2.4 General system description

2.4.1 Wagon frame with track frames
The diesel engine, chassis, dust collector, hydraulic system, air system and boom
system are mounted on the wagon frame.
The wagon frame comprises a frame with operator's cab mounted on the left.
Controls for tramming and drilling are installed in the operator's cab.
The track frames are carried on journals in the chassis frame. When tramming on
uneven ground the drill rig is balanced by means of two compensating cylinders.
Each track frame has its own service brake. The brakes are operated by two
separate control systems.
The bodywork covers the diesel engine, the compressor, the various lubrication tanks,
the valves and the hydraulic hoses. Inspection covers allow easy access to the
various machine components. The covers are secured in the open position by
means of gas springs.
The dust collector is mounted at the back of the rig on the right-hand side.

2 General
2.4.2 Power pack

The hydraulic drill rig is powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine.
The diesel engine is equipped with a monitoring system that includes automatic
shutdown functions.
The drill rig is driven by two traction motors with gears. The traction motors with gears
are mounted on the track frames.
The hydraulic pumps and the compressor are driven by a diesel engine.
2.4.3 Exhaust filtering - Tier4 Final engine

Tier4 final refer to a set of emission requirements mandated by legislation in several
markets. Regeneration is a process that burns the soot with the aid of after treatment
system which cleans the exhaust emission. Tier4 final is equipped with a system that
injects DEF (Diesel engine fluid) into the machine’s exhaust system. By means of a
chemical reaction, this fluid dramatically reduces the amount of harmful nitrogen
oxides (NOx gases) the rig releases into the atmosphere.
2.4.4 DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) - Tier4 Final engine

Tier4 final is equipped with a system that injects DEF (Diesel exhaust fluid) into the
machine’s exhaust system. By means of a chemical reaction, this fluid dramatically
reduces the amount of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx gases) the rig releases into the
atmosphere.

2.4.5 Boom system

The boom system consists of inner/outer boom bodies, boom head, feed holder and
associated hydraulic cylinders. The boom system is controlled by directional valves
for positioning the feed with the rock drill at different distances and directions.
2.4.6 Dust collector

The hydraulically driven dust collector features automatic cleaning and consists of a
filter unit, pre-separator, suction fan and suction hose.

The Engine Monitoring System (EMS) unit has yellow warning lamp (1) and red
shutdown lamp (2) available for system diagnostics. These diagnostics can be used
for system troubleshooting. The digital display (3) shows engine parameters. When
the EMS receives a fault code from the engine control unit, the digital display will
show “Active Fault Codes” message, and the corresponding warning lamp comes
on. When the EMS receives a severe fault code from the engine control unit, the
digital display will show the “Shutdown!” message, and the corresponding shutdown
lamp comes on. The engine monitor has four buttons using self-calibrating charge
transfer activation technology, which eliminates the concern for push button wear and
failure. In addition, operator can navigate the display with ease.

5.3.11 Auto drilling system

ASD (Advanced Smooth Drilling)
ASD system consists of smooth drilling system, anti-jamming system and air flow
switch function. This system can proportionally control pressures of percussion, feed
and rotation depending on the rock conditions. Thus it makes it possible to perform
drilling according to the rock types. Using this system can achieve better drilling
straightness, extend machine’s service life, and enable faster drilling.
ASV (Anti-jamming Smooth drill Valve)

ASV system consists of smooth drilling system and anti-jamming system. It controls
percussion pressure and feed direction according to the rotation pressure and feed
pressure.
Smooth Drilling
When hitting a void zone, a fault zone or soft formation with clay content, feed
speed or pressure changes. The percussion pressure decreases automatically
so that the machine can keep drilling without breaking down hole walls
excessively. It prevents empty percussion, extending accessory life.
Anti-jamming
When hitting a fault zone or soft formation with clay content during drilling, rotation
pressure increases and it may result in jamming. Once rotation pressure exceeds
the preset pressure, the system switches the feed direction automatically in order
to prevent jamming, at the same time the feed pressure and impact pressure
decrease.
Air flow switch

This function is also for anti-jamming protection. When hitting clay zone content
during drilling. Bit holes are going to be clogging and flushing air becomes insufficient,
which may result in jamming. The air flow switch, sensing the air flow, can be used to
check if the bit is clogged. This flow switch will activate automatically when feed
reverse occurs.

