Engine Starting With Jumper Cables

Batteries give off ammable fumes that can explode. DO NOT smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels. Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury. Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode. DO NOT allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine. ALWAYS wear protective glasses when working with batteries. Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.
Jump Starting Instructions

1. 2. 3. 4. Turn start switch OFF and turn off all electrical accessories. Turn battery disconnect switch ON (g. 4-2). Always use the same voltage system for jump starting, in this case, 24V negative ground. Connect one end of the cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery being started (g. 4-3). Connect the other end to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the power source. Connect one end of the cable to the NEGATIVE () terminal of the power source. Connect the other end to the engine block or chassis ground. This prevents sparks from igniting combustible gases produced by some batteries. After starting engine, disconnect NEGATIVE () cable from engine block or chassis ground. Disconnect other end from the NEGATIVE () terminal of the power source. Disconnect the cable from the POSITIVE (+) terminal on the battery of the engine being started. Disconnect the other end from the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the power source.

Start-up Procedure
DO NOT use ether on engines equipped with an air intake heater. DO NOT put ether into compressor intake.
After completing the pre-start checklist, use the following procedure to start the machine: (ref. g. 4-4) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn battery disconnect (g. 4-2) located behind battery box to ON position. Be sure all controls are in the OFF or NEUTRAL position. Be sure the Tram/Drill Switch (14) is in the NEUTRAL (center) position. Be sure Control System Switch (8) is in the OFF position. Turn Ignition Switch (20) to START position. When engine starts, release switch to ON position.
NOTE
If engine fails to start within 30 seconds, release start switch. Wait for two minutes to allow starter to cool, and then turn start switch again.
DO NOT begin drilling until hydraulic oil has been warmed up, especially when ambient temperature is below 32oF (0oC). When hydraulic oil tank temperature gauge (g. 4-5) reaches 60oF (15.6oC), oil is warm enough to begin drilling. 6. 7. 8. Let machine warm up for a few minutes and then switch Control System Switch (8) to ON position. Check pump pressure gauges (g. 4-6) . Normal pressure when pumps are loaded is 3200 PSI (241 bar). If not, check hydraulic system. Observe engine RPM displayLow idle is 1000 RPM, System Load (Intermediate) is 1500 RPM, and High idle is 1800 RPM.
Cold Start Procedure

The Caterpillar C9 engine is equipped with an air intake heater. DO NOT use ether to try to start this engine. The Cold Start Lamp (19) comes on when the air intake heater is on. After the engine has started, the air inlet heater may continue to operate in the "continuous" or "intermittent" mode. The air inlet heater will turn OFF when the sum of the coolant and air inlet temperatures exceed 127oF (35oC). Allow engine to idle for about 3 minutes or until you see the water temperature reading begin to rise. Check all readings during warm-up period.
Hydraulic Oil Warming

In cold temperatures, switch the Warm Oil Switch (4) to ON. Usually during engine warm up (15 to 30 minutes), this will allow enough time for the hydraulic oil to warm up. Turn off the switch before operation of the track drill. When hydraulic oil tank temperature gauge (g. 4-5) reaches 60oF (15.6oC), oil is warm enough to begin drilling.

Tramming
DO NOT allow feed to come in contact with or come near high voltage lines. See minimum clearances from high voltage lines chart in Safety Section.
DO NOT tram machine on steep inclines, or horizontal to grades; this greatly increases risk of machine rollover. DO NOT tram machine on soft or unstable ground, or close to unsupported excavations. When tramming on slopes with cab machines equipped with ve or six rod changer, the Oscillation Control Switch MUST BE in the LOCK position.
Retract the telescopic boom when tramming over rough ground and during long moves. Place feed in horizontal position with top of feed resting on mast rest (if equipped).

