The diesel engine, chassis, dust collector, hydraulic system, air system and boom sys-
tem are mounted on the wagon frame.
The wagon frame comprises a frame with the operator's cab/platform mounted on the
left. Controls for tramming and drilling are installed in the operator's cab/platform.
16
1. General
The track frames are carried on journals in the wagon frame. When tramming on une-
ven ground the drill rig is balanced by means of two compensating cylinders.
Each track frame has its own service brake. The brakes are operated by two separate
control systems.
The bodywork covers the diesel engine, the compressor, the various lubrication
tanks, the valves and the hydraulic hoses. Inspection covers allow easy access to the
various machine components. The covers are secured in the open position by means
of gas springs.
The dust collector is mounted at the back of the rig on the right-hand side.
Power pack
This hydraulic drill rig is powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine.
The diesel engine is equipped with a monitoring system that includes automatic shut-
down functions.
The drill rig is driven by two traction motors with gears. The traction motors with
gears are mounted on the track frames.
Hydraulic pumps and compressor are driven by the diesel engine.
Boom system
The boom system consists of inner/outer boom bodies, boom head, feed holder and
associated hydraulic cylinders. The boom system is controlled by directional valves
for positioning the feeder with the rock drill at different distances and directions.
Dust collector
The hydraulically driven dust collector features automatic cleaning and consists of a
filter unit, pre-separator, suction fan and suction hose.
Electrical system
The 24 V electrical system is supplied with current by an alternator and two batteries.
The electrical system comprises starting equipment, work lighting, electrical controls
and safety devices.
17
1. General
The emergency stop buttons and wires are connected in series with the engine's cut-
off system. If an emergency button or wire is activated, the engine stops immediately.
Reset the buttons before restarting the engine. The engine cannot be started if one of
the emergency stops is activated.
For further details, see separate wiring diagram.
For details of the diesel engine, see separate diesel engine instructions.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system consists of six hydraulic pumps, oil cooler, hydraulic oil reser-
voir, valves, hoses, etc.
The six hydraulic pumps provide hydraulic pressure as follows:

3. Daily checks
Foreword
This chapter provides instructions for daily checks and maintenance that must be car-
ried out by the operator before each shift.
Regarding the weekly checks and other maintenance, refer to separate instructions “
Maintenance schedules ".
Extra safety check
Safety
DANGER
• Danger of moving parts
• Risk of serious personal injury
• Set all levers and switches in neutral
position before preparing startup
• Perform the extra safety check without
the engine running
DANGER
• The side hatches on the drill rig are not
dimensioned for extra weight
• Risk of serious personal injury
• Standing, sitting or leaning on the side
hatches can result in serious injury
• The side hatches must be closed when
work is carried out on top of the rig
Before each shift starts an extra and thorough visual safety check should be carried
out in order to detect:
36
3. Daily checks
• Damage that could give rise to structural weakness or cracks.

• Wear that could have the same consequences.
• Cracks or fractures in materials or welded joints.
If the drill rig has been subjected to abnormally high stresses, vital load-bearing com-
ponents may have been damaged. From a safety viewpoint, it is therefore especially
important to check the following points (see illustration: Check points).

Heating
The heated air enters via vents at the front edge of the windscreen. To heat the cab,
set the fan (2) and temperature control knob (3) in the position for heating (turn
clockwise). Align the air vents inward.
Note
The air is heated using the heat from the diesel engine radiator. This means that the
engine must be warmed-up before full heat output can be achieved in the cab.
Defrosting
To defrost the cab, switch on the heating, close the vents (c) that are located under the
operator's seat and align the vents at the front edge of the windscreen inward.
To dehumidify the air, switch on the air conditioning fan (1), close the round vents
(d) on the air conditioning unit and align the rectangular vents (e) towards the wind-
screen.
Note
The use of the air conditioning for dehumidification is NOT recommended at temper-
atures below 10 °C. Use the fan for air conditioning (1) instead to recirculate the air
in the cab and switch off the air conditioning with button (4).
Cooling
To obtain cooler air in the cab, turn on the fan (1) and switch on the air conditioning
using button (4). Turn off the heat using control knob (3) (anticlockwise until it stops)
and align the outlet air vents inward (d).
When the air conditioning is on and the heating is switched off then the heater fan
starts automatically at a low speed to draw fresh air into the cab.

