 Daily Inspection

Inspection points
 Daily Inspection
To ensure optimal utilization of the rig and its equipment, it is of
utmost importance that daily maintenance is carried out in
accordance with our recommendations.

The objective for the daily inspection of the rig is to:

• detect faults at an early stage

• facilitate servicing
• allow scheduled maintenance and planned
reconditioning work to be performed
• prevent costly secondary damage
• prevent breakdowns
• prevent personal injury

Note:
Do not operate the rig or the rig equipment until all faults have been
rectified.
 Daily Inspection
Checklist

• Always begin by making a proper

work area or heading inspection.
• Check the overall condition of the
equipment.
• Check safety devices
• Check hoses and cables
• Check oil levels
• Check the lubrication points.
• Keep your eyes open for possible
leakage and wear.
• Pay attention to any faults in the
function of the controls.
Daily Inspection
Before performing an equipment
inspection it’s important to identify
and correct any hazards in the area
where the equipment is parked by
completing an inspection of that area
and recording the inspection on your
5 point card.

Think about these points:

• What is my work area?

• What is a heading?

• What hazards did I find?

• What did I do to correct those

hazards?

Access Levels
There are several access levels
to RCS:

This is to prevent inexperienced

personnel from entering RCS
and changing parameters and
settings.

It also avoids unneeded site

visits to restore settings
accidentally changed.

Three access levels are built in:

Operator, local service staff, and

Atlas Copco service staff.
RCS - Rig Control System

RCS (Rig Control System) is a

control system that governs and
monitors the rig. It is intended for
the following use:

• Checking necessary and essential

parameters

• Conveying necessary information

to the operator

• Executing orders given from the

operator panel

 WARNING!
Brake Test
It is essential that the service brakes and park brake be
properly maintained at all times.

Test the park/emergency and service brakes at the

beginning of each shift, and before driving down
ramps.

If the machine fails any part of the brake system tests,

do not operate the machine until corrective action has
been taken.

Inform your supervisor immediately if the machine fails

a brake test.

swelling (B) and drainage (C). The circle under each symbol indicates
whether the function is active or not. The illustration below shows
gripping (A) active while all the other functions are inactive.
When switching to bolting, the gripper function must already be
activated.

Feed the bolt forward into the hole by moving lever (E) to sector
S2/S5. As the bolt is being fed forward, the bolt arm/arms should be
moved out of the way automatically.

Feed the bolt completely into the hole so that the bolt washer makes
contact with the rock, but avoid pressing too hard with the bolt tool.

The pressure will be drained automatically once the bolt has finished
