Introduction
SANDVIK MINING and CONSTRUCTION drilling equipment is carefully designed, tested and manufactured. When
operated and serviced by trained and qualified personnel, this machine will give safe and reliable service. There are
SANDVIK MINING and CONSTRUCTION offices world-wide to answer questions concerning the safe operation and
maintenance of this equipment.
To minimize the risk of accidents and injuries, all persons involved in the operation and servicing of this machine MUST
read and understand the following safety precautions and the manuals developed for this machine.
While we believe that we have properly identified several potential hazards that could result in property damage or injury
or death to personnel, there are certain hazards which may be present that we have not contemplated. It therefore is
the responsibility of the drill owner, operator and crew to be certain that the drill is properly equipped and safe to operate
to assure accident free operation.
Management's Responsibilities
• See that all operators of this equipment are thoroughly trained (with special emphasis on safety), competent, physi-
cally fit and if required, licensed.
• Assign specific crew members specific safety responsibilities and instruct them how to report any unsafe conditions.
• See that the operation and maintenance of this drill is in compliance with all Federal, State and local codes, regula-
tions and standards.
• Ensure that the work area is appropriately illuminated when drilling is performed at night.
• Maintain a complete first aid kit at the drill site. At least two members of the drilling crew or personnel in the area
where the drill is operated should be familiar with first aid and Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation.
• Contact the utility companies for the exact location of underground transmission lines in the drilling area.
condition exists. It is the responsibility of the drill operator to ensure that the drill is properly equipped, safe to operate
and that the site conditions make it possible for safe operation:
• The operator must see that all emergency stops, "operational aids" and "warning signals" are functional before oper-
ating.
• The operator must be alert, physically fit, and free from the
influences of drugs, alcohol and medications that might
impair eyesight, hearing or reactions
• The operator should not attempt to start, operate or service the drill unless he has been properly trained and read this
manual.
iv

• Check access ladders and decking for damage and slipping hazards such as mud, oil or ice.
• At the end of the shift, the operator must properly secure the drill to prevent the machine from being operated by
unauthorized individuals.
• The operator must never permit personnel to ride on the machine except in the passenger compartment.
The person in charge must have a clear understanding of the work to be done and consider all the hazards at the site.
He must develop a plan to do the job safely and explain the plan to the crew members involved. Factors such as these
should be considered:
vi

Operating Precautions
• Raising or lowering the mast, and drilling with an unsupported or unleveled machine can result in excessive structural
stress to the machine frames or can cause the machine to overturn.
Do not raise or lower the mast or attempt to drill until the machine is fully supported and leveled by the lev-
eling jacks.
• Drilling with an unlocked mast can result in excessive pressure at the mast raising cylinders causing the mast to fall.
Do not attempt to drill until the mast locking pins are fully engaged.
.
• Do not park or position the machine on grades that exceed the tilt
ratings.
Park or position the machine on level ground or across (hori-
zontal) grade
• Park or position the machine to allow the wind to carry engine exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Exhaust fumes from diesel engines are lethal.
• Drill pipe that is free to slide through the opening in the top plate
could be released from the loader while traveling.
Before lowering the mast, index the loader to a position
such that the top plate of the loader prevents all drill pipe
from moving past the top plate
• Before entering any enclosure, be sure that the door is secured open. Avoid entrapment, be sure that no one is inside
any enclosure before closing and latching the doors.
Enclosures can cause suffocation.
viii
6-04
• Riding the rotary head up and down the mast is a crushing hazard.
Never ride the rotary head for any reason!!! It was not designed to be an elevator.
When there is a need for an operator or helper to work on the rig in the working area or danger zone and this work
involves activation of one or several machine functions, this work shall only be done under the following conditions:
a. There must be two safety trained people present, one should supervise the safety of the other doing the servicing.
Supervision should be done from the operator’s station to ensure immediate access to an emergency stop at all
times.
b. The area where the service work is to be done should be properly illuminated.
c. A reliable mode of communication should be establish between the servicing person and the supervisor.
d. The rig must be completely shut down and all methods of starting disabled before servicing work begins.
Fire Prevention
• Keep the machine clean of vegetation, coal dust and oily rags.
• Clean-up any oil and fuel spills particularly around hot surfaces
and heat producing components.
• Check the Fire Suppression System (FSS), if fitted, for damaged hoses or cylinders.
