3-7 Driving the vehicle
NOTICE!
Whenever possible, drive forwards when driving up an incline and backwards when driving
down an incline. The drill boom and feeders must be in the tramming position. The canopy
must be lowered 20cm minimum below the roof height.
Tramming position
Machine speed depends on the engine speed, the gear selected and the tractive
resistance.
Pressing the accelerator pedal increases speed; releasing the pedal decreases speed.
To drive, proceed as follows:-
Set the Gear selector direction to the FORWARD or REVERSE position as required.
Release the hand brake - pull knob out.
Select first gear.
Press the accelerator pedal down slowly until the required speed is reached. Hold the
accelerator pedal in this position.
Change gears as required. Note that the gears may be changed under full power.
To slow down, release the accelerator pedal slowly until the required speed is reached.
To stop, release the accelerator pedal completely and apply the foot brake.
• Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, the engine will act as a brake. Select the appropriate gear and let
out the accelerator pedal until the machine reaches the required steady speed.
DO NOT CHANGE THE DRIVE DIRECTION WHILE THE

VEHICLE IS MOVING
Change the drive direction as follows:
Stop the machine.

Move the Gear Change Control Switch through the centre (neutral) position to the new
drive direction position.
Drive off as described above.

FUNCTIONS
The following paragraphs describe the functions of the Major hydraulic components.
Item 1 – Directional control valve 3-section – controls: percussion, rotation, feed
Item 2 – Directional control valve 4-section – controls: boom rollover, feed swing, feeder
crowd, boom extension.
Item 3 - Joystick Controller. This two axis Joystick with electrical button switch on the top
of the grip provides manual control of the Auto-parallel boom functions lift and slew;
by the top switch; give separate control of the Tilt and Orientate functions.
Item 4 – Hydraulic pump – supply drill percussion.
Item 5 – Double hydraulic pump – supply.
Item 8 – High pressure filters. These filter the oil output from the three pumps to protect the
hydraulic drifter and hydraulic valves – percussion, rotation and feed.
Item 9 – Return line filters. The return line filters clean the oil before it is returned to the
tank.
Item 10 – Breather filter. The breather allows air out and filters oil going into the reservoir.
Item 11 – Heat exchanger (Oil-water plate cooler). The heat exchanger removes excess
heat from the oil returning to the hydraulic tank.
Item 12 – Anti-jamming Valve. This valve reacts to any rise in rotation pressure to control
feed and percussion pressure, and prevents the drill bit and steel jamming in the hole.
Item 13 – Feed pressure valve. The feed pressure valve provides manual control of feed
pressure during drilling, to accommodate varying rocks types.
Item 15 – Oil level indicator. It shows the hydraulic oil level in the tank.
Item 17 & 18 – Pressure gauges. They provide the operator with the pressures of
percussion circuit, rotation circuit and feed circuit during drilling.
Item 20 – Hydraulic rock drill HC-109. The Drifter converts the hydraulic input power to
percussive energy for drilling. An integrated hydraulic motor rotates the drill steel.
3-9 Drilling Sub-systems
Pumps, drilling control panel complete with control valves and the pressure gauges make up
the drilling sub-system.

