Safe Operating Practices for Drillers

Introduction
Driltech Mission, LLC 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 Driltech Mission 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.
In addition to the precautions outlined in these
pages, we recommend that owners and operators
read the Drilling Safety Guide developed by the
International Drilling Federation available from
Driltech Mission's Technical Publications Department.
Management's Responsibilities
nated 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.
The Operators Responsibilities

Safety must always be the operator's most important concern. The operator must refuse to operate
the drill if an unsafe 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:
It is the responsibility of management to:

See that all operators of this equipment are thoroughly trained, competent, physically fit and if
required, licensed.
Assign specific crew members specific safety
responsibilities and instruct them how to report
any unsafe conditions.
Enforce the use of protective clothing, eye and
hearing equipment.
See that the operation and maintenance of this
drill is in compliance with all Federal, State and
local codes, regulations and standards.
Ensure that the work area is appropriately illumi-
The operator must see that all emergency stops,

"operational aids" and "warning signals" are
functional before operating.
iii
3-97
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.
The operator should not operate this equipment if
any of it's controls display a "lockout" tag.
If an unsafe condition exists, the operator must
place a tag, identifying this condition, on the
starting controls and alert other potential users
of the drill.
things to check are:

Check that there are no "lockouts" or "tagouts"
attached to the controls.
Check the machine log book to see that periodic
maintenance and inspections have been performed, and that all necessary repairs have
been made.
After starting the engine, check all indicators,
emergency stop devices and gauges for serviceability.
The operator should not operate the drill without

first checking that all personnel protection
devices and machinery guards are in place.
Operator's Safety Check

The operator must make a safety check before
starting to work to ensure that the machine is in
proper order for accident free operation. Some
iv
Check the fire extinguisher(s) for charge and

accessibility.
Clean the cab interior windows if necessary.
Test all controls for proper operation.
3-97
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 operator should treat all power lines as live.
Are there utility lines or structures that must be

moved or avoided?
Are there unusual or extreme weather conditions
expected?
Will drilling be done in night hours?
Planning the Job

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:
Will the drilling take place in wet formations?
Will the machine be propelled on inclines?

Will drilling be done into difficult formations?
Has a drilling pattern been developed?
What is the required depth of the drilling pattern?
Will special drilling tools be required to complete
the job?
3-97
Will vertical or angle drilling be required?
Operating Precautions
Operating near or contacting a power line with
any part of the machine can result in electrocution.
Do not raise the drilling mast or operate the
machine in the vicinity of electrical power
lines without checking the minimum safe
operating perimeter set by local, state or federal regulations.
Do not park or position the machine on grades

that exceed the tilt ratings.
Park or position the machine on level ground
or across (horizontal) 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.
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 leveling 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.
Before leaving the operator's station, all controls
must be in the neutral position with all locking
and safety devices engaged.
Do not allow the drill to operate unattended.
vi
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.
General Safety Practices

While operating and servicing this machine be
aware of the following:
The sudden release of a pressurized lid or hose
can spray hot oil.
3-97
Do not open hydraulic tanks, air reservoirs or

hydraulic connections while the machine is
running or the systems are under pressure.
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.
Hydraulic oil under extreme pressure from a small
opening can penetrate the skin and inject oil into
the body.
Do not attempt to locate a hydraulic leak by
using your hand.
tact rule.
Pressure in hydraulic systems can be retained for

long periods of time. If not properly released
before maintenance people attempt to work on
the hydraulic system, this pressure can let components move or cause hot oil to spray and hose
ends to shoot out at high speed.
Release system pressure before attempting
to make adjustments or repairs.

vii
3-97
Disconnect the battery cables before welding on

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 temperatures
above 160 F (71 C).
ing 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
document API 54.
Check all machine ignition points (engine block,
exhaust manifolds, mufflers, turbo-chargers,
etc...) to make sure they are not in contact with
any hoses.
Keep the batteries secured in their compartment
and covered.
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.
Do not store flammable fluids on or in the immediate vicinity of the machine.
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.
viii
The anti-freeze compound (methanol) used in the

air line anti-ice systems is flammable. Refill the
system with compound 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.