1 DPF Lamp (Regeneration lamp)

Diesel particle filter (DPF) lamp notifies the operators that the after treatment system
has not auto regenerated at the required time limit and requires an exhaust system
cleaning. Need assistance from operator to regenerate within the next several hours of
engine operation.
2 HEST lamp
The high exhaust system temperature (HEST) Lamp indicates the increase of exhaust
system temperature due regeneration. This lamp also illuminates during a manual
(non-mission) regeneration.
3 Regeneration disabled (inhibit) lamp
This lamp indicates that regeneration inhibit switch is active, therefore automatic and
manual (non-mission) regeneration cannot occur.
4 Regeneration initiate switch
This switch initiates a manual (non-mission) regeneration of the particulate filter when
the machine is non-mission condition and DPF soot levels are high enough to allow
generation. HEST lamp will be illuminated during the entire generation. Regeneration
should be prioritised when the warning is shown.
This switch will not the start the regeneration of the particulate filter if the soot levels are
not high enough to allow generation.
5 Regeneration disabled (inhibit) switch
This switch disallows any automatic or manual (non-mission) regeneration of the diesel
particulate filter. This may be used by operator to prevent regeneration when the
machine is operating in a hazardous environment and high temperature. If this switch
is activated, the automatic regeneration will be prevented.
6 DEF lamp
The diesel exhaust fluid lamp (DEF) indicates that the diesel exhaust fluid is low and
must soon be replenished. The warning from the DEF lamp would escalate in
intensity as the reducing agent level approaches empty and cannot be turned off
without replenishment of the reducing agent.
•This is the first warning to the driver that the reducing agent is low. The Diesel
Exhaust Fluid lamp will be solid.
•This is the intermediate warning to driver if the reducing agent is not replenished.
The Diesel Exhaust Fluid lamp will flash.
• Red lamp is the final warning to the driver that the reducing agent is low, before
inducements start to kick-in. This warning activates as soon as the system has run
less than 30 minutes, following the depletion of the DEF tank.
Once the DEF tank is empty and a key cycle has occurred or after an extended idle
operation. The machine power will be reduced. The Diesel Exhaust Fluid lamp will flash
and the Red STOP lamp is solid.
7 Override switch
The override switch allows the operator to override any inducement derate, except final
inducement, for a period of time (30 minutes) and for number of times (3). If engine is
stopped caused by this after treatment system, this switch can be started engine for
emergency evacuate about 30 minutes.

7.3 Setting up for drilling
WARNING
• Risk of tipping.
• May cause severe personal injury and damage to
property.
• Always check the ground conditions where the rig
shall be maneuvered.
• Keep the track oscillation cylinders locked during
setting-up for drilling.
• Do not maneuverer track oscillation in locked
position.
• Do not raise the front section of the track frames
with boom/feeder.
• The angles for Downward/Upward/Lateral, specified
in Technical data, must NOT be combined.
• Do not exceed the tilt angles, see Technical data.
• Note the gradient meters' values.
• Never operate the drill rig from the downhill side.
• Close the cab door and always use the safety belt.
• Make sure that unauthorized personnel are not in
the working zone.
CAUTION
• Use the feed extension cylinder to apply a down
force on the feed.
• Applying an excessive down force on the feed by
using the boom lift cylinder may cause the bending
of the feed and/or the mounting pipe.
99
7 Before drilling
1 Tram the machine to the desired location.
2 Level the drill rig as close to horizontal as possible with the track oscillation in
UNLOCK position.
3 Place both right and left oscillation control switches in the LOCK position.
4 Move the rock drill back so that the drill bit is retracted inside the dust hood.
5 Position the feeder to the required position for drilling.
6 Place the feed spike firmly on the ground.
7 When vertically drilling, use feed extension cylinder to lift the tracks off the ground
to a position so that there is clearance under the first track roller.
- This applies enough weight on the feed to prevent it from “kicking” out while
drilling.
8 Position the feeder to the required position for drilling.

