particles, sulfates and silicates. In addition to severe long term health effects, diesel emissions cause short
term effects such as eye and respiratory irritation.
All mines and construction sites with diesel powered equipment must have documented diesel emission
control plans and monitoring programs to ensure that human exposure is reduced as low as practicable.
Risks must be assessed and control measures implemented according to the hierarchy of controls. All areas
where people may be exposed must be considered; work force and incidental exposure included.
All mines and construction sites with diesel powered equipment must follow and comply with all applicable
legislation and industry requirements relating to controlling and limiting worker exposure to diesel emissions.
Locally applicable information is available from various sources, including but not limited to legislation,
standards, guidelines, rules, safety bulletins, strategies, best practices, instructions and position papers.
The following equipment related control measures must be taken to control diesel emissions and related
exposure:
• Operate and maintain the equipment according to instructions, especially according to the engine
supplier’s instructions.
• Ensure equipment users are trained on how operator behavior affects emissions.
• Monitor the information provided by the control systems as well as the indicator lights. If any warning or
alarm appears, take corrective actions immediately.
• Avoid unnecessary idling of engine. Keep engine revolutions as steady as possible.
• If the equipment has a closed cabin, keep the cabin clean and in good condition. Keep windows closed.
Pay special attention to the air conditioning unit, filtration components and door and window seals;
ensure they are constantly maintained and in intended condition. Make sure that instructions provided
in pre-start inspection and maintenance checklists are followed.

when using Sandvik Mining drilling equipment.
All persons involved in the planning, operation and servicing of Sandvik Mining equipment MUST read and
understand the following safety precautions, the manuals developed for this machine and the Safe Operating
Practices outlined in the front of this manual.
xii
While we believe that we have properly identified several potential hazards that could result in property
damage or personnel injury, there are certain hazards which may be present that we have not contemplated.
Bad weather conditions as they relate to this topic include lightning, thunderstorms and severe rainfall.
Management’s Responsibilities
High winds, rainfall and cloud cover are often precursors to actual cloud to ground strikes notifying
individuals to take action. Many reported lightning accidents occur with sun, clear skies and no rain present
at the beginning as the storm approaches because; people ignore these precursors. Generally the lightning
threat diminishes with time after the last sound of thunder, but may persist for more than 30 minutes.
It is the responsibility of management to:
• Be aware of daily weather conditions within a 161 km (100 mile) radius of the mine property.
• Determine a plan of action relating to expected bad or unexpected weather conditions.
• Notify equipment operators of impending storms. Communication to equipment operators may be given
via two way radio and/or in person.
• Consider that drill operators need ample time to:
- Retrieve drill pipe from blastholes and well bottom.
- Lower masts to a horizontal position or position feed rails into feed supports.
- Give the drill engine an adequate cool down period prior to shutting machine down.
- Leave machine cabin or operator platform and transport to central meeting location.
• Give equipment operators an all clear signal after the storm has cleared the area.
NOTE: Supervisors! Recognize that equipment operators should be given adequate time to prepare the machine
to move to specific locations for safe keeping. Crawler mounted drill machines have a maximum travel
speed not exceeding 4.2 kph (2.6 mph).
Rainfall And Flooding

When notified of an impending storm, machine operators should:
• Move the drill machine to higher ground conditions. Never leave a drill machine at the lowest floor posi-
tion of a mine or quarry or in a low lying ditch that could trap water runoff.
• Move the drill machine to stable ground and away from unstable crests or the face. Never leave a drill
machine on the front face of the drill pattern while rain and severe weather pose a threat of loose ground
falls or washouts.
• When operating machines in a construction application, equipment operators shall move the drill
machine to higher stable ground. Never leave a drill machine in any construction zone roadway, river bed
or drainage ditch.
• Move the drill machine to stable ground away from high walls and any threat where rock or water erosion
may allow unstable ground to fall or slide.
Thunderstorms And Lightning