RESULTS
DIESEL FUEL ONLY
If you leave the machine running, it may add

fuel to the fire or restart the fire with sparks.
ENGINE LUBRICATING OIL
React quickly so the fire is caught before it

grows too large.
SIGNAL HORN
By leaving the immediate fire area, you protect

yourself from windblown flames, explosions or
other dangers created by the fire.
WATER ONLY
Heat remaining from the fire could cause reignition after the fire suppression system has discharged. Because of this, it is important that
someone stand by, at a safe distance, with a
hand portable extinguisher. This standby should
be maintained until all possibility of reignition is
past.
ALTERNATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER

CRUSHING HAZARD
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
When a fire suppression system discharges,

there is considerable noise accompanied by
clouds of dry chemical. While breathing foreign
particles is not pleasant, the agent FORAY is
non-toxic and exposure during a fire will not
harm you.

CAPACITY
AFTER THE FIRE IS OUT

Machinery should not be restarted until it has
been serviced and cleaned (water may be used
to remove the dry chemical). Immediately
recharge the fire suppression system. You
needed it once, you may need it again.

This system has been made around a multifunction counter which displays bit position, bitdistance-from-bottom of hole, accumulated hole
depth and penetration rate. The counter has
one 6-digit red led-display to show one display
at a time. Different displays can be selected
with push buttons on the counter at anytime.
The counter can be set to display all the data
either in International units (meters, m/min) or
English units (foot, ft/min).
Component Descriptions
The following components are used in the EDC
system:
4. Insert an alignment dowel or other suitable
tool through the top hole of the final drive cover
to support ring gear (1) while removing cover
(4).
5. Remove one track shoe to provide access to
the parting face between cover (4) and ring gear
(1).
6. Support ring gear (1) in place and loosen the
remaining two cover bolts (2). Using a hammer
and wedge, separate cover (4) from ring gear
(1).
7. Remove twelve bolts (3) and ring gear (5)
from final drive cover (4).
DC/DC CONVERTER
The converter switches 24 volts DC down to 12
volts DC. The 12 volt DC voltage is needed for
the counter, optical encoder, * holding wrench
proximity switch and warning buzzer. The DC/
DC converter output ground is the same as the
input ground. The maximum 12 volt current of
the EDC should be less than 1 amp.
HOLDING WRENCH PROXIMITY SWITCH (NOT REQUIRED ON D90K MACHINES)

This proximity switch has a nominal 10 mm
sensing distance. It is a Normally Open (NO)
type switch. It is connected and mounted so
that it is normally open when the holding wrench

is not engaged. When the holding wrench is
engaged the circuit is closed. The supply voltage for the proximity switch is 12 volts DC.
When the holding wrench is engaged the bit
position counter is stopped at that position.
When the wrench is disengaged the bit position
counter will follow the movement of the rotary
head gearbox.
OPTICAL ENCODER
The encoder is mounted beside the timing shaft
with a specific gear ratio sprocket and chain.
The encoder supplies two signals to the counter
which determines the distance, speed and
direction from these signals. Bit position is
increased when the rotary head is moving
down. If the bit position counter counts in the
wrong direction, the A and B signal can be
swapped from counter terminals no. 11 and 12.
ROTARY HEAD UP PROXIMITY SWITCH

The rotary head proximity switch has a 10 mm
sensing distance. It is a Normally Closed (NC)
type switch. When the rotary head is moved to
a higher position the sensing plate mounted in
the feed system opens the sensor output. The
proximity switch is connected to the pipe in the
hole warning circuit so that the closed output
will produce a warning signal if jack or mast
control levers are moved.
PRESSURE SWITCH
This pressure switch is mounted on the lower
stacker valve to sound the alarm if the leveling
jacks or mast raising control levers are operated. The pressure switch is an adjustable type
preadjusted to switch ON at 900 PSI. The
switch is connected to the pipe in the hole warning circuit as Normally Open (NO) switch. If
either the jack or mast control levers are operated, the activated output will allow the warning
devices to activate the alarm if the bit position is
greater than the PRESET warning depth setting
or the rotary head is not in the proper position.
CONTROL RELAY
The control relay is used on the warning circuit
because of different voltage levels used on the
indicator light and buzzer. Also, the load level
would exceed the proximity switch rating.
BUZZER
The buzzer is solid state electronics which automatically adjusts its own volume up or down
maintaining a minimum of 5dB (A) above environmental noise level. Sound level ranges from
82dB thru 103dB.
Indicator and Key Descriptions