6. Use the switches for track oscillation (7/9) to keep the drill rig level when tram-
ming on slopes or passing over an obstacle.
Note
It is important to maintain good stability!
Note
When the drill rig reverses, a horn sounds and a warning lamp comes on.
Note
If one crawler track is operated while the other is stationary the tracks are subjected
to unnecessary stresses and this should therefore be avoided.
Checking after tramming

All emergency stop wires and all emergency stops must be checked after tramming.
Tramming - General principles
Tramming, general
Direct the boom system straight ahead before opening the track oscillation lock.
While tramming, the track oscillation lock must be open so that the caterpillar tracks
can move freely whenever there is a change in terrain. Use track oscillation to keep
the chassis frame as horizontal as possible.
75
5. Operating
Adapt the speed to the terrain. Always check the terrain where the drill rig will be
manoeuvred.

Checks during drilling

Monitor drilling performance and pay particular attention to the points below:
Should anything out of the ordinary occur, stop drilling and clear up the trouble or
ask service personnel to investigate.
The lubrication oil pressure must be the same as the percussion pressure, which can
be read from the “Percussion pressure” gauge and the “Lubrication oil pressure”
gauge respectively.
1. Rotation unit:
• Abnormal leakage from the rotation unit.

- Stop drilling immediately and ask service personnel to investigate the cause.
2. Hydraulic system:
• Observe all pressure gauges.

- They should not show a sudden abnormal pressure.
• Check that the temperature of the hydraulic oil does not exceed 60°C.

Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV

1250 0096 18
Figure: Fig. 17 - Progressive lubricant distributor with 6, 8, 10 and 12 outputs
107
8. Options
What is a progressive lubricant distributor?

The word “progressive” comes from the special way this type of lubricant distributor
works. Because the lubricant is pressurised and then drives the pistons inside the dis-
tributor, the pistons move in a predetermined manner. This pattern of movement is
repeated time after time. Each piston must complete its movement before the next
piston can move, regardless of whether the flow of lubricant is constant or irregular.
The pistons are dependent on one another. It is technically impossible for any con-
nected lubrication point to be skipped.
Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV

• Have pistons as the only moving part, i.e. no springs, balls or gaskets that can
break
• Reliably distributes lubricant to the connected lubrication points
• Gives 0.2 cm 3 lubricant per output and piston stroke
• Can be plugged to obtain double, triple, etc. the amount per output (see “Plugging
the outlet”)
• Can have 6 to 22 outputs
• Makes it possible to connect several lubrication points to one lubrication area.
Flow in the distributor

• The following 5 illustrations show what happens inside the distributor step by
step.
Note
For purposes of simplification, lubricant distribution to outputs 2, 7, 5, 3 and 1 are
shown. The other outputs receive lubricant in order, but are not shown here.
Step 1
• Lubricant enters the distributor and then follows the direction of the arrow to the
right end of piston A
• The pressure of the lubricant presses piston A to the left. The lubricant in front of
the left end of the piston is pressed out in output 2.
108
8. Options
Figure: Fig. 18 - Step 1, D=output 2
Step 2
• When piston A has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the right end of
piston B.
• The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston B to the left.
The lubricant in front of the left end is pressed out in output 7.
Figure: Fig. 19 - Step 2, A=output 7
Step 3
• When piston B has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the right end of
piston C
• The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston C to the left.
The lubricant in front of the left end is pressed out in output 5.
109
8. Options
Figure: Fig. 20 - Step 3 B=output 5
Step 4
• The channel to the right end of piston D is now open.
• The lubricant presses piston D to the left. The lubricant in front of the left end of
the piston is pressed out in output 3.
Step 5
• Piston D opens the channel to the left-hand side of piston A.
• The lubricant presses the piston to the right. The lubricant in front of the piston is
pressed out in output 1.
• Pistons B to D are then moved in order from left to right.
• A complete lubrication cycle has now been completed and will begin again.
110
8. Options
When the flow of lubricant is interrupted

• The pistons stop
• No lubricant reaches the lubrication points
• When the flow starts again, the pistons begin to move from the exact spot they
stopped.
Functionality check
• The primary distributor (Fig. 23) and secondary distributors are connected with
main lines (G). The pump is connected to the primary distributor.
• If a piston in any block gets caught or any output is blocked, the lubricant distrib-
utor stops.
• Due to the design of the system, a block to the primary distributor propagates and
the entire lubrication system stops (all pistons in all distributors stand still).
• The simple design also ensures that a blocked lubrication point is never forgotten.
• Since the pump is still pumping out lubricant and the distributors are stopped, the
lubricant must go somewhere. Pressure in the system increases and the block
becomes apparent when lubricant leaks from the safety valve (Fig. 25).

