COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
ECM-585 DRILL Description
The ECM-585 is a track mounted, deck engine powered drill, designed primarily for
construction and quarry applications.
The standard ECM-585 uses a diesel engine coupled directly to a hydraulic pump on one end.
The air compressor is directly connected to the other end of the engine. The power pack is
mounted on the main frame which in turn is mounted to the track frame.
The hydraulic system that consisted of pilot controlled Modular Valves does not require
complicated electronic controls, plus the hydraulic system requires a reduced fuel
consumption.
The drill’s boom has a maximum horizontal swing of 42º right and 3º left and a maximum
vertical movement of 60º up and 14º down. The boom’s drifter travel is 13 ft.11 in. (4250 mm).
All functions are controlled from inside the cabin.
Drilling is easier using two arm-mounted hydraulic pilot joystick controls. Full-flow hydraulics
for boom and guide positioning provide smooth, responsive movements for quicker setup
between holes. Productivity-enhancing features include one-position synchronization and
single lever, single movement rod changer for quick handling of drill steel.
The tramming control is using one lever hydraulic pilot joystick control and contains a full
compliment of gauges which can be read in US and Metric.
Form No. 5137 1-13

To permit optimum performance on a wide range of applications and site requirements, this
ECM-585 Drill is equipped with:
• 270 CFM Rotary Screw Ingersoll-Rand air compressor

• Cummins QSB 5.9-30-T Series diesel engine
• Montabert HC109RP drifter with Reverse percussion
• Montabert Auto Drilling System (PAJ)
• Automatic rod changer
• Segmented and uniformed Hydraulic hoses
• Right hand side toe hole
• Cold weather features
• Extendible boom
• ROP’S & FOP’S cab with air conditioner
Engine
The ECM-585 Drill uses a water cooled engine with direct injection and turbo chargers. Electric
starting and belt driven alternator battery charging is standard on all ECM-585 models. The
ECM-585 Drill is equipped with dual system air filtration. Dry type 2-stage air cleaners provide
clean air to the engine and the compressor. The engine power / rpm is controlled by the engine
speed control. The engine is shutdown either by the removable key “ON/OFF” switch or the
emergency stop switch.
Drill Frame
The ECM-585 Drill is based a Drill Frame which supports the power pack assembly (engine/
compressor/hydraulic pump drive) transported on a dual oscillation track system. The frame is
more than sufficient to resist flexing as the drill is moved over rough terrain while anchoring a
drill boom as it drills at a variety of angles making this drill one of the most diversified on the
market.
Drill Boom and Guide

The Drill Boom and Guide features a hydraulically driven drifter and a hydraulic drill feed
systems. The feed system consists of fully staked chains which are controlled with separate
fast and slow feed controls that can be adjusted to suit rock conditions and operator
preference. An experienced driller will use this feature to extend the life of drilling accessories.
The auto drilling system installed on machine also matches percussion power and feed to the
rock to optimize penetration rate and accessory life, as well as ensures high-quality straight
holes as well as an experienced driller’s operation.
The Drill Boom and Guide assembly also contains the automatic rod changer allowing quick
and easy rod changes, increasing drilling productivity. The hydraulic drifter moves easily up
and down using a managed hose arrangement that reduces cost and makes maintenance
easy.
1-14 Form No. 5137

Controls
All drilling functions are controlled from inside the cabin of the ECM-585 Drill.
The operators cabin is designed for operator comfort and utilizes excavator type controls with
the drilling and drill controls mounted in the armrests of the seat.
The drill tram control mounted in the side operate box with a hydraulic pilot joystick control.
All controls are designed for convenience, ease of control, comfort and safety while providing
maximum visibility of the work area. Full details of all controls are provided in later chapters.
Serviceability
The engine, compressor and hydraulic pump drive are accessible from either side of the drill.
All daily checkpoints are positioned to encourage preventive maintenance. In addition, the
pilot operated hydraulic controls increase reliability and simplify troubleshooting. Segmented
and uniform hydraulic hoses are intelligently routed to increase life and reduce costly
downtime.
! DANGER
Your life may be in danger if the following is not complied with: DO NOT
add attachments to the drill that intrude into operator’s protective area,
reduce visibility, restrict emergency exits or add weight exceeding
certification weight. See the operator’s manual or contact your dealer for
complete inspection requirements and maintenance instructions.

The Engine Monitoring System (EMS) unit has Yellow Warning Lamp (1) and Red Shutdown
Lump (2) available for system related diagnostics. These diagnostics can be used for system
troubleshooting and information.
Beneath the warning lamps is located a digital display (3) for engine parameters.
When the EMS receives a fault code from an engine control unit the digital display will be
replaced with the "Active Fault Codes" message and the corresponding warning lights up.
When the EMS receives a severe fault code from an engine control unit the digital display will
be replaced with the "Shutdown!" message and the corresponding shutdown lamp lights up.
Beneath the warning lamps is located a digital display (3) for engine parameters.
The Power View has four buttons using self-calibrating charge transfer activation technology,
which eliminates the concern for push button wear and failure. In addition, operators can nav-
igate the display with ease.
– Menu Key - The Menu Key is touched to either enter or exit the menu screens.
– Left Arrow - The Left Arrow Key is touched to scroll through the screen either
moving the parameter selection toward the left or upward.
– Right Arrow - The Right Arrow Key is touched to scroll through the screen either
moving the parameter selection toward the right or downward.
– Enter Key - The Enter Key (also known as Enter Button) is touched to select the
parameter that is highlighted on the screen.
When powering up the machine and the ignition key is in the ON position, the EMS system
will undergo an automatic self test. While executing this internal test, the display will indicate
a visual indication of all the digits to the operator and show that the panel is, or is not, prop-
erly functioning, at the same time the warning lamp lights up.
The Warning and Shutdown lumps indicate the following message: (Refer to next page)

2. Engine Speed Control Switch

The engine speed control switch has 3 positions:
1. Turn the engine speed control switch to the " = LOW " position - the engine rpm
will operate at low idle speed 1200 rpm.
NOTE
When you start or stop the engine, be sure to set the engine speed control
valve in position " = LOW ".
2. Turn the engine speed control switch to " = HIGH" position when the engine will
operate at high idle speed up to maximum 2300 rpm. Select position " " whenever full
power is required for compressor, drilling, long distance tramming, spin turn and main-
tenance service duties.
3. Turn the engine speed control switch to the position " = DRILL" before starting
drilling, and the engine rpm will change from 1800 rpm to 2300 rpm.
If the mode selector lever (7, refer page 5-14) is moved to one of the air flushing posi-
tions, the engine rpm will automatically increase up to maximum 2300 rpm, and falls
down to 1800 rpm when the flushing air demand is stopped.
