8. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
The Safety Precautions listed are intended
to make all personnel aware of the hazards
while working on or near this equipment.
All personnel must use common sense and
a good working practice while operating
and maintaining this equipment. These
safety precautions listed are of a general
nature and cannot cover every possible sit-
uation:
h. Always wear approved hard hat, safety
shoes, safety glasses, nose mask, and ear
protection when near a drifter in operation.
Page 2, Section 2, IM6099ENG
Failure to wear approved safety equipment
could result in bodily injury.
i. Do not attempt to operate the drifter unless
you are thoroughly familiar with all the
drilling machine gauges, controls, and
functions. Refer to the section of the
drilling machine instruction book for
detailed instructions. Failure to comply
could result in bodily injury.
j. Keep hands, arms, legs and clothing away
from all moving parts. Failure to comply
could result in bodily injury.
k. The drifter, striking bar, couplings, drill
steels and bit are hot during the drilling
operation. Do not touch these parts with
your bare hands. Wear gloves to protect
your hands when you are changing bits or
steels. A severe burn will result if rotating
parts are touched with bare hands.
l. Keep all hose connections tight. A loose
hose connection not only causes leaks and
poor performance, but may also allow the
hose to come off the drifter, whip around,
and injure the operator or other people in
the area.
m. Make sure that the parts--cleaning solvent
is non--flammable, and will not harm the
skin, meets current safety and health
standards, and is used in a well ventilated
area.

This section provides a description and
specifications for the Pneumatic Drifter
Model VL140 (hereafter referred to as
drifter).
15. DESCRIPTION.
The drifter is a 5--1/2 in. (140mm) bore,
valveless, hammer drill that incorporates
an independently controlled, gear--type,
air--powered rotation motor to rotate the
drill steel and bit.
The drifter is designed for use on
CRAWLAIR Drilling Machines and for
surface applications with a chain--feed
mounting on any type of fixed or mobile
drilling machine. It is capable of drilling
2--1/2 in. (64mm) to 4 in. (102 mm) diame-
ter holes in all types of rock formations.
dently controlled, gear--type, air--powered
rotation motor. This heavy--duty 3 h. p. mo-
tor is mounted on top of the drive gear cov-
er at the lower end of the drifter. The rota-
tion motor is independently controlled and
is designed to provide continuous drill steel
rotation. The operator controls the speed
and direction of rotation (conventional for-
ward L. H., neutral No Rotation, or reverse
R. H. from a remote control manifold.
16. SPECIFICATIONS.
Tables 1 through 5 list the specifications for
the drifter.
17. LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS.
The following paragraphs outline the
lubrication requirements for the drifter.
Tables 6 through 8 list the specification for
the lubricant.

 mum performance in all types of rock drill
equipment. These oils exceed the oil speci-
fications listed in Table 6.
The rock drill oil used in the air line lubrica-
tor must be a well refined petroleum lubri-
cating oil. It must be suitable compounded
to provide the specified consistency and
film strength, and be further compounded
to provide the specified steam emulsion
number, which is required to provide satis-
factory lubricant. Though the composition
of the “film strength” additive is not speci-
fied, it must be non-corrosive to both steel
and bronze, and contain little or no sulphur.
Ingersoll-Rand Rock Drill Oils are formu-
lated to provide maximum performance in
all types of rock drill equipment. Use Table
7 for selecting the correct viscosity grade to
meet your requirements and Table 8 for
selecting the correct rock drill oil part num-
ber.
19. DRILL STEEL THREAD LUBRICANT.
It is very important that the threads of all
striking bars , drill rods, couplings and bits
be properly lubricated and cared for at all
times. Proper lubrication will result in lon-
ger life and will simplify threading and un-
threading drill rod joints.
Use a good molybdenum di-sulphide type
thread grease such as (Ingersoll-Rand Drill
Steel Lubricant) or equivalent. (Refer to
PL6024 “Parts List for Pneumatic Drifter
Model VL140” for part numbers.)

b. Unscrew the chuck jaw bolt (70) and re-
move the locking lug (71) from the fron-
thead (62).
c. Remove the jaw retainer (75) from the
fronthead (62).
It is very important that all threaded acces-
sories be properly lubricated and cared for
at all times. Proper lubrication will result in
longer part life and will simplify threading
and unthreading of all connections. Make
sure that all threads are clean and free of
dirt and coated with a high pressure grease
(Ingersoll--Rand Drill Steel Lubricant) or
equivalent each time they are coupled or
stored.
d. Coat the striking bar with clean oil and
insert the shank end of the striking bar in
the fronthead (62), meshing the striking bar
splines with the splines in the chuck (72).
16. DRILL STEEL CARE.
e. Re-install the locking lug (71) and jaw
retainer (75) to secure the striking bar in the
fronthead.
13. DRILLING PROCEDURES.
Detailed operating and drilling instructions
are covered in the operation section of the
drilling machine instruction book.
To ensure maximum operating efficiency,
the following suggestions should be ob-
served.
a. Never pound on stuck steel. Nothing is
accomplished thereby and the drifter and
bit may be permanently damaged in the
process.
b. Never strike the drifter with tools.
c. Every effort must be made to keep dust
and dirt from entering the drifter. Prevent-
ing impurities from entering the drifter pays
off in improved operation and reduced
down--time for repairs.
d. Always be sure the drifter front end
parts are well lubricated. Oil must be de-
tected on the striking bar for proper rotation
component lubrication. Adjust the oil res-
ervoir so that the striking bar always shows
an oil film. Refer to drilling machine instruc-
tion manual for time intervals for checking
oil reservoir. Keep the lubricator well sup-
plied with oil at all times.
e. Always keep the drifter aligned with the
drill steel and hole. This assures straight
and true holes that go in fast. Most impor-
tantly, this prevents unnecessary wear and
damage to the drill.
f. Always use the centralizer to guide the
drill steel during the drilling operation.
a. It is very important that the threads of
the drill steel be properly lubricated and
Page 3, Section 4, IM6099ENG
 cared for at all times. Steels having
stripped threads, cracks, or severe galling
must not be used. Also, care should be
taken while drilling not to bend steel or gall

stresses and accelerates wear on all fron-
thead components. Bent steel and severe
thread galling can be avoided if the follow-
ing steps are taken:
1. Be sure that the steel is bottomed in
the striking bar, couplings, and bit.
2. All threads must be in good condi-
tion and well greased.
3. Always drill with a sharp bit (no more
than 1/8 in. [3.175mm] flat on carbides).
Dull bits cause excessive pounding and
unnecessary stresses on all threads
and drifter fronthead parts.
4. Approach the rock at reduced feed
pressure, position carefully, and collar
hole. Once the bit is collared in rock, full
feed pressure may be applied.
5. Always keep sufficient feed pres-
sure on the steel system. Insufficient
Page 4, Section 4, IM6099ENG
feed pressure will cause joints to loosen
and threads will be damaged.
6. Always maintain alignment be-
tween the drifter and the hole.
For long bit life, the instructions as listed in
Paragraph 16 covering “Drill Steel Care”
must also be applied to the bit. In addition,
the following steps must also be taken:
a. Never allow the bit to become plugged
with loose cuttings. Blow the hole continu-
ously.
b. Never force or broach the bit into a hole.
c. “Rattle” bits from drill steel using the
drifter hammer action with light feed pres-
sure and no rotation. Use a Stillson or bit
wrench to remove the bit. Never strike the
bit with a hammer.
d. Bit carbides should never be allowed to
flatten any greater than 1/8 in. (3.175 mm)
between regrinding intervals.
