1. Hydraulic Oil Tank This tank holds the hydraulic fluid. It is also part of the frame and has several components mounted on it. One of these components is the electrical or manual pump used to fill the tank. 2. Suction Line The suction line goes from the tank to the pump. There is a ball valve near the tank when space permits, which can be closed to keep the oil in the tank while changing the pump. 3. Pump and Drive Assembly The variable displacement piston pump supplies pressure to the load sensing hydraulic system. It is driven by an electric motor with a flexible coupling or by diesel engine. 4. Discharge Line The line goes from to the pump to the high pressure filter and then continues to the various control valves. 5. Return Manifold All return lines are connected to this manifold, which forces the oil through the filter and then back into the tank. 6. Control Circuits The tramming, set-up, rotation and feed circuits are described in the Section 2.4 and their operations are explained in Section 3.0 and 4.0.

2.4 Controls
Tramming Controls Two spring return valves actuate drive motors turning the drive sprockets. The left valve actuates the left sprocket and the right valve actuates the right sprocket. The tramming valve automatically disengages the brakes when tramming is required. With the electric/hydraulic controls tramming may be done from the tram step or from the set-up panel (See Fig.2.16). The valve may also contain outrigger and cable reel sections.

The tram levers are spring activated and will return to neutral when released. This stops the track motion. Also the load sensing components of the hydraulic systems maintains the torque on the tracks at a constant level. The brakes are always on except when the tram levers are operated allowing the hydraulic oil pressure to release the brakes. On models with electric/hydraulic controls, tramming controls are also found with the set-up controls on the articulating swing arm.

3.2 Set-Up
Set-up or mast positioning has five distinct phases and are as follows: I. Slide-over II. Dump III. Swing IV. Feed Extension V. Stinging These actions are controlled from the set-up panel Fig.2.10. 3.2.1 Slide-over The slide-over Fig.3.3 refers to the lateral (right-left) movement of the mast assembly. It allows drilling close to walls without repositioning the drill. It also makes final positioning of the mast over the hole much easier. The slide-over action is done by the slide-over cylinders that move the slide plate with actuator from side to side. These slide plates are retained on two cylindrical slides of the slideover assembly. The slide-over switch on the set-up panel Fig. 2.3. is pushed right to move right and pushed left to move left. The total slide-over movement on Cubex 6200 drill is 30" (762mm).
Figure 3.3
26
3.2.2 Dump
The mast dump refers to the movement of the mast assembly from the horizontal position to 15 past the vertical position Fig. 3.4. This allows drilling of angled holes and is used in conjunction with the mast swing. The dump action is done by two dump cylinders. The dump switch Fig. 2.3 is pushed up to extend the cylinders and thereby rotating the mast forward to vertical. The switch is pushed down to rotate the mast backwards to horizontal.
Figure 3.4
27
3.2.3 Swing
The mast swing refers to the 360 horizontal rotation Fig. 3.5. This allows drilling of angled holes in conjunction with the mast dump. The swing action is done by the rack and pinion movement in the actuator. The action of the swing switch Fig. 2.3 determines whether the mast moves clockwise or counter clockwise.

3.2.5 Stinging
Mast stability is increased by extending the stinger cylinders Fig. 3.7 until they contact the rock face. The upper and lower stingers operate independently and may be used simultaneously. The upper stinger switch Fig. 2.3 is pushed up to extend the cylinder and pushed down to retract. The lower stinger switch operates the lower stinger in a similar fashion. The stinger movement on a 10-foot mast is shown below.
Figure 3.7

3.3 Drilling
Once the drill is trammed to its proper location and the mast is set up with the proper drilling angle, the operator controls the actual drilling from the drilling control panel. However, the water, oil and air delivery systems have to be in operation before drilling. These systems employ controls that are used in conjunction with the controls on the panel. This section describes these controls and operating sequence.
3.3.1 Start up
To start the drill, controls on the electrical panel are operated in the following sequence: 1. The main circuit is turned to the "ON" position. This switch will automatically trip when the amperage exceeds a pre-determined setting. 2. Turn off the main circuit immediately if the phase reverse light comes on. This indicates that the wiring is incorrectly connected. Call an electrician to correct the problem. 3. The lamp test/reset button is pushed to check that warning lights are working. Replace the lights that fail to light. 4. Push the start/stop switch to start the electric motor. The power on light will illuminate. Refer to section 2.1.3 figure 2.6 for details of electrical panel. The remaining indicator lights and switches on the electrical panel are for monitoring the drill operation. When they are lit up they indicate the following: Motor O/L Light indicates that the motor is overloaded. Phase Reversal Light indicates an improperly wired power supply. Note: The electric motor will shut down, or will not start if any of the above indicators are lit and call the electrical maintenance personnel to repair the problem.
31
At the top left on the electrical panel is the digital voltmeter that reads the voltage across the 3-phase line selected. The 3-phase selector switch is below. To the right of the voltmeter is the digital ammeter, which reads the amperage across the 3-phase line selected with the 3-phase selector switch. The voltmeter and ammeter are used in trouble shooting the electrical system.