Fig. 5-4 Vertical Indicator Mounted in Cab
Fig. 5-5 Feed Assembly 1. Pendulum 2. Stinger
To Position Feed for Vertical Drilling 1. There are two options available: A. The vertical indicator (g. 5-4)Follow the instructions for setting the feed plumb. B. Pendulum (g. 5-5) Position feed plumb by watching the pendulum. When pendulum is centered in the ring, feed is plumb. 2. When feed is plumb, plant the stinger rmly into ground using the Drill joystick. This will prevent the feed from "kicking out" when collaring the hole.
Vertical Indicator The angular display is connected to the sensor mounted on the feed. There are 10 display lights in each axis (Y+, Y, X+ and X). The maximum angle from plumb is + or 6 degrees, thus each light represents 0.6 degrees. The lights remain lit if the feed is more than 6 degrees from plumb. The lights will go out successively as the feed approaches plumb in each direction. Vertical Adjustment 1. 2. Position feed vertical (plumb) and adjust the sensor to indicate plumb (no lights on). Move feed to non-vertical position, then move back until all lights go out (plumb). Feed should be plumb within + or - 0.6 degrees.

Drill Positioning Procedure

To Position Feed for Angle Drilling 1. There are two options available: A. The use of an electronic angle indicator is recommended if much angle drilling is to be done. B. If only a few angle holes are required, you can measure the feed angle with magnetic base adjustable protractor. 2. When feed is set at desired angle, plant the stinger rmly into ground using the Drill joystick. This will prevent the feed from "kicking out" when collaring the hole.
Final Checks When machine is in position and feed is set at the desired angle for drilling you are ready to begin drilling the rst hole. Refer to drilling procedures in this section. Check to be sure that: Track Oscillation Cylinders are Locked. Drill/Tram Selector Switch is in DRILL position. System display readings are in normal operating range. Drill steel is loaded and secured in rod rack. Adequate supply of sharp drill bits. Adequate supply of coupling grease is on hand for greasing drill steel, shank and coupling threads. Grease gun and grease (PG55, P/N 312810 recommended) on hand to grease drill front end every two hours of drill operation. Drill accumulator charge pressure has been checked.

Drilling Practices
Tips for top drilling performance
Collaring The collar of the drill hole will directly determine the quality of the hole. Hole Deviation The major cause of drill steel breakage is deviation of the drill hole. There is very little tolerance in the drill string for any deviation, due to the high energy output of the rock drill. Feed Pressure "Under-feeding" is a particularly common and bad practice. Feed pressure must be kept to the bit at all times while drilling. "Free-hammering" (hammering with no load on the bit) and "under-feeding" will shorten the drill string life and the hammer seals. Drill Pressures Feed and hammer pressures and rotation ow can and should be adjusted to suit different rock conditions. Optimum settings are reached when the maximum penetration rate is achieved with minimal heat and vibration being generated through the drill string. Incorrect drill pressure settings can be directly related to hole deviation and drill string damage and breakage. Adjusting Drill Pressure and Monitoring the Machine The operator should attempt to maintain a minimum amount of feed pressure, just enough to keep the drill steel couplings tight. This will ensure smooth drilling and maximize penetration rate by: Minimizing heat in the drill string Eliminating "under and over feeding" Minimizing rotation pressure Rotation ow should be increased in softer rock and decreased in harder rock as indicated by the penetration rate. Monitoring of the machine is critical at all times. Monitoring of the machine gauges is especially critical for those unfamiliar with the drill. Increases in air and /or rotation pressures indicate developing blockage and / or jamming situations. Plugged Bit and Stuck Drill Steel Always be alert of air and cuttings coming out of the hole, if not STOP DRILLING. If bit becomes plugged. When blowing air is stopped by a plugged bit, the drill string can become stuck quickly. Work the bit up and down the hole with hammer and rotation on until air and cuttings can be seen coming out of the hole. If bit remains plugged, raise bit out of hole and place bit against solid rock or hard wood and turn hammer on in short bursts with air on to dislodge obstruction. If bit still remains plugged, shut down machine and relieve all air pressure before removing bit. Clear bit manually and reinstall. If drill steel becomes stuck, use the reverse percussion option (if equipped) to "hammer out" of the hole. If machine is not equipped with this option, use the feed override lever to apply extra reverse feed pressure. Work the drill string up and down using slow rotation speed with blowing air on until it is free. Using the "smart drill" option (if equipped) will help prevent stuck steel due to bad ground. Refer to "smart drill" system operation in this section.
5-12
Drilling Procedures
Drilling Practices
System Readings for Clay or Soft Ground. Clay or soft ground may need lower feed pressure. To maintain the correct differential pressure between feed and hammer pressure, and to avoid shortened hammer seal and consumable life, the hammer pressure needs to lowered accordingly.
System Readings for Solid Rock. To maximize penetration rate in solid rock, higher hammer pressure is required. To maintain the correct differential between hammer and feed pressures, and to prevent "under-feeding", the feed pressure needs to be raised accordingly.