Face Master 2.3-1B
OPERATIONS
3-9-1 Percussion control circuit
Fluid enters at standby pressure from the Hydraulic Pump (4) via the pressure filter (8) to the
normally closed Pressure Sensing Valve (20, 21) and then on to the percussion port of the
Drifter (20). When the Percussion section of control valve (1) is operated in forward or reverse
(Full Power or Half Power) a pilot opens valve (21, 20). This pilot also raises the load sensing
signal to the Pump (4) and allows it to supply the required pressure and flow to the percussion
element. When the control handle is in reverse position (Half Power Percussion) the Drifter is
connected with pump by port B of the directional valve and shuttle valve. Pressure is limited to
9 MPa by relief valve mounted in port B of the directional valve and load sensing line which
controls the pump pressure. When the control handle is in forward position (Full Power
Percussion) the Drifter is connected with pump by port A and shuttle valve. Pressure can reach
maximum system pressure of 15 MPa setting on the pump. The return line from the percussion
element is connected to the tank by Heat Exchanger (11) and a Return line Filter (8) mounted
on the top of the tank.
3-9-2 Drill Rotation Control Circuit
Fluid from Double gear pump passes through the High pressure filter and Shuttle Valve and
enters first to the Directional Control Valve and then to the to the Directional Control Valve for
rotation and passes back to the tank. When the control handle is pushed forward the
Directional Control Valve passes fluid from port A to port L of the rotation motor of the hydraulic
Drifter and the steel turns CCW direction (this is the working direction of rotation). When the
control handle is in the reverse position fluid flows through port B to port R of the rotation motor
in hydraulic Drifter and steel turns CW direction. Feed pressure in the A line also controls the
Anti-jamming Valve and to set number of rotation we use flow regulator.
3-9-3 Feed control circuit
Fluid enters from Gear Pump through High Pressure Filter and Shuttle Valve to the 3 section
Directional Control Valve. The middle section of this valve is for the control of the feed
cylinders. When the control handle is in the mid (neutral) position port P is open to tank and
pump must flow to tank. When the control handle is pushed forward, the fluid passes through
port A to drive the feed cylinders forward. When the control handle is pulled towards the
operator, the fluid passes through port B of the section to retract the feed cylinders. The feed
pressure valve is a relief valve which allows the operator to adjust the feed pressure to suit
local rock condition, thus enabling the fastest penetration rate and saving on steels and drill
bits. The Anti-jamming Valve is a pilot operated, relief valve piloted from rotation circuit. The
valve prevents jamming of the drill rod due to broken ground condition or clogging with rock
chippings. The Anti-jamming Valve is an automatic control device which links the Drifter’s
rotation supply pressure and the feed pressure. When the drill steel rotation resistance
increases, the rotation supply pressure will increase, the Anti-jamming Valve will open when
the pressure reaches the valve setting, and connect feed via supply line to the tank. This
causes the drill carriage to stop. The feed will remain stationary while the rotation pressure is
high but will automatically return to driving the feed forward when the rotation pressure drops
back to normal. The 22 MPa feed pressure gauge on port A of the anti-jamming valve is
mounted on the operator’s panel and displays the feed pressure. The Relief valve and Stop
Valve are for the sequence control and setting of the Telescopic Feeder - see next page.

Lift/Tilt, Slew/Orientate Cylinders in auto-parallel mode. The top switch of the handle controller
activates the solenoid operated 2-position directional control valves to gain over-ride of the
front section of the Boom allowing for setting Look-out angles. Flow to the boom control sub-
system is supplied from the double gear hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor. When
the Diesel engine is running, flow to the directional boom control valves can be supplied from
the carrier hydraulic system. This is to allow the boom to be moved for driving round corners.

3-10 Carrier Hydraulic System

9086601
The carrier hydraulic system is driven by Diesel engine by two gear pumps installed on torque
converter on the gear box. The carrier hydraulic system has three sub systems:
1) Steering Hydraulic System
2) Braking Hydraulic System
3) Auxiliary Hydraulic System
The Steering Hydraulic System is powered by gear pump (1) which is installed on torque
converter on the gear box. The steering hydraulic system is based on Danfoss hydrostatic
steering components which consists of a steering unit with valve block (3), steering cylinders
(5) priority valve (4).
Steering System Hydraulic Valve
Braking Hydraulic System is powered by gear pump (31) and consists of the service brake
and emergency parking brake. Control of the service brake is by a brake pedal / braking valve
S6 (6). Pressing the pedal creates a braking effect on the machine. The braking force may be
applied gradually because it is proportional to the force applied on the braking pedal. The
service brake is designed with independent circuits. The hydraulic pump (31) feeds the braking
Valve S6 (6) with brake pedal, valve block, accumulator charging valves and the independent
circuits of the service brakes.
There are charging valves for the 3 accumulators (6); two are incorporated in the circuit of the
service brakes, and one in the circuit of the emergency-parking brake. During loss of power
the emergency parking brake is released by fully unscrewing the knob and pumping it up and
down approximately 15 to 20 times to apply release pressure on the brakes.
Ensure that the rig is secured from run away before releasing the parking brake.
The Auxiliary Hydraulic System is powered by the 16cc gear pump (31) installed on diesel
engine PTO. The auxiliary hydraulic system consists of an 8 section control directional valve
(9) which serves to operate: front jack cylinders (28) rear jack cylinders (17), Hose Reel
Hydraulic Motor (20), Cable Reel Hydraulic Motor (19) jack extension cylinders (15). This
system is protected by relief valve mounted inside 8-section directional control Valve.

