Title: OPERATING SAFETY
Number: OM-BLT-S2
Machine Model(s) Affected: 928/946 Scissor Bolters
Revision: D
OPERATING SAFETY
Before starting the Scissor Bolter, make certain that the transmission gear selector and
the emergency/parking brake control are positioned as specified in the starting
instructions in the Scissor Bolter Operation section of this manual. FOLLOW MINE
SPECIFIC RULES AT ALL TIMES!
• Adhere strictly to all regulations at the work site pertaining to the operation of
this equipment including all local mining regulations.
• Prior to commencing work, check all equipment controls and ensure that the
machine responds correctly.
• Whenever possible, test the functionality of the machine controls when standing at
the control console on the scissor deck or when sitting in the driver’s seat. This will
help to ensure that the operator is in a safe position away from moving parts.
• Whenever possible, operate all boom and drill functions from the control console on
the scissor deck. This will help to ensure that the operator is as far as possible from
the boom.
• Maintain a safe operating distance between the equipment and other personnel. Use
only approved signaling practices.
• Follow all instructions from the mining equipment manufacturer when operating the
rock drills.
• Never use the Emergency/Parking brake to slow down or stop the vehicle unless it is
an emergency situation.
• When operating the machine, ensure that the articulation area is clear. Do not allow
personnel between pinch points.
• NEVER place yourself under the scissor deck while the deck is in the raised position
without first engaging the Scissor Lock Mechanism.
• Always ensure that excess grease and oil accumulation, including spillage, are
cleaned up immediately.
• Always face the equipment when entering or leaving the operator’s compartment.
Use three-point contact with handrails and steps. Do not use control levers or the
steering joystick as a handle.
Number: OM-BLT-S2
Revision: D
• Always use the outriggers to level and stabilize the Bolter prior to raising the scissor
and / or working from the deck.
• Always raise the outriggers and lower the Scissor Bolter deck when leaving the
bolter.
• Keep hands and feet inside the driver’s compartment at all times when driving.
• Keep head, hands, feet and loose clothing away from rotating parts.
• Always ensure all safety chains/cables and guardrails are installed and in good
working condition when operating the machine. The scissor deck openings and
wings have safety chains/cables that must be set-up in their operating positions
before work can begin.
• Possible pinch points exist in the area of the boom and handrails. Keep clear of the
boom and handrail area when operating any of the Bolter’s boom or drill functions
and the deck extension function.
• Test all Emergency Stop switches at the beginning of each shift to ensure that they
are functioning correctly.
• When parking the machine and shutting down the engine, set the Master Disconnect
Switch to the “OFF” position.
• If connecting a mine air line to the Bolter, properly secure the air line with a whip
check.
• Ensure all hoses, and the Bolter’s trailing cable are disconnected and properly
secured before driving the Bolter.
• Always remove the drill steel from the rock drill before driving the Bolter. Remove
the drill steel from the drill and drill feed before placing the boom into the tramming
position (tilted into the deck). The drill steel should not be reinstalled onto the drill
feed until the boom is positioned into a safe operating position. In this way, the
advancement of a drill steel into the driver’s compartment will not be possible.
• Use the boom support post when driving the Bolter in order to reduce boom
movement during driving. This will help prevent possible damage to deck or boom
components.
• Ensure drill feed and rotation lock are engaged only while drilling (i.e. – Disengaged
whenever the machine is not drilling). In this way, the advancement of a drill steel
into the driver’s compartment will not be possible.
• Never use the hydraulics to aid you in removing the drill steel. A drill steel can be
uncoupled with the percussive force of the drifter, however never hold the steel with
your hands and rotate it with hydraulic pressure.
Number: OM-BLT-S2
Revision: D
• One person typically operates the Scissor Bolter. However when a second person is
required both operators must be properly trained. They must be in constant
communication with each other and be aware of each others location at all times
when working on or around the Scissor Bolter.

SERVICING SAFETY
Before performing maintenance or repair work on any equipment stop and think; “Are
you qualified to carry out these repairs?” Know YOUR limits. Consult the maintenance
bulletins provided and follow the recommended procedures.
• Follow the mine site’s lock out and tagging procedures.
• When servicing or repairing the equipment, use proper wheel chocks and shut down
the engine and AC power unless they are required to be running for adjustment
purposes.
• Whenever possible, test the functionality of the machine controls when standing at
the control console on the scissor deck or when sitting in the driver’s seat. This will
help to ensure that the operator is in a safe position away from moving parts.
• NEVER place yourself under the Scissor Deck while the deck is in the raised
position without first engaging the Scissor Lock Mechanism. This mechanism will
prevent the deck from falling in the event that there is a loss of hydraulic pressure.
Failing to do so could cause severe injury or death.
• NEVER place yourself under the boom when the machine is running. Failing to do
so could cause severe injury or death.
• Proper supports should be used whenever servicing the boom or when working
under a suspended load such as the boom or scissor.
• Always use the proper tools for the job. Repair or replace any broken or damaged
tools, including lifting equipment, immediately.
• Keep your head, hands, feet and loose clothing away from power-driven parts. (i.e.
engine alternator, feed, bolt dolly, drill steel, etc…)
• Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuits long after the power source and
hydraulic pump have been shut down. Relieve ALL trapped pressures before
performing any service work to the hydraulic components. Some valves are used to
hold components in place. Removal of these valves or hosing could result in the load
dropping or coming down onto yourself or others. Ensure that there is a zero energy
situation before work commences by supporting all such components.
• When troubleshooting a hydraulic system for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or
other material as detector, NEVER use your hand. Pressurized hydraulic fluid
escaping from a faulty component can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.

Title: FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY
Number: OM-BLT-S4
Revision: A
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY

Fires can create severe emergencies where both human life and property may be lost.
Even when confined, a fire may cause very expensive damage to your equipment. Fire
can strike at any time, not only when the equipment is used, but also when left
unattended between work shifts and nobody is around to fight it.
When working in a confined environment, it is impossible to prevent combustive dust

from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This dust, in itself, may not cause a fire
however, when mixed with fuel, oil or grease in a hot and confined place, it can become
a fire hazard. Always follow mine specific regulations and procedures pertaining
to fires.
To reduce the chances for a fire to break out, follow the preventive instructions listed
below:
• Inspect the machine daily for potential fire hazards and make any necessary repairs
immediately.
• Always ensure that excess grease and oil accumulation, including spillage, are
cleaned up immediately.
• Set up, and follow a wash schedule. Use only non-flammable cleaning agents for
cleaning the machine or machine components.
• Discard oily rags and other combustible materials in the proper designated location;
do not store them on the machine.
• Before performing repair work such as welding, the area surrounding the repair
location should be cleaned and a fire extinguisher positioned close by.
• Ensure that you are familiar with the location of the machine’s fire suppression
system actuators and KNOW HOW TO USE THEM.
• Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on or near the machine at all times and KNOW
HOW TO USE IT.
• Follow the mine site’s procedures for transporting and loading explosives.

operator must be aware of. These safety points include the location of the fire
extinguisher and fire suppression system, the location and usage of the articulation lock,
the location and usage of the scissor lock, the location and usage of the Emergency
Stop buttons, and the location and usage of the Master Disconnect Switch.
The location of certain safety items may vary from unit to unit.
Be sure to make yourself familiar with the location of the safety
items on your particular bolter.
Fire Extinguisher and Fire Suppression System

The MEM-928/946 is equipped with a portable fire extinguisher and has a dedicated fire
suppression system installed around the engine and drive train. It is the operator’s
responsibility to be familiar with the fire safety systems present on their specific
machine.
The hand held fire extinguisher is accessible both from the driver’s compartment and
from the ground, see Figure 4. It is the machine operator’s responsibility to know how to
use the fire extinguisher properly. A daily visual inspection of the fire extinguisher must
be performed to ensure that it is fully charged and has not been damaged.

Revision: C
In order to use the palm actuators to activate the fire suppression system, the safety pin
must first be pulled from the actuator’s stem and then the actuator depressed (pushed
in/down).
The typical fire suppression system installation on a Scissor Bolter is an Ansul
system and has nozzles at following six points on the machine:
• In the battery box
• Near the engine fuel filter
• Two (2) at the transmission compartment
• Engine compartment
• Hydraulic pumps
Ansul Checkfire System™ (if equipped)
A Checkfire® fire detection system (optional) may be installed on your machine. It
provides automatic fire detection for designated areas of the machine. The Checkfire®
fire detection system is integrated with the existing fire suppression system and
activates the existing system, if initiated. The Checkfire® fire detection system utilizes
an explosive “Squib”. Units built in September 2009 or later use a non-explosive
Protracting Actuation Device (PAD). When equipped with Checkfire®, these devices are
usually located in the operator’s compartment manual palm actuator.
The “Squib” is an explosive device used to activate the fire
suppression system. Do not inspect or attempt any
maintenance on the Fire Suppression system or any of its
components unless you are fully trained and qualified. For more information see
maintenance bulletin MB-FIR1013. If the Fire Suppression system has been
activated contact the appropriate mine personnel.
Scissor Lock
The scissor beneath the MEM-928/946 deck presents a possible pinch point. The
machine operator must ensure that the scissor area is clear when operating the deck
and must also ensure that the scissor lock (see Figure 8) is used whenever work is
carried out in the scissor area. The scissor lock consists of handle (painted red) and
bracket that pivots under at the deck frame. The bracket has a 90° channel which
engages the sides of a cross member within the scissor assembly. The lock then acts
as a deck support between the deck and scissor frames. The handle for the scissor lock
is located on the entry side of the machine, midway down the length of the deck. To
use the scissor lock properly, the following steps should be followed:
NEVER place yourself under the scissor deck or boom while the
deck is in the raised position without first engaging the Scissor
Lock Mechanism
Number: OM-BLT-V1
Revision: C
Use the outriggers of the bolter to level and stabilize the unit
before raising the scissor.
Locking Procedure:
1. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the bolter for the deck to be
raised and the boom extended.
2. Unfasten the scissor lock handle.
3. Start unit diesel engine or electric power-pack. Ensure that the unit is in
AUXILIARY mode.
4. From driver’s compartment, raise the platform with scissor toggle switch (press
the Tilt Unlock switch if the boom is tilted in past 55º) and observe the scissor
lock engage the scissor assembly cross member.
5. Once the scissor lock has dropped into the locked position, lower the platform.
The scissor lock should now be supporting the platform. (Figure 9).
Figure 9 – Typical Scissor Lock Location (Engaged)
Number: OM-BLT-V1
Revision: C
Unlocking Procedure:
1. Place the boom in the drill position.
2. Raise the platform to a point slightly higher than the locked position.
3. Rotate the scissor lock handle to the unlocked position and fasten it. (Figure 10)
Figure 10 – Scissor Lock Location (Unlocked)