WORN THREADS on the drill string can cause premature wear and breakage to new parts mated with the drill string. USE sharp bits. Check for broken or loose carbides. Dull bits can cause stress in drill components. APPLY adequate lubricant to all couplings and drill rod threads before loading. CHECK rock conditions before operating drill rotation and feed at full throttle. Over feeding and over rotation can cause breakage of drill rotation parts and drill string. Place WARM OIL switch (4) in ON position before starting to drill. Drill will not operate when oil is cold. Leave control in WARM OIL position for a few minutes until oil reaches a minimum of 60oF (15.5oC).
Collaring the Hole

It is not normally possible to immediately start drilling a new hole at full rotation and feed pressure. At full power the bit will tend to jump around enlarging the hole and possibly changing the sting location and angle. Collaring allows accurate drilling by eliminating bit jumping. Initial drilling is performed at low rotation and feed pressure until the hole is deep enough so that the bit is guided by the hole. Hole depth should be about 3 in. (76.2 mm) deep in solid rock. 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn dust collector switch (11, g. 5-3) to ON position or turn water switch (15, g. 5-3) ON and adjust metering valve (behind seat) to regulate water ow if using detergent system. Slowly start forward drill rotation by placing Drill joystick in LEFT position about 1/2 way. Slowly engage feed DOWN with Drill joystick (back) to lower drill. Stop when bit contacts ground. Position air switch so blowing air is about 1/2 way open. Push collar button (3) on Drill joystick after oil has warmed up. Apply some feed pressure, using Drill joystick (back) to collar the hole. Stay in "collaring" mode until the hole is about 3 in. (76.2 mm) deep in solid rock.

1. 2. 3. Once hole is collared, move air switch to fully OPEN position. Move Drill joystick to full LEFT position and push full hammer button (1). Maintain proper feed pressure. If rod starts to bow, you are using too much feed pressure. If drill starts to bounce, or excessive heating in coupling is evident, you are not using enough. Use feed force knob (10, g. 5-3)) to adjust feed pressure. ALWAYS shutdown machine and let air pressure bleed off before removing a plugged bit. NEVER hammer on drill bit or rod. Fragmentation may occur, causing serious injury. If air and cuttings stop coming out of the hole, the bit is becoming plugged and must be pulled back immediately. When the blowing air is stopped by a plugged bit, the bit and drill rod can become stuck very quickly. Work the bit up and down with the drill and rotation ON until cuttings can be seen coming from the hole. If the bit cannot be cleared, the drill rod and bit must be pulled out of the hole. Try placing bit on solid rock or hard wood and push full hammer button (1) on Drill joystick to clear bit. If bit remains plugged, you will have to shutdown the machine and let the air pressure bleed off and then remove bit and manually unclog bit and or drill rod. If the downward movement of the drill rod increases suddenly, this may mean that the bit has drilled into a void, crack or some soft material. Use Drill joystick to slow down the forward travel of the bit. If the rotation begins to slow down or stops, the bit must be pulled back immediately. Reduce the feed speed to drill through broken ground. If bit keeps getting plugged or the rotation continues to jam, pull out the drill rod and start another hole a safe distance away.
NOTE
Never continue drilling if cuttings stop coming from the hole. Always pull back the bit. Do not restart drilling again until air is coming from the hole. Shut off dust collector if water is coming out of the hole. This will plug the dust collector lters. Turn dust collector on after water stops coming out of the hole. It may be necessary to remove the dust collector hose from the pickup pot to avoid clogging the hose with mud. Connect the hose when dry drilling resumes.
4. 5.
As drill rod coupling approaches centralizer, open centralizer to allow the coupling to pass through. When drilling cycle is complete, turn off feed, hammer, rotation and air. If required, add another piece of drill rod (described in detail, following) and continue drilling or raise drill up until bit clears the hole and move to next hole.

