Pressure air can be dangerous. When using pressure air for cleaning wear a protective
mask for face, protective dressing and shoes.
Maximum air pressure for cleaning use must be below 205 Kpa.
Use always protection gauntlets or cardboard when checking or trying to repair a fluid
leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even from a pinhole leak, can penetrate body tissue
causing serious injury. If a fluid penetrates within the skin, contact immediately a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.
Grease for adjusting track tension/pressure is under high pressure. The grease coming
out from the relief valve under pressure can penetrate the body causing injury or death.
Do not check the relief valve to verify if grease is coming out. Check instead track or
track adjustment to check possible track loosening. Loosen the relief valve only one turn.

Operation & Maintenance Manual
It is possible the diesel engine in your machine does not have all indicators (or the same)
listed here. For further information regarding indicators’ group please see documentation
from the diesel engine’s original supplier.
The indicators are used to check engine’s performance and correct working. Make sure
they are in good conditions and work correctly. Significant changes happening to
indicators could mean there are some problems even though limited to normal machine
working. In any case, always try to identify the causes of any particular changes in
indicators checking and solve possible problems. For any help please contact Trive
Technical Assistance.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE:
Standard range coolant temperature goes from 88 to 102°C. The maximum
temperature with coolant circuit under pressure is 105°C. Higher
temperature can occur only under specific conditions. Temperature can vary
under some specific conditions.
Water temperature can vary according to carico. Temperature must never
overcome boiling point for circuits under pressure.
If you start seeing steam, follow these indications:
- reduce carico and regime del motore (engine speed)
Trive S.r.l. 25
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Cooling system is under pressure: hot coolant can cause serious burns. When it
is necessary to open the coolant tank plug, switch off the engine and wait for
coolant circuit’s components becoming cold. Loosen slowly the plug to decrease
pressure.
COUNTER:
This indicator checks number of turns of engine. When gas control is at its
maximum level without cargo, engine is running at maximum regimen to
empty. Engine runs at maximum regimen on full load when the lever of the
accelerator is in the position of maximum regimen with the nominal cargo
The maximun regimen of engine and the maximun regimen on full load are
indicated on engine’s informative plate.
AMMETER:
This indicator checks battery’s power intensity. During normal working
conditions, indicator must be on the right side of the “0”.
SERVICE COUNTER:
This indicator shows machine’s total number of working hours.
FUEL PRESSURE:
This indicator shows electrical injectors’ fuel pressure coming from the filter.
Indicator must remain on the “normal” zone. A fuel pressure decrease
normally indicates fuel’s filter is clogged up.
FUEL LEVEL:
This indicator shows fuel level on the tank. The indicator works only when
the start switch is on.
Trive S.r.l. 26
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Diesel engine emission fumes contain gas which can be dangerous for your
health. Start the engine in an airy area. If the machine works indoor, try to
route emission fumes out in the open air.
To improve machine efficiency before starting the engine always check possible damages
or breakdowns. In particular check proper crawler chains’ strength, oil or rubble deposits
on the machine, hydraulic oil or coolant leaks, loosened screws, winches wire ropes’
wear.
Check engine oil, hydraulic oil and coolant levels.
Adjust seat before starting any work or when operator changes for reaching easily and
comfortably all controls.
ATTENTION! Start key must be on “ON” position during machine working to enable
electrical and hydraulic systems work correctly.
If engine does not start position start key on “OFF” and try again to start the engine
positioning start key on “START”.
Do not hold “START” position more than 30 seconds. Let start engine cool before trying
again the starting procedure.
While starting the engine, all indicators in the control panel remain “active” for
approximately 2,5 seconds and alarm is on for 1 second. If indicators are not “active”
and alarm does not work, check electrical system and do the necessary repairs before
starting the engine again.
ATTENTION! Keep engine at low speed (let the machine idle) until engine oil pressure
light indicator switches off. If that indicator does not switch off within 10 seconds, stop
the engine running and identify the cause of it before starting again. If you do not follow
this instruction the machine’s engine might be damaged.
Let engine warm up keeping it at low speed for al least 5 minutes. Rotate rotary to the
left and to the right without load to speed up hydraulic oil warming up.
When warming up engine hydraulic oil, follow these indications:
Warm up for approximately 5 minutes if the ambient temperature is above 0°C
Warm up for approximately 15 minutes if the ambient temperature is below 0°C
Trive S.r.l. 27
Operation & Maintenance Manual
During working phases, check regularly and frequently hydraulic oil pressure’s
manometers of high (power) and low pressure circuits.
Make sure nobody is working on the machine o near it to avoid possible accidents. Keep
always machine control in order to avoid accidents.
Reduce engine speed when operating in narrow spaces or when the machine is trying to
overcome an obstacle or a blockage.
When the machine has to travel, insert swing lock pin, fall rotary down until the lowest
position and keep Kelly bars and perforating tool down above ground.
When the machine travels on a sloping ground, low the mast to balance machine during
its route.