3.3.3 Drilling
This section describes the controls used in drilling. Air Switch turns the flushing air on and off by energizing the air valve actuator. Feed Lever actuates the feed cylinder to engage the top drive. This lever is pushed forward to move top drive down. This brings the drill bit down the hole and in contact with the rock for drilling. Pull the lever back to move the top drive up and lifting the drill string out of the hole. Pull Down Valve sets the pressure applied to force the top drive down. This force applies pressure to the drill bit. Hold Back Valve is used to relieve part of the weight of the drill string while drilling. It improves drilling accuracy, steel bit life and drilling control. Water Switch controls the flow of water down the hole. Emergency Shut Down Button shuts down the drill immediately. Start Button starts the motor from the drilling panel.

4.1.3 Set-Up
The mast may be positioned for drilling holes in a vertical, horizontal or angular position and this is done as follows: 1. Move the mast to the proper position where the drill hole is required using mast slide-over. 2. Move the mast to the proper vertical or horizontal position by moving the slide over dump. 3. Move the mast to the proper "Side to Side" angle position using the mast swing. 4. When the mast is positioned, use the feed extension to bring the mast into contact with the drilling surface. Note: The mast feed extension keeps the foot of the mast in contact with the ground or the sidewall during drilling. Wood cribbing may be required under the foot and stinger to stabilize the mast. Also wood cribbing may be required to level the drill from side to side. 5. If possible, use the Mast Stinger Cylinders and set the stinger rod ends against the back and bench.

200 ---10
= 20 rpm
The above is recommended as a starting point and optimum RPM with maximum bit life is determined in the field. Usually the operating RPM falls within 5 RPM of the suggested speed as shown above.
38
Incorrect drilling weight will result in the following: 1. Loss of air pressure in the tool. 2. Erratic tool behavior such as rattling or missing. 3. Reduction in penetration rate. To exert the proper force on the tool, increase the pull down pressure until the tool sounds steady and the penetration rate is at the maximum. Then increase the hold backpressure until the tool begins erratic behavior. Then increase the pull down pressure until consistent tool operation is noticed. A reduction in hydraulic force is required for each drill pipe that is added on a down hole. When the desired weight on the bit is obtained, the operator should take note of the values on the pressure gauges.
39
A major problem encountered in air drilling is the seepage of small amounts of formation water into the hole. After drilling through the seepage zone, the drill cuttings will mix with the water and will create slurry, which adheres to the drill pipe and hole wall. This "collaring" or "bridging" results in the loss of circulation. The injection of 2 - 5 gpm (8 - 20 l/min.) of water wets the cuttings and washes them out of the hole. See drilling Procedures for proper operation of the water injection system.
CAUTION: when operating the pipe arm, make sure that there are no personnel are near the pipe arm.
The following functions are available using the ERIS control station: Arm in / Arm out (LX on joystick) Clamp Open / Clamp Closed (LY on joystick)

