tank. The tank is located to the
left of the engine next to the water tank.
This schedule may have to be modified depending on use. If the tank
becomes empty before the fuel tank is filled, filling of the DEF must occur
more often.
5.2.2 Central Lubrication Tank Connection
Grease is supplied to lubricate the drill from the central lubrication system
tank located on the right drill deck. The central lubrication tank is filled via
the service station.
When the service vehicle connects to a valve on the service station, the
valve opens to allow grease to flow into the central lubrication tank.
When the central lubrication tank is filled to capacity, the valve shuts off the
flow of grease to the tank. Shut-off occurs when tank pressure reaches 0.41
to 0.45 bar (6 to 8 PSI). The secondary function of the valve is to
automatically shut off the grease pump on the service vehicle.
The central lubrication tank has a breather that filters air entering the tank
as the grease level in the tank lowers and creating a vacuum.
A relief valve on the central lubrication tank will automatically release
pressure from the tank when the pressure reaches 1.72 bar (25PSI). The
valve can also be actuated manually by lifting the valve ring.

Operator's Manual D25KX

WARNING
TOWING HAZARD!
Personal injury or death could result when towing a machine
incorrectly.
Do not allow anyone to be on or near a machine that is being towed
or connected to a towing machine. Injury or death may result when
towing a machine incorrectly.

WARNING
FINAL DRIVE DAMAGE HAZARD!
Attempt to operate both the final drive motors with final drives
disengaged could lead to damage.
Both final drives must be disengaged before towing the machine.
Do not operate drive motors with final drives disengaged.

Guideline
• The machine is equipped with hydraulic track drive motors with
automatic spring set brakes. If the machine cannot be started, or
hydraulic components are defective preventing the system to be
pressurized, tow the machine by removing the disengagement
mechanism from the final drive as discussed below in this section.
• Do not use a chain for towing a machine. A chain link can break and
cause personal injury. Use a properly rated tow bar or cable with ends
that have loops or rings. Observer towing procedure from a safe
distance. Stop the procedure if the tow bar or cable starts to break. Stop
pulling whenever the towing machine moves without moving the
machine.

WARNING
A tow bar is recommended for moving this equipment. The strength
of the tow bar or tow cable should be at least 150% of the gross
weight of the towing machine.

• Shields must be provided on both the machines and towing machine to

protect the towing machine operator if the tow bar or cable breaks.
Attach the tow bar or cable to the towing eye on the front of the machine
if you are towing the machine forward.
• Keep the tow bar angle to a minimum. Do not exceed a 30° angle from
the straight ahead position.

Operator's Manual D25KX

• Before towing the machine, make sure that the tow bar or cable is in
good condition. Make sure that the tow bar or cable has enough
strength for the towing procedure involved. This requirement is for
towing a machine that is stuck in the mud and for towing on a grade.
• Quick machine movement could overload the tow bar and could cause
the tow bar to break. Gradual, steady machine movement is safer and
more effective.
• The towing machine must be as large as the machine being towed.
Make sure that the towing machine has enough brake capacity, enough
weight, and enough power. The towing machine must be able to control
both machines for the grade, surface condition and distance that is
involved. Minimal towing machine capacity is required on smooth, level
surfaces, maximum towing machine capacity is required on inclines or
on rough, uneven surfaces in poor condition.
• Provide sufficient control and sufficient braking when towing the
machine downhill. This may require a larger towing machine or
additional machines connected to the rear of the machine to prevent the
machine from rolling downhill out of control.
• Consult Sandvik representative for additional towing situation
requirements that is not addressed in this document, as required.

6.7 Track Parking Brakes

6.7.1 Parking Brake Description
Each track motor has a spring applied, hydraulically released brake. These
brakes are controlled by a tram enable valve. When drilling or when the
machine is not running, the valves are always de-energized and the brakes
applied to the crawler final drive gearboxes. While in the tramming mode,
the valves are energized and the brakes are released to allow tramming.
The multi-disc parking brake is integrated in the final drive unit on the motor
side and is lubricated with the final drive oil. The brake does not require any
maintenance and only needs to be checked at the time of general service
of the complete final drive unit.
The multi-disc parking brake is kept closed by thrust springs. If repairs are
required, it must be removed from the final drive and replaced as a
complete unit. This configuration protects all the individual parts, such as
the discs, springs, and sealing parts from outside influences. Any repair
operation should be carried out exclusively by a specialized workshop.
Note: Bleed the brake circuit after any work on the machine or on the
hydraulic couplings.
6.7.2 Parking Brake Disengagement
Undercarriages with final drives parking brake engaged, cannot be moved if
the hydraulic system is not operational. For this reason, a disengagement
mechanism is installed so the undercarriage can be towed if the motor is
inoperable.

WARNING
MACHINE FREE ROLLING HAZARD!
Releasing the parking brake may cause the machine to move
unexpectedly.
The engine must be stopped with the machine on level ground
before releasing the parking brakes.
Block the machine to prevent movement before final drives are
disengaged. The machine may roll freely if it is not blocked.
With final drives disengaged, the machine cannot be stopped or
steered.

A disengagement plug is located on each of the final drive assembly

covers. A planetary sun gear is under the disengagement plug, and when
removed, it releases the final drive brake.
Note: The maximum speed of the final drive should not exceed 20 rpm
for more than one continuous hour while disengaged.

Operator's Manual D25KX

Two separate sprayer systems available to the operator are the Mist Under
Hood and Chip Pile sprayers. The sprayers are activated by the operator by
switches on the control panel.

1. The Mist Under Hood delivers water spray to the area immediately
surrounding the chip pile under the hood before the rig moves away
from the drill hole.

2. The Chip Pile Spray permits water to be sprayed on the chip pile as the
drill moves away from the drill hole.
Water for the systems is drawn from the injection water tank, located under
the deck of the drill, on the left hand side.
The injection water tank is filled through the Wiggins service panel.
The water injection pump, located on the left hand side of the deck adjacent
to the base of the crane, pumps water from the water injection tank through
the water injection filter to the manifold. The water injection filter and
manifold are located adjacently, below the deck under the injection water
pump.