• The lubricant distributor can be equipped with an indicator pin. The pin is secured
in the end of a piston and follows its movements.
• When the system is blocked, the pin also stops.
1250 0096 19

• The pump's safety valve is used to check the entire lubrication system. If the pump
works and lubricant leaks from the valve, there is a stop in the system.

The valve body (7) must be used together with the brass cone (6).
• The brass cone (6) closes the connection channel (10) and must never be used
together with plug (12).
Note
For distributors SSV 6 to SSV 12, you must never use plugs in outputs 1 and/or 2. For
distributors SSV 14 to SSV 22, you must never use plugs in the outputs with the high-
est number. Should one of these outputs be plugged, the entire distributor will become
blocked.

Single amount of lubricant

• The single amount of lubricant is the amount that comes from one output with one
piston stroke. The amount is 0.2 cm 3
Outputs linked in series

• If any of the lubrication points require more lubricant, one or more outputs can be
plugged.
• In Fig. 28, output 10 is plugged. The amount of lubricant that should have come
out here goes through the connection channel down and out in output 8.
• Total amount in output 8:

Hole direction definition

The drill angle definition in WTS32 MkII makes it possible to drill parallel holes in a
predefined direction. The drilling direction is based on a sight point that is either in
line with the holes or at right angles to them. The holes will be parallel even if the
drill rig is moved. The system includes a number of rotation sensors and inclination
sensors in dust and watertight cases on the machine's feed beam and boom.
Depth measurement
When WTS32 MkII is used as a depth measuring system, it will show the depth of
the current hole and the position of the drill bit in the hole. Depth measurement will
automatically allow for rod handling and always creates the precise depth data. Drill-
ing takes place without any action from the operator until the set depth is reached and
the machine stops automatically. The average penetration rate is also calculated and
displayed. For the sake of documentation, data of the drilled distance is stored in two
memories that can be zeroed. The average penetration per rod is also calculated and
displayed. The system can also remind the operator to see whether the drill bit needs
regrinding. The precision between adjacent holes can be improved dramatically using
option - L. Using a laser transmitter it ensures all the holes are exactly the same depth
to within ±5 cm.

The system includes the separate functions Drill Angle Definition and Depth Meas-
urement. The required function is selected with the “Operating mode” button (c). On
power up (engine start), the drill angle definition function will be active. After the
drill bit has been placed over the position for the intended hole and the feeder angles
have been optimised (deviation = 0), the system can be switched to depth measure-
ment by pressing the “Operating mode” button (c) or “Start measuring” button (g).
Once the borehole is finished, all the drill rods have been removed and the drill bit
has been raised to the surface, the system will automatically switch to angle measure-
ment.
Definition of drilling direction

All the directions that are defined and shown on the electronic unit are based on the
reference direction defined using the sight. The relationship of the intended drill
angles (slew and tilt) to the aiming direction is defined using the “Select value”, "+”
and "-” buttons on the panel. The reference direction must be defined before drilling
using a clear point, e.g. a pole, and the sight is directed towards this point. In princi-
ple, the reference point can be chosen either in line with the hole or offset at 90º to the
row of holes (perpendicular). It is better to use a reference in line with the holes, as it
can be located close to the last hole (>10m), while a perpendicular reference must be
at least 2 km from the hole to avoid parallax distortion. The predefined drill angles
and deviations (in relation to the boom direction) and, where appropriate, text error
messages are shown to the operator on an illuminated LCD display with 2 rows of
each 16 characters.

d Slewing deviation
e Deviation < 0.3º
f Tilting deviation
Angle information is shown with a resolution of 0.1º. Under normal operation, the
slew and tilt angles are measured continuously on the feed beam. These angles are
used to calculate the angle deviation in relation to the boom and aiming direction.
The resulting deviation is shown to the operator on the bottom row of the display.
Deviation is minimised by the operator by manually changing the feed beam direc-
tion or automatically by pressing the “automatic feeder navigation” on the panel.
When the deviation of both axes has been reduced to 0.3º, the green LED on the
panel will come on and the message "OK" will be shown on the display.
Once the drill rig has been moved to the new location for drilling and the aiming
device pointed in the direction of the sighting reference, the next holes can be drilled.
These will be parallel with the holes in the rig's previous position.
Besides the normal functions, the LCD display is used to show error messages and as
an aid for service and adjustment.
• Two menus are used for the inclination measuring operating modes. They include
- Choice of language
- Start of adjustment mode
Sensor system
The sensor system comprises two inclination sensors on the feed beam, a rotation
sensor by the boom attachment and the aiming device. The inclination sensor for the
feeder (measurement angle ±50º) is mounted in a sealed casing made of pressure cast
120
8. Options
aluminium. The sensor for boom rotation is mounted in an aluminium enclosure by