4.3.6.2 Hammer Removal Procedures using Breakout Wrench If the hammer needs to be disassembled, use the top drive's power to loosen the top sub and driver sub connections before removing the hammer (See Fig. 4.2.9 to Fig. 4.2.10). The procedure is as follows: 1. Position the hammer so that the flats on the top sub are aligned with the slip plate. 2. Pull the slip switch on the control panel to engage the slip plate with the flat on the top sub. 3. Pull the rotation lever to reverse the top drive. Allow it to rotate slowly until the drive shaft thread is loose from the hammer. Re-tighten the thread by hand. 4. Push the slip switch to disengage the slip plate. 5. Raise the top drive and hammer until top of the piston case is just above the level of the breakout chain and cylinder. 6. Connect the chain wrench to the piston case so that the top sub joint can be broken by the breakout cylinder. Connect the pipe wrench to the top sub and swing wrench handle against the mast for backup. 7. Push the breakout switch on the panel to extend the breakout cylinder until the joint is broken loose. Note: Stand clear when breaking the joint to avoid possible injury in the event the chain breaks. 8. Remove the pipe wrench and chain from the hammer. 9. Raise the top drive and hammer until the bit is just bellow the drilling table. 10. Retract centralizer jaws. 11. Pull the slip plate in and clamp bit with centralizer jaws. 12. Use the chain wrench and breakout cylinder to the driver sub from the piston case. 13. Remove the chain wrench from the piston case. 14. Hold the top sub by hand and slowly reverse it to unscrew it from the drive shaft. Make sure that the top drive is moved up to prevent thread damage. Note: During hammer removal, cover the drill hole to avoid losing of any parts down the hole.

14. Make sure that the guide bushing is still on the hammer. 15. Lubricate the drive sub threads with thread compound and screw it into the piston case. Consult the hammer manufacturers specifications for the required makeup torque. 16. Raise the hammer with the top drive until the bit is above the slip plate. Then retract the slip plate. Note: Each time the bit is removed, examine the shank for damages. Also check the splines for proper lubrication. Look into the end of the hammer to inspect the striking face of the piston for wear. When changing any bits, be sure that the gauge diameter of the replacement bit is not larger than the one it replaces. This prevents pinching of the bit in the existing hole.
50
51
4. Close the slip plate to engage the flats on the drill pipe by pulling the slip switch back. 5. Pull the rotation lever back and rotate the top drive in reverse slowly to break the thread joint. Note: This operation breaks (loosens) the threaded connection only, leaving the pipe still attached to the top unit. Do not allow the drive shaft to rotate more than 60. 6. Open the slip plate on the pipe by pushing the slip plate forward. 7. Raise the drill string using the feed lever until the flats on the next drill pipe are aligned with the slip plate. 8. Pull the slip switch and close the slip plate to engage the pipe. 9. Push the splined piston switch forward to engage the spline piston into the end of the drill pipe. Note: The splined piston must be fully engaged. Rotate the drive shaft slowly while listening for the piston to snap into place. CAUTION: The splined piston may be damaged if the drive shaft is rotated too quickly. 10. With the splined piston engaged in the first pipe, reverse the top drive. This operation unscrews the bottom connection between the first and second drill pipe. Make sure the top drive is being moved up as the connection unscrews. The float in the top drive mounting plate should be used to prevent thread damage. 11. Cover the pin connection on the drill pipe with a wood block or metal cup to guard against thread damage or foreign matter. 12. Pull the splined piston switch to disengage splined piston. 13. Unscrew the loosened drill pipe from the top drive. CAUTION: The splined piston should be engaged only when breaking out a pipe using the reverse rotation. Never rotate the drill string in forward rotation (drilling) with the splined piston engaged.

4.4.2.3 Adjusting Flow Rate The maximum setting (flow of grease) is achieved with the adjustment screw backed all the way out (Counter clockwise). Setting for a 4 Hammer: To set the flow of grease for a 4 hammer, which is approximately 0.3 quarts of grease per hour you must set the adjustment screw to 30 percent of maximum adjustment. Loosen locknut see Figure 4.4.3.3. Turn adjustment screw in clockwise with a wrench until it stops (approximately 12-1/2 turns if the adjustment screw is backed all the way out). Note: Be careful not to over torque the adjustment screw. It should take minimal force to turn the screw clockwise. This will be the minimum injection setting. Turn the adjustment screw counter counter-clockwise 4 turns. Lock in setting on adjustment screw with locknut.
Setting for a 6 Hammer: To set the flow of grease for a 6 hammer, which is approximately 0.7 quarts of grease per hour you must set the adjustment screw to 70 percent of maximum adjustment. Loosen locknut see Figure 4.4.3.3. Turn adjustment screw in clockwise with a wrench until it stops (approximately 12-1/2 turns if the adjustment screw is backed all the way out). Note: Be careful not to over torque the adjustment screw. It should take minimal force to turn the screw clockwise. This will be the minimum injection setting. Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise 9 turns. Lock in setting on adjustment screw with locknut.