• Check all electrical lines and connections including battery terminals for a tight fit, wear, abrasion, and corrosion.
• Do not use the drilling machine in oil, gas or waterwell operations unless the well head is properly equipped with blow-
out preventers and safety equipment required by law or as recommended in the American Petroleum Institute's doc-
• Check all machine ignition points (engine block, exhaust manifolds, mufflers, turbo-chargers, etc...) to make sure they
are not in contact with any hoses.
• Never inject ether or other starting aids into the engine and compressor intake filter(s). Ether or other aids drawn into
the compressor can cause an explosion.
• Engine oil, hydraulic fluid and compressor oil are flammable. Do not operate a machine with leaking or worn hoses or
lines.
• Do not clean washable filter elements with flammable solvents, diesel fuel, kerosene, or gasoline.
• Do not attempt to perform welding repairs until all flammable materials including oil and fuel spills oily rags, and rock
and coal dust, have been isolated or removed from the machine.
• Keep tools away from exposed live electrical parts such as terminals, to avoid arching.
• If charging the batteries, always turn the charger off before making or breaking connections to the battery.
• The compound (ethyl ether) used in the engine starting aid system is extremely flammable. Changing the cylinders
and servicing this system should be done in a well ventilated area. Do not store or install the cylinders in tempera-
tures above 160° F (71° C).
• The anti-freeze compound (methanol) used in the air line anti-ice systems is flammable. Refill the system with com-
pound only in well ventilated areas, away from heat, open flames and sparks. Do not store or expose this system or
the compound to temperatures above 150° F (65° C), or in direct sunlight.

GENERAL
The following safety precautions were developed to minimize the risk of injury during inclement weather when using
Driltech drilling equipment.
All persons involved in the planning, operation and serving of Driltech equipment MUST read and understand the follow-
ing safety precautions, the manuals developed for this machine and the Safe Operating Practices outlined in the front of
this manual.
While we believe that we have properly identified several potential hazards that could result in property damage or per-
sonnel injury, there are certain hazards which may be present that we have not contemplated.
Bad weather conditions as they relate to this topic include lightning, thunderstorms and severe rainfall.
MANAGEMENT’S RESPOSIBILITIES
High winds, rainfall and cloud cover are often precursors to actual cloud to ground strikes notifying individuals to take
action. Many reported lightning accidents occur with sun, clear skies and no rain present at the beginning as the storm
approaches because; people ignore these precursors. Generally the lightning threat diminishes with time after the last
sound of thunder, but may persist for more than 30 minutes.
• Be aware of daily weather conditions within a 100 mile (161 Km) radius of the mine property.
• Notify equipment operators of impending storms. Communication to equipment operators may be given via two way
radio and/or in person.
b. lower masts to a horizontal position or position feed rails into feed supports.
c. give the drill engine an adequate cool down period prior to shutting machine down.
d. leave machine cabin or operator platform and transport to central meeting location.
• Give equipment operators an all clear signal after the storm has cleared the area.
Note To Supervisors!
Recognize that equipment operators should be given adequate time to prepare the machine to move to specific loca-
tions for safe keeping. Crawler mounted drill machines have a maximum travel speed not exceeding 2.2 mph (3.5 kph).
•When operating machines in a construction application, equipment operators shall move the drill machine to higher
stable ground.
Never leave a drill machine in any construction zone roadway, river bed or drainage ditch.
•Move the drill machine to stable ground away from high walls and any threat where rock or water erosion may
allow unstable ground to fall or slide.
A publication written in MSHA Holmes Safety Association Bulletin April 2001 gives a simple flash bang formula to calcu-
late lightning proximity.
The FLASH BANG method is determined by counting the seconds between the visible lightning and the sound of thun-
der. This delay in seconds when divided by 5 will give an approximate value in miles as to how close the active lightning
is to your worksite.
Example: when you see lightning and it takes (10) ten seconds to hear the thunder divide by (5) five. The approximate
distance of lightning proximity is 2 miles (3.2 km).
If the flash bang measurement is 30 seconds or less seek shelter immediately and remain indoors, away from electrical
devices, water and metal components.
Supervisors shall notify equipment operators in a timely manner. This is to allow the drill operator adequate time to per-
form the required operation principals needed and secure the machine in a safe manner.