Articulation Lock
The articulation point for the MEM-928/946 lies in the mid-ship of the machine and
presents a possible pinch point. The machine operator must ensure that the articulation
area is clear when operating the machine and must also ensure that the articulation lock
is used whenever work is carried out in the articulation area. The articulation lock
consists of a bar and pins (painted red), which are installed across lugs welded to the
machine’s frame on either side of the articulation. When not in use the articulation lock
is stored on the deck end of the machine, on the diesel/hydraulic tank side, just below
the deck’s control panel. The articulation lock is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11 – Articulation Lock Location When Tramming
Number: OM-BLT-V1
Revision: C
With the engine running, the steering controls are active. A

pinch-point exists at the Scissor Bolter’s articulation. Ensure
that the articulation is clear before starting.
Emergency/Park Brake Button
The MEM-928/946 is equipped with an Emergency/Park Brake button. The Emergency
/Park Brake button is located on the driver’s instrument panel. Figure 12 illustrates the
typical location of the Emergency Brake/Park Brake button. By pushing this button in,
the operator applies the emergency/park brakes (axle brakes and driveline brake
simultaneously) and should be used whenever parking the machine or in the event of an
emergency stopping situation.
Emergency/Park
Brake Button

Number: OM-BLT-V1
Revision: C
Emergency Stop System

The Emergency Stop buttons present on the machine are located on the AC main
panel, the remote pendant and the Remote Drive System (RDS) control console on the
deck. These Emergency Stop buttons are shown in Figures 13, 14 and 15. When
engaged, the Emergency Stop buttons trip the machine’s ground check detection circuit
and interrupt the machine’s 24VDC control system. Tripping the machine’s ground
check detection circuit in turn shuts down the high voltage power to the unit. It also
interrupts the 24VDC control system that shuts down the diesel engine, and all 24V DC
control circuits. In order to restore power to the unit, all Emergency Stop buttons must
be disengaged. If an Emergency Stop button has shut off the AC power, then the AC
power must be reset at the AC main panel or at the electrical sub-station.
On some machines, if applicable, the remote pendant and RDS

emergency stops do not trip the ground check circuit. The AC
main panel emergency stop on all Scissor Bolters trips the ground
check circuit, shutting down the AC power.

The Master Disconnect Switch must be used to disconnect the

batteries from the control system and engine circuit for complete
machine shutdown.
Number: OM-BLT-V1
Revision: C
Master Disconnect Switch

The batteries, battery charger and alternator used on the MEM-928/946 can be isolated
from the rest of the machine’s electrical circuitry by use of the Master Disconnect Switch
and lockout. The Master Disconnect Switch is located near the operator’s compartment,
above the battery box as shown in Figure 16. To “lock-out” the Master Disconnect
Switch, turn the switch to the OFF position and attach your personal lock and tag on the
bracket provided.

Figure 16 – Typical Master Disconnect Switch Location
If applicable, on some Scissor Bolters, the strobe light circuit is not

disconnected by the Main Disconnect switch. This allows the strobe
light to operate while the Scissor Bolter is parked, and shut down.
Emergency Steering Systems (optional)
As an option, a MEM-928/946 can be fitting with an emergency steering system. This
system provides hydraulic pressure and flow to the steering system if the unit looses
main hydraulic pressure and normal operation of the steering is not possible.
This system is designed and tested to conform to SAE Standard J1511. The system is
completely automatic and requires no input from the operator to activate. It does alert
the operator that the system has been activated via an indicator on the Driver’s
Instrument Panel (DIP). This light also self-tests when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running. See Section OM-Bolter-V2 in this Operator’s Manual for a
description.
A pressure gauge (not shown), is also provided on the brake gauge cluster to indicate
the charge pressure in the emergency steering system. Fully charged, the gauge should
read approximately 3000 PSI. When the gauge reads approximately 1000 - 1200 PSI,
the emergency steering system reserve is empty and steering is no longer possible.
Number: OM-BLT-V1

ECO SCISSOR DECK LAYOUT

This section of the MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolter Operator’s Manual outlines the Scissor
Deck layout of the machine. When on the deck the working end, or boom end, of the
machine becomes the front. This is important to realize, as all function directions will
follow this criteria when operating or testing is carried out.
Figure 1 illustrates a typical Scissor Deck for a 928/946 Scissor Bolter. The Scissor
Deck consists of a Deck Ladder, Control Panel, Bolt Rack, Fold Out Wings, Boom
Support (not shown) and Screen Hooks.
The Scissor Deck is designed to allow the operator to control functions from a safe
location, which is withdrawn from the bolter boom’s working area. This way the operator
is never underneath unsupported ground. The Scissor Deck is capable of extending
three feet (3’) towards the boom assembly in order to allow for bolt installation.

Revision: A
Deck Ladder - One section of the Deck Ladder is connected to the Scissor Deck
(Figure 1). The remaining section of the Deck ladder is attached to the Articulation deck
plate. The ladder is used for entry and exit to the Scissor Deck and should not be used
as a storage area or place to stand. Figure 2 illustrates the entrance to the Scissor
Deck. The Articulation Deck Plate acts as an access to the Deck Ladder.
A possible pinch point exists at the ladder. The Deck Ladder
moves with the deck when raising and lowering the scissor. No
one should climb the ladder or enter the deck area without
notifying the operator. Serious injury may occur.
The Articulation Deck Plate should not be used as a place to
stand or store material. The Deck Ladder and Articulation Deck
Plate area should be kept clear at all times so as to prevent
possible injury and to provide a way out in the event of an
emergency.

Revision: A
Always use the safety chains and ensure that the handrail
assemblies are correctly installed and in place when operating
the scissor Bolter from the deck. This will help to prevent the
possibility of a fall resulting in personal injury.
ECO Scissor Deck Control Panel - The ECO Scissor Deck Control Panel includes
numerous control levers, buttons and indicator lights for operation of the machine in
Auxiliary Mode. Operating the machine using the Scissor Deck Control Panel helps to
ensure the operator is working away from the boom. A typical ECO Scissor Deck
Control Panel is illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3 – Typical ECO Scissor Deck Control Panel

Tilt Unlock Button – A Tilt Unlock (Override) button is located on the ladder end of the
control panel as illustrated in Figure 1. The Tilt Unlock button is an illuminated
momentary pushbutton. The pushbutton will illuminate when the button is being
pressed or when the boom is tilted out past the angle of the Tilt Interlock System (TIS).
Refer to section OM-BLT-O1 of this operator’s manual for more information regarding
the Tilt Interlock System.
Bolt Rack – The Bolt Rack is located opposite the Control Panel on the platform (Figure
1). It provides storage for necessary bolting equipment and supplies. A small toolbox is
integrated into the bolt rack and provides storage for hand tools, etc...
Screen Hooks – The Screen Hooks are located on either side of the Scissor Deck
(Figure 1). These hooks allow for the hanging of sheets of wire mesh screen used in
the bolting and screening process of the Bolter. The capacity of the hooks is
approximately ten sheets of screen per side.
Revision: A
Foldout Wings – The Foldout Wings are attached to both sides of the Scissor Deck to
allow better access when installing wall bolts.
Wing posts and safety chains, or the optional solid handrail
assembly, must be installed whenever the Foldout Wings are
being used to prevent the possibility of a fall resulting in
personal injury.
BOOM SUPPORT POST
The Boom Support acts as a cradle for the boom when it is lowered onto the Scissor
Deck (Figure 3). The Boom Support Post will reduce the movement of the boom when
tramming which will reduce possible damage to the Scissor Deck or boom components.
When in use the post is placed into a socket in the Scissor Deck floor near the entrance
to the Scissor Deck. The safety chain is to be attached over the boom pivot assembly
when travelling from location to location. When the Boom Support Post is not in use it
can be stored on the deck in a location at the end of the bolt rack away from the work
area of the Scissor Deck.

(Figure 1). A fixed and / or hydraulic style centralizer will be on the drill feed. A brief
description follows of each follows;
> Fixed Centralizer – This centralizer assembly has a fixed bushing that is used to
guide the drill steel in single pass bolting applications when collaring the hole. It is
important to maintain a close proximity to the surface being drilled to help eliminate
drill steel from deviating during the collaring process. If the drill steel deviates from
the desired location the boom may have to be repositioned in order to reduce the
risk of the striker bar from breaking. Refer to section OM-BLT-O7 for more details
on Drilling.
> Hydraulic Centralizer – This centralizer has bushings that can be opened and
closed hydraulically. The Hydraulic centralizer is used for Longhole drilling
applications. The centralizer provides a guide for the drill steel when collaring the
hole. When the drill string approaches the centralizer jaws the hydraulic centralizer
must be opened in order for the coupling to go through. It is important to maintain a
close proximity to the surface being drilled to help eliminate drill steel from
deviating during the collaring process. If the drill steel deviates from the desired
location the boom may have to be repositioned in order to reduce the risk of
breaking the striker bar. Refer to section OM-BLT-O7 for more details on Longhole
Drilling.
A possible pinch point exists between the bushings of the

hydraulic centralizers when they are being used. Keep hands
away from area.

face of the panel.
Note: Some MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolters which have been equipped with an air-
powered greaser may have a selector switch located on the main electrical panel. This
selector switch can be used to limit electrical function to run only the air compressor and
water pump for servicing the unit. This helps to prevent hydraulic oil supply to the boom
assembly during servicing.
Another important electrical panel on the Scissor Bolter is the Battery Charger. The
battery charger charges the machine’s batteries from the 600VAC supply used by the
Powerpack. Figure 5 illustrates a typical battery charger.
Number: OM-BLT-V5
Revision: B
Figure 5 – Typical Battery Charger
The battery charger has an input voltage of 120VAC and output voltage of 24VDC.
Note: To avoid injury, only qualified personnel should enter the battery charger.
Located in the Driver’s (Operator’s) Compartment is the Operator’s Compartment

Junction Box. This electrical enclosure can be mounted on the face of the firewall or on
top of the engine cowling above the firewall. This electrical enclosure typically houses a
Tilt Unlock pushbutton, Tilt toggle switch and a Last Wind Interlock indicator light. The
Tilt toggle switch can be used to tilt the boom in towards and out from the deck platform.
The Tilt Unlock button can be used to override the Tilt Interlock discussed later in this
manual. The Last Wind Indicator light notifies the operator when the high voltage trailing
cable for the Scissor Bolter is close to its last wind on the cable reel. Figure 6 illustrates
a typical Operator’s Compartment Junction Box.
Number: OM-BLT-V5
Revision: B
Figure 6 – Typical Operator’s Compartment Junction Box

Finally, the electrical panel located behind the operator’s control panel on the deck
should be noted. This panel is typically called the Deck Relay Panel and this panel
provides power to and receives signals from the remote pendent as well as houses the
boom’s Tilt Interlock System (described later in manual).

Always use the outriggers to level and stabilize the Bolter prior to
raising the scissor and / or working from the deck.
Whenever possible, test the functionality of the machine controls
when standing at the control console on the scissor deck or when
sitting in the driver’s seat. This will help to ensure that the
operator is in a safe position.
Possible pinch points exist in the area of the boom and handrails.
Keep clear of the boom and handrail area when operating any of
the Bolter’s boom or drill functions and the deck extension
function.
Always ensure all safety chains/cables and guardrails are
installed and in good working condition when operating the
machine. The scissor deck openings and wings have safety
chains/cables that must be set-up in their operating positions
before any work can begin.