Note: The top drive may have to be raised to get the weight off the slip plate before the slips will open. 14. Turn on the air and activate the feed down to resume drilling. CAUTION: Do not jam the bit against the bottom of the hole which could damage equipment. 15. Increase the weight on the bit and adjust the rotation as outlined in Section 4.3.1. 16. Continue drilling until the top drive base plate contacts the mast stop. 17. Repeat steps 9 to 13 to add additional length of drill pipe. 18. Each time a drill pipe is added, use the full power of the Top Drive to tighten the threads. Increase the Holdback pressure by 12 psi for each additional pipe section added when using 3-1/2" (90mm) diameter pipe. Note: Excessive weight on a drill bit will increase the torque, which increases the rotation pressure. This may create a jerky rotation. The holdback pressure gauge also indicates the hoisting pressure (force) when pulling the drill string from the hole.

In a situation where the ground is broken or cracked to such an extent that it is impossible to create enough returns (drill hole cuttings) to form a collar, clay from the track frames or cuttings from nearby drill holes can be put down the hole. This will enable enough 'paste' to be formed, with water injection, to seal the cracks in the ground and create collar. In circumstances where there is large volume of ground water, 'Collar Piping' may be required. 'Collar Piping' involves drilling through the initial broken stages of the hole with large enough diameter bit to enable the required length and diameter poly pipe to be hammered into the hole. The larger bit can then be replaced with one of the original diameter (bit must obviously be smaller than I.D. of poly) and the feed rail correctly aligned over the hole. The whole collaring process can be applied to any broken or cracked ground that may be encountered throughout a drill hole. 4.4.4.5 Hole Deviation A MAJOR CAUSE OF BREAKAGE OF DRILL CONSUMABLES IS HOLE DEVIATION It is imperative that while drilling there is no or only very slight deviation in the hole. As well as placing a great deal of added stress on the drill string, deviation will have an adverse effect on blasting. The burden from the toe of a hole that has deviated, to other surrounding holes can be significantly higher. Correct collaring techniques will help to ensure there is no 'run-off'. Method of combating hole deviation is 'centre-punching' and feathering the feed through any broken or cracked ground. The collaring circuit should be always engaged when drilling through broken ground. The resultant reduction in feed and impact pressures while the collaring circuit is engaged will help to reduce run-off. Therefore, it is good practice to leave the collaring circuit engaged until the bit is well into the fresh rock, especially when drilling angle holes. If the hole has deviated after collaring then the feed rail needs to be lifted off the hole and small adjustments made so as the rods are central and the drifter is square to the hole. If deviation in the hole becomes too great the operator should consider pulling out and starting another. Too much feed pressure will also increase the likely hood of hole deviation or run-off. Drilling with too little feed pressure however will cause 'chattering' in the drill string which in turn will cause breakage of consumables. Hole deviation can also make it difficult to uncouple the rods. If this occurs the feed rail again needs to be lifted and re-aligned with the hole to allow the threads to be un-wound.
66
4.4.4.6. Adjusting Drill Pressure and Monitoring the Machine For clay and soft rock, feed and impact should be adjusted to lower pressure settings and increased for harder rock. The aim in the adjustments of pressures should simply be to facilitate smooth drilling and maximize penetration rate by: -Minimizing heat in the drill string -Eliminating 'under/over feeding' -Minimizing rotation pressure. Rotation flow should be increased in softer rock/decreased in harder rock indicated by penetration rate. Bit size also needs to be considered when adjusting rotation flow. A larger diameter bit will require substantially reduced the rotation. The cuttings should be constant size and not fine. The pressure should be minimized while drilling and