Hazard Signal Words


Hazard signal words are used throughout this manual. They appear in the
narrow left-hand column of numerous pages and, with their additional text
description, are intended to alert the reader to the existance and relative
degree of a hazard.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury and death.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not


avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not


avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not


avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially


hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Draw Works – Sub Frame Module


Contained in this module are the dual acting mast raising cylinders ,wireline
hoist, mainline hoist, and mast swivel mounting blocks.
The wireline hoist is powered by a fixed displacement Geroler motor which
incorporates counter balance valves to prevent hoist overrun.
The mainline hoist is also powered by a fixed displacement axial piston with
a counter balance valve to prevent hoist overrun. In addition, the mainline
hoist features a spring applied, hydraulically released brake and an internal
Sprag bearing mechanism which ensures the mainline hoist drum must be
hydraulically powered to unlock the drum (i.e. the load cannot drive the drum
ahead of the hydraulic motor).

Rotation Unit Module


The PQ rotation unit module is powered by a variable displacement, bent
axis, hydraulic motor. This is connected through an adapter box and splined
coupling to a 4-speed mechanical transmission (4 forward speeds). The final
drive of the rotation unit is through heavy duty, straight cut gears which rotates
the main spindle.
Boart Longyear’s patented PQ gas spring chuck is used to transmit the rotary
power of the drill head to the rod string. The chuck opens to allow oversize
reaming shells and bits to pass through the spindle. The bolt on chuck design
allows for reverse rotation to break rod joints. The chuck has seven jaws
which are applied through nitrogen gas springs for a superior axial holding
force.

BOART LONGYEAR Drilling Operations 4-2

Introduction
The following are recommended guidelines and practices to help
prolong the life of your newly obtained Boart Longyear mast.
Enclosed is a checklist for a visual inspection which should be done
every 1000 hrs of operation. (Inspections may have to be done more
often when operating in extreme environmental conditions.) Make
copies of the checklist for each inspection. The checklist should be
signed and filed for future reference.

Safeguards:
Operator shall be familiar with the equipment and its proper care. If
adjustments or repairs are necessary, or if any damage is known, the
operator shall report the details promptly to an appointed person and shall
notify the next operator upon changing shifts.
In the mast erecting and lowering operations, ensure that the drill is securely
anchored first. A slow practical operating speed should be used during this
function at all times.
There is no way of judging the remaining strength of a rusty cable, therefore,
rusty cable lines must be replaced immediately. Areas adjacent to end
connections should be examined closely for any evidence of corrosion.
Design modifications or welding to the mast weldments is prohibited. These
modifications could result in weakening of the mast members and therefore,
possibly causing a structural failure later.

BOART LONGYEAR Drilling Operations 4-3

Routine checks should include:


• Inspection of welds in erecting mechanism for cracks and other signs of
deformity.
• Inspection of wire rope, including operating lines, raising lines, and guy
lines, for kinks, broken wires, or other damage. Make certain that guy
lines are not fouled.
• Check unit for level and correct placement before erecting operation.
• Check lubrication of crown sheaves.
• During drilling operations, it is advisable to make scheduled inspections
of all bolted connections to ensure that they are tight. 48 hours after the
initial erection of the mast, check the bolts for correct torque.
• Ensure that the Load Rating and Warning decals are installed on the
mast and are in good shape.
• Steel becomes brittle when operating in low temperature conditions.
EXTREME CAUTION must be exercised when operating at or below -
25°C (-13°F) as the mast may no longer hold the rated load. Frequent
visual inspection of mast members and welds is even more critical at
these temperatures, see page 8.
• Ensure support legs are located on a solid footing and tied back to a
solid anchoring point.

Never exceed the Rated Hook


Load, which is indicated on the
Load Rating decal. When
calculating hook load, always
include load handling devices YY - MM - DD

(travelling blocks, etc.)

securely anchored.