- Check that the suction hose has no sharp bends or has been crushed and
that it can be supported in the correct way.
100

22 Once the bit is out of the hole, operate the feed and rotation control to NEUTRAL
or OFF position.
102
8.2 Checks during drilling

Monitor drilling performance and pay particular attention to the points below:
Should anything out of the ordinary occur, stop drilling and clear up the trouble or ask
service personnel to investigate.
Rock drill:
• Abnormal impact hose vibration.
- Check the pressure in the rock drill accumulators.
• Make sure oil drop timing at lubricator site glass.

- Oil flow rate should be set to 30 drops every minutes.
• Abnormal leakage from the rock drill.

105
8.5 Changing drill bit
WARNING
• Moving parts.
• Risk of personal injury, clothing can be trapped.
• Stop drill rotation when changing bits.
Note
Never start percussion with the drill bit free without any resistance.
1 Operate the feeder until the spike is approximately 10 cm (4 in) from the rock.
2 Make sure that the drill control lever is in NEUTRAL position.
3 Move the drill bit forward until it is pressed against the rock.
4 Activate on high percussion pressure for several seconds.
5 Stop percussion, when the drill bit has loosened. If the percussion pressure is
engaged for too long then the drill steel can be detached from the shank adapter.
6 Unscrew the old drill bit by hand and replace with a new one.
8.6 Action in case of drilling problems
8.6.1 Drilling problems

If the following trouble occurs during drilling:
• Hot coupling sleeves (loose coupling sleeves).

• Difficulties in uncoupling the coupling sleeves.
• Hole deflections
• Drilling through overburden
• Drilling with water in the hole
106
8.6.2 High coupling sleeve temperature
Note
Coupling sleeve temperature must not exceed 120 °C (248 °F).
1 Excessive coupling sleeve temperature is indicated by:

- a. Measuring with a thermometer
- b. Oil dripping from the rock drill vaporises on the coupling sleeve
- c. The coupling sleeve changes color.
2 Depending on the layers of the rock, temperature can vary even within a small
area. High coupling sleeve temperature is usually due to a poor relationship
between drill feed pressure, percussion pressure and rotation pressure. The fol-
lowing solutions are recommended to reduce coupling sleeve temperature.
- a. Check the condition of the drill bit. An over-worn drill bit gives less torque in
the coupling sleeve.
- Grind the drill bit.
- b. Change to a drill bit with ballistic buttons.
- c. If the rock is too hard for ballistic bits, then
- Reduce rotation speed as much as possible without causing the drill string
to rotate jerkily
- Check the drill feed pressure and set it to the recommended value.
- Reduce percussion pressure to below the basic setting [ 0.5 - 1MPa (5 -
10bar, 73 - 145psi) ]. A reasonable reduction in penetration rate must be
accepted.
- d. Check and/or adjust damper pressure so that the shank adapter is in “float
position”.
8.6.3 Difficulties in loosening the coupling sleeve

The best method of loosening the coupling sleeve is to “drill” the last few centimeters
without feed pressure and rotation, leaving percussion active for a few seconds to
break loose the coupling sleeve.
Note
Do not use rattling for a long time. It makes drop the bit easily. To avoid dropping the
bit, use forward rotation.
107
8.6.4 Hole deflection

1 Try to drill with as low feed pressure as possible.
2 Check the condition of the drill bit.
3 Drill the first drill steel with reduced drilling for at least half of the drill steel in order
to minimize hole deflection at the start of the hole.
8.6.5 Drilling through overburden

When drilling through overburden, there is a risk of blockages in the suction hose and
suction hood due to the concentration of heavy and dense material.
If a blockage occurs, shut down the dust collector and remove the suction hose from
the suction hood outlet, let the heavy and dense material fall out of the suction hood
and remove any blockages from the cushion hose manually.
8.6.6 Drilling with water in the hole

If continual water is coming in the hole, stop the dust collector. If water is not noticed
in the hole and filters become clogged with dust and water, then remove the filters
and allow them to dry.
8.6.7 Water mist system operation (Option)
WARNING
• Open the drain valve to release internal air pressure
inside the tank.
• Ensure all pressure is release before opening the
filling valve for filling.
1 Make sure that the water mist tank is filled with water and detergent mixture.
2 Open the water mist flow control valve located near the compressor tank.
3 Turn on the water mist system switch.