any substantial increase indicates either jamming situation or hole deviation. Excessive heat in the drill string is always the first indicator that the rotation speed is too high. The gauges on a drill bit will also wear out quickly if the rotation is too fast. The cuttings also will be very fine through the bit 'double striking' on the bottom of the hole. Clay or soft ground may facilitate the need for lower feed pressure. To maintain the correct differential between feed and impact (hammer) pressures and to avoid shortened hammer seal and consumable life, impact pressure needs to be lowered accordingly. To maximize penetration rate in solid rock, higher impact pressure is required. To maintain the correct differential between impact and feed pressures and to prevent 'under-feeding' feed pressure needs to be raised accordingly.
67
4.4.4.7 Feed Pressure 'Under Feeding' is a particularly common and bad practice on LH1 drill rigs. Feed pressure must be kept to the bit at all possible times while impact is being utilized. 'Free Hammering' and 'Under Feeding' can shorten the life of both drill consumables and hammer seals. 4.4.4.8 Bit and Rock Blockages If the bit blocks while drilling, an attempt to unblock the bit down the hole can be made by rattling the rods (breaking out) and/or by feathering the feed. If this is unsuccessful within a couple of minutes, pull the rods out to avoid jamming and unblock by rattling the bit on the ground. If this is still unsuccessful it is likely the blockage has gone up into the rod. To clear the rod it should be rotated out of the bit and flushing air turned on. The rod should be then clear itself, which enables the bit to be cleared. The bit should never be rattled on or through the centralizers. Monitoring of the machine is critical at all times. Monitoring the machine gauges is especially critical for those unfamiliar with the drill. Increases in air and/or rotation pressures indicate developing blockage and/or jamming situation. 4.4.4.9 Hole Blockage The operator should obviously listen very closely to the machine while it is in operation. An experienced operator can pick minute changes in sound while drilling and what they signify. Care should be taken when there are any changes in sound while drilling indicating changes in ground conditions and adjustment in pressures made accordingly to prevent blockage or jamming in the hole. If returns from the hole start to decrease the operator should immediately reverse the feed and turn impact off to clean the hole. In the event that there is blockage in the hole the operator should first try and envisage what is happing down the hole and what is causing the obstruction. There are a number ways to free up the rods and clear the obstruction specific to blockage situation. As general rule if the rods are still able to be rotated then it should be always possible to retrieve the rods. The system that can be applied in a lot of blockage situations is to feather the reverse feed with impact off and rotation on relatively fast. The operator must be patient in this scenario and try not to put excessive force on to the reverse feed. This process can be done with the flushing air or off until the rod are free. Water injection can also be used in particularly bad jamming situations to help loosen the blockage behind the bit. If the process of reversing the feed with rotation on, back through broken ground can be achieved with the flushing air off it will help preserve the quality of the drill hole. The operator should then attempt to 'collar' the broken section of ground with the use of air and water. As mentioned in the section on collaring it is good practise to reduce the volume of flushing air used
68
whenever the bit is being retracted back through any areas of broken or fractured rock. If full flushing air is used in this situation it can have the effect of loosening the rock and forming a cavity down the hole, which in turn can be difficult to hold up (or 'collar'). Maintaining full flushing air when attempting to retrieve jammed rods without getting any returns (cutting) from the drill hole, can also have the effect of creating excessive air pressure in the hole. As a consequence the obstruction in the hole is compacted and retrieval of the rods is made more difficult.