• Equipment operators shall retrieve drill pipe from blastholes, secure drilling tools and lower mast to a horizontal
position into the mast rest supports.
Understand that the mast in a vertical position with drill pipe in the ground is capable of attracting high volt-
age lightning.
NOTE !
If the operator and machine are inside or near a blast area follow procedures written in USA Federal Metal and Non-
metal Mine safety Standards 30CFR 56/57/58 manual.
• Equipment operators shall move the machine to secure ground as noted in the rainfall and flooding description.
• Equipment operators shall give adequate engine cool down period prior to shutting machine down. Adequate
engine cool down periods range between 3 to 5 minutes.
Follow engine manufacture specifications as a standard.
xii
6-04
• Equipment operators shall secure the machine, close doors and windows, leave the machine cabin and dismount
the machine in a proper 3 point contact with the boarding ladder.
• Equipment operators shall drive or be transported to a central meeting location away from bad weather and storm
conditions.
There are exceptions to the rules when bad weather develops and time does not permit adequate machine preparation
- shutdown principals.
Exceptions
If you do get caught in an electircal storm and have little or no time to prepare, remember that, no place is absolutely
safe from the lightning threat, however, some places are safer than others.
When operators are inside a enclosed stable structure such as a machine cabin or the truck cab it is recommended that:
NOTE!
Wait inside the enclosed cab as long as it takes for the storm or lightning to subside. Do not attempt to dismount the
machine when lightning is in your immediate work area.
If lightning is present within a 20 mile (32 km) radius of your location be aware of your surroundings when outdoors.
Seek adequate shelter immediately.
If lightning is present within the 20 mile (32 km) radius, and a decision is made to dismount the machine, use a standard
3 point contact down the boarding ladder to dismount the machine.
Move away from the machine quickly and into a enclosed vehicle or adequate shelter. Maintain a distance greater than
100 yards (92 m) to prevent electrical draw in the event lightning did strike the mining equipment.
Lightning detectors are available aftermarket as a measuring instrument to determine lightning proximity. Blasting crews
are aware of lightning hazards and may have a lightning detector on site.
If you are caught in the open with lightning nearby and shelter is not available the safest position to be in is to be
crouched down on the balls of your feet. Keep your feet as close to one another as possible.
Do not allow your hands (or other body parts) to touch the ground. Use your hands to cover your ears and brace for a
loud thunderous bang.
Lightning struck victims carry no electrical charge and should be given first aid treatment immediately!
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
If lightning does strike a drill machine parked in any position (mast up or down) expect major component failures. A total
machine inspection is in order.
Prior to climbing on board a machine known to have been struck by lightning use the back side of either hand (knuckle
side) to lightly touch the boarding ladder.

14’ 35’ 6”
The D75KS uses a standard length mast designed for multi pass drilling applications. The
mast for this machine is shipped as one piece on a standard flat bed trailer.
The D75KS machine base is shipped on a I-Beam type trailer with a detachable goosekneck,
maximum height of 18” and length of 24” to meet the local US transportation requirements.
Accessories for the D75KS machine assembly will be placed in box containers strapped to
the machine deck unless specified within the sales order entry. A cab extension is removed
for transit. Wood panels are bolted over both cab pieces to seal the cab from the elements.
Due to wood panels bolted to the cab sections the cab entry is limited to the left side door for
transit purpose only.
The cab extension will be secured to the right side deck for transit.
Organize machine accessories near the intended mounting position to minimize lifting.
• Outside on flat solid ground without overhead power transmission lines, (with access to
one 50 ton crane)
• Inside or outside on flat solid ground without overhead power transmission lines, (with 2
each 20 ton cranes)
• Appropriate 5 ton crane and lifting slings for positioning cab extension, decks and mast
work deck
MINIMUM DISTANCE
80 FOOT (24 METERS)
Follow the guidelines prescribed in this manual for assembly and commissioning the new drill
machine.
The D75KS mast will require appropriate lifting slings placed thru the mast chords. Mast lift-
ing points vary due to mast component distribution and shipping weight.
Mast lift points vary when using one crane lift vs two crane lift.
With adequate lifting slings in place lift mast with crane less than 3 feet (1 meter) checking
that the mast is stable and balanced both front/rear and left/right. Lower mast and adjust
straps accordingly to get the mast balance correct.
