Vehicle Description Vehicle Identification


The Atlas Copco Scooptram is a four-wheel drive,
rubber-tyred vehicle powered by a diesel engine. Vehicle Nameplate
Power is transmitted through a power-shift
transmission to drive axles with planetary wheel ends.
The Scooptram is designed for high performance
loading, hauling and dumping within the confined
spaces of underground mines and tunnels.
The Atlas Copco ST14 has a power frame and a load
frame connected by an articulation area that permits
44-degree turns. The two sections remain level relative

1250 0320 86
to each other. The rear axle oscillates to enable all four
tyres to retain ground contact on uneven terrain.
The power frame contains the engine and transmission
Location of nameplate
that power hydraulic systems for steering, braking,
loading and dumping.
The load frame contains the front drive axle, boom
and bucket.

Operation Safety Recommendations
Prevent Vehicle Roll Over

The centre of gravity shifts while turning.

DANGER When turning articulated


vehicles, the centre of gravity shifts relative
to the wheels. Unsafe operation may tip the
vehicle over, causing serious or fatal injury
and material damage.
ST14
8 Chapter 3: General Safety Regulations
Operator’s manual

Parking and Switching


off the Engine
Only park the vehicle in a safe area and on hard level
ground.
STEP 1 Empty the bucket. Lower the boom and bucket
completely and apply the parking brake.
Important If the vehicle must be parked on a grade,
always turn the front of the vehicle towards
the bottom of the grade. Park the
Scooptram behind an object that will not
move. Engage the parking brake and put
blocks on the downhill side of each wheel.
STEP 2 Switch off the engine, set all controls in
neutral position, and turn the battery isolation
switch to the OFF position.
STEP 3 Before servicing the Scooptram, attach a DO
NOT OPERATE tag to the steering joystick.
Note If the vehicle must be serviced with the
engine running, a qualified assistant must
be in the operator’s seat during the
procedure. Also the articulation lock must
be fitted and the boom support must be
installed if any work is to be performed
around the boom.

Example of a Do Not Operate tag


Atlas Copco 9

Use of Wheel Chocks


See Safety Manual for more information. D ow nh il l g ra de

Positioning
Important Improper positioning decreases the wheel
chock’s effectiveness.
Wheel chocks must be used in pairs and positioned
downhill and below the vehicles centre of gravity.
This could mean:
• chocking in front of the front wheels if the vehicle
is disabled while tramming down a decline.
• chocking the back of the rear wheels if the vehicle

1250 0235 58
is disabled while tramming up a decline.
• chocking the front and back of one wheel if the
direction of the grade cannot be determined. Chock front wheels on each side
• using 2 pairs of wheel chocks in severe conditions.
Considerations
Chocks must also be positioned snugly and squarely
against the centre of the tyre tread. There are many considerations that must be taken into
account before implementing chocking procedures.
L e v e l g ra d e If wheel chocks are expected to hold on a specific
grade, then all of the variables that may affect the
chock’s performance must be taken into account:
• Tyre size
• Tyre type (pneumatic, radial, bias-ply, solid rub-
ber, etc.)
• Gross vehicle weight
1250 0235 56

• Varying tyre pressures that naturally occur with


changes in the environment
• Type and condition of road surface (i.e. asphalt,
Wheel chock both sides of wheel gravel, dirt, firm, soft, wet, dry, icy, etc.)

Uphill grade Do not simply test a pair of wheel chocks with


a specific vehicle and payload, and broadly assume
that the chocks will hold the same vehicle on the same
grade every time.
Countless combinations of conditions exist and this
must be considered when selecting the most
appropriate wheel chock for each application.
Complete and thorough testing must be completed
to ensure that specific wheel chocks will meet the
specific chocking requirements.

Operator’s manual

Mechanical Failures
If a mechanical failure occurs while operating
the vehicle, stop immediately. If the brakes do not
function, apply the parking brake. If the vehicle still
does not stop, steer the vehicle against a wall.

Know Your Work Area


Check to make sure that all travel ways are clear
of obstructions such as rocks and timber etc. Know the
limitations of the vehicle.
When operating around blast areas, keep the engine
running. There is always the possibility that the
vehicle cannot be started and moved in time after
a charge has been set.

Entering the Vehicle


Controls (e.g. the steering joystick) must NOT be used as
support when entering the vehicle, as this could lead to
serious personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Tramming on Ramps
Reduce the engine speed as necessary. Engage a low
gear on steep ramps. Do not change gear while
tramming on the ramp.

Vehicle Right-of-Way
Note Local traffic regulations always take priority.
Because unloaded vehicles are easier and safer to stop,
give loaded vehicles the right-of-way. Reduce speed
and sound the horn before turning blind corners.

Function Interlock Pedals


WARNING Function interlock is not activated if the
Scooptram’s speed exceeds 4 km/h.
WARNING Bypassing the function interlock could
lead to fatal injury!
Function interlock is a function that prevents steering
and boom/bucket operation if the operator’s door is
open or the armrest is not in its horizontal position.
This is in order to reduce the risk of crushing injury
while entering and leaving the vehicle. The buttons on
the steering joystick/bucket joystick can still be used
even if function interlock has been activated.

