The control levers are direct-acting. The boom has hydraulic parallel holding of the
feeder, which means that all the holes can be drilled parallel to each other. Each cyl-
inder is marked using a colour coded system where the colour of the cylinder corre-
sponds with the colour marking on the lever that controls it. This simplifies learning
and makes it easier to directly select the correct direction for each lever. The speed of
the cylinders is proportional to the travel of the levers, which makes controlling the
boom smooth and adaptive.

2. Change the front drill steel support bush to the correct dimension so that the join
between two drill rods can pass without obstruction.
3. Select the auto drilling function using the selector lever for drilling/auto drilling in
order to prevent automatic drill return.
Note
Open the drill steel support with the control lever for the hydraulic drill steel sup-
port before the join between the drill rod and shank adapter reaches forward to
the drill steel support.
2. Hammer against the bottom of the hole to separate the drill rod from the shank
adapter.
3. Make sure that the threaded joint is in the drill steel support and close the drill
steel support with the control lever for the hydraulic drill steel support.
4. Work loose the shank adapter from the drill rod by activating feed backwards with
the control lever for threading, extension drilling and rotation right with the con-
trol lever for rotation.
5. Reverse the drill with feed control lever so that there is space to thread in a new
drill rod.
7. Screw together the new drill rod by hand with the drill rod that was drilled into the
rock.

11. Directional control equipment
FAM
Directional control FAM (Feed Angle Measurement) is available in two designs:
Angle indication involves measurement and indication of the feeder's direction. The
system calculates the deviation from the defined reference direction, which the
feeder's direction should give with a full-depth drilled hole. The deviation is pre-
sented in cm.
For the system to present the correct values, the user must specify a reference direc-
tion and a length for a full-depth drilled hole (not drill steel length).
The system also shows instantaneously the attained hole depth when drilling, if
equipped with hole depth measurement

The feed direction is shown graphically in the form of a target where the bull's-eye
represents the starting point of the hole. The target shows where the hole finishes up
in the bottom of the blast. If the feeder is directed according to the reference direc-
tion, the hole will end up in the centre of the target. Otherwise, there will be a devia-
tion that is indicated with a line (6).
According to the figure above, the hole will deviate about 7 cm both vertically and
horizontally.
The angle display will always be based on drilling the maximum depth of hole, i.e.
according to the value at (4). Maximum hole depth must therefore be set before angle
display will work.
The type of reference direction must also be chosen (3). If the rig symbol is chosen,
the system will use a predefined reference direction, i.e. the rig's longitudinal axis. If
the tunnel symbol is chosen instead, an optional reference direction can be defined.
If the hole depth measurement option has been chosen, the measured hole depth will
be displayed (7). This also means it is possible to zero hole depth measurement (1).

selected. The system will then show the direction of the feeder in relation to the lon-
gitudinal direction of the rig.
This alternative can be used when it is possible to set up the rig in alignment with the
drilling direction.

13. Shift control, option
Description of operation
The APC 50 shift control is used to prevent incorrect downshifting and changes in
direction of travel that otherwise could damage the transmission.
Speed reduction must be done by releasing the accelerator and using the service
brakes. Reducing speed by downshifting can damage the transmission and is there-
fore prevented with APC 50.
The direction of travel, from forwards to reverse or from reverse to forwards, may
only be changed while the rig is stationary. Changing the direction of travel while the
rig is in motion can damage the transmission and is therefore prevented by APC 50.
Changes in the direction of travel and downshifting can be done at the following
approximate speeds.
When attempting to downshift or change direction of travel at the wrong speed, the
right-hand point of the display will flash to make the driver aware that this measure is
not allowed and will therefore be prevented by APC 50.