the boom rotation shaft. The sensor measures the deviation between the direction of
the boom and the drill rig (forward) and uses this to calculate the drilling direction.
The sight unit, which is mounted separately in view of the operator, has two slotted
holes used for aiming. The unit's measuring range is ±119.8º.
Automatic positioning
As an option, the feed beam can be provided with automatic rough positioning for
parallel holes. The feed beam is handled using pilot valves that are controlled via the
electronic unit. These valves are powered until the remaining deviation is less than
0.5º and ”Autopos OK” is displayed. The remaining fault is then minimised, the feed
spike pressed against the ground and the deviation minimised using the feeder exten-
sion as during normal manual operation.
It is an advantage to activate this function when the boom position is changed, as it

enables the intended feed angles to be maintained despite the repositioning. This
makes for almost optimum feeder alignment when moving to the next hole, which to
a high degree reduces the time it takes to align the feeder.
Depth measurement
The ”depth measurement” operating mode can be activated by pressing the “Operat-
ing mode” or “Start depth measurement” button. In the latter case, the system is auto-
matically prepared for the next hole and depth measurement set to ”0”.

The display contents change in this mode of operation. On the top row is the
intended depth (predefined using the "+" and "-" buttons) and the current penetration
rate. The penetration rate is calculated twice a second but the display shows an aver-
age value to give stable readings.
The bottom row shows the hole depth on the left. As soon as the hole depth reaches
the predefined value (±8 cm), the green LED under the display will come on. The
current position of the drill bit in the hole is displayed on the right of the bottom row.
This can be used e.g. when cleaning the hole. The system measures all the movement,
up or down, made by the drill bit. Consequently, the feed must be disengaged when
handling rods, which is done when the electronic unit detects the rod handling and
automatically takes the necessary measures. During rod handling, the display shows
the message "Rod handling" and the average penetration rate for the previous rod.
This value is a good measure of drill parameter optimisation and gives an indication
of drill bit wear. The measuring system is designed to the ”start-and-forget” principle
and consequently, the operator need not intervene until the hole is finished.
Intended depth is zeroed with the “Start depth measurement” button. Hold the button
for about 5 sec.
• In deep operating mode are several menus:

- Show memory and resetting
- Viewing stored (logged) hole parameters
- Definition of grind interval
- Definition of measuring method (hole length or vertical depth)
- Definition of time and date for logging
Automatic drill stop

The system has an automatic drill stop function. Once the predefined depth has been
reached, the electronic unit will generate a control signal to stop the drilling while a
message "Drill stop" is shown on the bottom row. When drilling has been stopped
by the drill stop function, manual drilling will also be prevented until the “Start
depth measurement” button is pressed once. After resetting, the drill stop func-
tions will be disengaged and not work before the next hole has been started by press-
ing "=0" again, which will also zero the depth meter.
Laser reference
The "Laser reference" option (option -L) consists of a laser sensor mounted on the
cradle on the feed beam.
The option can be used in two different ways:

d Position of the drill bit in the hole
a) Standard method: The precise distance between the drill bit and the laser sensor
is programmed in the basic settings of the system. A laser transmitter used as a depth
reference is located on a stand at an optional height. Once the laser reference plane
has been passed, the depth reading will no longer refer to ground level at the drilling
station but to the laser reference level.
b) Operating with safety margin: The distance between the drill bit and the sensor
(minus 1.5 m) is programmed in the basic settings of the system. A laser transmitter
used as a height reference is mounted on a stand exactly 1.5 metres above the refer-
ence level. The difference of 1.5 m is necessary to enable a return to standard proce-
dure for depth measurement in case a laser sensor should cease to work due to dirt on
the receiver window or if the laser transmitter is not visible (e.g. obstructed by the
machine).
The laser must be placed so that there is unobstructed sight between the laser and
receiver when drilling all the holes!
This procedure is the same as normal depth measurement. The depth is zeroed with
the “Start depth measurement” button before drilling starts. When the laser sensor on
the cradle passes the laser reference plane generated by the transmitter, depth meas-
urement will be set automatically to the value stored in the basic settings of the sys-
tem and the measured depth will consequently refer to the laser level. This method of
operation guarantees measurement with safety margin even if the sensor cannot see
the laser reference. In such a case, the initial depth measurement will continue to
refer to the "=0" height.
When the laser sensor has passed the laser plane, a new message "L" will be dis-
played on the centre of the bottom row. This message indicates that the laser refer-
ence is working correctly. If the message is not displayed after the laser level has
been passed, then a fault has occurred, e.g. dirt on the receiver window or a cable
123
8. Options
break. When laser level is used, the displayed depth will be based not on the surface
level but from the laser reference level. The depth based on the surface can also be
significant, e.g. if the hole depth is to be checked later (immediately before blasting).
In order to provide the operator with this information, the depth is calculated in rela-
tion to the surface and is shown on the top row of the display (H=XX.XXm) after the
automatic drill stop. This message is shown until the next hole is started.
Memory for accumulated depth

The drilled depth is accumulated and stored in two separated memories. The first
memory, "Memory 1", has a measuring range of 9,999,999 m, while the second,
"Memory 2” displays up to 999,999 m.

Depth measurement
• The system measures two depths:
- Hole depth measurement
- Vertical depth measurement
When the system is set to hole depth measurement, the length of the inclined hole
is measured. If, however, vertical depth measurement is active, the depth is calcu-
lated from the hole length and its inclination. If a hole is drilled 21.28 m long with
0º slew and 20º tilt, the system will display a vertical length of 20.00 m.

Operation
General
• Run the drill rig to the hole's position
• Choose a reference point for aiming as far away from the location of the drill rig
as possible. All angles for drilling direction are based on this aim direction.
128
8. Options
Note: It is essential to choose a reference point as far away as possible. Using

a reference point that is in line with the row of holes will reduce angular error
and thereby enable the use of a reference point much closer to the location of
the final hole.
• Determine the desired drilling angle based on the current aiming direction using
the "+”, "-” and “Select value” buttons on the electronic module. The angle will be
shown on the top row.
• If the -L option (laser reference) has been installed, place the laser transmitter on a
stand (1.5 m above the reference surface, see text) in a position providing free
line of sight between the transmitter and the laser sensor on the cradle for all
the holes .
• Position the drill bit for the next hole.
- a) Without automatic positioning: Position the feed beam manually until the
deviation between the desired drilling angle and the actual feed direction
(shown on the bottom row of the display) is small enough.
- a) With automatic positioning: Press the “Automatic feeder navigation” but-
ton until ”auto position OK” is displayed, remaining deviation is approx. 0.5º
• Press the feed spike against the ground and fine adjust with the feed extension.
"OK" will be displayed and the green LED will come on once the deviation in
both directions drops below approx. 0.3 º.
• Place the drill bit on the surface and press the “Start depth measurement” button so
that the system switches to depth measurement and resets the depth to ”0”.
• Define the intended hole depth with the “+” and “-” buttons, the value is displayed
on the top row of the screen.
• Boreholes
• If the -L option is installed (laser reference), check for the "L" message on the bot-
tom row of the display after passing the laser level.
• Drill until the predefined depth is reached and the "Drill stop" function automati-
cally stops drilling. The "Drill stop" message is shown on the right of the bottom
row on the display. Drilling can be restarted by pressing the “Start depth measure-
ment” button once. The automatic drill stop function is now disengaged until
the next hole is started.
• Extract the drill rods from the hole and the system will return to the incline operat-
ing mode as soon as the drill bit reaches the surface.
• If necessary, position the drill rig for the next hole. Remember that the reference
point (aiming point) must be visible
• Take new aim at the reference point using the aiming device. The angles will again
be referenced to the aiming direction.
• Place the drill bit in the position of the hole, minimise angle deviation as above
and drill the hole.
The angles are defined as shown in the following diagram. These are in relation to the
lower end of the feeder.

Adjustment
To carry out the following adjustment, the cover on the electronic module must be
opened after undoing the four screws on the edge of the panel. Adjustments inside the
electronic module can be carried out only when the system is in incline mode.
Adjustment mode is activated by holding the "Menu” button in incline mode for
about 5 seconds. The display mode changes when adjustment mode is activated. The
top row contains information on the swing angle of the boom and the sight angle,
while the lower one is used for the feeder swing and tilt angles. These angles are raw
data and have not been processed, which makes them ideal for adjustments. All the
angle adjustments are made using small potentiometers on circuit boards in the elec-
tronic module.