Be careful using crawler’s manipulators/controls when moving within the working area
with the mast lifted up.
Keep machine at safety distance from high tension power lines, electric shocks
can cause serious personal injury or death. Keep always at least a safety
distance of 3 metres (plus 10mm for each volt above 50.000 volt).
After the machine has been unloaded from the track on the building site, the first thing
to do is to extend the crawler (variable track).
Make sure no emergency pilot lights / indicators is on (engine oil pressure, engine oil
temperature, coolant temperature, alternator, etc.) after some seconds passed from
starting the engine.
Operating with upper frame lifted up and retracted crawler, even if only for
short movements, might cause machine’s overturn. This can cause personal
injury to operator and damages to the machine itself.
Trive S.r.l. 28
Operation & Maintenance Manual
With upper frame lifted up and retracted crawler, move the machine straight forwards
and backwards using manipulators 12 and 13 (right and left crawlers advance and
regression) which have to be moved simultaneously.
While moving machine forward/backward extend the crawler with manipulator 16.
Crawler extension is complete when extension hydraulic cylinder has completed the
entire race and operator notices crawler’s undercarriages can not extend further.
ATTENTION! Go on extending crawler for a few metres forwards after completing
extension in order to be sure cylinder completed its whole opening. After the crawler
extension, release opening manipulator (16) and forwards and backwards manipulators
(12 and 13).
After opening the crawler it is necessary to lift up the mast to start working with the
machine.
Do not lift up the mast if crawler has not been extended. Lifting up the mast
with retracted crawler might overturn the machine. This can cause personal
injury to operator and damages to the machine itself.
ATTENTION! Lift up the mast ONLY after rotary has been moved to the lowest position
and perforating kelly bars are moved for half of their length down the mast (rotary
should be in the middle of Kelly bars).
To fall rotary down until the lowest position use manipulator 24 to activate pull-down
cylinder.
Do not insist lifting up the mast if the above listed indications have not been
followed since the drilling machine can be damaged.
ATTENTION! Make sure main winch and auxiliary winch’s wire ropes are slackened and
not tight while lifting up the mast. If wire ropes are tight while lifting up the mast,
slacken them with manipulator 10 (main winch ropes’ rise and fall) and manipulator 19
(auxiliary winch ropes’ rise and fall).
To continue lifting up the mast use simultaneously manipulators 21 and 22 (right and left
mast’s lifting up cylinders). If mast does not lift up, activate accelerator manipulator 8, if
necessary push it to its maximum power (…also until the fine maximum race). After
starting lifting up the mast effectively, lifting up speed can be reduced using the same
accelerator manipulator 8.
While continuing the mast lifting up, main winch’s wire rope tightens. To prevent Kelly
bars from hitting the ground, move Kelly bars up using manipulator 10 (main winch
ropes’ rise and fall) until they are lined up with the mast.
Trive S.r.l. 29
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Auxiliary winch’s wire rope has to remain slackened for the whole mast’s lifting up
operation.
Once the mast has been lifted up, check mast’s perfect vertical/perpendicular position by
the inclination measuring tag (inclinometro) and if needed, adjust mast’s inclination using
alternatively manipulators 21 and 22. When you have reached mast’s perfect vertical
position, tight auxiliary winch’s wire rope and get close to the place where the hole has to
be drilled.
Check again perfect mast’s vertical position and, if needed, adjust mast’s inclination
using alternatively manipulators 21 and 22.
Bring kelly bars’ square joint near to the tool’s female square joint using manipulators 24
(upper frame rotation), 20 (boom lifting up) and 10 (main winch’s wire rope rise and
fall).
Insert Kelly bars’ square joint within tool’s female square joint using manipulator 10
(rotary’s right and left rotation) and fix it with the specific pin.
Bring the tool above the hole and lower it until it touches the ground using manipulator
10 (main winch’s wire rope fall).
Check ground’s stability and consistency where the crawler lies. During kelly
bars’ lifting up to spin the soil off the machine presses itself down the ground to
perform this operation adding a considerable amount of further “weight” to
machine’s weight itself. If the ground falls during this operation, machine’s
balance can be compromised causing machine overturn and possible personal
injury to operator and damages to the machine itself.
Once the tool is ready on the ground, select rotary speed using buttons 1 and 26. Make
sure spie di scarico veloce 28 and 29 are off. Start drilling using manipulator 10 (rotary
rotation) and, depending on the tool you are using, use also pushing cylinder (cilindro di
spinta manipulator 24) to help drilling operation.
To spin soil off, stop the rotary rotation by releasing manipulator 10 (rotary’s right and
left rotation), lift up the tool with Kelly bars using manipulator 10 (main winch’s rise).
When perforating tool is completely out of soil release manipulator 10 and activate
manipulator 24 (upper frame rotation) to bring the tool above discharging area. To
quickly spin soil off activate buttons 28 and 29 and activate again manipulator 10 (rotary
rotation) anticlockwise.
Trive S.r.l. 30
Operation & Maintenance Manual
When loading or unloading the machine on/from track, always keep accelerator
manipulator to its minimum power necessary to perform the loading and
unloading manoeuvres. Sudden and unexpected machine movements during
these operations might compromise machine’s balance and cause accidents.
Load the machine with retracted crawler, mast brought down, prolunga inferiore del
traliccio ripiegata and rotary to its lowest position. For an illustrative figure see paragraph