Topic: SCISSOR BOLTER CONTROL & INTERLOCKS
TILT INTERLOCK SYSTEM (TIS)

The Tilt Interlock System (TIS) is designed to prevent the boom assembly from being
‘tilted’ onto the working platform while the operator may be standing in its path. The TIS
requires the operator to be located in a safe position when bringing the boom closer
onto the deck.
The TIS is an operator safety system and as such must be inspected

and tested at the beginning of each shift. Failure to do so could
result in injury. Refer to the Daily Operator’s Maintenance Section of
this manual and Maintenance Bulletin MB-ELE1182 for testing
details.
The TIS consists of one proximity switch that is located on the machine’s tilt actuator.
This proximity switch is used to determine whether the boom has been moved into a
position where it will clear the deck area, making it safer for the machine operator.
The boom will only be allowed to tilt in towards the deck only to an angle of
approximately 55° from the deck regardless of the angle at which it is “rolled” to (see
Figure 1). At this point the boom tilt function will be interrupted. The operator will then
have to go to a Tilt Unlock (Override) button located at a position on the Bolter out of the
path of the boom to be able to further tilt the boom onto the deck and place it in its
tramming position. One of the Tilt Unlock (Override) buttons is located on the operator’s
compartment (with optional tilt function toggle) and the other is located on the ladder
end of the scissor deck’s control panel. In order to bring the boom in closer to the deck,
the operator must press and hold one of the Tilt Unlock buttons while engaging the tilt
toggle on the hardwired pendant or the optional tilt toggle at the operator’s compartment
junction box. Alternately, in order to raise the boom into the working position from the
tramming position, the operator must use a Tilt Unlock button and a tilt toggle switch to
override the interlock.
The Tilt Unlock button at the end of the deck has been positioned such that when the
operator uses it to move the boom into or out of the tramming position, the operator will
be positioned away from the boom as much as possible on the deck.
Page 1 of 6
Number: OM-BOLTER-O1
Revision: D
Figure 1 - TIS Angle Illustration
The Tilt Unlock buttons are illuminated pushbuttons. These

pushbuttons will illuminate when the boom has been tilted out past
55° from the deck platform or if the Tilt Unlock button is being
pressed to override the interlock. Alternately, the pushbuttons will
not be illuminated if the boom has been placed within 55° of the
deck. Any deviation from this should be noted and the machine
immediately “tagged out” for inspection.
DRILL IMPACT, FEED AND ROTATION INTERLOCKS

The Drill Impact, Drill Feed and Rotation Locks are interlocked in three ways. The first
interlock is with the TIS and is an operator safety interlock. The second interlock is with
the drill lubrication system and is a machine safety. The third interlock is with the
electrical power pack and is a machine safety.
1 – DRILL IMPACT, DRILL FEED AND ROTATION LOCK INTERLOCK WITH TIS
The Drill Impact, Drill Feed and Rotation Locks are located in the deck’s control
console. Drill impact, drill feed and rotation locks are interlocked with the Tilt Interlock
System so that they are functional only if the boom is tilted out past 55° from the
working platform.
Page 2 of 6
Revision: D
IF THE MACHINE’S TIS IS COMPROMISED, THE DRILL

IMPACT, FEED AND ROTATION LOCK INTERLOCK WILL ALSO
BE COMPROMISED AND THE RESULT MAY BE THE
ADVANCEMENT OF THE DRILL STEEL INTO THE
OPERATOR’S COMPARTMENT WHEN THE BOOM IS IN THE
TRAMMING POSITION.
Inspection of the TIS and removal of the drill steel during tramming
will prevent drill steel advancement into the operator’s compartment
from occurring.
2 – ROCKDRILL LUBE PUMP INTERLOCK

The Scissor Bolter is equipped with an interlock to prevent insufficient lubrication to
damage the rock drill. This interlock is called the Rockdrill Lube Pump Interlock and
works with the rockdrill lubrication pump and the Drill Impact, Feed and Rotation Lock
buttons. The Drill Impact, Feed and Rotation Locks are wired through an oil level
sensor and air pressure switch (see Figure 2) such that if one or both of the air pressure
or oil level for the front head is too low then the Drill Impact, Feed and Rotation Locks
will not function. Also, the rockdrill lubricator pump will stop functioning, which can be
seen by its paddle remaining stationary.
Figure 2 - Rockdrill Lubrication Pump System
Page 3 of 6
Revision: D
Because the air pressure switch and oil level sensor are wired into
the drill impact, feed and rotation locks with the Rockdrill Lube Pump
Interlock, and the daily inspection of the Scissor Bolter’s TIS must be
carried out with the electrical powerpack powering the Bolter, the
operator must ensure that the rockdrill lubrication pump is
operational before testing the TIS. This will help ensure that the drill
impact, feed and rotation locks are non-functional due to the safety
of the TIS and not because there is a lack of oil or air. The inspection
of the TIS includes testing of the drill impact, feed and rotation locks
to ensure that they are non-functional when the boom is tilted in
close to the platform. Please refer to the Tilt Interlock System
Inspection Maintenance Bulletin for more information.
3 - ELECTRICAL POWERPACK INTERLOCK
The electrical powerpack cannot be started if the Drill Impact, Feed or the Rotation
Locks are engaged. The operator will only be able to start the electrical powerpack if
the feed, impact and rotation locks are disengaged. This prevents the drill feed, impact
and rotation from functioning during starting.
DECK EXTENSION INTERLOCK

Another safety system designed into the Scissor Bolter is the Deck Extension Interlock.
This interlock is designed to prevent possible damage to the scissor deck if it is
extended out too far towards the boom. If the deck is extended out too far towards the
boom, a limit switch will be tripped and the rollover clockwise and tilt ‘in’ functions will be
interrupted until the deck is sufficiently retracted.
When the deck is extended out far enough, the Deck Extension indicator light at the
deck’s control panel will illuminate indicating the deck is extended into the area where it
may be damaged by rollover movement or tilting the boom back in towards the deck.
Once the deck has been retracted such that the Deck Extension light is no longer
illuminated, the rollover and tilt functions will be regained.
Page 4 of 6
Revision: D
CABLE REEL LAST WIND INTERLOCK

The cable reel holding the electrical trailing cable has an interlock built into it. The cable
reel Last Wind Interlock is designed to prevent damage to the Scissor Bolter or
electrical sub-station to which it is connected. It warns when the electrical trailing cable
is getting close to being completely spooled out and it trips the brakes when the cable is
completely spooled out. The Last Wind Interlock will illuminate the Last Wind indicator
light located in the Operator’s Compartment when three (3) or less layers of trailing
cable are left on the cable reel. The Interlock will trip the emergency/park brakes and
prevent brake release for tramming when one (1) layer of trailing cable is left on the
cable reel. At this point the operator will have to use the Last Wind Override pushbutton
in order to tram in the forward direction only and reel in trailing cable. This interlock
exists while tramming either in Drive Mode or while using Remote Drive System.
The operator must use the Last Wind Override button on the Driver’s Instrument Dash
to tram the unit and reel in some of the trailing cable. In order to tram the unit, the
operator follows all steps required to start and drive the unit under diesel power as is
done normally but the operator must press and hold the Last Wind Override pushbutton
in order to get the brakes to release.
The operator must ensure that he travels in the direction towards the
trailing cable and is able to reel in some of the trailing cable
otherwise damage to the cable, the cable reel or electrical sub-
station could occur. The operator should drive slowly and ensure
that the cable is not run over.
SCISSOR UP BRAKE INTERLOCK (OPTIONAL)

The Scissor assembly used to raise the working platform and boom assembly has an
interlock built into it. The Scissor Up Brake Interlock is designed to prevent the Scissor
Bolter’s Emergency / Park Brakes from being released when the working platform isn’t
in its lowest position.
If the working platform has been raised to allow clearance of the boom’s hosing over
large pieces of debris it is possible to use the Scissor Up Brake Override switch located
in the operator’s compartment. In order to tram the unit, the operator follows all steps
required to start and drive the unit under diesel power as is done normally but the
operator must press and hold the Scissor Up Brake Override button in order to get the
Emergency / Park Brakes to reset and release.

Number: OM-BLT-O2
Machine Model(s) Affected: MEM-928/946 & MEM-SSB
Revision: D
STARTING
The following procedure is a guide for mines that do not have a standard starting
procedure. FOLLOW MINE SPECIFIC RULES AT ALL TIMES.
• Follow ALL pre-operational checks before starting the Scissor Bolter.
• The Master Disconnect switch (battery power) must be turned to the “ON” position.
• Verify that all Emergency Stop buttons are reset (pulled out). On the Main AC Panel,
the All Emergency Stops / Closed indicator lights must be illuminated.
• Make sure the Emergency/Park Brake switch is applied (pushed in all the way), and
that the Transmission Selector switch is in Neutral and that the Drive/Auxiliary
selector switch is in Drive mode.
• Ensure that no personnel are located in the articulation area of the unit.
• Turn the Ignition switch to the ON position. The horn sounds, indicating low engine
oil pressure, (engine protection 5 second test-beep with Mercedes/CAT engines)
and to alert nearby personnel that the engine is about to be started.
Once the engine is started and the engine oil pressure increases to a sufficient
operating level, the horn stops sounding (Deutz units). The unit typically requires
approximately 5 seconds before the engine oil pressure reaches the minimal level
required to de-activate the horn.
• Press and hold the Horn Off switch to silence the horn (if required).
• The following indicator lights must be illuminated:
> Power On
> Brake On
> Brake Impending
> Drive
> Fuel Enable (Deutz engine only)
> Glow Plugs (Deutz engine only) – indicator light automatically shuts off when
the engine is ready to start.
> Wait to Start (Mercedes/CAT engines as applicable) – indicator light
automatically shuts off when the engine is ready to start.
> Engine Warning and Engine Alarm (Mercedes and CAT engines)
OM-BLT-O2 Page 1 of 8
Number: OM-BLT-O2
Revision: D
It is recommended to wait until the Glow Plugs / Wait To Start