Smart Drill Feature

General Description
The "Smart Drill" feature allows for assisted drill control. The system senses rotation and air pressure changes and automatically adjusts feed force and hammer power output. It operates as an anti-jam system and greatly reduces the possibility of stuck drill rod. If the bit becomes plugged, the air pressure rises and shuts off the hammer and reverses the direction of the feed. If the drill rotation slows, rotation pressure rises which sends a signal to the feed. The feed force is then adjusted accordingly until normal drill rotation resumes. This system greatly enhances drilling efciency and reduces operator error. The driller can override the "Smart Drill" system by turning off the smart drill switch (17, g. 5-3) and manually adjusting the feed force with the Drill joystick.
Operation
Begin drilling the same as you would for manual drilling as described previously. 1. 2. 3. Once hole is collared, move air switch to fully OPEN position. Move Drill joystick to full LEFT position. Turn smart drill switch (17, g. 5-3) ON. ALWAYS shut down machine and let air pressure bleed off before removing a plugged bit. NEVER hammer on drill bit or rod. Fragmentation may occur, causing serious injury. If bit keeps getting plugged or the rotation continues to jam, pull out the drill rod and start another hole a safe distance away.
NOTE
Never continue drilling if cuttings stop coming from the hole. Always pull back the bit. Do not restart drilling again until air is coming from the hole. Shut off dust collector if water is coming out of the hole. This will plug the dust collector lters. Turn dust collector on after water stops coming out of the hole.
4. 5.
As drill rod coupling approaches centralizer, the centralizer must be opened to allow the coupling to pass through. When the drilling cycle is completed, turn off feed, hammer, rotation and air. If required, add another piece of drill rod (described in detail, following) and continue drilling or raise drill up until bit clears the hole and move to next hole.

Adding Drill Rod
After the rst length of drill rod has been drilled to depth (coupling and shank even with top of centralizer jaws): 1. With full blowing air ON, raise the bit just above the bottom of the hole. Be sure bit is not plugged or jammed with loose material above it. It is a good idea to run the bit up and down the hole a few times with full blowing air on and forward rotation on. This will clear the hole of loose cuttings to prevent stuck drill rod.
NOTE
2. 3. 4.
Move Drill joystick to NEUTRAL position and place air switch to OFF position. Press full hammer button (1) to turn OFF. Turn hammer on and off in short bursts until drill string is loose. Use some reverse (clockwise) drill rotation if necessary. Loosening of the drill rod can be noted by a change in sound (hammer frequency) of the drill string. Use the centralizer switch to close centralizer around the drill rod coupling. Use the synchronized threading button (4) on the Drill joystick to unthread rod. When drill shank is in line with automatic thread grease nozzle (g. 5-6), push coupling grease button (2) to grease drill shank thread. Raise drill towards top of feed, so drill shank is above upper rod rack.