3-11 Water and Air System

9086602
The machine is equipped with Water and Air system which is used for flushing a hole
during drilling.
3-11-1 Water System
Function
The function of the water system is to supply flushing system with a controlled flow of
water and for cooling the oil in the main hydraulic system.
The system has external water sources.
The water system includes a water filter (1), water pump (2), pressure overflow valve
(6).
The water system includes flow sensor protecting the system (especially water pump)
from dry running. The sensor will turn off pump electric motor automatically when there
is no water flow. In the case of lack of water the sensor will not allow operator to turn
on the power pack (in such a case turning on the powerpack is possible in manual
mode only).
If water system is supplied from external source and pressure in external water system
is higher than 1.5MPa relief valve will open to protect the pump and the water will be
released onto the mine floor.
If the water system is supplied with water from external source and pressure in external
water system is too high the check valve will open and water will go directly to the
system (pump is bypassed).
The water flushing system, is supplied by the mine water network. Water flows through
a water filter, to the pressure control valve.
Upon opening of the valve, the water stream flows through the pressure pump, to the
water-oil cooler – entering water cools the oil in Main hydraulic system (percussion sub-
system). Then it leaves the cooler flowing through cut-off valves that close and open
the water inflow to flashing heads or to the floor. The cut-off valves are placed on the
front of drilling panel.

OPERATIONS
3-11-2 Air System
Function
The function of the air system is lubrication of the hydraulic Drifter and air flushing, with
minimum flow rate of water (max. 5 l/min).
Operation
The air system includes a compressor, a ball valve, water separator, lubricator set,
pressure reducing valve, pressure gauge, a check valve and pressure switch.
The compressor is equipped with a safety valve set at 1 MPa, capable of supplying 1
m3/min of air.
There is an incorporated air blowing system for holes that is controlled by valves and
that allows cutting off water and blowing with the air.
After passing the lubricator, the compressed air together with oil mist is supplied to the
lubricating system of the drill. Intensity of lubrication of the drill is adjusted by a change
to pressure of the air supplied to the drill and a quantity of oil drops dosed to the
compressed air. Pressure of the lubricating air is adjusted by a pressure reducing valve
of the lubricator. A quantity of oil for lubricating purposes is determined by adjustment
of the drop feeder located in the lubricator. A quantity of drops should be 10 drops per
minute. Additionally, lubrication should be carried out with air pressure reduced to 0.2
÷ 0.3 MPa.
Installation
The following general precaution must be observed during installation:
• Ensure that all components and fittings are clean before connecting up.
• Keep all open ports capped or plugged if they are disconnected.
• Do not exceed given pressure limit.
Instruction for Reel output torque adjustment:

• Unscrew the torque regulating key
• Turn the key up-side-down and insert it into gear-housing
• Turn the drum slowly until the key clicks into a locked position
• Adjust torque by turning the drum half a turn at a time. The torque must be
sufficient with a full drum, but not to pull cable too much with an empty drum.
• To increase torque – turn the drum clockwise
• To decrease torque – turn the drum counter clockwise.
NOTE: Max. torque = 200 Nm

Number of turns between MIN and MAX torque = 3.5.

OPERATIONS
3-11-3 Water Reel Preventative Maintenance
After first week of operation

Check oil level in the gear housing. Oil should be visible through the upper oil plug.
Check if the torque of the Reel is correctly adjusted. The torque should be set so that
the cable never slackens but not to the point where the cable is stretched. If torque is
correctly adjusted once, under normal circumstances it should not require re-adjusting.
Check that all bolts/nuts are properly tightened, especially on the drum and at the cable
connections inside the collector.
Every second month

Check oil level – replenish if insufficient
Check all nuts and bolts – re-tighten
In severely polluted areas, it is advisable to open and clean the collector regularly.
When cleaning, the following should be observed:

Never use water when cleaning. Use a vacuum cleaner, brush or a lint-free cloth or rag.
Slip rings must be dry, clean and free from oil or other covering stains.
If a damaged component is discovered, it must be replaced immediately.
After cleaning the slip rings, the collector housing is to be mounted with its drainage
holes downwards and achieving a good seal.
Oil type / change

The standard oil type used in the gear housing is ESSO GX 85W-90 (or equivalent).
The oil is used for applications at ambient temperatures of -10o to +40o C.
Oil change is to be done every 1000 hours of operation. If reels are used intensively
than the oil change should be every 500 hours of operation.
Required oil quantity = 4.5 liters.