indicator light goes OUT before starting the engine.
• To start the engine, push and hold the start button until the engine starts. As soon as
the engine starts, release the Engine Start button. DO NOT crank the engine for
more than 30 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait two minutes and
then try starting the engine again. If your unit is equipped with a CAT engine, and
you release the start button before the engine starts, you may possibly need to reset
the engine ECM prior to attempting to start the engine again. To do this from the
operator’s compartment, turn the key switch OFF for 10 seconds then turn it back
ON. If your Scissor Bolter has the diesel drill option installed, you may press and
hold the Engine Stop button on the deck control console for 10 seconds.
Some engine starter motors are equipped with overheat protection
devices. These devices automatically prevent start motor over
cranking/overheating. It is recommended that you still follow the
above procedure to prevent damage.
If the engine does not start after several attempts, inform the appropriate maintenance
personnel.
If the horn does not stop sounding after 5 seconds, stop the
unit. Inform the appropriate Maintenance personnel to correct
the problem. Failure to correct the problem may result in
serious damage to the unit.
Although current model MacLean Engineering Scissor Bolters
have an interlock circuit preventing the starter motor from
cranking while the engine is running. It is recommended that
the Engine Start push button not be engaged while the engine
is running.
After the engine is running, the following lights should NOT be illuminated:
 Glow Plugs (Deutz engine only)
 Wait to Start (Mercedes/CAT engines as applicable)
 Engine Low Oil Pressure (Deutz engines only)
For Scissor Bolters using a Deutz 1013C model engine, a glow plug
module is installed for the engine that includes a light in the
driver’s instrument panel. This light may illuminate on the dash
when the Ignition switch is turned ON, but does indicate that the
engine pre-heat system is being energized prior to start-up. Once
the light turns OFF, the engine should start.
Page 2 of 8 OM-BLT-O2
Number: OM-BLT-O2
Revision: D
For Mercedes equipped units. If the Wait to Start indicator

begins to flash at any time, stop the unit immediately, shut
down the engine and turn off the Master Disconnect switch. A
flashing Wait to Start indicator light indicates a malfunction of
the grid heater control circuit that can lead to engine damage,
or fire.
DRIVING
Once the low engine oil pressure warning alarm is stopped, all gauges are checked,
and the vehicle is checked for any possible leaks that may be present with the vehicle
running, the vehicle is ready for operation.
Only operate the vehicle if properly trained, or under the direct
supervision of a trained operator.
Before driving, ensure that the area around the unit is clear of personnel and
equipment. Ensure that the drill steel has been removed from the drill feed in order to
help prevent the advancement of the drill steel into the operator’s compartment. Also,
ensure that the boom support post is installed onto the deck and that the boom is
resting on the support post. This helps prevent damage to the deck, or boom
components during tramming.
The unit must be in Drive mode in order to release the
emergency/park brakes. Apply the service brakes before releasing
the emergency/park brakes.
Emergency/Park Brakes
The emergency/park brakes are released using the Emergency/Park Brake button on
the driver’s instrument panel.
The Emergency/Park Brakes button as shown in Figure 1 has three positions:
• a maintained pushed-in position
• a pulled-out maintained position
• a momentary pulled-out reset position
Pushing the Emergency/Park Brake button in applies the emergency/park brakes.
Pulling it out releases the emergency/park brakes, as long as the proper sequence is
followed. In order to release the brakes, the button must be pulled up past the pulled
(released) position to the reset position. The reset position is a momentary position and
once the operator releases the button the button automatically goes back to the
maintained release position. The emergency/park brakes must release.
Number: OM-BLT-O2
Revision: D
Figure 1 – Emergency/Park Brake Push/Pull/Reset Switch
If the Emergency/Park Brake button is already in the released position when attempting
to release the brakes, the brake button has to be reset to release the brakes. This
situation occurs if the Scissor Bolter was previously shutdown without first applying the
emergency/park brakes, or the EBR circuit was engaged.
The following may engage the EBR circuit:
> Low hydraulic pressure
> Low transmission pressure
> Cable reel interlock
> Scissor interlock
> Bolter cab door switch (if equipped with an enclosed cab option)
Emergency Stopping
In the event of an emergency, the emergency/park brakes can

be applied. The emergency/park brakes are applied by
pressing the Emergency/Park Brake button on the driver’s
instrument panel as explained in the previous DRIVING
section. If the emergency/park brakes must be applied in the
event of an emergency, be prepared for the unit to come to
sudden stop. Do not use the emergency/park brakes to slow
down or stop the unit in a normal braking situation. To do so
could cause unnecessary damage to the braking system and
the machine.
Number: OM-BLT-O2
Revision: D
Service Brakes
The service brakes are applied using the service brake foot pedal. Pressing the service
brake foot pedal applies hydraulic pressure to the axle brakes. Two pressure gauges
are used to indicate drill end service brake pressure and engine end service brake
pressure.
In the event of an emergency, or to park the unit, the emergency/park brakes can be
applied. The emergency/park brakes are applied by pressing the Emergency/Park
Brake button on the driver’s instrument panel.
A brake test should be carried out at the beginning of each shift
or prior to travel in a ramp in order to test the service and
emergency/park brakes and whenever else specified by the
mine. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to you or
others.
Steering
The Scissor Bolter is articulated left and right using a stick steer valve in the operator’s
compartment. Sitting in the driver’s seat, move the stick steer valve handle in the
direction you want to steer. Refer to Figure 2 below and Figure 3 on the following page.
Push stick steer

A pinch-point exists at The Scissor Bolter’s articulation when
the bolter is running. Ensure that the articulation area is clear
before starting or moving the Scissor Bolter.
Tramming
Forward/reverse direction of travel is determined by turning the Transmission Direction
Selector switch (see Figure 4). The arrow selected indicates the machine direction as
the driver is sitting in the seat facing the driver’s instrument panel. Gear changes are
made by selecting the appropriate gear on the Transmission Gear Selector switch.
Shifts between forward and reverse must only be made once the unit has come to a
complete stop.

PARKING AND SHUTDOWN

The following procedure is a guide for mines that do not have a standard parking
procedure. FOLLOW MINE SPECIFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS AT ALL TIMES.
Mine specific rules must be followed when parking the scissor

bolter. Wheel chocking requirements and parking location rules
are specified by the mine, and should be followed by the
operator.
Normal Shutdown Procedure:
1. Park the unit in a designated area on firm level ground. If the Scissor Bolter is to be
parked on an incline where bolting a heading is not completed, the unit must be
turned into the wall with the wheel chocks applied, or the outriggers lowered,
depending on mine specific regulations.
2. Apply the emergency/park brakes and then place the transmission in neutral
3. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before shutting down the Scissor Bolter.
4. Walk around the scissor bolter to check for any fuel, oil, exhaust leaks, broken hoses
or any other visible damage. If any repairs are needed, inform the appropriate
maintenance personnel.
5. Turn the Ignition switch to the OFF position.
6. To complete shutdown, disconnect the battery power supply to the Scissor Bolter by
turning OFF the Master Disconnect switch.

ECO DECK CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

This section of the 928/946 Scissor Bolter operator manual outlines the function and
usage of the scissor deck’s control panel with Electric Control Option (ECO).
Always use the outriggers to level and stabilize the bolter prior to
raising/lowering the scissor, working from the deck and/or moving the
boom. Failure to ensure that outriggers are extended onto stable
ground can cause machine damage and possible injury.
The control panel is the main control station for the bolters drill; boom, bolt and remote
drive functions. The control panel allows the operator to control functions from a safe
location, which is withdrawn from the boom’s working area. (Figure 1 illustrates a typical
layout of the controls of the scissor bolter.)

DRILL CONTROL PANEL

The typical ECO Scissor Bolter Drill Control Panel consists of a number of control
levers, pressure gauges and regulators used to operate the unit efficiently. (Figure 2
illustrates a typical Drill Control Panel layout)
Figure 2 – Drill Control Panel Layout
Page 2 of 26 OM-BLT-O4-ECO
Revision: A
1. Drill Rotation – Control lever allows manual operation of rock drill rotation.
Displacing the drill Rotation valve handle in the upward direction will rotate the
drill’s striking bar in the counter-clockwise direction as indicated in Figure 3
(viewed from the rear of rock-drill). Displacing the valve handle in the downward
direction will rotate the drill’s striking bar in the clockwise direction. Rotation
pressure is indicated on the Drill Rotation Pressure Gauge (see Item 2).
Figure 3 – Drill Rotation Function
2. Drill Rotation Pressure – Gauge shows the hydraulic pressure of the rock drill’s
rotation circuit. Drill Rotation pressure is relevant to the drill feed force applied to
drill string. If the drill feed force is increased the drill rotation pressure will
increase. Normal drill rotation pressure values will depend upon the specific
rock-drill being used. Typical normal operating range is 300 >700 psi (20 > 48
Bar).
3. Drill Feed – Control lever allows manual operation of rock drill feed function.
Displacing the Drill Feed valve handle in the upward direction will move the rock-
drill in the forward direction as indicated in Figure 4. Displacing the valve handle
in the downward direction will retract the rock-drill. Drill Feed pressure is
indicated on the gauge (see item 4). The operator can regulate the drill feed
pressure by using the Drill Feed Regulator (see item 5).
Revision: A
Figure 4 – Drill Feed Function
4. Drill Feed Pressure – Gauge shows the hydraulic pressure being applied to
move the drill. The Drill Feed pressure will increase once drill string comes in
contact with rock surface. Drill Feed pressure will vary depending on the type of
rock being drilled. Normal drilling pressure may be different depending on the drill
option.
5. Drill Feed Regulator – Valve allows control of the drill feed force being applied
to the rock drill while drilling. The handle can be turned in the clockwise direction
to increase drill feed pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease drill feed
pressure (Figure 5). The hydraulic pressure that is being applied is indicated on
the Drill Feed Pressure Gauge.
Lower the regulated drill feed pressure before engaging the drill
feed lock due to various drilling conditions that may exist with
ground support and rock conditions. Once drill feed lock is
engaged adjust the drill feed regulator for optimum performance.
Failure to follow these steps will increase the chance of the drill
steel bending due to higher than required drill feed pressure or
the drill string running loose because of to little drill feed
pressure.
Revision: A
Figure 5 – Drill Feed Regulator
6. Drill Impact – Control lever allows impact operation of the rock drill and, if
equipped, the impact operation of the combi-head drill used for installing split
sets. Displacing the lever in the upward direction will activate the rock drill
percussion for drilling. If equipped, displacing the valve handle in the downward
direction will activate the Combi-head percussion used for installing split sets

REMOTE DRIVE SYSTEM (RDS)

The Remote Drive System (RDS) is the scissor bolters system that allows for tramming
of the machine while on the working platform. Figure 24 illustrates a typical RDS control.
Figure 24 – RDS Control Function
The RDS can be engaged while operating with either the electrical powerpack or the
diesel engine running.
RDS controls consist of a proportional tramming/steering joystick, a RDS Enable switch
and a Cable Reel switch.
A warning alarm must be audible and both ends driving lights

must illuminate when the brakes are released.
It should be noted that the machine may ‘lurch’ or ‘jerk’ as the

brakes release or reapply when tramming and/or bringing the
unit to a stop from a high tram rate. The operator should be
safely and securely positioned in order to prevent possible injury
due to the braking action.
Proportional Joystick – Hydraulic pilot control lever is used to tram and steer the
machine while under RDS control. The joystick allows for forward, reverse, left
Revision: A
and right directional controls. For RDS tramming, the control of tram direction
and steering should be proportional to joystick displacement (the steering
displacement and tramming speed will increase the more the joystick is
displaced).
The RDS control directions (Figure 25) are as follows:

Forward = travel in the direction of the boom end
Reverse = travel in the direction of the engine end
Left = travel in the direction of the deck control panel side of the machine
Right = travel in the direction of the bolt rack side of the machine
In general, the machine will travel in the direction that the RDS joystick is moved.
Figure 25 – RDS Control Directions Convention
The brakes will not release until tramming pressure is present

after the joystick is moved.
In The machine operator has control of the brakes at all times. The unit’s
brakes can be reapplied at any time by releasing either the joystick trigger
or Brake Release switch or by bringing the joystick to the neutral position.
RDS Enable – Trigger switch is used to enable the RDS systems indicated in Figure 26.
The tram and steering functions will be disabled until the trigger switch is
depressed.
Revision: A
Figure 26 – RDS Control Trigger Switch
Cable Reel – Thumb switch is used to engage the cable reel as indicated in Figure 27.
The cable reel will rotate when the button is pushed such that the trailing
cable will spool onto the reel.
Figure 27 – Cable Reel Thumb Switch
Using the RDS Drive System:

The following procedure outlines the recommended use of the RDS Drive System:
• Initial set-up will have the Scissor Bolter in Auxiliary mode and the electric power-pack
or diesel engine running.
Revision: A
• Ensure that the work area of the Scissor Bolter is clear and that there is no debris,
personnel or obstacles around it. The operator must ensure that the articulation area
is clear.
• Ensure that the machine’s outriggers are fully retracted. If not, use the outrigger
toggle switches on the control console to retract them.
Prior to and during tramming ensure that the trailing cable and
water hose will not be run over with the machine. Engage the
cable reel thumb switch to ensure any slack in the trailing cable
is taken up. The brakes will automatically apply if trailing cable
reaches its last wind on the cable reel. The length of the water
hose must be sufficient to allow tramming the required distance.
• Depress the RDS enable trigger and slowly move the RDS joystick in the direction
you wish to travel.
In In order to release the brakes for tramming the following conditions

must be met:
 With powerpack or diesel engine operating, mode selector switch must be in
the auxiliary mode
 Boom must be in the working position
 Deck control console power must be enabled
 The joystick trigger must be engaged (IN)
 The joystick must be displaced in the direction of forward or reverse tram
 Trailing cable must have more than 1 wrap left on spool
If any one of the above conditions is not met, then the unit’s emergency/park brakes will
not be released.
• Once the machine has been moved to its new working position, release RDS Enable
trigger and allow the joystick to return to its center, or neutral, position.
It should be noted that the machine may ‘lurch’ or ‘jerk’ as the

brakes release and reapply when tramming and bringing the unit
to a stop from a high tram rate. The operator should be safely
and securely positioned in order to prevent possible injury due
to the braking action.
Revision: A
• Using the outrigger control toggle switches, place the outriggers on the ground and
level the machine.
When extending the outriggers ensure that the outriggers are

placed on solid ground.

REMOTE PENDANT OPERATION

This section of the 928/946 Scissor Bolter Operator’s Manual outlines the function and
usage of the remote pendant.
The operator must keep clear, and be very cautious of the
boom, scissor deck, handrail and wing areas whenever
operating the remote pendant. This helps to ensure that
possible pinch points are avoided.
The remote pendant and its cable must be inspected at the
beginning of each shift to ensure they are free of damage and
that the proper functions are provided and are working
properly. Refer to remote pendant maintenance information for
pre-operational inspection information.
The remote pendant is used as an alternative to using the deck control console and aids
the operator in handling the screen. The remote pendant provides flexibility in the
operation of the vehicle. It must be noted that whenever possible, the controls for the
boom and drill functions at the deck control console must be used to ensure that the
operator is as far away from the boom as possible. Figure 1 illustrates a typical remote
pendant. For vehicles equipped with the ‘two hand’ operated remote pendant, see
Figure 2.

Bolt/Off/Boom Toggle Switch

This switch is used to select between BOLT and BOOM mode, as well as to turn the
remote pendant OFF. Once a mode is selected, only the function switches available for
that mode active. There are two configurations available for this switch. They are
explained below.
• Maintained – This configuration allows the operator to operate the remote
pendant with one hand, as the toggle switch remains in the selected position.
See Figure 1.
The BOLT/OFF/BOOM toggle switch must always be placed in
the OFF position unless the operator is using the remote
pendant. This helps to prevent inadvertent boom movement
which could cause injury, or death.
• Momentary – This configuration requires the operator to operate the remote
pendant with two hands, as the toggle switch returns to the OFF position once
released. See Figure 2.
Function Toggle Switches – The seven function toggle switches on the remote
pendant are used to control the bolt/boom functions. These switches are momentary,
meaning they must return to their Central, or Neutral positions when not pressed. The
switches must be pressed in the desired direction for the function to be activated.
Number: OM-BLT-O5
Revision: E
While in the BOLT function control mode, the following seven functions can be
controlled with the pendant:
• Bolt Feed (fwd/rev)
• Bolt Rotation (clockwise/counter-clockwise)

INLET WATER HOOK-UP
Before hooking up the water hose flush it in order to eliminate large pieces of rust or
scale that may have accumulated in the mine’s water supply. Hook up the water supply
and open the Y-strainer flushing valve to clean the screen filter inside strainer. See
Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Inlet Water Regulator
1. Water Pressure Gauge - Shows the regulated water pressure.

2. Water Regulator - Regulates mine water pressure to 50 PSI. Turning adjustment
IN, decreases the water pressure. Turning the adjustment OUT, increases the water
pressure.
3. Ball Valve - Used to clean, or flush the Y-strainer before allowing the mine water
supply into the system. A plugged Y-strainer inhibits the water pumps performance
and may cause the water pumps overload circuit to trip.
4. Y- Strainer - Used to filter large pieces of rust, or scale from the mine water supply.
Inside the unit, a wire mesh screen must be flushed at the beginning of shift.

INLET WATER HOOK-UP (DIESEL BOLTING)
During diesel bolting operations, the electric water pump, or booster does not aid the
Bolter’s flushing system. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the regulated mine
water inlet pressure back to the full mine water pressure, we do this by using the water
selector valve.
The mine water selector valve is located in the Bolter’s front bumper (see Figure 7 and
Figure 8).

MINE AIR HOOK-UP (DIESEL BOLTING)
During diesel bolting operations, the Bolter’s main electrically driven compressor is not
available for the lubrication circuits. For this reason, there is an engine mounted
compressor that feeds the drill lubrication system with the required compressed air.
There is another alternative setup that allows the use of the mine’s compressed air
supply to supply the bolter with compressed air. This setup is used if neither of the on
board compressors are available. See Figure 9.

Revision: C
DRILL STRING
Choose a suitable drill steel and drill bit for the bolting operation to be carried out and
install them onto the rockdrill. Our experience has been that threaded button bits work
better. For normal rock bolting applications, we recommend the use of 1 1/4" (33mm)
button bits with 1" rope (R25) thread. In soft rock, threaded cross bits may also work.
The usual drill steel is 1" hex with 1" rope (R25) thread on the bit end and 1 1/4" inch
rope (R32) thread on the coupling end. The length varies according to the required
length of the drill hole. Some common steel lengths used are 6'10", 7' 9", and 8’ 6".
BOOM POSITIONING
Using the remote drive system (RDS) the Bolter can be trammed into the working area.
Always follow a safe sequence, stay under bolted ground, and start by bolting the back.
The scissor deck can now be raised to a comfortable working height (generally 6 to 7
feet from the back) for drilling.
Use the TRANSVERSE FEED, TILT, ROLLOVER and CROWD controls to place the drill feed
into position for drilling. Depending on the mine’s specific ground control requirements,
screen may be required for the back and walls during the drilling and bolting operations.
The outriggers must be placed on the ground to level and stabilize the Bolter during
drilling and bolting operations. Sting the rubber stinger to the face of the rock to be
drilled using the BOOM CROWD control, crowd the drill steel close the rock face using the
drill crowd.
Refer to section OM-BLT-O4-ECO/HCO for details on the boom controls and to section
OM-BLT-07 for details on screen handling.

Revision: C
DRILLING PROCEDURE
The actual drilling procedure depends on the ground conditions

where the Bolter is used, but MacLean Engineering & Marketing Co.
Limited recommends the following basic procedure.
With the stinger ‘stung’ to the back:
1. Engage the ROTATION LOCK switch and allow water to flow out of drill bit (ECO). HCO
requires the water to be turned on and off manually.
2. Pull up the DRILL IMPACT lever (HCO), or engage the DRILL IMPACT LOCK button
(ECO) until the drill percussion starts to hammer.
3. Slowly pull up on the DRILL FEED lever to bring the drill bit in contact with the rock.
4. Feather the DRILL FEED lever to collar the hole.
5. Once the drill bit completely enters the rock, engage the DRILL FEED LOCK button.
6. Assess drill penetration.
7. If required, adjust the feed pressure regulator for optimum performance (generally
between 1100 to 1800 psi depending on ground conditions, type of rock drill used
and type of feed used, see Table of Hydraulic Drill Settings later in this section).
8. If a hydraulic centralizer is used, open it before drill coupling makes contact.
9. When the hole is finished, shut OFF the DRILL FEED LOCK and DRILL IMPACT
functions, and close the hydraulic centralizer.
10. Using the DRILL FEED lever, retract the drill steel from the hole.
11. Return the drill head to the bottom of the drill feed and shut OFF the DRILL ROTATION
LOCK function.
The drill feed pressure, impact pressure and rotation pressure can all be checked at the
operator’s dash. The gauges are located on the main control panel on the deck.
Refer to section OM-BLT-O4-ECO/HCO for control panel layout and operation.
Number: OM-BLT-O6
Revision: C
Always try to drill perpendicular to the rock face.

Ensure that water flow exists before drilling occurs. Failure to have
water flow during drilling can cause the drill steel to plug with drill
cuttings, and stick in the hole.
Ensure lubrication of the front head of the drill is ON while drilling.
In badly fractured ground, it is a good idea to run the drill steel up
the hole a few times with the drill rotation ON, to clear it.
Always keep the drill steel lined up with the shank adaptor (striking
bar) of the drill. Drilling off-line causes excess wear on drill string
and decreases penetration rate.
To loosen the drill string, shut OFF the drill rotation function and let the impact
mechanism hammer for about 5 seconds. After a while, you are able to tell that the bit is
loose by the change in frequency of the sound.
NEVER ROTATE THE DRILL STEEL WHILE HOLDING THE BIT

WITH YOUR HAND.