When lifting the mast to set it on the machine the crown of the mast may be slightly higher
than the mast table during the lift to enable mast raise cylinder rod installation.

The tool kit is a tool chest and an assortment of up to 944 handtools that may be used by
field technicians to assemble and provide service work on heavy equipment.
Specialty tools such as torque multiplier, air compressor an air tools are not part of this kit.
This service truck (maintenance truck) is well equipped with a portable welder, oxygen and
acetylene cutting torches, portable compressor and a auto crane. The Ford truck shown in
this picture as an example of a typical field service truck used in the heavy equipment service
business.
The mechanic or technician in charge of this truck has service tools to perform mechanical
labor on heavy equipment.
GENERAL
Due to the size of Sandvik Mining and Construction blasthole equipment several components
have been removed to enable the rig to be safely and legally transported. The purpose of this
manual is to provide suggested tools, equipment and procedures for safely commissioning a
new machine. This manual was written to cover a series of models so assembly times may
differ slightly.
SAFETY
Use a proper assembly site. Maintain safe and level ground conditions, clear of debris.
Use adequate lifting tools, allocate one assembler and crane operator to communicate the
load handling during lifting and setting procedures.
Use caution when ambient conditions are extreme. Use appropriate personnel protective
equipment as required by mine specific regulations and safety programs.
Machines arrive on a I beam type transport trailer appropriate for the base machine.
Perform a walk around inspection of the base machine visually checking for damage and
loose accessories.
The picture represents portable ramps used to load machines onto transport trailers at the
factory. The portable ramps are not shipped with a machine. When the machine arrives at the
mine site place suitable timbers under each track assembly to stabilize the machine as it is
driven off the transport trailer.
Remove any timber from trailer utilized for support during transportation.
Once the truck is disassembled and tie down chains removed the machine may be started.
• Lifting apparatus must be serviceable and have sufficient capacity for the load
• Follow recommended guidelines and crane load charts. Do not exceed manufacture
rated capacity.
The chart below is approximate component weights for the purpose of selecting the proper
lifting slings. Component weights vary according to part number. Drill tool weights vary
according to dimensions and length specific to the part number.
As a general rule select a heavier rated lifting sling than the intended load weight.

8. Inspect and prepare electrical limit switches and proximity switches wire connectors as
they apply for mast options.
The mast pedestal pivot shaft bearing surfaces and both mast raise cylinders are protected
for transit purpose.
Remove tape from mast pivot shaft bearing surfaces and clean. Apply a small film of grease
to the pivot shaft bearing surfaces.
Loosen the transit rope from the mast raise cylinders and lay the cylinders towards the
engine prior to placing the mast onto the machine base.
Mast Installation
It is the region and/or local dealer responsibility to locate and make available proper tools to
assemble the machine mast to the machine frame.
Suggested tools
• 50 ton overhead crane or 2 each 15 ton cranes
NOTE!
Perform a risk assessment with assembly crew and crane operator prior to lifting mast struc-
ture. Establish who will be communicating during the lift and install process.
1. Secure mast with adequate lift slings through both left and right side mast chords.
2. Secure a guide rope on the mast to assist manuevering the mast as it is raised.
3. Lift mast with crane less than 3 feet (1 meter) from ground checking that the mast is sta-
ble and balanced both front/rear and left/right. Lower mast to ground and adjust straps
accordingly to get the balance correct.
4. When mast balance is correct: continue to raise mast so machine may be driven under
raised mast.
One person from ground level is the director to assist the operator as needed to align the
mast bearings to the machine pedestal shaft.
If a spacer is on the mast pivot shaft move the spacer towards the right side. The spacer is a
shim to gain additional clearance so the mast will not contact the cab.
7. Final torque for the bearing cap bolts shall be 650 ft lbs (880 Nm).
9. Connect grease line for auto grease systems or manually grease lube point as needed.
10. Connect mast raise cylinder rod ends to mast. The crane may have to lift the mast slightly
to allow the cylinder rod clevis end to fit into the pin recess.
! DANGER
Do not use fingers to check bore alignment of
mast cylinder mounts
Personnel injury to fingers or hand may result
11. Remove transit tape from air hose and air pipe adapter. Connect air supply hose and
safety restraint chain to air pipe adapter.
Hydraulic Connections
Machine must be stopped and ‘LOTO’ Lock Out/Tag Out applied. Follow regional and gov-
ernmental safety policies prior to working with the hydraulic system.