Unconsolidated Overburden
The most expeditious means of securing the LF90 in unconsolidated
formations is to use twin anchor logs cemented and buried in the ground
with chain or wire rope attached to them, protruding to the surface. The
chain or wire rope can then be passed through the lifting eyes on the four
corners of the drill base and the entire machine “cinches” down onto
supporting timbers.
1 Dig two trenches 10 ft (3 m) long and 3 ft (1 m) wide in front of and behind
the drill. These trenches should be a minimum of 3 ft (1 m) deep.
2 Into each trench place a log (minimum 10" (25 cm) diameter, preferably
hardwood in good condition) or alternately, 3 old 10 ft (3 m) HQ drill rods.
Ensure that log or rod bundle Securely fasten enough 3/8" (1 cm) diameter chain or 5/8" (16 mm) wire

4 Cement the log or rod bundles into position with enough grout mixture to
cover the layer of rocks and boulders. Backfill and compact the soil into
the trenches and restore the site to a level condition. Allow 12 hours for
the cement to cure.
5 Position some 10" X 10" (25 cm X 25 cm) timbers longitudinally under
where the drill base levelling jacks will be positioned.
6 Place the drill on the timbers and run additional 3/8" (1 cm) chains through
the two front and two rear lifting lugs on the drill base. Attach each chain
to one free end of the chain or wire rope protruding from the trenches
(which is attached to the cemented log or rod bundle) and tension the drill
down with a come-along style winch, turnbuckles, etc.
The chain or wire rope must be adequately pretensioned so that it is
immediately effective in transferring load. This tensioning can be verified
by applying a load to the midspan of the cable and measure the deflection
perpendicular to the cable. For a 17" (432 mm) rope, a deflection of 1/4"
(6 mm) under a 150 lb (68 kg) force will indicate that the required preload
of 1000 lbf (454 kg) is present.

Alternate Anchoring Methods


8 If the drill site is particularly hard and difficult to dig, an alternative pattern
of anchoring the drill can be used. This involves burying three hardwood
logs (minimum diameter of 10" (25 cm), and in good condition/not rotting)
just below the earth’s surface, cross ways at 90° to the final positioning of
the drill.
A 10' (3 m) HQ drill rod with attached chain should be positioned beneath
and at 90° to the buried logs, with the chain end of the rod at the mast end
of the drill. The anchor chain should be tensioned back to the base at an
angle to prevent the drill pushing itself off line when high bit loads are
applied on angle holes.
Ensure the drill is level in both directions and the levelling jacks
have been securely clamped into the drill base.

(16 mm) wire rope attached . The chain or wire rope should be long enough
so that 5' (1,5 m) protrudes after the trench has been filled.
Place one piece of rod and chain or wire rope in each of the four (4) outer
corners of the trench, beyond the levelling jacks. Fill the trench with
concrete, covering the pieces of rod and chain or wire rope to surface
level, and keeping the protruding chain or wire rope ends free.

The collar area for drilling vertical holes should be kept clear of concrete.
Allow 12 hours for the concrete to cure. Next, position two (2) 10" x 10"
(25 cm x 25 cm) timbers longitudinally under where the drill base levelling
jacks will be positioned. Place the drill on the timbers. Use additional 3/8"
(1 cm) diameter chain or 5/8" wire rope around each of the outer four (4)
corners of the drill base. Attach each chain or wire rope to the free end of
the chain or wire rope protruding from the concrete and tension the drill

Ensure the location of any obstacles at the rear of the drill will not be in
the way of all proposed drill hole angles.
10 Alternatively, if the drill site is heavily forested, the LF90 can be anchored
to the base of sturdy, healthy trees in the immediate area. Once again,
the machine should be anchored so that the drill will not push itself off the

Mast Installation and Raising


1 Prior to starting the machine, ensure the drill is level, and firmly supported
by the four levelling jack legs (i.e. not resting on the wheels if these are
left on the base).
If there is any doubt that some weight may be on the tyres, remove them
to ensure the four levelling jack legs are supporting the drill in a level
manner. If necessary, use timber planks under the levelling jack legs.
2 Add the required mast sections (i.e. upper and middle, or upper only) and
make sure they are firmly secured with their respective mounting bolts.
3 Attach the cable between the centralizer plate pivot rod and the rod guide
actuating lever on the lower mast.
4 Route the mainline hoist and wireline hoist cables through the sheave
wheels of the crown block assembly, making sure to replace the cable
retaining spacers and bolts.