Figure 11 – Typical Hydraulic Rockdrill

1. Accumulators - The high and low-pressure accumulators are comprised of nitrogen
gas on one side of a rubber diaphragm. They act as shock absorbers for the
hydraulic system. The rubber diaphragms tend to rupture on a periodic basis and
may need to be replaced and recharged with nitrogen. If you notice the drill impact
hoses vibrating violently, the high-pressure accumulator may need recharging. As
you gain experience with the drill, you start to notice when this occurs. The
accumulators must be checked on regular intervals by using the impact hour meter
as a reference. Recharging of accumulators must be done by qualified mechanical
personnel only.
2. Water Flushing Seals - Always monitor the drill to ensure that the water seals are in
good shape. If there is water coming out of the drill at its front head (flushing cover),
this is usually an indication that these seals are defective and must be replaced.
3. Rubber Cap/Protector - Covers the front head of the rock drill. The rubber
cap/protector helps to keep cuttings out of the drill thereby lengthening its service
life. The rubber protector is necessary to prevent debris/cuttings from entering the
unit.
DO NOT RUN THE DRILL PERCUSSION (HAMMER) WITHOUT
TOUCHING THE DRILL BIT FIRMLY AGAINST THE ROCK,
UNLESS TAKING OFF A DRILL BIT. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE
DRILL PISTON MAY OCCUR.
4. Lubrication - Ensure that the drill’s oil lubrication is functional when the drill rotation
is engaged. Failure to have the drill’s oil lubrication may cause premature wear of
the drill and significantly reduce the useful life of the drill.
Refer to section OM-BLT-O13 if the Bolter is equipped with a drill lubrication system.

ANSWERS TO SOME COMMON DRILLING QUESTIONS

Q - The Rockdrill hoses are vibrating badly and the drill seems to be drilling
slower.
A - The accumulator diaphragms may have ruptured. They must be replaced and
recharged.
Q - The Rockdrill is drilling slowly.

A - Make sure that the bit, and threads on drill steel, coupling and shank adapter are in
good shape before checking anything else.
A - Check the hydraulic drill comparison chart to make sure the correct impact and
rotation pressures are met. The feed pressure must be enough so that the drill does not
bounce but not so much as to bind the steel and slow down the rotation.
Q – Rockdrill penetration stops suddenly. The hammer and rotation are working
proper. I have checked the bit, steel and shank adapter. What could be the
problem?
A - Check that drill feed chain is adjusted properly. Too much slack here can cause it to
jam between the sprocket and idler wheel. Also check to ensure that the feed rail is not
bent, causing excess friction. Ensure that the hydraulic hoses going to the drill are not
pinched as this partially cuts off oil flow to the drill. Check for loose, or jammed rock
cuttings in the feed’s rail.
Q - The drill impact, feed and rotation locks do not function. The drill impact, feed
and rotation functions do function manually (with the hydraulic valve handles)
but the functions do not work when the push buttons are used.
A - Check to see whether the lubricator pump is operating. If it is not functioning then
there is likely insufficient air pressure, or insufficient oil level in the lubricator. If the
boom is tilted in towards 55° of the deck platform, then the tilt interlock system is
interlocking the drill feed and rotation locks. Attempt to reposition the Scissor Bolter so
that the boom is angled out from the deck greater than 55°.

LONGHOLE DRILLING PROCEDURE

MacLean Engineering & Marketing Co. Limited recommends the following procedure for
longhole drilling with the MEM-928/946 ECO/HCO Scissor Bolters. Mine specific
regulations and procedures may vary.
Always follow mine specific regulations and procedures with regards
to longhole drilling.
Some MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolters have an optional longhole centralizer to facilitate
drilling holes for cable bolting applications.
Centralizer Jaws
Figure 12 – Typical Hydraulic Centralizer

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRILL THESE LONGER HOLES
WITHOUT THIS SPECIAL CENTRALIZER, AS IT CAN BE VERY
DANGEROUS TO DO SO. ALWAYS INSPECT AND ENSURE
THAT THE HYDRAULIC CENTRALIZER IS WORKING
PROPERLY, FREE OF HYDRAULIC LEAKS AND ENSURE
THAT THE JAWS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.
Prior to setting up to drill long holes with the 928/946 Scissor Bolter, the operator must
do a complete initial inspection of the bolter to ensure that it is in good operating
condition. The operator must then do an initial inspection of the work area to ensure it is
safe to work in the area to be drilled.
The operator can now set up the bolter for drilling doing so as he would for standard
operations of the bolter.
1. We highly recommend the use of male/female “M/F” type drill rods. These are easier
to use and give better penetration than standard drill rods and couplings. The initial
drill rod on the bolter is recommended to be an 8 foot length. The rest of the drill
string rods can be 6 feet lengths.
2. Install the correct striking bar on the drill to match the thread size of the M/F drill
rods.
Number: OM-BLT-O6
Revision: C
3. If there is a fixed drill centralizer on the bolter as well as a hydraulic centralizer, the
insert on the fixed centralizer must be removed to allow the coupling end of the M/F
rods to pass through it when drilling the longer holes. See Figure 13.
Fixed
Fixed Centralizer
Centralizer Insert
Figure 13 – Typical Fixed Centralizer

4. Raise the drill tower into the drilling position.
5. To install the drill steel onto the drill:
a) Select the correct size drill bit and screw it counter-clockwise onto the drill steel.
b) Open the hydraulic centralizer jaws from the console controls. See Figure 16.
c) Advance the sliding deck to the drill tower.
d) Place the drill steel onto the striker bar and manually screw the drill steel counter-
clockwise onto the drill.
e) Using the remote pendant, close the hydraulic centralizer jaws around the drill
steel.
f) Retract the sliding deck away from the drill tower.
NEVER HOLD THE DRILL STEEL WITH YOUR HAND WHILE IT
IS ROTATING. ALSO, WHEN CHANGING BITS, REMOVE THE
USED ONE BY HAND AND PUT ON A NEW ONE ON BY HAND.
6. Lower the outriggers to stabilize the vehicle. Adjust the drill boom and slide to the
desired position for drilling.
7. Sting the boom to the back, collar the drill hole about 4 – 5 inches, then open the
hydraulic centralizer jaws. This prevents premature wearing of the centralizer jaws.
8. Drill the length of the steel, allowing the coupling of the M/F rod to enter the
centralizer so it can be clamped in the jaws to allow for adding additional rods. See
Figure 14. Following the Drilling procedure as outlined in the Operator’s Manual.
Number: OM-BLT-O6
Revision: C
Figure 14 – Typical M/F Rod Coupling

9. Stop the drill feed, drill impact, and drill steel rotation functions.
10. To loosen the striker bar from the drill rods:
• On the ECO model, activate the rod rattle by pushing the DRILL ROD RATTLE
button on the drill dash for about 5 seconds. See Figure 15.
• On the HCO model, activate the drill impact lever for about 5 seconds. You will
hear the sound of the drill rod loosening. See Figure 15.

11. Close the hydraulic centralizer jaws over the coupling using the DRILL ROD CLAMP
switch on the drill console. See Figure 16. Turning the switch to the right locks the
centralizer jaws, and provides constant hydraulic pressure to the jaws. This also
disables the centralizer toggle switch on the remote pendant. Turning the switch to
the left releases the constant pressure from the jaws and unlocks the centralizer
jaws.

12. To disconnect the drill from the rods.

a) Rotate the drill steel clockwise and slowly retract the drill feed.
b) Once the drill steel is disconnected from the drill rod in the centralizer jaws,
lower the drill to the bottom of the slide.
c) Advance the deck to the drill tower.
13. Screw the new drill rod on to the steel in the centralizer jaws by hand.
14. Using the remote pendant, bring the drill up slowly until it comes in contact with the
drill rod.
15. Retract the deck away from the drill tower.
NEVER USE THE DRILL ROTATION FUNCTION WHILE
HOLDING THE DRILL STEEL. PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH
MAY OCCUR.
16. Return to the drill console and rotate the drill steel counter-clockwise using the drill
rotation, to thread on the new drill rod.
17. Turn the DRILL ROD CLAMP switch to the left to unlock the drill rod clamp and open
the hydraulic centralizer.
18. Start the drill rotation function and wait for water to start coming out of the drill hole.
19. Start the IMPACT and DRILL FEED function to continue drilling the next rod.
20. Continue adding drill rods as necessary to get the drill hole to the required depth.
21. When the drill hole is completed, stop the drill feed, rotation and impact functions.
22. Lower the drill rods a couple of inches, and activate the DRILL ROD RATTLE switch (for
ECO models), or the DRILL IMPACT lever (for HCO models) and rattle the drill string
for about 5 seconds. You will hear the rods loosen by the sound change. See Figure
15.
23. Lower the drill string until the coupling between the first two drill rods enters the
hydraulic centralizer jaws.
24. Stop the drill feed and clamp the coupling in the centralizer using the DRILL ROD
CLAMP switch. See Figure 16.
25. Rotate the drill clockwise and lower the drill using the drill feed to disconnect the drill
from the drill rods. Lower the drill away from the rods.
26. Advance the deck to the drill tower, go to the drill, and manually unscrew the drill rod
from the drill string. The remote pendant is not required for this function.
27. Place the removed drill rod in a safe place and return to the drill console.
Number: OM-BLT-O6
Revision: C
28. Retract the deck and advance the drill up to the coupling in the centralizer and rotate
the striker bar counter-clockwise to attach to the drill string. Do not screw the striker
bar all the way into the coupling.
29. Open the centralizer by turning the DRILL ROD CLAMP switch to the left.
30. Lower the drill string to the next coupling on the string and close the centralizer jaws
using the DRILL ROD CLAMP switch. Continue doing this step-by-step until the drill

Topic: SCREEN HANDLING PROCEDURE
SCREEN HANDLING PROCEDURE

The MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolters handling design is such that one person can handle
and install sheets of welded wire screen.
Both guardrails have screen hooks that can carry approximately 10 sheets of 5’ by 11’
welded wire mesh screen. Once the rig is set up in the workplace, we recommend the
following basic procedure for installing screen:
• Position Boom in the area for drilling the next hole.
• Position stinger close to the rock face but leave enough room to slip the screen in
behind.
• Remove the next sheet of screen from the hangers.
• Place screen halfway across the stinger, between the back and the stinger face.
The screen should now be draped over the rubber stinger. Extend the drill crowd
until the drill steel protrudes through the screen, acting as a second hand. The
screen can now be rotated into position.
• Keeping one hand on the screen to stabilize it, use the pendent to manipulate the
Boom to the exact position and adjust screen. Use the pivot ‘crowd’ (pendent
control) to press the stinger against the back; this will hold the screen in position until
ground support is installed.
CAUTION:
Avoid possible pinch point with hand when pushing screen against
back.
• Drilling may now be carried out
Use caution when positioning the drill. Ensure that the drill steel will move
through one of the openings of the wire mesh.

10. Release the ‘bolt feed’ lever and use the ‘bolt rotation’ lever to start tightening the
rock bolt. As the rockbolt tightens, it may be necessary to “jog” the ‘bolt feed’ lever
to ensure the bolt drive dolly remains engaged with the rockbolt.
Never hold the ‘bolt feed’ lever while tightening the rockbolt. The friction
created between the bolt drive dolly face and the rockbolt’s washer may not
allow the rockbolt to be tightened to its necessary torque specification.
11. Once the rock bolt has been tightened (stalls the bolt rotation), release the ‘bolt
rotation’ lever.
12. Engage the ‘bolt feed’ lever in the reverse direction to return the bolting head to the
bottom of the bolt feed.
13. Continue this procedure for the next bolt to be installed.
WARNING:
Always ensure that the rubber protector for the rotation head or combi-
head/split-set driver is in place on its shank rod. The rubber protector is
necessary to prevent debris/cuttings from entering the unit. The rubber
protector must be in place on the shank rod and in good condition
otherwise damage to the rotation head or combi head/split-set driver
will be incurred.