A publication written in MSHA Holmes Safety Association Bulletin April 2001 gives a simple flash bang
formula to calculate lightning proximity.
The FLASH BANG method is determined by counting the seconds between the visible lightning and the
sound of thunder. This delay in seconds when divided by 5 will give an approximate value in miles as to how
close the active lightning is to your worksite.
Safe Operating Practices for Drillers xiii

Example: when you see lightning and it takes (10) ten seconds to hear the thunder divide by (5) five. The
approximate distance of lightning proximity is 3.2 km (2 miles).
If the flash bang measurement is 30 seconds or less seek shelter immediately and remain indoors, away
from electrical devices, water and metal components.
Supervisors must notify equipment operators in a timely manner. This is to allow the drill operator adequate
time to perform the required operation principals needed and secure the machine in a safe manner.
• Equipment operators shall retrieve drill pipe from blastholes, secure drilling tools and lower mast to a hor-
izontal position into the mast rest supports. Understand that the mast in a vertical position with drill pipe in
the ground is capable of attracting high voltage lightning.
NOTE: If the operator and machine are inside or near a blast area follow procedures written in USA Federal
Metal and Nonmetal Mine Safety Standards 30CFR 56/57/58 manual.
• Equipment operators shall move the machine to secure ground as noted in the rainfall and flooding
description.
• Equipment operators shall give adequate engine cool down period prior to shutting machine down. Ade-
quate engine cool down periods range between 3 to 5 minutes. Follow engine manufacture specifications
as a standard.
• Equipment operators shall secure the machine, close doors and windows, leave the machine cabin and
dismount the machine in a proper 3 point contact with the boarding ladder.
• Equipment operators shall drive or be transported to a central meeting location away from bad weather
and storm conditions.
There are exceptions to the rules when bad weather develops and time does not permit adequate machine
preparation - shutdown principals.
Exceptions
If you do get caught in an electrical storm and have little or no time to prepare, remember that, no place is
absolutely safe from the lightning threat, however, some places are safer than others.
When operators are inside an enclosed stable structure such as a machine cabin or the truck cab it is
recommended that:
• all windows are closed

• all doors closed
• do not touch metal parts
• do not use two way radio communication
NOTE: Wait inside the enclosed cab as long as it takes for the storm or lightning to subside. Do not attempt to
dismount the machine when lightning is in your immediate work area.
• If lightning is present within a 32 km (20 mile) radius of your location be aware of your surroundings when
outdoors. Seek adequate shelter immediately.
• If lightning is present within the 32 km (20 mile) radius, and a decision is made to dismount the machine,
use a standard 3 point contact down the boarding ladder to dismount the machine.
• Move away from the machine quickly and into a enclosed vehicle or adequate shelter. Maintain a dis-
tance greater than 92 m (100 yards) to prevent electrical draw in the event lightning did strike the mining
equipment.
• Static interference on AM radio channels is another indicator as to lightning proximity.
• Lightning detectors are available aftermarket as a measuring instrument to determine lightning proximity.
Blasting crews are aware of lightning hazards and may have a lightning detector on site.
xiv
• If you are caught in the open with lightning nearby and shelter is not available the safest position to be in
is to be crouched down on the balls of your feet. Keep your feet as close to one another as possible.
• Do not allow your hands (or other body parts) to touch the ground. Use your hands to cover your ears and
brace for a loud thunderous bang.
• Lightning struck victims carry no electrical charge and should be given first aid treatment immediately!
Machine Maintenance
If lightning does strike a drill machine parked in any position (mast up or down), expect major component
failures. A total machine inspection is in order.
Electrical charge should dissipate immediately after impact.
Prior to climbing on board a machine known to have been struck by lightning use the back side of either hand
(knuckle side) to lightly touch the boarding ladder.