KEY 1 - PRESET HOLE DEPTH
The preset hole depth feature on the counter is
an indicator to advise the driller when he has
drilled to a predefined depth. The preset hole
depth is the depth from ground level to the bottom of the hole. The operator should reset the
bit position (actual hole depth) counter for
proper operation starting at ground level. An
indicator light will indicate when the drill bit
reaches the preset hole depth. The light will
stay ON as long as drill bit position is greater
than preset measurement. The preset hole
depth can be changed anytime before or after
drilling has started. The preset hole depth can
be defined with an accuracy in centimeters
(meters with two decimals).
KEY 2 - PRESET WARNING DEPTH

This is the depth used for the warning system.
It is factory set to provide maximum bit position
measurement without sounding the alarm. The
warning signal is given if the bit position measurement is larger than the setting of the preset
warning depth or the rotary head position is too
low.
It is recommended to set the hole depth before
starting to drill. The operator can set hole depth
from the counter keyboard. To view an old Preset Hole Depth measurement:
Press key # 1 (PRESET HOLE DEPTH)
Page 2-36
The old preset hole depth is displayed as long

as the key is pressed and for 10 seconds after
key is released. The LED on the PROGRAM
key will light when ever a preset is displayed.
To program a new Preset Hole Depth measurement:
1. Press the PROGRAM key. The Led on the
Program key will flash. The main display is not
affected.
depth is displayed.
3. To enter a new measurement for the hold
depth will require two 0s to be entered after the
new measurement is entered. For example, to
enter a preset depth of 25 ft. will require 2, 5, 0
and 0 to be entered for English models. For
metric models the two 0s would be entered
unless the measurement required did contain a
two place decimal. If the measurement required
only 7 meters, 7, 0 and 0 would be required to
be entered to cover the decimal places.
2. Press key # 1 (PRESET HOLE DEPTH).

The Current measurement for the preset hole
KEY 6 -BIT POSITION DISPLAY

Before drilling a new hole the bit position
counter should be reset. This requires that the
drill bit be set on the ground and the counter
reset as follows:
position counter is now reset.
1. Press RESET key. The main display will

begin to flash. This flashing is to indicate to the
user that the bit position counter can be reset.
The system will automatically take care of correct bit position if drill pipe is added. The bit
position will stop counting when the holding
wrench is engaged. Not applicable for D90KSP machines.
2. Press key # 6 (BIT POSITION). The bit
If the RESET key has been pressed accidently,

the user may wait 10 seconds for the unit to
clear the flashing without affecting the counters.
NOTE!
The bit position is displayed in meters with two
decimals.
KEY 7 - BIT-DISTANCE-FROM-BOTTOM-DISPLAY
Distance form bottom display indicates how far
the drill bit is from the bottom of the hole. If the
drill bit is raised from the bottom of the hole, the
display will automatically switch to display this
distance. If the bit is lowered back to the bottom, the display will switch back to bit position
display. When retracting from the hole, the
counter is normally showing the distance form
bottom display. Another display can be
selected at anytime. The distance from bottom
display is switched automatically only once.
The distance from bottom display will naturally
show the hole depth measurement when the
drill bit is raised back to ground level.
The distance from bottom display will be reset
automatically at the same time as the bit position counter will be reset. If the operator wants
to reset the distance from bottom, he can use
the same procedure shown as for bit position
above, except press key # 7 (DISTANCE FROM
BOTTOM) instead of key # 6 (BIT POSITION).
KEY 8 - ACCUMULATED DEPTH DISPLAY

Accumulated hole depth records the hole depth
drilled since the last reset. This allows the user
to use this counter as a record of shift, week or
month for total hole depth drilled. The accumulated hole depth is updated each time that distance from bottom measurement is equal to
zero. If using the accumulated depth counter as
hole depth counter, the user has to reset the
accumulated depth counter separately after
every hole.
To RESET the accumulated depth counter:
3. Press RESET key. The main display will
begin to flash. This flashing is to indicate to the
user that the counter can be reset.
4. Press Key # 8 (ACCUMULATED DEPTH).
Page 2-38
This will reset the accumulated depth counter.
KEY 9 - PENTRATION RATE DISPLAY

