PROPELLING THE MACHINE

CAUTION: Always check blind spots prior to propelling. If you are at


all unsure, get out of the cabin and visually check.

CAUTION: Propelling the machine across rough/ undulating terrain


or across grades should never be carried out with the mast raised.
The mast must be lowered prior to propelling unless over short
distances on a drill pattern.

CAUTION: Ensure that the drill string is fully clear of any drill
hole, that the dust curtain has been raised, the mast is locked
or secure on mast rests, and that leveling jacks are fully raised
prior to propelling.

PROPELLING THE MACHINE

CAUTION: If propelling on an incline or decline the machine should


always be propelled up or down the slope where possible. Traveling
across the grade should be avoided.

WARNING: Always select Drill mode once propelling function is


completed as the Drill mode engages the brakes. Never leave the
machine unattended unless the Drill/Propel switch is in the Drill
mode. Failure to follow these procedures could result in
personal injury or property damage.

RAISING AND LOWERING MAST
DANGER: Look up before raising or lowering the mast. Operating near, or
coming in contact with electrical power lines will result in serious personal injury
or death. Be sure all personnel are clear of the machine.
WARNING: Always level the machine before raising or lowering the mast and
before drilling.
Be sure to visually check to see that mast locking pins are fully engaged in the
holes in the mast lock brackets before drilling. Also be sure that the pins are fully
retracted before lowering the mast.

RAISING AND LOWERING JACKS

When lowering jacks (leveling the


machine):

Level the machine side to side


first and then level the front to
back.

Always use the front jack


control last to ensure weight is
evenly distributed between the
two front jacks.

Reverse the procedure for raising


jacks.

RAISING AND LOWERING MAST
Raising The Mast:

1. Check for personnel in the vicinity or on the machine and establish whether the
mast will be clear of electrical power lines by looking up.

2. Ensure that the machine is jacked level.

3. Check the mast for loose drilling tools or parts.

4. Make sure that the drill bit will clear the work deck area. A visual check of the
Rotary head position.

5. Raise the mast by engaging the Mast Lever to the raise position. The mast
should start to lift; if not, check the auxiliary hydraulic system pressure gauge
to see if any other functions are engaged.

6. As the mast approaches the vertical position, the mast raising speed will tend
to increase, so it will become necessary to slow the speed to stop the mast
8 from hitting into the base of the machine too hard.

RAISING AND LOWERING MAST

Raising The Mast:

CAUTION: The mast must be brought to rest against the base of the
machine as slowly and gently as possible. Severe mechanical damage
to the mast and supporting structure will result if this practice is not
closely adhered to.

The mast angle may be set from 30° to the vertical depending on drilling
applications.

Once the mast has been set at the desired angle, lock the mast into
position by engaging the Mast Lock Switch.

CAUTION: The mast must be stationary prior to attempting to activate


the mast locking pins. Severe mechanical damage to the mast and
supporting structure will occur if the mast is locked while still in motion.

RAISING AND LOWERING MAST

Lowering The Mast:

1. Check that the arc of swing of the mast head is such that it will
not
come in contact with any structure or power lines.

2. Check the security of equipment in the mast, remove all tools


from
the mast and work deck and store all equipment properly. Check to
make sure the deck is clear.

3. Ensure that the drill bit will clear the work deck area.

ensuring that the jaws are open.

5. Swing pipe positioner into mast.

6. Ensure pipe safety arm is locked in.

7. Ensure pipe stored in carousel are not in the ‘load’ position to


prevent pipes moving upwards in carousel.

8. Unlock and lower the mast controlling the lowering speed with
the mast lever, in order that the mast gently comes to rest on
the mast support.