Tramming Disable Foot Switch

The tramming disable foot switch located on the cab floor, is designed to stop the drill during in an
emergency situation. During tramming the foot switch must remain depressed at all times. If the operator
releases the foot switch, hydraulic pressure supply to the final drives will stop, locking the final drive brakes.
Hydraulic Pressure Release

Hydraulic circuits maintain pressure after the machine is shutdown. If maintenance to a hydraulic component
or hose is to be done, relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system.
xvi
Prior to opening a valve hose fitting or removal of a valve assembly note the following:
• Gloves and PPE are worn.

• Release the hydraulic pressure at the hydraulic tank.
• Do not check for leaks with hands.
• The technician must release the hydraulic hose fittings slowly at first to minimize potential high pressure
hydraulic oil or PSO pressure squirting out through the hose fitting. Oil will drain out the loosened hose fit-
ting.
• With the hose fitting slightly loose, manually rock the hose from side to side.
• Slowly open the hydraulic hose fitting and alternate the hose fitting to release residual hydraulic oil pres-
sure while maintaining a barrier between the hydraulic fitting and technician.
WARNING
FALLING LOAD HAZARD
Breaking a supporting cylinder hydraulic line may allow the supported load
to fall causing personnel injury or death.
When working with cylinders and any apparent loads they may hold, ME-
CHANICALLY SUPPORT AND SECURE the load prior to performing any re-
pair work.
NEVER attempt to work on hydraulic cylinders without adequate safety train-
ing. Refer to bulletin SB243A for more information.
Hydraulic pressures may be trapped in the hydraulic system by design. For example the residual pressure
may be holding a load. A cylinder with attached components such as the rotary head and drill pipe weight,
require some means of residual pressure to hold the oil in check thus holding the load. Removing the
pressure may lead to a falling load and a potential safety condition.
1. Determine if mast is vertical or horizontal.

• If vertical, lock and support the rotary head in position so that it cannot fall.
• If horizontal, lock the rotary head into position so it does not move.
2. Disconnect the pilot line to the valve.
3. Connect a portable hydraulic pump to the pilot line input on the valve.
4. Pump the portable hydraulic pump to achieve sufficient pressure to open the holding valve and discharge
pressure between the holding valve and the cylinder.
5. After pressure has been released, disconnect hose slowly and drain off any residual oil and pressure.
Have a pan beneath the valve to catch spilled oil.
Contact your Sandvik representative for a copy of service bulletin SB243A for more information on releasing
stored hydraulic circuit pressures.

RESULTS
• If you leave the machine running, it may add fuel to the fire or restart the fire with sparks.
• React quickly so the fire is caught before it grows too large.
• By leaving the immediate fire area, you protect yourself from windblown flames, explosions or other dan-
gers created by the fire.
• Heat remaining from the fire could cause re-ignition after the fire suppression system has discharged.
Because of this, it is important that someone stand by, at a safe distance, with a hand portable extin-
guisher. This standby should be maintained until all possibility of re-ignition is past.
• Read the attached documents concerning the fire suppression system specific to your drill. Exposure to
the fire suppression chemical use during a fire may be a hazard to your health.
Ansul Checkfire 210 Detection and Actuation System

This equipment is monitored with a CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation System which is typically
connected to an ANSUl.s A-101 or LVS Fire Suppression System for 24-hour fire suppression. The operator
of the equipment should be provided with hands-on training by Authorized ANSUL Distributors or the end
user.
This section is a quick-reference guide for basic operation of the CHECKFIRE 210 System. Two buttons on
the display module and manual actuators provide operator control.