4.5.3 Lubrication
The lubrication schedule must be followed to achieve proper performance and to reduce costly down time. See the instruction in Section 5.
71
72
Your Cubex drill is equipped with feed mounted safety shutdowns. In the event of an emergency, either cable can be pulled to shutdown drill power and rotation instantly.
73
Functionality: When the cable is pulled in any direction along its length the switch is tripped and power is cut to the electric motor on the unit. The 24 volt power to the drilling functions is cut at the same time providing immediate stopping of the rotation and feed. The drill will not start until the shutdown switch or switches are reset. Operator Checks and Maintenance: The Safety Shutdown System should be tested each time before drilling by the operator to ensure that it is functioning properly. Maintenance personnel should inspect the system as part of a regular maintenance schedule to ensure proper functionality.

Section 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
If the performance is lacking, action must be taken to correct any problems. The operator is expected to be able to repair minor problems that are within his/her responsibilities. Any problem beyond that must be repaired by certified maintenance people. This section is intended for the use of the operator and a more detailed Troubleshooting Guide can be found in the Maintenance Manual. It is the operator's responsibility to report any apparent problems to the maintenance personnel.
CRAWLER DOES NOT MOVE AND TRAMMING MOTOR DOES NOT RUN 1. Check items 3,4 and 5 as above 2. Check for track adjustment being too tight. Adjust tracks to proper tension. 3. Check for damaged parts in the tram drive and the final drive gearbox. 4. Check if tram motor is running. 5. Check for Tram lockout valve blockage
CRAWLER DOES NOT TRAM STRAIGHT 1. Check if both torque hubs are engaged.
83
PUMP IS RUNNING HOT 1. Check for any function stuck open system pressure at no load should be 400 psi.
CAVITATION OR PUMP NOISE 1. Check for air leaks at the pump intake or shaft packing. Pour oil on joints and around drive shaft then listen for change in operation. 2. Check for proper oil viscosity.
INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE 1. Check for proper oil level in reservoir. 2. Flow may not meet system demands due to system leakage system. 3. Pumps standby pressure set to low.
84
4. Pump maximum pressure set to low. SLOW ROTATION AT TOP DRIVE 1. Check for low pump delivery (See "Pump not delivering oil"). 2. Check for malfunctioning of hydraulic motor. 3. Check maximum rotation pressure
NO ROTATION AT TOP DRIVE ASSEMBLY 1. Check for hydraulic motor malfunctioning. 2. Check for damaged gears or bearing. 3. Check for pump flow (See "Pump not delivering oil").
SLOW OR NO FEED 1. Check for low pump delivery (See "Pump not delivering oil"). 2. Check for oil insufficient pressure. 3. Check pull down relief valve for high setting. Pull down pressure must be approximately 100 psi (6.9 bar) higher than hold back pressure. 4. Check for high setting of hold back relief valve. 5. Check for internal leaks in feed cylinder. 6. Check for binding in top drive mounting plate. 7. Check reverse drilling valve is in proper position.
MAST DOES NOT ROTATE 1. 1.Check for restrictions in set up control valve by removing hoses. 2. 2.Check for collapsed hydraulic hose to actuator. 3. 3.Check main pressure in hydraulic pump.
85
ACTUATOR ALLOWS MAST TO MOVE AFTER BEING SET 1. Check for bypassing of directional control valve. Inspect the valve spool. 2. Check for damaged counterbalance valve cartridge.
CAVITATION PROBLEMS Cavitation occurs in the pump when the cylinders do not fill completely with water during the suction stroke. This condition creates a pressure pulsation, which may damage the pump and equipment if not repaired immediately. 1. Check for proper diameter of water supply line. This line must be the same or larger than pump suction plumbing. 2. Check for air leaking into the suction system by tightening fittings and inspecting hoses. 3. Check for weak or worn plunger packing. Partially worn plunger packing may draw air on the suction stroke but these may not leak during the discharge stroke creating a similar condition as in cavitation. NO WATER DISCHARGE 1. Check for restrictions in the suction line. 2. Check if suction line valve is closed.
86
EXCESSIVE PUMP NOISE 1. Check for loose suction line connection. 2. Check for over speeding of pump. Reduce the flow to the hydraulic motor by adjusting the flow control valve.
AIR SEEPAGE FROM AIR EXHAUST WHILE PUMP IS NOT WORKING 2. Check for leaking inlet valve.
LOSS OF PRESSURE, VOLUME OR CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF PUMP WHEN NOT IN NORMAL USE 1. Check for foreign particles on the piston seat or on the ball of the foot valve. 2. Check for damaged piston or foot valve. 3. Check for scorn pump tube wall and replace if required.
EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF AIR IN LUBRICANT OR EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT IN AIR EXHAUST 1. Check air leakage at gland packing, gland gasket, O-ring and U-cup packing. Note: Some lubricant in the exhaust air is required.
87
COMPRESSOR DOES NOT UNLOAD 1. Check for restrictions in the air supply. 2. Check for cracks in unloader line. 3. Check for sticking of unloader valve. 4. Check for plugged pilot valve filter. 5. Check for broken intake valve. 6. Check for worn seals or unloader plunger.