The penetration rate is displayed in meters or
feet per minute and it is updated every half second. The penetration rate is displayed with one
decimal number.
PIPE IN THE HOLE WARNING INDICATOR

This push to test type indicator light is connected to the control relay which is controlled by
the warning circuit. The test push button will
control the control relay voltage so it will test the
relay at the same time as the warning devices.
The counter is equipped with an indicator light
and warning buzzer to help in preventing the
machine from being moved with the drill pipe
still in the hole.
CAUTION
This system only warns the operator if the

drill pipe is in the hole, if the operator tries
to operate any jack control level either up or
down, or the mast control level either up or
down, or the mast control level either up or
down.
The pipe in the hole warning light and buzzer
will operate only if the operator tries to raise or
lower the jacks and/or raise or lower the mast.
No warning will be given unless the jack or mast
controls are operated. The machine can be
moved with the drill pipe still in the hole if the
jack or mast controls are not operated before
trying to propel the machine.
NOTE !
D90K-SP single pass machine has the optional
tram lock interface which disconnects the power
from tramming circuits if the rotary head position
is too low.
PRESET HOLE DEPTH LIGHT INDICATOR

Indicator light is connected to the counter output
number 1. When the counter bit position is
greater than the preset hold depth the indicator

light will be lit.
Viewing Bit Position, Distance From Bottom,

Accumulated Depth And Penetration Rate
To view the bit position, hole depth and accumulated depth, or penetration rate proceed as
follows:
5. Press key # 6 (BIT POSITION) to view bit
position.
6. Press key # 7 (DISTANCE FROM BOTTOM)
to view present distance from bottom of the
hole.
7. Press key # 8 (ACCUMULATED DEPTH) to
view accumulated depth.
8. Press key # 9 (PENETRATION RATE) to
view penetration rate.
The counter will show the latest display until
another display is selected. The LED indicators
on the right side of the display indicate which
display is on. Distance from bottom display is
switched automatically on display when the drill
bit is raised from the bottom of the hole. The bit
position is resumed when the drill bit is lowered
back to the bottom of the hole.
TESTS
When the system has been installed and programmed the following test routines will be
needed to confirm that the counter operates
properly. There is no special calibration
required as these tests are only to ensure that
programming is correct for the respective
machine models and the counter and its installation are OK.
BIT POSITION COUNTING - (NOT REQUIRED

ON MODEL D90K-SP MACHINES)
When the holding wrench is engaged the bit
position counter display should remain at its
present display. When disengaging the wrench,
the bit position counter should resume counting.

If this is not happening, check the proximity
switch mounting and sensor on the holding
wrench. The electric signal from the proximity
switch is connected to counter terminal number
10.
PROPER COUNTING DIRECTION

The positive bit position counter measurement
should increase when the rotary head is moved
down and decrease when moved up. If the
counter is counting in the wrong direction, swap
the optical encoder signal wires from counter
terminal numbers 11 and 12.
BIT POSITION COUNTER

Bit position display is always following bit and
rotary head movement. To check the bit position counter you have to know the actual length
of the feed stroke. Reset the bit position
counter when the rotary head is completely at
the top of the stroke. Run the rotary head down
and check the bit position counter measurement. It should equal the measured feed stroke
(meters or feet). If the error is more than an
inch or maximum of two, repeat the measurements and check the programming for that type
machine and model. Different kind of feed
chains (not standard), sprocket or timing shaft
can require a change to the programmed values.
PENETRATION RATE DISPLAY
Penetration rate display is showing feet/minute
or meters/minute depending on destination
(country). Display is with one decimal accuracy.
FEED / MINUTE
METERS / MINUTE
0.3
0.6
1.5