Relieve hydraulic pressure from the reservoir by opening the ball valve on the hydraulic res-
ervoir air pressurization components.
Relieve hydraulic pressure from the valves and hose connections by moving the middle
stacker, upper stacker and feed directional control valve handles.
Use caution when opening the flange plugged feed system pipes as oil will be present.
Loosen flange bolts slightly and open flange plug slowly to allow oil to drain from pipe.
! DANGER
Cycle the feed direction control handle forward and reverse
prior to opening feed system hydraulic pipes
Hydraulic oil under pressure can spray out from the flange
adapter if not opened correctly
Loosen the flange adapter bolts slowly in a cross pattern while
deflecting the hose slightly to relieve pressure between the
flange adapter and the pipe flange
Pay attention to the two large diameter hose connections. One hose is to extend the feed cyl-
inder in a down mode and one is used to retract the feed cylinder for the up mode.
Rotation pump hoses are looped at the mast pipes and at the pump ports. Prepare the pipe
and pump ports by cleaning the adapter flanges prior to opening.
Flange adapters require buna N type oring seals. Fit the oring into the flange adapter. Use
caution to not damage the oring seal when connecting hose flange adapter to the pipe flange
or pump port.
NOTE!
Save the flange plugs as they may be used for troubleshooting hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic oil is lost from the rotation pump hoses due to this assembly procedure so it is
mandatory to follow new pump startup guidelines when the machine is started. Refer to
hydraulic book 5 new pump startup procedures.
Allow a minimum of 15 minutes of neutral pump run time prior to operating the rotation pump
and turning the rotary head or drill pipe. This pump run time is critical to purge air from the
hoses.
NOTE!
Cycle the feed system in both directions (down and up) to remove air from the feed cylinder
prior to installing drill pipe to the rotary head.
! DANGER
Failure to cycle air out of the feed cylinder could lead
to operational problems, loads falling and possible
personnel injury or component damage
Apply middle and upper stacker valve controls. Cycle the accessory cylinders full stroke
numerous times to purge air out of the cylinders for the functions of:
• air control (cylinder)
• mast lock (cylinders)
Mast electrical components power and ground connections are separated at a mast junction
box positioned on the left side mast pedestal frame.
1. Inspect proximity switch and/or limit switch positions for damage, obstructions and tight-
ness.
2. Open the mast pedestal junction box with a flat blade screwdriver.
3. Bring the mast wires through the junction box and secure wires to the corresponding ter-
minals accordingly.

GENERAL
The drill pipe loading process requires competent personnel and a unregulated time frame to
perform the task safely.
DESCRIPTION
Drill pipe supplied from the factory and shipped with the machine may be positioned
When drill pipe is shipped inside the drill pipe loader no action is required for loading drill pipe
into the machine.
Remove any shipping restraints prior to using the drill pipe loader system.
When drill pipe is shipped separated use caution when loosening the restraints if the drill
pipe is transported on wood cribbing or on the transport trailer.
DIMENSION WEIGHT
Drill pipe weights may vary from this chart according to a specific part number, dimension
and wall thickness.
DRILL PIPE ON
WOOD CRIBBING
Drill pipe must be lifted with overhead crane and appropriate weight rated lifting slings.
Use a balanced two point contact for lifting drill pipe from the wood cribbing or ground posi-
tion.
Lift and balance drill pipe in a horizontal position. Set the drill pipe on smooth ground beside
the machine frame.
There are two methods typically used to safely load drill pipe into a machine.
It is strongly recommended to check with the mine safety department and follow local regula-
tions for site specific safety standards according to lifting objects.
Perform a risk analysis of the task with all participants involved with loading and operating
equipment.
! WARNING
Remove all unnecessary personnel from the work area during drill pipe loading proce-
dures.
The drill supervisor and/or mine management have to approve of this method because it
does require personnel to be in the mast for a limited part of the drill pipe loading process.
Loading drill pipe from ground level into the horizontal mast with a overhead crane is a safe
means of installing drill pipe.
Tools Required
• safety approved nylon lifting sling at least 2 inch (52 mm) wide or 1/2 inch wire rope in

PREDELIVERY CHECKS
Fluids must be checked and grease points must be lubricated prior to machine commission-
ing. It is up to the local region and servicing dealer to provide the proper fluids necessary to
maintain this machine in the working environment.