8. Place Resin Cartridge Installation Tool up to the rock face and line it up with the
drilled hole. Using the plunger in the tool, push the resin cartridge as far into the
hole as the plunger will allow. Be careful not to hook or catch the resin cartridge on
any sharp surfaces (i.e. – screen), as this will tear open the cartridge, spill the
contents and not allow full installation of the cartridge.
The resin cartridges should have some sort of device on them to hold the
cartridges in the hole. If not, an anchor device may have to be placed onto
the cartridge prior to installation.
9. Install any remaining resin cartridges for the hole in the same manner.
10. Use the ‘cradle pivot’ lever to rotate the drill feed out of the way and to position the
bolt feed underneath the hole.
11. Use the ‘bolt feed’ lever to start pushing the rebar into the hole.
Some rebar installations may require rotation of the rebar while pushing up
the hole through the resin cartridges. This requirement is determined by the
mine’s Ground Control office. Rotation of the rebar can be carried out by
engaging the ‘bolt rotation’ lever while pushing the rebar into the hole.
12. Use the ‘bolt centralizer’ lever to swing the rebar holding centralizer out of the way.
13. Use the ‘bolt feed’ lever to push the rebar properly into the hole, placing the rebar’s
washer firmly against the rock, and then release the ‘bolt feed’ lever.
14. Once the rebar has been properly pushed into the hole, spin the rebar for the
necessary length of time to mix the resin.
The mine’s Ground Control office will determine the proper amount of mixing
required.

SWELLEX BOLT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

To install Swellex bolts, MacLean Engineering & Marketing Co. Limited recommends
the following basic procedure.
Depending on the mine's specific ground control requirements, screen may be required
for the back and walls during the drilling and bolting operations (Reference section OM-
BLT-O7 of Operator’s Manual for Screen Handling Procedure).
Figure 1 – Swellex Tool

Follow recommended Drilling Procedure be as follows (Reference section OM-BLT-O6
of Operator’s Manual for Drilling Procedure):
1. Drill the hole to required depth to accommodate the bolt to be installed.
2. Once hole is drill to depth and during retraction it may be necessary to run drill steel
back into the hole to ensure that it is free of any obstructions. Depending on the
ground conditions.
3. Once the drill is retracted all the way back, it may be necessary to move drill crowd
back in order to clear the screen prior to pivoting into bolt feed position.
Page 1 of 2
Number: OM-BLT-O11
Revision: ORIGINAL
4. Place Swellex bolt partially into the drilled hole before feeding Swellex dolly onto the
head of the bolt. It is necessary to hold on to the bolt to help line up and to make
sure that it is properly inserted into the Swellex chuck.
WARNING:
Do not engage the Bolt Rotation function when installing Swellex bolts.
5. The bolt can then be fed all the way into the hole. Apply some bolt feed pressure to
secure the screen as tight as possible to the rock face.
WARNING:
Never use impact function in the case where a Combi-Head is in use,
this will cause damage to the seals inside the Swellex chuck.
6. Start up Swellex pump to pump up maximum pressure required to allow for

maximum advantage of the friction bolt. The minimum pressure to be applied into
the swellex bolt will be determined by the mine’s Ground Control Office. In order to
pump water into the Swellex bolt, the Swellex valve handle is pulled upwards.
Releasing the valve handle and letting it drop to its lower position releases water.
WARNING:
head/split -set driver is in place on its shank rod. The rubber protector
is necessary to prevent debris/cuttings from entering the unit. The
rubber protector must be in place on the shank rod and in good
condition otherwise damage to the rotation head or combi head/split-set
driver will be incurred.

BOLTING OPTIONS
The MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolter is equipped with one of two bolting options: a Rotation
Head or a Combination Head. The Rotation Head allows for the installation of
rockbolts, rebar and Swellex. The Combination Head allows for the installation of
rockbolts, rebar, Swellex and split-sets. Both are controlled by the Bolt Feed valve
handle for feeding along the bolt feed. Both are controlled by the Bolt Rotation valve
handle for rotation or rotation and impact. Figure 1 illustrates the typical Rotation Head
assembly and Figure 2 illustrates the typical Combination Head assembly.
BOLT DOLLY / SPLIT SET DRIVER – Depending on Ground support being used two
options are available:
BOLT DOLLY – Used to provide rotational torque when installing various types of
ground support. A swellex adapter may be installed directly onto the dolly when
required. A Bolt dolly is shown in Figure 1.

(Refer to Section OM-BOLTER-O4 for more information on Functions 7, 8 and 9)
Both the Rotation Head and Combination Head assemblies use shank rods and dollies
for bolting tools, many variations of these tools exist. Refer to Dolly Matrix (#1010422)
for a listing of these tools.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
Both the Rotation Head and Combi Head can be calibrated using the "rotation pressure
- torque charts" provided below. The following describes the adjustment process for the
two bolting options:
1. Place the dolly on a pre-tightened bolt in the rock cut.
2. Engage the CCW Bolt Rotation by lifting the bolt rotation control handle. Bolt
Feed must be released when the final torque is being applied to the bolt.
Bolt feed pressure adds an element of friction between the dolly and the bolt
washer plate that will lessen the achievable torque on the bolt, resulting in
improper bolt torques.
3. Determine the correct pressure using the "rotation pressure-torque chart" (see
Figure 5 and 6).

Topic: Drill Lubrication System
DRILL LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The MEM-928/946 Scissor Bolter is equipped with a rock drill lubrication system which
is used to lubricate the fronthead of the rock drill on the Scissor Bolter. The lubrication
system is also used to lubricate the transverse feed’s chain and the Combination Head
if the Scissor Bolter is equipped with the Combination Head option. This lubrication
system is located at the end of the deck’s control console.
The drill lubrication system supplies atomized oil to the fronthead of the rock drill. The
system also provides a means of pressurizing the fronthead of the drill with air pressure
to restrict drill cuttings and water from entering the fronthead.
Air Pressure Switch
Reservoir and
Filler/Breather
Pressure
Regulator
Oil Level Sensor Switch
Capillary Tube
Figure 1 - Drill Lube Pump System
The drill lubrication system works by pumping a metered supply of oil into the air stream
leading to the fronthead of the drill. The amount of oil that enters the air stream is
approximately 1/10th of a litre per hour.
The air pressure for carrying the oil to the fronthead is generally regulated to 35 to 40
PSI. The pressure switch in the system monitors the air pressure; if the air pressure
falls below 25 PSI, the drill feed and rotation locks (electrical detents) will be disabled,
preventing the operator from drilling. If the drill fails to operate, make certain there is air
pressure of at least 25 PSI from the regulator.
Page 1 of 2
Number: OM-BLT-O13
Revision: ORIGINAL
An oil level switch is also incorporated into the drill lube system. This switch is a
capacity proximity sensor that if adjusted correctly, will determine if the oil in the pump
reservoir has fallen below an acceptable level. If the oil level drops below that
acceptable level, once again the drill feed and rotation locks will be disabled.
Because the air pressure switch and oil level sensor are wired into the drill
feed and rotation locks, the daily inspection of the Scissor Bolter’s Tilt
Interlock System (TIS) must be carried out with the electrical powerpack
powering the Bolter. The operator must ensure that the drill lubrication pump
is operational before testing the TIS this will help ensure that the drill feed and
rotation locks are non-functional due to the safety of the TIS and not because
there is a lack of oil or air. The inspection of the TIS includes testing of the
drill feed and rotation locks to ensure that they are non-functional when the
boom is tilted in close to the deck. Please refer to the Control and Functional
Modes section of this Operator’s Manual and the Tilt Interlock System
Inspection Maintenance Bulletin for more information.
The pump system (generally used in a grease application) has a paddle that revolves
around inside the reservoir (to wipe the grease down from the sides of the bowl in a
grease pumping application). The paddle provides a means to determine that the pump
is operating; if the paddle is revolving, the pump is operating.
As the pump piston reciprocates, rock drill oil is forced through a small capillary tube
placed inside the airline for a distance. The air then picks up the oil from the output of
the capillary tube and carries it to the fronthead of the rockdrill.
The lubricator unit should be filled at the beginning of each shift with rock drill
oil.
For Scissor Bolters using a Rotation Head for the installation of rockbolts, rebar and
Swellex, the lubrication is set to default to the rock drill. The lubrication will switch to the
transverse feed chain when the transverse is operated.
For units using a Combination Head for the installation of rockbolts, rebar, Swellex and
splitsets, the lubrication is set to default to the Combination Head. The lubrication will
switch to the rock drill whenever the rock drill is operated. The lubrication will switch to
the transverse feed chain when the transverse is operated.

RADIO REMOTE PENDANT OPERATION
RADIO REMOTE PENDANT OPERATION

This section of the 928/946 Scissor Bolter Operator Manual outlines the function and
usage of the Radio Remote Pendant System.
The Radio Remote Pendant System on the 928/946 Scissor Bolter is used as an
alternative to the control panel on the deck control console or to an optional hardwired
pendant. It allows for the bolting of the screen to be controlled from a position closer to
the boom than the deck control console allows. Figures 1 & 2 illustrate a typical Radio
Remote Pendant System.
Transmitter Pendant
Radio
Receiver Box
Radio Bypass Selector
Figure 1 – Typical Radio Remote Pendant System

The Radio Remote Pendant System consists of a radio receiver box, a transmitter
pendant and a radio bypass selector switch box. The transmitter pendant sends radio
signal(s) to the radio receiver box that in turn controls the boom/bolt function(s).
The radio bypass selector switch is used to bypass the transmitter pendant E-Stop and
to disable functions in the “off” position when it is not being used, especially, when
tramming on diesel to prevent machine E-Stop shutdown if the transmitter battery
becomes discharged. The momentary ‘start’ position allows the transmitter pendant
E-Stop to be bypassed while the radio receiver box powers up and until an ‘E-Stop
Page 1 of 4
Revision: Original
pulled out’ signal is received from the transmitter pendant. During the maintained ‘on’
position the transmitter pendant E-Stop and other functions are operable.
After the master-switch has been turned off, the radio bypass selector switch
must be placed in the ‘off’ position before 24 VDC power can be turned on again.
The transmitter pendant consists of an ‘E-Stop’ button, a ‘Bolt/Boom’ toggle switch and
seven other toggle switches which can be used to control boom, bolt, deck and scissor
functions. It also has a full length ‘safety bar’ located on the top edge of the transmitter.
This is a push-to-operate (PTO) safety bar that electronically disconnects all toggle
switches when it is released. Therefore, the PTO safety bar must be pressed in order to
activate any function through the toggle switches.
The ‘E-Stop’ button is used to shutdown the machine in the event of an emergency
situation. To activate the ‘E-Stop’ button, simply depress the mushroom cap of the
pushbutton. This pushbutton should ‘lock down’ into place and maintain the ‘E-Stop’
state. To de-activate the ‘E-Stop’, the mushroom cap pushbutton should be twisted
clockwise and it should then ‘pop up’ and return to its ‘up’ position.