HPR45 & HPR51 Drill Shank Replacement

DO NOT attempt lubrication or service while the machine is running. BE SURE the hydraulic and pneumatic systems are not pressurized before loosening any connections or parts. Two people are required to change the drill shank when the drill is mounted on the feed. KEEP AWAY from moving or rotating parts. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving or rotating parts. 1. Lower the boom and feed while keeping the feed as horizontal as possible. Remove the drill steel by unthreading the coupling from the drill shank and then sliding the free steel down the feed channel onto the ground. Position the drill on the feed at a height above the ground that will allow working on the drill's front end comfortably (without excessive bending or reaching). Unload the hydraulic pump (make sure the hydraulic system gauge goes to zero). Turn off the engine and bleed any remaining air by opening the drill air valve at the drill console or in cab. Remove the air/water hose from the water swivel housing. Remove the four bolts and lock nuts that retain the water swivel to the chuck end using 1-7/16 and 1-1/2 in. wrenches. Slide off the water swivel housing and thrust plate. Remove the shank. Inspect drill front end parts for wear. See drill service manual for detailed instructions and wear tolerances. Pay particular attention to chuck splines, thrust plate, thrust washer, shank bushing and front end bushing. Shank mis-alignment can cause rapid wear of hammer face. Apply grease (PG55, P/N 312810 recommended) to rear diameter of shank and shank splines. Before installing a new shank, remove the rust prevention coating on the bearing and seal surfaces, using steel wool or ne sandpaper. If this is not done, the coating will build up on the seals, causing them to heat up an wear out rapidly.

Hydraulic Oils for Percussion Drills

In general, oils recommended or approved by hydraulic pump manufacturers are suitable for operating hydraulic percussion drills. Optimum viscosity in a temperature stabilized system is 150 to 300 SUS (extended range is 500 SUS) for continuous operation. The following oils meet the requirements: ISO EQUIVALENT ISO 150/220 ISO 100 ISO 46 OIL TYPE Mobil DTE 19M Mobil DTE 18M Mobil DTE 15M OPTIMUM RANGE Between 175oF and 135oF (79.4oC and 57.2oC) Between 145oF and 115oF (62.7oC and 46.1oC) Between 110oF and 80oF (43.3oC and 26.7oC) EXTENDED RANGE 115oF (46.14oC) 100oF (37.8oC) 60oF (15.6oC)
If stabilized system temperatures have not been established, the oil can be selected based on anticipated ambient temperature range. AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE oF (32.2oC) or higher 90 32oF to 90oF (0oC to 32.2oC) 20oF to 32oF (28.9oC to 0oC) Under 20oF (28.9oC) OIL SELECTION DTE 19M or equivalent DTE 18M or equivalent DTE 15M or equivalent Consult Manufacturer ISO EQUIVALENT ISO 150/220 ISO 100 ISO 46
These selections assume "normal operating conditions" as expected in quarry or quarry-like operations. Pioneering and secondary drilling normally result in a lower than average operating temperature; the necessity to drill out of the hole to remove stuck steel, as found in badly broken ground, will result in higher than normal operating temperatures. NOTE Since the determining factor for safe and efcient operation is the viscosity of the oil, nal selection for the oil (or changing the oil) should be based on the stabilized oil temperature in your specic drilling application.
In addition to the viscosity at stabilized oil temperature, we also have to consider viscosity at start-up conditions. Limitations are cavitation of the pumps and sluggish controls, and extended warm-up periods that may be required to avoid pump cavitation and to provide adequate control. Oils with high viscosity index (above 120) are better able to cover a wide range of temperatures. Oils with lower viscosity index may need more frequent change of oil based on ambient temperature or may require an oil heater to improve start-up conditions In general, cold starts may be made at a temperature of at least 30oF (16.9oC) warmer than the pour point of the uid. All cold starts should be made at low pressure, low ow, and low speed.