5 Secure the overshot and hoisting plug, if connected (or mainline hoist
and wireline hoist cables) to the mast, to prevent them from falling during
the raising operation.
6 Start the drill as described in the previous section and position the head
over the mast pivot blocks.
7 Loosen the four bolts on the mast swivel mounting blocks (do not
completely unscrew, loosen only two turns).

9 Prior to raising the mast, make sure that all hoses, fittings, and cables are
free and will not get caught on anything during the raising operation.
10 Slowly begin to raise the mast by moving the mast raising control lever
forward, sending oil to the mast raising cylinders, and causing the mast to
raise.
Raising the mast should be accomplished in a gentle, smooth fashion.
Avoid jerky and erratic stop and start motions.
Once mast raising has commenced, under no circumstances should
any person (or part there of) get under or perform any work in that
area until the mast raising is complete (as detailed in this section)
and the tower is firmly secured by the mast support legs.
During the raising operation, double-check that no hoses, fittings,
or cables are hanging up or getting caught.
11 Continue to raise the mast until it is in the vertical position.
As the mast nears the vertical position, the resultant action changes
the mast raising cylinder geometry. As the mast breaks over center
it causes an acceleration in the mast travel speed. Because of this,
reduce the raising speed when nearing vertical to allow the mast to
come to a smooth, gentle stop.

13 Once the mast has broken over center and is in the vertical position,
release the outside mast support leg (i.e. furthest away from the control
panel) from its retaining bracket on the lower mast section and position it
in its respective bracket on the rear of the drill base.
14 Secure the clamping jaw firmly.
15 Once the mast is firmly supported in a vertical position by the outside
mast support leg, remove the inside mast support leg from its retaining
bracket and position in its respective bracket on the drill base (do not
tighten the clamping jaw set screw).
16 Next loosen the outside mast support leg clamping jaw set screw.
17 Restart the diesel engine and place the mast to the desired drilling angle
by slowly moving the mast raising control valve forward to lower the mast.
18 Once the desired angle has been reached return the mast raising control
valve to the neutral position, firmly secure the outside mast support leg
clamping screw and locknut before doing the same to the inside mast
support leg clamping jaw.
19 Tighten the four mast pivot block bolts.

BOART LONGYEAR Drilling Operations 4-18

Collaring the Hole


If the LF90 drill is supplied with a rod clamp, clamp a short (2 ft) section of
casing in the rod clamp to use as a guide bushing, to help collar the hole.
(For example, if the hole is to be collared with NW casing, use a short
section of HW casing in the rod clamp as a guide.)
Ensure that the top of the casing being used as a guide is even with the top
of the rod clamp to prevent interference with head travel. Once the hole is
collared the guide casing may be removed.

When collaring larger diameter holes (HW size and up) the foot clamp slips
will have to be removed and a casing guide bushing can be bolted under the
rod clamp casing positioner weldment. Take care to start the casing slowly
to minimize any hole misalignment as the drilling progresses.

(Actual equipment may not be exactly as shown)

Casing Guide Bushing


The bores of these bushings are very close to the O.D. of the particular
casing string that is being used to collar the hole (ie. BW, NW, etc.). The
casing guide bushing is designed to stabilize the casing string and maintain
hole alignment. The casing guide bushing should be used throughout the
entire casing run.
The casing should be firmly seated into bedrock before reducing to the coring
system that will be used. As both the casing guide bushing and casing adapter
collar are designed to be used together, operators should follow the
procedures outlined in this section to ensure the drill is set up correctly.