Refer to the factory fill spec page for compartment locations and quantity.
There are two variations of grease systems. All require some form of maintenance.
Suggested tools
Manual grease points for pins and bushings, rotating sprockets, rotating drive shafts, loader
pivot shafts, power breakout tools and rotary head swivel bearings. There are as many as 34
points to lubricate as needed upon new machine commissioning.
In all lube applications there are 11 rotating or moving grease points that require initial
grease, to be serviced by a hand held grease gun.
1. Inspect the four grease containers fixed to the carrier sprocket. Fill these containers with
the hand held grease gun as needed, and at 250 hour intervals.
Automatic grease systems are a timed cycle for grease injection at stationary lube points. It is
suggested to adjust the timed lube cycle to minimum time during new machine commission-
ing period. Confirm all lube points receive grease then rest timed lube cycle to suit the ambi-
ent operating condition.
Refer to service literatur 006113-000 centralube system timer calibrations for setting grease
cycles to meet local equipment lubrication requirements.
Grease adapters that were opened for transit (mast related grease points) may have air
trapped in the lube line. The technician may need to purge air from the grease line during the
commissioning process. All grease injectors have a manual lube point in order to address no
lube situations.
Suggested tools
The lubricator is a timed cycle of oil injection for DTH hammer and bit lubrication. The timer is
inside the operator station lower electric junction box.
Calibrate the timed cycle for 1 second on time and 6 to 8 seconds off time.
Rock drill fluid level is visible in the linear gauge and with the reservoir decal.
In some cases it may be necessary to purge the air and rock drill oil from the pump and lube
line. Refer to service literature 011353-000 for details on lube pump calibrations.
1. Purge the air and oil from the pump at the vent port
2. Purge the air and oil at the air line check valve positioned on the mast air pipe connection
Drain condensation from air receiver tank drain ball valve prior to starting the machine.
If oil is required the machine must be stopped and receiver air pressure must be zero.
The fill plug is vented and sealed with a oring. Open the fill plug from the adapter port. Fill to
appropriate level with appropriate, clean synthetic compressor oil.
Hydraulic fluid level is noted on the reservoir decal. Fluid is checked with leveling jack and
mast raise cylinders in the retract mode.
There are two means of adding hydraulic oil to the machine. If hydraulic oil is required there
is a #12 (3/4 inch) hose supplied with the accessory tools.
1. Install the hose to the hand pump and place the hose end into a supply of clean hydraulic
oil. Adding hydraulic oil through the hand pump forces the oil through the machines return
filtration.
2. Or place the service/lube connection onto the wiggins adapter at the service center. Add-
ing hydraulic oil through the wiggins service center forces the oil through the machines
return filtration.
1. Remove the dip stick and wipe clean, reinstate the dip stick and remove it to see the fluid
level.
Mineral and synthetic base gear oils of the proper grade for the operating environment are
acceptable for pump drive gearbox fluids.
It is recommended to perform a initial pump drive gear oil sample and oil change at a 50 hour
service interval.
Level machine frame and raise the mast. Lock mast in vertical position.
3. Oil level to be at decal limit mid way between the planetary drive ring.
Mineral and synthetic base gear oils of the proper grade for the operating environment are
acceptable for rotary head gearbox fluids.
Note overfilling the rotary head gearbox can lead to oil venting out of the breather vent during
a drilling condition.
Start the machine and rotate the track so that the drain point is at the bottom position and the
fill point will be at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions.
1. Remove the fill plug to verify oil level for each final drive assembly.
Operate the winch assembly so the winch drum site glass appears in the access hole.
Lube oils listed here are factory fill fluids and compartment capacities are machine specific.

FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Caterpillar® manufactured diesel engines have the ability to burn a variety of fuels. These
fuels are divided into two categories: Preferred or Permissible.
Preferred fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance. These fuels are distil-
late fuels and are commonly called; fuel oil, furnace oil, diesel fuel, gas oil or kerosene.
Permissible fuels are crude oils or blended fuels. Use of these fuels can result in higher
maintenance costs and reduced engine service life.
Refer to form SEHS7067 from Caterpillar® for a detailed summary of preferred fuels and
their specifications.
