IMPORTANT
Before filling in the following module, make sure you have read and clearly understood what has been
indicated previously.
Most accidents which occur during the normal operation and maintenance of construction machinery or
equipment are caused by not complying with the basic safety rules or by ignoring the existence and relative
degree of a hazard. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs.
The personnel charged with operation and maintenance of the machinery or equipment must be thinking what
hazards there might be and how to avoid them and they shall also have the necessary training, skills and tools
to perform their functions properly.
Operating, lubricating, maintaining or repairing the machine in an improper way may be highly dangerous
and could result in serious injury or death.
Do not operate the machine and do not perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair work before
having read and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information.
The basic safety precautions and warnings are provided in section B ‘Safety’ in this manual. Additional safety
precautions which may be necessary to avoid certain hazardous situations or conditions will be pointed out from
time to time in the course of the following pages.
In this manual, the SAFETY NOTICES start with three different signal words. They are:
DANGER
This signal word indicates an imminently hazardous situation. If proper precautions are not taken, you
or others will be seriously injured (or killed).
WARNING
This signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation. If proper precautions are not taken you or
others could be seriously injured. Improper precautions may also result in damage to the machine and
reduce the safety standards established during the designing phase.
IMPORTANT
This signal word indicates important technical and/or technological information. The observance of such
information will let you operate the machine in a more efficient way.
This signal word is also used to draw you attention to those operations for which SOILMEC After-
Sales Service must be contacted -i.e. for ordering ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS or aksing for TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE.
In the manual, the message following the signal words may be either written or illustrated.
Other information on how to identify hazards which, if not avoided, will or could result in serious injury or death
is contained on safety decals or plates applied on your machine.
SOILMEC has no direct control over the machine application, operation or maintenance. Therefore, the safety
instructions contained in this manual and on the safety decals applied on the machine cannot include every
possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
If you decide to operate or maintain your machine using a procedure, work method or operating technique
other than those expressly recommended by SOILMEC, you must be sure that it is safe for you and for others.
You must also ensure that your machine will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication,
maintenance or repair procedure that you choose to follow.
UM122092/E - Rev.1 01/2010 SR-60 10/282
Although the machine is equipped with a service winch, IT SHALL NEVER BE CONSIDERED A CRANE. The
service winch provided on your drilling rig must only be used for operations pertaining to the work
cycle of the machine such as lifting of machine parts to be assembled, and/or of drilling equipment or
components. Using the service winch for lifting goods or people is expressly forbidden.
Ground Conditions: Is the ground surface stable? Soft or unstable ground, working
surfaces or platforms may become depressed and may cause a
tipping effect to the machine. This may offset the centre of gravity
unexpectedly. Use extreme caution, therefore, when the machine
is on unstable ground, surfaces or platforms.
Picking geometry: Additional caution must be used when a load is not being hoisted
vertically. Loads should be hoisted slowly and evenly to prevent
sudden instability. Be alert for swinging loads that may create
unexpected instability due to shifting momentum.
Personnel: All riggers and operators must understand proper setting, capacity
and use of picking equipment. Riggers and operators must be
familiar and knowledgeable with the equipment being used.

Year of manufacture
Arc welding on a machine equipped with electrical and/or electronic controls, instruments and indicators is
NEVER recommended.
If you must weld on the machine, proper welding procedures are necessary to avoid irreversible damage to
electrical and electronic components, as well as to the machine hydraulic components and bearings:
3 - Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the component to be welded or at max. 50 cm from such
component.
5 - Make sure that the electrical path from the ground cable to the component does not go through any
bearing.
6 - Do not use electrical and/or electronic components as grounding points for the welder.
7 - Do not weld on the diesel engine and/or parts of the diesel engine.
8 - Protect any wiring harnesses, electrical and electronic components and other parts from splatters or debris
created from welding to avoid damage.