Force on Diamond Bit


The force exerted on the diamond bit while drilling is approximately equal
to the weight of the rods plus the down force exerted by the hydraulic feed
cylinder.
Measuring the weight on the bit requires two different pressure readings.
1 Suspend the rods a short distance above the bottom of the hole with the
rods rotating.
2 With the fine feed control valve closed, engage the fine feed directional
valve to the feed down position.
3 Note the pressure reading on the bit weight gauge, The gauge will read
the maximum pressure that can be exerted on the bit.
4 Slowly open the fine feed control valve. As the bit contacts the rock at
bottom of the hole the reading on the bit weight will reduce. The difference
between the suspended rod pressure and the reduced pressure reading
with the bit in contact with the rock at the bottom of the hole while drilling
is called the “OFF PRESSURE”.
NOTE: 5 The OFF PRESSURE, when multiplied by the effective area of the hydraulic

Shutdown Procedure
1 If the drill string is rotating, close the fine feed valve and allow any drill
string compression or stretch to “drill out”. You will notice the bit weight
gauge needle begin to rise as the weight comes off the bit.
2 Return the fine feed selector to neutral (center position) and close the
feed rate control valve.
3 Lower the diesel engine rpm to about half, then wind the rotation speed
control counterclockwise to reduce the drill string rpm. Next, feather the
rotation control level back to neutral making sure the mechanical lockout
is in position to prevent the lever from going into reverse.
4 Use the fast feed lever to raise the drill head to break the core and pull the
bit at least 12 in (30 cm) off bottom.
5 Retention the winch cable and apply the mainline winch brake.
6 Allow the fluid pump to flush the hole for about 5 minutes before turning
the water pump control completely clockwise to stop the fluid pump.
7 Reduce the diesel rpm and allow the unit to idle for 5 minutes. This is very
important. It allows the turbocharger sufficient time to slow down prior to
stopping the engine.
8 Press down the ignition switch toggle switch to stop the diesel engine.

If an emergency shutdown
is required, depress the

Minimum displacement adjustment procedure


The minimum displacement of the motor is factory set and should not need
to be adjusted. How ever, if the motor minimum displacement does come
out of adjustment use the following procedure to reset the minimum
displacement.
• Run drill until hydraulic oil is at operating temperature and then lower
drill head until it bottoms out using fast feed.
• With the engine at 2200 rpm and the rotation lever in the neutral position,
engage 1st gear and turn the rotation speed knob clockwise until it stops.
• Using a photo tachometer adjust the minimum displacement screw until
the head turns at 199 rpm.
- Loosen jam nut with 3/4 inch wrench and adjust displacement with
1/4 inch Allen key.
- Clockwise to lower speed, counter clockwise to raise speed.
- Tighten jam nut and make sure speed has not changed.
• Disengage rotation and slow engine before shutting off engine.

Maximum displacement adjustment procedure


The maximum displacement of the motor is factory set and should not need
to be adjusted. How ever, if the motor maximum displacement does come
out of adjustment use the following procedure to reset the maximum
displacement.
• Run drill until hydraulic oil is at operating temperature and then lower
drill head until it bottoms out using fast feed.
• With the engine at 2200 rpm and the rotation lever in the neutral position,
engage 1st gear and turn the rotation speed knob counter clockwise
until it stops.
• Using a photo tachometer adjust the maximum displacement screw until
the head turns at 122 rpm.
- Loosen jam nut with 3/4 inch wrench and adjust displacement with
1/4 inch Allen key.

BOART LONGYEAR Hydraulic Explanation 5-45

- Counter clockwise to lower speed, clockwise to raise speed.


- Tighten jam nut and make sure speed has not changed.
• Disengage rotation and slow engine before shutting off engine.

Rotation speed control range adjustment


The speed control range adjustment is factory set and should not need to
be adjusted. How ever, if the speed control range adjustment does come
out of adjustment use the following procedure to reset the speed control
range.
• Run drill until hydraulic oil is at operating temperature and then lower
drill head until it bottoms out using fast feed.
• With engine off disconnect the B side hose from the motor and cap and
plug the open ports.
- The plug and cap will need to resist primary pump pressure.
- Use a suitable container to capture the oil that runs out of the open
ports.
• Start engine and set speed to 2200 rpm, and engage full forward rotation.
• Turn the rotary pressure gauge display to position 3.
• Adjust the rotation speed knob on the DO3 manifold valve until the rotary
pressure gauge reads 190 psi.
• Using a photo tachometer adjust the motor speed control range until
the head speed just starts to decrease.
- Break off tamper proof cap if still installed.
- Loosen jam nut and adjust speed control range with Allen key.
- Counter clockwise to raise speed, clockwise to lower speed.
- Tighten jam nut and make sure speed has not changed.
• Disengage rotation, slow engine before shutting off engine, and reconnect
the B side motor hose.