The ‘Bolt/Boom’ toggle is a maintained style toggle switch, which allows the operator to
place the Control System into Bolt or Boom mode. This toggle switch should remain in
position once selected, for example, once placed in the ‘Boom’ position the switch
should maintain this position unless the toggle is moved to the ‘Bolt’ position.
Page 2 of 4
Revision: Original
The other seven toggle switches on the transmitter pendant are used to control the
below-mentioned Bolt/Boom functions. These toggle switches are momentary style
switches, meaning they should return to their central neutral position when not being
pressed. The switches must be pressed in the desired direction for the function to be
activated.
While in Bolt mode, the following seven functions can be controlled with the pendant:
• Bolt Feed (fwd/rev)
• Bolt Rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise)
• Drill Centralizer (Open/Close – Hydraulic Only)
• Pivot (In/Out or Drill/Bolt)
• Drill Feed (fwd/rev)
• Drill Rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise)
• Bolt Centralizer (Extend/Retract)
While in Boom mode, the following functions can be controlled with the pendant:
• Drill Crowd (fwd/rev)
• Transverse (left/right)
• Boom Crowd (fwd/rev)
• Rollover (clockwise/counterclockwise)
• Scissor (Raise/Lower)
• Tilt (in/out)
• Deck (extend/retract)
Whenever the transmitter pendant is not in use it should be stored on the hangers
provided on the deck’s hand railings. The radio receiver box can be unplugged from the
deck control console and a ‘dummy’ plug be installed in its place. The ‘dummy’ plug
must be connected to the deck control console whenever the radio receiver box is not
connected. If the radio receiver box is unplugged from the deck console, it should be
stored in a safe and dry place to prevent damage.
The transmitter pendant must be inspected at the beginning of each shift to

ensure that it is free of damage and that the proper functions are provided and
are working properly. Please refer to Radio Pendant maintenance information for
pre-operational inspection information.
The operator should always maintain a safe distance from all moving parts and
be very cautious around the boom, handrail and wing areas whenever operating
with the Radio Remote Pendant System to ensure possible pinch points are
avoided.

1 - REMOTE DRILL HARDWIRED PENDANT
The Remote Drill Pendant on the 928/946 Scissor Bolter is used as an alternative to the
control panel on the deck that allows the operator to complete the drilling cycle from a
remote location. The remote pendant gives flexibility in the operation of the Scissor Bolter.
Figure 2 illustrates a typical Remote Drill pendant.
It should be noted that whenever possible, the manual controls for the boom
and drill functions at the deck’s operator console should be used.

EMERGENCY STOP
Figure 2 – Typical Remote Drill Pendant
The Remote Drill pendant consists of an ‘Emergency Stop’ button and four other toggle
switches which can be used to control Rotation/Water flushing, Drill Impact, Feed
forward/reverse and Drill Centralizer open/close functions.
Emergency Stop Button -– is used to shutdown the Scissor Bolter’s electric Powerpack
and diesel engine in the event of an emergency situation. To engage the ‘Emergency Stop’
button, simply depress the mushroom cap of the pushbutton. This pushbutton should ‘lock’
down into place and maintain the ‘Emergency Stop’ state. To disengage the ‘Emergency
Stop’, the mushroom cap pushbutton should be twisted clockwise and it should then ‘pop up’
and return to its upper position.

Revision: ORIGINAL
Drill Rotation / Water Flushing Switch – This is a maintained toggle switch. Pushing the
toggle switch in the upward direction will turn “ON” the rock drill’s rotation in a counter
clockwise (CCW) direction (viewed from the rear of rockdrill. See Figure 3) and turn “ON” the
water flushing for the drill. Pushing the toggle switch in the downward direction will turn the
Drill Rotation and Water flushing functions “OFF”.
REAR OF DRILL
Figure 3 – Counter Clockwise Drill Rotation
Drill Impact Switch – This is a maintained toggle switch that allows rockdrill impact
operation. Pushing the toggle switch in the upward direction will turn “ON” the rock drill
percussion for drilling (impact). Pushing the toggle switch in the downward direction will turn
the Drill Impact function “OFF”.
For units equipped with Low Pressure Collaring the Drill Impact pressure will
be such that if feed force isn’t pushing the drill string against the rock it will be
diminished to avoid excessive breakage of the drill string components. The
Low Pressure Collaring function also aids the operator during the collaring of the drill hole.
After feed pressure has reached the optimum drilling pressure (preset) the drill percussion
will rise to the drill’s maximum impact pressure setting.
Figure 4 – Drill Impact function
Page 4 of 12
Revision: ORIGINAL
If the Drill Rotation/Water Flushing switch and/or the Drill Impact switch are
left in the ‘ON’ position the electric Powerpack or diesel engine will not start.
(Refer to Remote Pendant maintenance information MB-ELE1293 for pre
operation inspection information.)
Feed Switch – This is a momentary toggle switch that allows operation of the rockdrill’s
direction on the feed. Pushing the toggle in the upward direction will move the rockdrill in the
forward direction. Pushing the toggle switch in the downward direction will retract the
rockdrill. See figure 5.
The operator regulates drill feed pressure by using the feed regulator in the
control panel on the deck. The drill feed pressure must be setup prior to
using the Remote Drilling pendant.
Figure 5 – Drill Feed function
Hydraulic Centralizer Switch – This is a momentary toggle switch used for opening and
closing of the hydraulic centralizer. Pushing the toggle switch in the upward direction will
open the hydraulic centralizer. Pushing the toggle switch in the downward direction will close
the hydraulic centralizer.
The Long hole drilling application requires the use of a hydraulic centralizer to
provide a guide for the drill steel when collaring the hole and allow the operator to
clamp onto the drill string when adding or removing additional rods. During single
pass drilling, when the drill string approaches the centralizer jaws the hydraulic
centralizer must be opened in order for the coupling to go through and avoid
coming into contact with the centralizer jaws.
Page 5 of 12
Revision: ORIGINAL
When Long hole drilling it is important to be in close proximity to the surface being drilled to
help prevent the drill steel from deviating during the collaring process. If the drill steel
deviates from the desired location the boom may have to be repositioned in order to reduce
the risk of breaking the drill’s striking bar.
Figure 6 – Hydraulic Centralizer function
The Remote Drill pendant and its cable must be inspected at the beginning of
each shift to ensure they are free of damage and that the proper functions are
provided and are working properly. (Refer to Remote Pendant maintenance
information MB ELE-1293 for pre-operational inspection information.
2 - REMOTE DRILL DUMMY PLUG
To help prevent inadvertent damage to the Remote Drill pendant and as a good operating
practice the pendant should be unplugged from the main electrical panel when not being
used and a Remote Dummy plug installed in its place. The Remote Dummy plug must be
connected to the main electrical panel whenever the Remote Drill pendant is not connected.
The electric Powerpac and the diesel engine will not run if the Dummy plug is not installed in
its place.
When the Remote drill pendant is unplugged from the main electrical box, it
should be stored in a safe and dry place to prevent damage.

3 - DRILL FEED SPEED CONTROL
The Drill Feed speed control can regulate the speed of the drill feed for collaring purposes.
The speed should be set at the same speed that the drill will travel during the drilling cycle. If
the speed is set too slow it will cause poor penetration and if it is set too fast it will be harder
to properly collar the hole. The Drill feed speed control is only active while in the Remote
Drilling mode.

6 – INTERLOCKS
Drill Impact, Feed and Rotation locks interlock with the Tilt Interlock System (TIS).
The Drill Impact, Feed and Rotation Locks are located in the deck’s control console. Drill
Impact, Feed and Rotation locks are interlocked with the Tilt Interlock System so that they are
functional only if the boom is tilted out past 55° from the working platform.
If the machine’s ‘TIS’ is compromised, the Drill Impact, Feed and

Rotation Lock interlocks will also be compromised and the result
may be the advancement of the drill steel into the operator’s
compartment when the boom is in the tramming position. Inspection
of the ‘TIS’ and removal of the drill steel during tramming will
prevent drill steel advancement into the operator’s compartment
from occurring.

DAILY PRE-OPERATION MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

The following are procedural descriptions for each daily pre-operation check.
If the vehicle, or any of its sub-systems are found to be
damaged, or non-functional, decommission the vehicle
immediately and inform the appropriate personnel to correct
serious injury, or death.
1. Walk around inspection. Check general condition of bolter.
1. Inspect the bolter’s general condition and remove any debris that may be present.
Check for leaks, loose fastener’s, and condition of all hosing and electrical
1. harnesses. Inspect all protective covers on the boom.
2. Fill diesel fuel and hydraulic oil reservoir to the proper operating levels,
inspect for leaks.
Diesel fuel level is checked by observing the sight gauges located on the side of the
diesel tank (located opposite the driver’s compartment, below the hydraulic oil
reservoir). It is recommended to fill the tank at the beginning of each shift.
Hydraulic oil level is checked by observing the sight gauges located on the side of
the hydraulic oil reservoir (located opposite the driver’s compartment, above the
diesel tank). When looking at the sight gauges, it is recommended that the hydraulic
oil level be between the minimum/maximum level marks.
If the diesel fuel level, or hydraulic oil level is low, fill as required using the
recommended fluids listed in the table of Recommended Lubricants and Fluids. Some
vehicles may be equipped with an electrical hydraulic oil tank pump and switch. See
Figure 3.
Inspect the frame and ground below the diesel fuel tank and any fuel hoses
connecting to the engine. No leaks, or wetness must be present.

BOLTER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

In addition to the daily pre-operation maintenance, a MacLean Bolter requires
maintenance to ensure optimal vehicle performance. For non-MacLean manufactured
systems or components, the maintenance intervals are based on the manufacturers’
recommendations. All maintenance requirements are divided into time intervals and are
based upon the vehicles power pack hour meter. The power pack hours are displayed
on a meter located on the main AC electrical panel. Figure 24 illustrates the typical
location of the power pack hour meter for all Bolters.
Power Pack
Hour Meter
Power Pack
Hour Meter
Figure 24 – Example of Typical Main AC Electrical Panels
Maintenance intervals include 60, 250, 1000, 2000 and 4000 power pack hours, where
60 power pack hours represents a week of operation, 250 hours a month of operation
and 1000 hours four months of operation. These intervals are approximate.
Maintenance periods vary depending on the vehicle’s operating conditions.
Maintenance requirements are cumulative. In other words, carry

out daily operator’s inspections during 60-hour inspections, etc.
See Maintenance Bulletin MB-GEN1060 for further explanation of
maintenance intervals.