Lower the rotary head down at a constant

speed and check to see that the penetration
rate display is showing properly. A 30 feet
stroke is 10 meters, so if drilling down 30 feet in
one minute with constant speed it would equal
about a 10 meters/minute penetration rate. Try
to drive the rotary head distance in a half minute
or in one minute to make calculations easier.
first pipe with the drill bit has to be above

ground level to eliminate the alarm. The proximity switch and the counter have been connected parallel in the warning circuit so that if
either of the circuits detect improper drill position the alarm will be activated.
EDC
SPECIFICATION
ACCUMULATED DEPTH
Accumulated depth will be increased every time
the rotary head is moved down and distance
from bottom display equals zero (0). This
means that the drill bit is at the bottom of the
hole. Otherwise the accumulated depth should
work the same way as bit position. It has its
own programming measurement, so it should
be tested to insure that it counts distance correctly.
PRESET HOLE DEPTH

The unit is equipped with an indicator light for
preset hole depth. Program some measurement to the preset hole depth register (see user
instructions) and test to see that the indicator
light works properly. An indicator light will indicate when the drill bit reaches the presetted
hole depth. The light will stay ON as long as
drill bit position is greater than the preset measurement. The preset hole depth light is connected to counter output terminal number 27
and the other side of light to the ground. Terminal number 28 is connected 24 volt.
PIPE IN THE HOLE WARNING LIGHT and

BUZZER
The test button will test the wiring and the function of those warning devices. The counter
compares the bit position measurement and the
preset warning depth. If the pressure switch
(mounted on the lower stacker valve) is pressurized to 900 PSI this will activate the alarm.
The same warning circuit can be activated if the
rotary head gearbox is lowered too low in the
mast. The proximity switch and its sensing
plate have been mounted in the mast so that the

DRILL MONITOR SYSTEM (DMS)
Level 3
The Drill Monitor System provides warning signals to the operator or automatically shuts down
the machine (for critical out-of-limit conditions)
in the event that the monitored conditions are
not within safe limits. The system is provided
with a thirty second delay for start up, a system
test push button, audible alarm, and a "first out"
indication for shut downs.
Compressor discharge temperature

Compressor inter-stage temperature
Compressor oil pressure
Engine coolant flow
NOTE !
Engine oil and coolant temperatures are also
monitored by the engine electronic control module (ECM).
There are three different levels of fault sensing:

Level 1. Flashing amber light.
Level 2. Flashing amber light and audible
alarm.
Level 3. Flashing red light, audible alarm, and
machine shutdown.
The audible alarm can be silenced at any time
by means of a silence push button. The light
will continue to flash until the fault condition is
cleared. Only one level three fault will be indicated at any one time (first out). This will allow
the cause of the shutdown to be easily determined. Level three faults can be converted to
alarm only, if desired, by an external wiring
change.
The items monitored are:

less than 10 volts at the alternator R terminal.
SYSTEM OPERATION
In the event of a machine shutdown, after the
problem is rectified, it is necessary to turn off
the key switch at the start panel momentarily to
reset the system and restart the 30 second time

delay to start the engine.
The system operation should be checked once
per shift by turning on the key switch and waiting 30 seconds to verify that a shutdown fault is
indicated and that the fuel system is de-energized.
NOTE !
The click of the shutdown relay (SDR) contacts
and the fuel system should be audible both ON
and OFF (DMS pins 20 and 21).
Periodically a more comprehensive test should
be made to verify that the sensors actuate at the
proper settings and that disconnecting or
grounding (depending on whether the sensor is
normally open or normally closed) a sensor will
indicate a fault.

method). If the sulphur content is greater than
1.5% by weight, use an oil with a TBN of 30 and
reduce the oil change interval by one half. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for correct engine
oil recommendations.

DESCRIPTION
Sullair AWF
Low and High Pressure Compressors

When operating between +80 and 100F (+27 and 38C) with a relative humidity above 80%, synthetic hydrocarbon type fluid Mobil SHC or equivelant as recommended above should be used.
All lubricant recommendations are based on 1200 rpm maximum WARM-UP speed.
Page 3-8
SECTION 4
PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE INTERVALS
The Lubrication and Maintenance Charts in
Section 4 lists items according to their service
intervals. Use the hourmeter to determine when
each service is due. Calendar intervals (daily,
weekly, monthly, etc.) may be used if they allow
for more convenient maintenance scheduling,
provided they approximate the hourmeter readings.
When performing scheduled maintenance, all
services due at more frequent intervals should
also be performed. For example, at Every 250
Hours or Monthly service, also perform the
items listed at Every 50 Hours or Weekly and
Every 8 Hours or Shift Change.
The recommended maintenance schedule is
designed for average conditions. When operating in temperature extremes, dusty or wet conditions, the period between maintenance
operations should be shortened. For example,
check fluid levels more frequently than the recommended intervals if leaking is suspected or
observed.
A number of services may need to be performed on a When Required basis, as determined by service indicators on the machine
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Wipe grease fittings clean and ensure that
grease gun nozzles are clean before injecting
grease.
Always keep caps, plugs, dipstick tubes and
their surroundings clean before removing for
servicing.
When servicing, watch for:

Leaks
Fire hazards (accumulated fuel, oil, grease,
debris)
Loose or missing hardware
Signs of wear
Damage
USE OF CORRECT TOOLS AND PROCEDURES

When servicing the drill, use the correct tools
and tensioning procedures outlined in this manual. Overtighting plugs, filter, adaptors, etc. will
cause undue stress on components and may
weaken or fracture the component under pressure. Remember, if you are unsure as to the
correct procedure in performing a job, DO NOT
attempt to start it.
When filling the hydraulic reservoir, always
check the oil level with the cylinders fully
retracted. If oil is added when the cylinders are
extended, the increase in volume of oil to the
tank may cause the tank to overfill and rupture
when the cylinders are retracted.
OIL SAMPLE ANALYSIS

Driltech encourages the user to participate in an
oil analysis program with an oil supplier or
engine manufacturer. Periodically analyzing the
oil monitors the conditions of both the machine
components and the oil itself. Also, using an oil
analysis program could result in oil change
intervals differing from those stated in this manual.
Following the instructions of your program coordinator, we recommend taking samples when
the oil is hot and mixed from the following locations:
Engine crankcase
Hydraulic tank
Preventive Maintenance - Page 4-1
Main pump drive gearbox

Final drive gearbox
Compressor air/oil receiver tank
Ensure that all gaskets, seals and protective

covers are tight and properly fitted.
Oil Contamination
WIGGINS SERVICE STATION
If your machine is equipped with a Wiggins service station it should be used whenever replenishing fluids to reduce the risk of contamination
and the chance of mixing fluids.
THE DRILL MONITOR SYSTEM (DMS)

The DMS control panel in the operators cab is
the Drill Monitor System. This panel provides
warning signals to the operator or automatically
shuts down the machine (for critical out-of-limit
conditions) in the event that the monitored conditions are not within safe limits. Several of the
When Required maintenance checks are dictated by the signalling from the DMS. For more
information on the functions of this system refer
to section 2 of this manual.
COMPRESSOR AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Cleanliness
Cleanliness is an important factor when performing even the most routine service procedure. You can reduce the possibility of dirt
entering a system by:
Ensuring that all containers used for dispensing oil are clean.
Ensure that the areas around filler caps and
plugs are clean before removing them.
Never leave plugs or caps off any longer
than necessary.
Keep disconnected hoses plugged to prevent entry of dirt.
Repair leaking cylinder rod wiper seals
immediately.
Change filters and breathers regularly in
accordance with maintenance recommendations.
Page 4-2
Water or air in a hydraulic system can cause

pump failure. If hydraulic oil appears cloudy,
water or air is entering the system and the oil
should be drained, the system flushed and
cleaned, and refilled with new oil. Points of
entry for air or water such as suction hoses or
loose clamps, faulty seals or gaskets, and areas
where water may pool and be drawn into the
system should be checked and remedied.
Leaks
If a leak has developed in a system, it is
because there is a fault which may not be
noticeable or immediately evident. A leak is
generally a symptom of a fault such as:
Overheating.
Overpressure
Excessive vibration through a mechanical
component fault.
Incorrect operating procedure.
Poor maintenance procedure.
When fixing a leak, try to identify the real cause.
Mixing Hydraulic Oils