It is possible to bypass the function interlock via the
1. Brake
F4 menu. 2. Throttle pedal

The control system reads the position of the throttle


pedal and sends the information to the ECM/TCU units.
The position of the brake pedal is also read by the
control system, but with an extra safety function built-
in. The function engages when the pedal is depressed
by 95% and then actuates full braking effect even if a
fault has arisen in the RCS system. In this situation the
control system is bypassed and the brake is actuated
directly if a fault has arisen in the control system.

Rig Control System (RCS)


RCS is a control system that governs and monitors the vehicle. It is intended for the following use:
• checking necessary and essential parameters
• conveying necessary information to the operator
• executing orders given from the operator panel and from the levers and joystick

Controller Area Network (CAN)


This system comprises an operator panel and a number of electronic modules, all of which are individual
computers that communicate with each other using CAN technology.

Chapter 6: Operating Instructions

Before starting Safety When


Before starting the vehicle run through the Tramming
maintenance checklist to ensure that the vehicle is
ready for operation. Before the vehicle is operated, think about the safety
of the operator and people in the vicinity. A careful
operator can help prevent accidents.
Important Check before each shift that the vehicle’s
controls are working properly. A vehicle
that is working properly can help to avoid
accidents. Always perform the correct
maintenance and inspection before
operating the vehicle.
• Adjust the operator’s seat and fasten the seat belt.
Make sure the seat is adjusted so the operator’s
back is against the seat cushion and he/she can
push the brake pedal completely down.
• After the engine is started, check that there is no
alarm or warning indication on the display.
• Check the steering, brakes and the controls for
boom and bucket.

General Operating Instructions


The following will help to maximise safety and Correct Angle
productivity while operating the Scooptram.

Crowd Loading
Combining the traction of the vehicle with the power
of the bucket is known as crowd-loading.
The goal is to load the bucket in a single pass without
spinning the wheels or ramming the muck pile.
Applying the correct amount of tractive power and
bucket force requires experience.

Keep it Clean
.
Left: wrong. Right: right.

Approach the pile squarely. Work the vehicle in a


straight line.
Note If front and rear wheels are not in line, there
is less traction and vehicle may jack-knife.
Keep the loading area clear of debris.
Make sure that the pile will hit in the centre of the

level loading, better traction and less chance of
damage to the undercarriage and tyres. This can also lead to incorrect front axle load, which
can lead to vehicle breakdown.
Approaching the Muck Pile Loading

Place bucket lip on the ground and approach the muck pile.

On approaching the ore pile, completely lower the


boom. Then lower the bucket tip to the ground.
Approach the pile in low gear with the bucket just
touching the surface. The bucket may be placed in the
float position.

Do not hit the load with the edge of the bucket

Control the shape of the muck pile. Pick up the load


from the closest point first. Keep the pile square by

Rear Wheels are Raised

Do not overload the bucket and lift the rear tyres.

With the proper use of the bucket controls and the throttle
pedal, all four wheels have traction at all times. By
operating the bucket joystick back and forth, the operator
causes a prying action with the bucket. By accelerating
only enough to keep the wheels pushing the vehicle into
the pile the operator can avoid spinning the wheels.
Load from the nearest point of the pile.

When the bucket starts to penetrate the pile, Spinning the Wheels
the forward motion is slowed down. At this time,
accelerate to increase the crowding action.

Bucket Level Indicator

Do not spin the tyres.

If wheels spin, ease up on the throttle. This causes


downward pressure on the front wheels.

W h e e l s A b o v e t h e G ro u n d

Bucket Level Indicator

Use the aim device on the bucket to identify


the horizontal position for the bucket’s lip.

Common Failures Keep all wheels on the ground at all times.

Front Wheels are Raised Important When back scraping, never lift the front
wheels off the ground and pull ore under
the wheels. When the vehicle comes
down it can cause damage to the under
carriage and differential.

Do not lift the front wheels off the ground.

Never apply so much bucket life force as to raise the rear


of the vehicle off the ground. If this should occur, back
up a short distance and tip the bucket forward. Continue
to penetrate into the pile until the forward movement is
stopped completely. In this position you should reduce
the throttle application to prevent wheelspin.

when tramming the machine.
Important An overload of more than 10% results in
the hydraulic system overheating. This
reduces performance and shortens
component life.

Shake down the bucket to keep debris from falling while


tramming.

Note It is good practice to tilt the bucket forward


slightly and then back rapidly to "shake
down" the load. This will prevent material
from falling from the bucket when tramming.

Correct sizing of buckets is essential for optimal


vehicle performance, to improve productivity and
reduced operating cost.

Policy
• No more than 10% of the number of loads may
exceed the nominal tramming capacity by 10%.
• No single load may ever exceed the nominal
tramming capacity by 20%.

Bucket float
Bucket float comes as standard for the ST14. The
function opens the flow between the rod and base sides
of the cylinder making the bucket follow the road.
Press the button on the joystick at the same time as
dumping the bucket to get the bucket in float position.
As soon the operator starts moving the joystick again,
bucket float will disengage.

Record Keeping
Good record keeping is essential for an effective
maintenance program. Scheduled maintenance forms
should be checked off as the inspection or procedure is
completed. Quantities of replenished lubricants and
fluids, pressure and flow readings, and total vehicle
operating time need to be documented.
Record all problems as they occur. Drivers should sign
and date forms and return them to the maintenance
manager for future reference.
Accurate maintenance records are a valuable tool for
building an overview of equipment condition on an
individual and fleet basis. Driver service reports help
to identify and evaluate vehicle operating cost,