6. Optional manual actuation: Pull ring pin and strike red button on electric or pneumatic manual actuator.
NOTE: The red “PUSH To Activate I Alarm When Lit” LED and sounder remain steady-on for 10 sec. during
initiation (release) of fire suppression system. Post release: Detection 1 and/or Detection 2, Shutdown,
and Release LEDs and sounder continue to pulse 1 x 10 sec. If safe to re-enter equipment, push
“DELAY/Reset/Silence” button to silence sounder for two hours.
IN CASE OF FIRE: Automatic System Operation

1. Detector(s) registers alarm condition in hazard area and initiates the time delay notification on display
module.
2. “PUSH To Activate I Alarm When Lit” plus Detection 1 and/or Detection 2 LEDs plus sounder:
a. Pulse 2 x 1 sec. until last 5 sec. of TD1.
b. Then pulse 4 x 1 sec. with Shutdown LED at start of final 5 sec. (See DELAY/RESET/SILENCE
(gray) button below for TD1 restart).
c. Only Shutdown LED is steady-on for 1 sec. indicating TD1 transferring to TD2 {restart no longer
available).
d. Pulse 4 x 1 sec. with Shutdown LED during TD2.
e. Steady-on 1 O sec. with Shutdown LED during initiation (release) of fire suppression system (if
included, pressure switch activates auxiliary operation).
3. As soon as time delay begins: Safely stop equipment, set brake, shut off engine, and exit. Standby with
supplemental firefighting equipment.
4. Post release: LEDs and sounder pulse 1 x 10 sec.
DELAY/RESET/SILENCE (Gray) Button

1. Restart Time Delay: Press and release for each restart of TD1 during alarm condition. (Limit: 2 restarts or
Unlimited.)
2. Must be initiated before last second of TD1. (No response after TD1 until post release.)
NOTE: Press and hold will not extend time delay period.
3. Silence sounder (post discharge or fault notification) for two hours: Press and release to silence sounder;
LED fault indication will continue until fault is cleared. Any new fault or detection event will reactivate
sounder.
FRONT PANEL INDICATORS

1. Power LED
• Green steady-on indicates normal external power.
• Green pulsing 1 x 3 sec. indicates normal Internal power.
• Amber pulsing 1 x 3 sec. indicates external power fault; system is operating on internal power.

function properly.
Immediately contact an Authorized ANSUL Distributor for service.
Maintenance Information
Before carrying out any maintenance on this product, read and understand the information given in the
Maintenance Manual. Make sure that you have the skills and authority needed before starting any
maintenance work. The Maintenance Manual supports maintenance personnel in respect of preventive
maintenance for this product. Section 4 provides instructions for periodic Mechanical Inspections to the
maintenance and operating personnel for components and equipment installed.
Ensure all necessary electrical, hydraulic and air isolations (see ‘Isolation and Energy Dissipation’) have
been carried out prior to starting any maintenance work. Also ensure that necessary original spare parts or
materials are available, or can be ordered and supplied in time to meet the work schedule. Note all
completed maintenance activities in a maintenance log or maintenance program.
The operator of this machine is also required to perform a series of maintenance tasks before beginning his
shift. Section 5 of the Operator’s Manual contains the Operator Maintenance Check List and description of
how maintenance tasks requiring a low level of technical skill should be carried out.

Environment
Sandvik actively considers environmental concerns when designing and manufacturing its products. Our
equipment is designed to burden the environment as little as possible; examples; the vibration, noise,
exhaust, and lubrication/additive emissions of the machine have been minimized. The manufacturing
process for our equipment has been designed so that recycled materials are used as much as possible, and
the process quality and emissions are considered carefully in selection of the subcontractors. There is an
ongoing aim of continually lowering the emissions from the machining of metal, and from painting and
assembling this equipment.
These instructions that follow are not binding, but they offer suggestions for appropriate waste disposal
procedures. Local authorities always have more detailed instructions and recommendations on the disposal
of different materials.
Safe Operating Practices for Drillers xxi