The hydraulic oils used in your machine have
been selected to perform specific roles with
respect to the following properties:
Viscosity (thickness).
Viscosity Index (change in thickness through
temperature variation).
Anti-wear performance.
Heat dissipating performance.
Compatibility with the internal materials used
in components.
Incompatibility (an adverse reaction of one or
more of the preceding properties) is to be
avoided at all costs. Never top off or fill a res-
ervoir with an incompatible fluid. Use only

the oils specified in the COOLANT, FUEL and
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION table in this
manual.
Problems caused by incompatible fluids are:
Sludging
Oxidation
Reduced lubrication effectiveness
Seal damage
Metallic erosion
Corrosion
Foaming/aeration
Solidification/emulsification
Component bearing failure
Acid formation
Overheating
will increase the velocity of fluid through the

hose and result in severe overheating. Also be
sure to route and clamp the hose as originally
designed.
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

The engine and compressor air intake filters
should be serviced when the Drill Monitoring
System (DMS) indicator illuminates.
Observe the limits on the number of times the
filter elements can be cleaned and when the
safety element should be replaced.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Heating, Cutting and Welding Equipment
Usage
Never use oxy heating or cutting equipment on
or around hydraulic components. Apart from
fire hazard the heat can damage components.
Heating or welding on hydraulic pipes or fittings
will cause a scale to develop on the inside. This
scale may enter the system and cause severe
component damage.
When jump-starting the machine, follow the

instructions in the Operators Manual to avoid
equipment damage or injury to personnel.
Always disconnect the batteries before welding
on the machine or alternator damage will result.
Keep all electrical compartments closed and
properly sealed during machine operation.
COOLING SYSTEM
Initial Start-Up
On the initial start-up of the machine, the
hydraulic actuators may move without notice or
without any control input signal due to air
entrapment in the circuits. Ensure that all personnel are clear prior to starting. Normally,
cycling the component several times will cause
the air to bleed off. However, if the condition
continues it will require technical assistance.
Hose Replacement
If a hose is frayed or damaged, it must be
replaced. When replacing a hose, be sure that
the correct hose type and diameter is used.
Replacing a hose with a smaller diameter hose
All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. Always use coolant conditioner precharge cartridges when changing the coolant,
and replace these cartridges with maintenance
cartridges at 250 hour intervals.
Use only the water and coolants specified in the
COOLANT, FUEL and LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION topic in this manual and refer to Caterpillar bulletin SEBD 0518-06.
If the engine is to be operated or stored in an
area with temperatures below 32F (0C), the
cooling system must be protected to the lowest
expected ambient temperature.
Clean the cooling system if scale is present or
Preventive Maintenance - Page 4-3
there is evidence of oil contamination. In either

case, overheating may result.
When refilling the cooling system, add coolant
no faster than 20 qts (20 l) per minute to prevent
air pockets from developing.
After refilling the system, run the engine with the
radiator cap(s) removed until the coolant level
stabilizes. Top off the radiator if necessary.
FUEL SYSTEM
Use only the fuels specified in the COOLANT,
FUEL and LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION topic
in this manual.
Have your fuel supplier drain water and sediment from his fuel storage tanks at weekly intervals to prevent contamination from being
pumped into the machines tank.
Page 4-4
Always fill the tank at the end of the shift to drive

out moisture laden air from the tank but do not
fill the tank to the brim as fuel will expand as it
warms and may overflow
Allow fuel to settle for a few minutes after filling
before draining water and sediment..
After changing fuel filters, bleed the fuel circuit
to remove air.

AIR CLEANERS - ENGINE & COMPRESSOR
Changing Elements
General
Proper air cleaner servicing will result in maximum protection against dust. Proper servicing
can also save time and money by increasing filter life and dust cleaning efficiency. Two of the
most common servicing problems are: Over
Servicing and Improper Servicing. Replace or
clean elements only when the restriction indicator on the filter or the warning light on the instrument panel indicate to do so. Dont be fooled by
filter appearance, the filter should look dirty.
Careless servicing procedures can cause contamination. Use the following procedures as a
guide to air cleaner maintenance.
4. If the filter is dented or bunched it must be

replaced. Never rap or hit the element to
remove dirt. The primary element can be
cleaned with compressed air, pressurized water
or washed with detergent. If cleaning the primary element with proceed as follows:
COMPRESSED AIR
WARNING
Always use a face shield and protective

clothing when using compressed air. Failure to do so can cause eye damage or
blindness.
CAUTION
Using compressed air above 30 psi (205

kPa) can damage the filter element.