Different types of fuels can be used for diesel engines. Two main categories of fuels
exist: “preferred” and “allowed” fuels.
Trive S.r.l. 34
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Preferred fuels guarantee engine’s longest life cycle and best performances. Preferred
fuels are the distilled ones. These fuels are commonly called diesel fuels, combustible oil,
gaseous oil or kerosene.
Allowed fuels are crude or mixed oils. The employ of these allowed fuels can result in
higher maintenance costs and shorter engine’s life cycle.
Diesel fuels matching the characteristics listed in the following table help guaranteeing
longest engine’s life cycle and a better performance. The table refers to diesel fuels
distilled from crude oil. Diesel fuels coming from other sources might have characteristics
different from those indicated below and might damage the machine.
Turbidity point Turbidity point must not overcome the expected minimum
temperature
ATTENTION! Using fuels which do not satisfy the above listed requirements can cause:
- difficulties in starting the engine;
Trive S.r.l. 35
Operation & Maintenance Manual
- inefficient combustion;
- sediments on fuel injectors;
- reduction of components’ life cycle;
- sediments on combustion chamber;
- reduction diesel engine’s life cycle.
ATTENTION! To avoid damaging the engine NEVER add coolant to an overheated engine.
always wait the engine cools down.
ATTENTION! With cold weather condition, check frequently specific gravità specifica della
soluzione di raffreddamento to guarantee a suitable protection.
ATTENTION! Refilling cooling circuit with refilling speed-rate higher than 20 litres/minute
might cause air pockets.
After draining and refilling cooling system, start engine and let the machine idles senza il
tappo di riempimento until coolant reaches standard running temperature and coolant
level normalizes. Make sure coolant keeps its proper level.
ATTENTION! Never start or run engine without thermostats in its cooling system.
Thermostats guarantee coolant keeps its proper standard running temperature.
Many engine’s breakdowns are caused by cooling system. The following engine’s
problems are due to the cooling system: overheating, water pump’s leaks, blocked
heater exchangers or radiators, damaged cylinders’ pipes.

5.3.2. Water
ATTENTION! All caterpillar engines require a minimum of 30% glycol to avoid water
pump empties and possible air might come in.
Water Requirements
5.3.3. Additives
Additives help protecting cooling system’s metallic surfaces. Additives’ lack or shortage
cause the following problems:
- corrosion;
- formation of mineral sediments;
- rust;
- scales;
- erosion and pittatura per cavitazione delle canne;
- foam formation;
Many additives exhaust during engine running. These additives must be periodically
replaced/refilled. This can be done adding supplemental additive to coolant or anti-freeze
fluid for diesel engines or adding Extender to long-lasting coolant.
Additives must be added with a proper chemical concentration level. Exceeding in
additives chemical concentration might cause the solution inhibitors’ precipitation.

5.3.4. Glycol
To obtain best performances Trive suggests the employ of a mix of 1/1 water/glycol.
ATTENTION! All diesel motors equipped with a postraffredatore air/air (ATAAC) require a
minimum of 30% glycol to avoid water pump cavitazione.
Use a mix which guarantees protection at the minimum expected temperature. Pure
glycol at 100% will freeze at -23°C temperature.
The majority of coolant/anti-freeze solutions for heavy work contain ethylene glycol. It is
possible to employ also propylene glycol. Both ethylene and propylene glycol in a mix 1/1
with water guarantee an equal protection from boiling and freezing.
See following tables:
Ethylene Glycol
Do not use propylene glycol for concentrations with more than 50% glycol since
propylene glycol is not so good for transferring the heat. Use ethylene glycol under
particular conditions requiring additional anti-freeze and anti-boiling protection.
Propylene Glycol
To check glycol concentration use coolant/battery tester 1U-7298 (Celsius degrees). The
tester provides immediate and details results, it can be use both for propylene and
ethylene glycol.

Operation & Maintenance Manual
Certification system for engine lubricant approval to which this manual refers is API
(American Petroleum Institute). All engine lubricant oils having API symbol mean they
are API certified.
Diesel engine lubricants’ performances are analysed and classified by the American
Petroleum Institute. This API classification has been realized to supply information on
lubricants which are on the market suitable for a wide range of diesel engines working on
different conditions.
For Trive machines use these lubricant oils:
Multi-grade oil EMA LRG-1 (preferred oil)
Multi-grade oil API CH-4 (preferred oil)
Multi-grade oil API CG-4 (preferred oil)
Multi-grade oil API CF-4 (acceptable oil)

To define quickly and correctly the exact spare parts needed it is necessary to
communicate to Trive staff:
- Machine model
- Serial number
- Machine fabrication date
- Spare part code
Machine model and serial number are written in the product identification plate in the
cabin.
To find spare part’s code number use the following illustrative figures and the matrix at
the end of each paragraph. In order to facilitate spare part’s identification the whole
machine has been divided into five components’ sub-groups: Rotary Group, Mast Top
Group, Main Winch Group, Auxiliary Winch Group, Hydraulic System Group.