To avoid unnecessary machine repairs, keep the following in mind when handling fuel and lubricants: Clean grease ttings with a clean cloth before greasing. Keep all fuels and lubricants stored in clean and tightly sealed containers. Keep ller caps clean of dust and oil. Replace lters inside a shop or when no dust is in the air. Never reuse paper lters. Wash metal parts of lters with clean oil. Do not wipe the parts with a cloth. Keep dirt and dust from entering any uid system. Keep the fuel storage containers and system lled. Watch for metal lings on any magnetic drain plugs. Filings are a sign of internal component wear or misadjustment. If the source can be determined and repaired as a part of scheduled maintenance, costly down time can be avoided later. Ensure that clean fuel of correct grade for winter/summer is used.
6-4

General Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is lled at the factory with Chevron AW MV ISO 100. Any other oils used, must meet the specications listed on page 6-3. Diesel fuel or kerosene used as dilutants for cold weather operation are not recommended, as they are not sufciently rened products. Do not use any re resistant uids or non-petroleum oils without consulting the manufacturer. Keeping the hydraulic oil clean is by far the most effective method to help provide long hydraulic system component life with minimum downtime. Adding hydraulic oil to the tank is one source of contamination. Insure the oil you add is clean, and do not let any dirt or water fall into the ll spout, etc. when you are adding oil. The second, and larger cause of contamination is possible any time hydraulic ttings or hoses are disconnected. Never leave any open path for contamination to get into the oil. Always cap and plug any open ttings, hoses, etc., with clean ttings.
Daily Operational Checklist

In addition to the daily scheduled maintenance listed in the Maintenance Schedule, several mechanical checks should be added to ensure long, safe and trouble-free operation. Each day the minimum items to be checked include: All daily interval hours checkpoint items. Check underside. Look for broken or loose hoses. If dripping fuel, hydraulic oil or coolant is evident, do not continue until leak is found and corrected. Check that tracks are tensioned properly. Clear any rocks, mud or snow from tracks to prevent overtensioning or other damage. Check for clean, tight battery connections. Check that the battery is fully charged. With the ignition switch in the ON position, the battery voltage reading should indicate 2425 volts. When the engine is running, the voltage should increase slightly to indicate alternator charging. Look for loose or missing bolts. Replace all missing bolts and tighten loose bolts. Tighten bolts per torque specication in this section unless otherwise stated in the Parts List. Lubricate chuck end of drill every 2 to 3 hours during drilling. Look for excessive play due to worn wear pads on the boom, drill and feed. Check ll caps, tank covers and dipstick. They should be in place and seated properly. Check the engine intake and exhaust clamps, be sure they are tight to prevent damage to the turbocharger. Check the radiator coolant level by oscillating machine forward and removing radiator cap. Do not remove if engine is hot. Drain water from fuel/water separator.
6-5

BE SURE all bolts are tight and not damaged. Pay particular attention to critical areas, such as; feed mounting, boom pivot, boom mounting, drill mounting slide or any areas where loose bolts could cause a component to fall and cause injury.
Bolt Maintenance
Check torque on bolts after rst 50 hours of machine operation. Retorque any bolts that are less than the specied value as listed in the Bolt Torque Specications sheet at the end of this section or as specied on the assembly drawing. Pay particular attention to critical mounting areas, such as; feed mounting, boom pivot, boom mounting, drill mounting slide, or any areas where loose bolts could cause a component to fall and cause injury or machine damage. Refer to drill service manual for bolt maintenance on drill. Periodically inspect bolts for damage and replace as necessary. Check torque and retorque as required.
Safety Sign Maintenance

Replace any missing or damaged safety signs. Keep operator safety in mind at all times. Use mild soap and water to clean safety signs. Do not use solvent-based cleaners as they may damage the safety sign material. Refer to Section 1 for safety sign locations on the machine.
Hydraulic Drill Accumulator Charge PressureCheck Monthly

The drills used on the R30C are the HPR45 and the optional HPR51. Some machines are equipped with the HPR1H-ATW drill. The drill accumulator's must be charged with dry nitrogen before drilling. Check accumulator charge pressure monthly. Each time charge pressure is checked, a little charge pressure is lost, therefore don't check any more than necessary. If drill hoses vibrate excessively, this is an indication that charge pressure is low, and must be checked and recharged. Refer to Service Manual Drill Section for correct procedure for checking and charging accumulators. Or, refer to Charging Instructions (1053068) that comes with Drill Charge Kit (1HPR781X).