NOISY VALVES 1. Check for loose retainers by removing and inspecting them. The copper gasket must be replaced when reinstalling them. 2. Check for broken Intake valve spring or fork.
88
SHORT VALVE LIFE 1. Check for low air pressure in the mine line. It might be necessary to reduce the number of equipment drawing air from the mine line. 2. Check for foreign matter in the mine air filter. Replace or clean the mine filter. 3. Check for excessive oil consumption, which would create carbon build up. This condition may indicate that the compressor requires an overhaul. 4. Check for rapid loading and unloading of compressor. This may require resizing of choke in hammer to suit the air supply. 5. Check for compressor Over-speed to insure that the drive sheaves are the correct size for the type of hammer being used.
LOW OIL PRESSURE 1. Check the oil lever 2. Check of proper operation of pressure gauge. 3. Check if correct oil type is being used (See lubrication specs).
89
SYSTEM DOES NOT START AT NEW LOCATION AND "PHASE REVERSAL" LIGHT IS ON 1. Reverse power connection by switching the leads. Note: This repair is to be done only by a qualified electrician.
DRILL STOPS WITH THE "MOTOR OIL" LIGHT ON AT THE CONTROL PANEL 1. Check for overload conditions. Overloading of the motor may have tripped the relay.
DRILL STOPS WITH "HIGH AIR TEMP" LIGHT ON AT THE BOOSTER'S CONTROL PANEL 1. Check for overheating of air compressor in "Troubleshooting the Air System".
DRILL STOPS WITH "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT ON AT THE BOOSTER'S CONTROL PANEL 1. Check for low oil level (See "Troubleshooting the Air system").
90
TOOL STOPS OPERATING 1. Check for "collared" or "bridged" hole. Lift the drill assembly off the bottom of the hole then clean the hole with water injection. 2. Check for damaged parts such as piston case, pistons, driver sub and drill bit. Polish galled spots and replace parts as required. Insure that the piston slides freely inside the piston case. 3. Check for clogged air passages in the drill bit. 4. Check for obstructions in the drill pipe, air hoses and top drive.
OPERATING PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN SPECIFICATIONS 1. Check if correct type of choke is installed. 2. Check for wear of choke. Install a smaller choke to bypass less air. If wear is excessive replace any worn parts. 3. Check for restrictions in the air delivery system.
LOW PENETRATION RATE 1. Check for dull drill bit. 2. Check for broken or missing carbides in bit. Before using a new bit, clean out the drilling hole. 3. Check for excessive back pressure in the drill hole. Remove any collaring around the hole then flush the hole with the drill's water injection.
GALLING OF INTERNAL PARTS 1. Check for proper lubrication and adjust the oil injection rate. 2. Check for uneven lubrication. Repair injection pump if required. 3. Check for foreign material inside of tool. 4. Check for warpage in the piston case.
91
LOSS OF CARBIDES IN BIT 1. Check the bit for loss of carbides. If any are missing and no damage is apparent it indicates that the piston was striking the bit while the bit was not in full contact with the rock formation. This force tends to loosen the inserts. This condition may occur when the bit encounters broken or loose formation. To avoid these conditions, control the drill to minimize these heavy blows when the bit is not in full contact.
BIT BREAKAGE AND CARBIDE FAILURE 1. Check for hairline cracks and breakage around the buttons in the bit. auge buttons are most prone to such failures. This condition may be due to excessive weight on bit, improper rotation speed or a lack of sharpening the bit. Inspect the bit face periodically and sharpen the bits when required.
CARBIDE BREAKAGE Breakage may occur due to the following: 1. A piece of carbide may have been left in the socket when a new bit was installed. 2. The carbide may have been pinched while being pushed into an undersized carbide hole. 3. The bit may have been pushed through a bent drill hole casing. 4. Excessive use between recommended sharpening periods. Note: Drilling in hard formation requires more frequent sharpening.
UNEVEN WEAR CONDITIONS Uneven wear conditions may be due to the following:
92
1. Check for uneven wear spots at the gauge row buttons (See Fig. 5.5). The drill bit may remove the rock chips too slowly. Increase the air volume to avoid this condition. Check for a bent drill rod and replace as required then check the machine set-up. 2. Check for bit erosion just above the gauge buttons. This creates spiralling into the rock and poor hole cleaning. Adjusting the rotation speed and frequent hole cleaning may help but the bit should be replaced at this time. 3. Check for excessive button wear or breakage indicating dry drilling conditions. The buttons may overheat due to extreme weight on the bit or due to improper rotation speeds. Increase the water injection and adjust the drilling speed to avoid these problems. 4. Check for powdery cuttings, which indicate that the bit requires sharpening. 5. Check for squealing of bit during drilling. The bit steel at gauge may be rubbing. Grind any projections or deformations on the bit steel. Cutting relief slots in the bit skirt may also be helpful. 6. Check for shank failure due to insufficient drill weight, uneven drill feed or excessive operating pressure. Operate the drill at the proper air pressure and maintain a steady down pull on the bit to prevent shock loading.