If a known pollutant is accidentally released into the environment, the local authorities must be notified
immediately.
Destruction
The end user of the equipment is responsible for its decommissioning. If the end user does not have the
ability or the resources to disassemble the equipment, the work must be performed by someone who does
possess the necessary knowledge and skills.
Recycling
The equipment body, all the steel constructions, and the copper and aluminum in the electrical wiring are
recyclable. The metals can be melted and used as raw material for new products, except for parts that have
been in contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The contaminated parts can usually
be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which they can be recycled.
Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each plastic part carries information on the material
used and a manufacturing date, which can be used for determining whether the part can be recycled.
Disposal
Follow all local laws and regulations when disposing of used machine components.
• Rubber parts are not regarded as hazardous, and they can be disposed of according to normal proce-
dures. Tubes (hydraulics etc.) must be cleaned before they are disposed of.
• Liquids such as fuel and oils should never be drained without suitable catch bins and containers.
• Windshields and other cabin windows are not accepted for conventional glass recycling, but they can be
disposed of via normal waste disposal methods.
• Electrical components that are classified as hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards)
and other hazardous waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment location or be disposed of
according to local regulations.
• Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and HCFC compounds, must always be delivered for treatment
to a licensed waste disposal facility.

WINCH
The winch is used to lift accessories on and off of the work deck. Before any lifting operations begin,
rope off the lifting area to ensure that everyone is aware of the lifting about to take place.
! DANGER
FIRE HAZARD!
Retracting the rotary head to the top of the mast when winch tooling or a weighted device is stowed
at the top of the mast, may cause damage to hydraulic hoses allowing oil to spill on to hot surfaces
below, resulting in fire.
Never stow winch tooling at the top of the mast while the machine is in operation. This includes, but
is not limited to, any retrieval device or any item used to add weight to the winch wire rope line.
Stow and secure the winch tooling in an alternate location.

TOWING
Towing Guideline and Procedures

These towing instructions are for moving a machine for a short distance at low speed. Move the machine at a
speed of 1.6 km/hr (1.0 mph) or less to a c ne continuous hour while the final drive is disengaged. Always
haul or tram the machine if long distance travel is required.
WARNING
Block the machine to prevent movement before final drives are re-engaged. The
machine may roll freely if it is not blocked. With final drives disengaged, the
machine cannot be stopped or steered.
WARNING
Personal injury or death could result when towing a machine incorrectly.
Do not allow anyone to be on or near a machine that is being towed or connected to
a towing machine. Injury or death may result when towing a machine incorrectly.
WARNING
Both final drives must be disengaged before towing the machine. Do not operate
drive motors with final drives disengaged. Damage could result.
This drill is equipped with hydraulic track drive motors with automatic spring set brakes. If the machine
cannot be started, or hydraulic components are defective preventing the system to be pressurized, the
machine can be towed by removing the disengagement mechanism from the final drive as discussed below
in this section.
Do not use a chain for towing a machine. A chain link can break and cause personal injury. Use a tow bar or
cable with ends that have loops or rings. Put an observer at a safe distance in a position to watch the towing
procedure. The observer can stop the procedure if the tow bar or cable starts to break. Stop pulling whenever
the towing machine moves without moving the drill unit.
WARNING
A tow bar is recommended for moving this equipment. The strength of the tow bar or
tow cable should be at least 150% of the gross weight of the towing machine.
Shields must be provided on both the drill unit and towing machine to protect the towing machine operator if
the tow bar or cable breaks. Attach the tow bar or cable to the towing eye on the front of the machine if you
are towing the machine forward. Attach the tow bar or cable to the drawbar pin on the rear of the machine if
you are towing the machine backward.
Keep the tow bar angle to a minimum. Do not exceed a 30° angle from the straight ahead position.