Configuration of electronic module

The software supports installation of the IS system on rigs with motor feed (normal
incremental encoder) or with cylinder feed (line depth meter). This choice and the
choice of rotation direction can be defined from a separate menu. This is accessed in
incline mode from adjusting mode after holding down the "Menu” button. Choice of
rig type can be made using “+” and “-”.

Definition of sprockets (no. of teeth) and chain pitch is reached by holding down the
"Menu" button or at least 5 seconds while the "Select rig type" menu is active. This
screen also allows you to define the number of teeth on the feed motor sprocket and
the type of chain (chain pitch). The number of teeth can be modified if the "arrow" is
pointing to this text on the menu. The "arrow" can be moved to define chain pitch
with the “Select value” button. The number of teeth can be changed with "+" and "-".
The system supports chain pitches of 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.75" and 2". This choice is also
made with "+" and "-". The parameters are permanently stored in the system. If free
definition of the depth scale (sprocket and chain definition) is used, the rig type will
not be displayed when the electronic module starts. The defined values are stored
when you exit the menu.
Measuring exception for rod handling

The system supports two different methods of allowing for rod handling:

148
8. Options
• a) Control using 2 signals ("Pause Start" and "Pause End") : This control
method is used on machines with top hammer. The rising flank of the "Pause
Start" 24V signal (i.e. unthreading the rock drill or rod) is used as a command to
stop the counting. The rising flank of the "Pause End" 24V signal (normally open-
ing the upper drill-steel support/open breaker jaws) is used to reactivate counting.
• b) Control using 1 signal: This type of control is used for down-hole hammers.
Only the signal that controls the rod gripping is used to control the count. The
count will be stopped when the signal is active (rod gripped).
The choice between these two method is made using the JP2-0 jumper. Standard
control (2 signals) is used when not fitted. After installing the jumper, control will
take place with only 1 signal.
Laser reference
The depth to be stored after passing the laser plane is defined as follows:

1. Switch to depth measurement mode
2. Press "Menu” three times to switch to "Depth” mode.
3. Press "Menu” for about 5 seconds until ”Laser Sensor -> Drill Bit XX.xxm” is dis-
played.
4. Measure the distance between the centre of the laser receiver window and the bot-
tom of the drill bit.
5. If necessary for the selected operating mode, subtract 1.5 m and set the value with
the buttons (see “Laser reference” in chapter “Principles of operation”)
6. Set the value with the “+” and “-” buttons.
7. Return to depth measuring mode with a brief press on “Operating mode”.
System installation

Installation and grounding of the box

After installation, the electrical resistance between any two metal parts in the whole
WTS system must be lower than 0.05Ω , measured through the drill rig's metal
structure (without the screens connected). This means that any paint on the metal
parts must be removed so that the WTS32 MkII boxes are connected directly. The
surfaces must be protected with conductive grease. The boxes must be screwed onto
the metal structure firmly enough to ensure good conductivity.
Assembly positions
The cable protection is also clamped to the PG9 fitting on the inclination sensor and
the boom swing rotation sensor.

• The water tank must be filled with pure water and any dust binding additive
through the filler valve on top of the tank (A).
• The tank can be drained through the valve on the bottom of the tank (B).
• The water supply from the tank can be turned off during maintenance work on the
system using the valve (5).
• Normally, a small amount of water is used to dampen the drill dust and bind it into
larger particles for dust binding or to build up the wall of the hole. In this case the
switch S448 must be in AUTO position (b).
• If it is necessary to add a larger amount of water, e.g. if a pocket of clay is hit,
switch S448 can be put to MANUAL position (a). The switch will spring back to
AUTO position when it is released.
• If there is no need to add any water, the system can be turned off by moving switch
S448 into the OFF position (c).
To prevent clogging suction hoses and filters, the DCT should be turned off if the
dust is damp or if water is being flushed out of the hole. Switch S181, position (c).
When the compressor is discharged or the engine is turned off, the air pressure in the
tank will automatically evacuate through the blow-down valve (4).
If there is a risk of freezing, the tank should be emptied and the system flushed with
anti-freeze before leaving the drill rig overnight or for the weekend.
The filter (6) should be regularly dismantled and cleaned.