• Always examine the route and check for possible
hazardous conditions.
• Avoid crossing or travelling on obstacles like uneven

railtracks. If this is unavoidable:
- Move sideways and with extreme caution and
reduce the travel speed.
- Slowly reach the balance point, check the machine
is stable and start moving down. Pay attention to
sudden jumps of the machine when its centre of
gravity reaches the point of balance.
• Pay attention to possible grip variations. You could
lose the control of the machine.
• Be sure you know the load bearing limits of bridges
and the clearance limits of tunnels.
• Don’t exceed these limits. Be sure you know the
height, width, length and weight of the machine.
Before moving in a confined area, look for a signalman,
make your intentions known and wait for his signals.
• Uneven and irregular grounds can cause rolling
and pitching and possible collisions of the mast with
electrical power lines or other hindrances.
• Keep into account the overall dimensions of mast
when turning.
• Move cautiously on frozen or icy grounds, on degraded
grounds or close to landslides.
• Do not travel inside a jobsite, a crowded area or close
to persons if nobody can give you signals. Make your
intentions known by operating the horn: twice when
moving forward and thrice when moving in reverse.
• Be sure to know the dimensions of the machine in all
its configurations in order to keep at a safe distance
from hindrances at any time.
• Always leave a sufficient space to allow for the
rotation of the rear part of the turret. If necessary,
place barriers around the machine to keep people
clear of it.
• Look for the best route to the working area.
• Never travel at a high speed on steep slopes. Choose
the most suitable speed to the slope. Do not coast

• For a better control and a higher braking power when
moving a disabled machine downhill, a larger towing
vehicle should be coupled to the front of the disabled
machine and other towing vehicles should be coupled
to the back to avoid uncontrollable situations.
• Lock the machine to prevent accidental motions
before disengaging the final drives. When the final
drives are disengaged, brakes are released and the
machine can move freely.
• Fit special shields to both machines to protect the
operator in the event the rope or the drawbar breaks.
• Use a tow rope or drawbar with a resistance at least
1.5 times greater than the gross weight of the towing
vehicle.
• Prior to towing the machine ensure that the tow rope
or drawbar is in good conditions and its pulling power
can withstand the effort it will be subject to.
• Connect the drawbar to the front tow point if you shall
manoeuvre forward, or to the rear point if you shall
manoeuvre in reverse.
• Ensure the tow rope or drawbar is properly attached
and the tow point is strong enough for the load to be
towed.
• Do not use chains to tow the machine. Chain links
could break and cause serious accidents. Use a wire
rope with eyelets or a rigid bar.
• Have a second operator monitoring visually the
manoeuvre without being endangered thereby and
able to stop the towing operations if the rope starts
breaking or fraying.

ROPES
DANGER
Working with worn and/or damaged ropes may be
highly dangerous. Immediately replace any worn
and/or damaged ropes. SOILMEC Spa accepts no
liability for damage to persons and/or things arising
from the non-compliance with this precaution.
Wear
A severe wear of the rope wires anticipates a break and,
after a certain limit, the worn wire must be regarded as
broken.This limit can be considered as reached when
the wire diameter, after visual inspection, is the half of
the genuine diameter.In this case, the advanced state
of wear of the wires requires more frequent periodical
inspections of the rope.
Corrosion
Like wear, also corrosion leads to breaks, but with equal
reduction of the diameter, corrosion must be considered
a more severe deterioration than wear. A more careful
application of the rule in the previous paragraph is
required. The internal corrosion of the rope may be
detected because of the reduction of the total diameter
of the rope itself.It is advisable to check the internal part
of the rope periodically to find any possible deterioration
due to corrosion.

DRUM
C
B B
WARNING
When a wire rope is wound onto the drum, it should
bend in the manner in which it was originally wound
on reel (B). This will avoid causing a reverse bend in
the rope.
Always wind the wire rope from the top of reel (B)
onto the top of drum (T) or from the bottom of reel
(B) to the bottom of the winch drum (T).
Never allow a rope to cross (as shown). The rope
would twist and its strength would be limited.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Flexible hoses
B
A flexible hose must never be twisted.
When assembling remember that the hose will be
subject to changes in its length when under load with the
consequent torsional stress.
Therefore don’t install hoses A so they are too short,
and check the hose remains in the right position with the
machine at rest
C
If flexible hoses B-C have to follow a curve, make sure
the radius of curvature is correct. A too sharp radius of
curvature could cause the hose to close up inside, and
therefore lead to a loss of pressure.
Furthermore, bends in hoses can cause torsional stress
and the hoses may break. Choose the right free length of
the hose that goes between the connections.