Before you tow the machine, make sure that the tow bar or cable is in good condition. Make sure that the tow
bar or cable has enough strength for the towing procedure involved. This requirement is for towing a machine
that is stuck in the mud and for towing on a grade.
Quick machine movement could overload the tow bar and could cause the tow bar to break. Gradual, steady
machine movement will be more safe and effective.
The towing machine should be as large as the machine being towed. Make sure that the towing machine has
enough brake capacity, enough weight, and enough power. The towing machine must be able to control both
machines for the grade, surface condition and distance that is involved. Minimal towing machine capacity is
required on smooth, level surfaces, maximum towing machine capacity is required on inclines or on rough,
uneven surfaces in poor condition.
You must provide sufficient control and sufficient braking when you are towing a machine downhill. This may
require a larger towing machine or additional machines connected to the rear of the drill unit to prevent the
drill unit from rolling downhill out of control.
Some towing situation requirements may not be addressed in this document; consult your Sandvik dealer if
questions arise.
Parking Brake Disengagement

Undercarriages with final drives parking brake engaged cannot be moved if the hydraulic system is not
operational. For this reason, a disengagement mechanism is installed so the undercarriage can be towed if
the motor is inoperable.
WARNING
The engine must be stopped with the machine on level ground before releasing the
parking brakes. Releasing the parking brake may cause the machine to move
unexpectedly.
Block the machine to prevent movement before final drives are disengaged. The
machine may roll freely if it is not blocked. With final drives disengaged, the machine
cannot be stopped or steered.
The disengagement plug is located on the final drive assembly cover, opposite the motor. The sun gear
release device is under the disengagement plug, on the inside of the final drive and is held in place by a
disengagement plug (cap and bolts on some models). Make sure that you put the sun gear release device
back to its original position before attempting to return the machine to normal operation (see below).
Page 2-44
UNSCREW REMOVE THE SUN
PLUG GEAR FROM THE
REDUCTION GEARS
WARNING
Risk of scalding and burns due to the high temperature of the final drive oil. Final
drive may be boiling hot after long periods of operation. Even after the machine has
been turned off, the hydraulic oil can still be hot enough to burn.
Always wear protective gloves and allow the hydraulic oil to cool before draining.
Removing the disengagement plug from the final drive without first relieving the
internal pressure will cause hydraulic oil to squirt out.
Procedure for Sun Gear Removal

1. Position the machine on a level surface. Turn the engine off and lock out the power.
2. Block the machine to prevent movement.
3. Relieve the hydraulic tank and line pressure before any disassembly. Operate the tram levers back
and forth with the engine stopped to relieve hydraulic system pressure.
4. Remove the disengagement plug. Allow the oil to drain into a suitable container for proper disposal
as per local regulations.
5. Screw a bolt in the hole in the center of the sun gear. Remove the sun gear by pulling on the
inserted bolt.
6. Leave the bolt in the sun gear until it is re-installed. Place the sun gear in the cab.
7. Re-install the disengagement plug to avoid contamination in the system while towing.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 on the other final drive.
9. The final drives are now ready for towing. Follow all the Towing Guidelines and Precautions listed
above.

DRILL MONITOR SYSTEM (DMS)

The Drill Monitor System provides warning signals to the operator or automatically shuts down the
machine (for critical out-of-limit conditions) in the event that the monitored conditions are not within
safe limits. The system is provided with a thirty second delay for start up, a system test push button,
audible alarm, and a "first out" indication for shut downs.
There are three different levels of fault sensing:
Level 1. Flashing amber light.
Level 2. Flashing amber light and audible alarm.
Level 3. Flashing red light, audible alarm, and machine shutdown.
The audible alarm can be silenced at any time by means of a silence push button. The light will
continue to flash until the fault condition is cleared. Only one level three fault will be indicated at any
one time (first out). This will allow the cause of the shutdown to be easily determined. Level three
faults can be converted to alarm only, if desired, by an external wiring change.

SYSTEM OPERATION
In the event of a machine shutdown, after the
problem is rectified, it is necessary to turn off
the key switch at the start panel momentarily to

delay to start the engine.
The system operation should be checked once

per shift by turning on the key switch and wait-
ing 30 seconds to verify that a shutdown fault is
indicated and that the fuel system is de-ener-