A6 Feed Cylinder
This cylinder is double acting and is used to move the head up and down
the mast. The rod side of the cylinder is fed through the hollow rod. The oil
enters the rod side of the cylinder from the hollow rod through a passage
near the piston. The base side is fed through a smaller tube within the
hollow rod. The tube separates the rod side oil from the base side oil and
passes through the piston into the base side cylinder volume. The manifold
threaded onto the rod end of the cylinder contains a pilot operated check
valve that locks the base side oil when the drill rig is off.
No adjustments required.

A12 Jack Cylinders


These four cylinders are used to level the drill rig. Each cylinder has a pilot
operated check valve to lock the base side oil in the cylinder until oil is
forced into the rod side. Each cylinder also has an external manual locking
pin which acts as a back-up cylinder lock in the event of a cylinder seal or
pilot operated check valve failure. Note, leveling of the drill rig is controlled
manually by manipulating the auxiliary valve. The drill rig does not auto
level.
No adjustments required
If jack cylinders have been removed for shipping, reassemble the jack legs
and hydraulic plumbing as per the parts manual.

A13 Mast Extend Cylinder


This cylinder is double acting and is used to extend or retract the telescoping
section of the mast. The rod side of the cylinder is fed through the hollow
rod. The oil enters the rod side of the cylinder from the hollow rod through
a passage near the piston. The base side is fed through a smaller tube
within the hollow rod. The tube separates the rod side oil from the base
side oil and passes through the piston into the base side cylinder volume.
No adjustments required.

Head Slide Wear Bars


Field Maintenance Check and Adjustment
As the head slide wear bars wear down, the head movement will increase to
a point where replacement shims (p/n 100172) 0.015" and 0.018" (0,38 mm
and 0,45 mm) should be used to correct head movement.
Depending on the wear pattern or location, the shims can be used as is (full
length) or cut into shorter sections in order to fill gaps that may occur between
wear bars and lower mast slide surfaces.
This will maintain head positioning and extend the service life of the wear
bars.

PQ Head Drive Group


The PQ Head Drive Group is situated on the lower mast section. This drive
group consists of a two-speed variable displacement bent axis hydraulic
motor, a four-speed mechanical transmission, a 2:1 drive ratio gear box with
a straight cut gear set, PQ Chuck, and high pressure filter.
The final drive of the rotation unit is through the 2:1 gear box out to the
spindle. The PQ Chuck is used to transmit the rotary power of the drill head
to the drill string.

To check the maximum or full


level when the spindle is not
rotating, the oil level should be 1”

PQ Head Disassembly Procedures


It is recommended that the head assembly be disassembled in a shop
environment. Overhead lifting capabilities are required to move and
support the PQ Head.

1 Remove the chuck — refer to the chuck disassembly instructions.


2 Drain the head and transmission of oil. This can be accomplished by
removing a return line hydraulic hose from the transmission. The position
of the drill feed frame will determine which hydraulic return line to remove.
3 Remove the head unit from the drill before starting to disassemble the
unit.
4 Place the head on a solid work table and block it up to support it. Lay the
head down so that the spindle is horizontal to the work table.
5 Remove all hoses, fittings, gear shift lever, etc., from the head (all external
components).
6 Remove the chuck — refer to chuck disassembly instructions.
7 Remove the mounting group brackets and/or bulkheads.
8 Remove the four bolts which hold the rotation motor assembly. The motor
is siliconed to the transmission and will have to be prised off to break the
seal.
9 Support the transmission, preferably with the aid of a crane and sling
arrangement. Remove the six mounting bolts that secure the transmission