Cetane Requirement
The cetane number of the fuel has an effect on the ability of the engine to start. Also, the cet-
ane number has an effect on the interval of time before the engine runs smoothly. The mini-
mum fuel cetane number recommended for this engine is 40.
The cloud point of the fuel is the temperature that allows some of the heavier components in
the wax to solidify in the fuel. Wax in the fuel is not a contaminant, it is an important element
of No.2 diesel fuel. Fuel waxing can plug the fuel filters in cold weather. Fuel heating attach-
ments can minimize fuel filter waxing and are available from your Sandvik Mining and Con-
struction or Caterpillar® dealer.
The percentage of fuel sulphur content will affect the engine oil and filter change intervals
(refer to the following chart).
NOTE !
The minmum Total Base Number (TBN) of the oil used must be 20 times the percentage of
fuel sulphur (TBN as measured by the ASTM ‘D2896’ method). If the sulphur content is
greater than 1.5%, choose and oil with the highest TBN that meets one of these classifica-
tions: API CF, API CF-4, API CG-4, API CH-4, or API CI-4 . Consult your Caterpillar® dealer
or form SEBU6251 for correct engine oil recommendations.
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS
General
The classifications listed below follow S.A.E. J183 classifications. The MIL specifications are
USA Military Specifications. The following definitions will be of assistance in purchasing lubri-
cants. The specific classifications for this machine are found on the Lubricant Chart.
At the factory, this machine was filled with BP 15W - 40. Consult the Caterpillar form
SEBU5939 for a listing of CH oil brands.
As with any oil Do not mix different types of oils. Contamination of synthetic oils with ATF or
mineral based fluids may lead to excessive foaming and lubrication/cooling problems.
When operating between 80 and 100°F (27 and 38°C) and with relative humidity above 80%,
a synthetic hydrocarbon type fluid is recommended. Currently, Shell Corena PAO 32 is used
as the factory fill compressor oil unless the receiver tank decal indicates otherwise.
NOTE!
Compressor oil change intervals will change depending on the type of oil used. The oil man-
ufacturers recommendations supersede the recommended interval suggested in this man-
ual.
Sandvik Mining and Construction encourages the user to participate in an oil analysis pro-
gram with the oil supplier. This could result in an oil change interval differing from what is
stated in these tables.
NOTE!
Mixing synthetic oils with an ATF may lead to operational problems, foaming, or plugging of
orifices. Do not mix different types of fluids.

The top sub may be installed at the factory which require no prestart preparation.
If the top sub is supplied locally the top sub may need to be prepared and installed into the
rotary head API thread.
It is recommended to follow 011201 service literature for proper top sub installation proce-
dures. If available apply a small wrap of twine string onto the top sub thread. Then apply a
thin layer of thread grease onto the top sub threads.
Prepare the mast table adapter for new bushing installation as the surfaces may be dirty from
transit.
The holding wrench must be fully retracted so the new table bushing will fit into the adapter.
Table bushings are shipped inside the accessory crate. There are three variations of bush-
ings built for specific drilling applications.
Place the bushing into the table adapter so the flat joints align.
It is recommended to blow air through new drill pipe prior to placing the drill tools in service.
The purpose is to clean the drill pipe of any foreign substance prior to connecting expensive
drilling tools such as down the hole hammers and drill bits.

10. Operate feed down so the drill pipe passes through the hammer bushing
11. Stop the feed down mode as the drill pipe threads engage the hammer threads
NOTE!
Drill bits, chuck adapters and hammer threads will tighten as the drilling cycle commences.
Rotary drill bits, hammers and hammer bits are consumable items that wear according to
ground conditions. Operators must inspect the drill tools on a regular basis to assure they are
in good operating conditions.
Change drill bits as needed with proper breakout tools. Breakout tools are a necessary item
to loosen threads and the drill bit from bit subs or hammer cases. Breakout tools must be
accessible to the operator.
Breakout Tools
Break out tools are required to remove drill bits and hammers from the drill string. Stow brea-
kout tools in a safe location until they are needed.
The pipe tong will be used on drill pipe and sub connections.
The petol wrench and chain attachment will be used on down the hole hammers.
Bit baskets are blank plates to be cut to fit a customer supplied drill bit diameter. The bit bas-
ket fits into the mast table and the bit will fit and lock into the basket for removal.
Do not use the tong wrench on hammer cases as the squeezing action of the tong pipe dies
can damage the circumference of hammers.
