controls properly. DO NOT LET ANYONE OPERATE THIS
MACHINE WITHOUT PROPER INSTRUCTION.

IM6018 31
CHECK FOR OVERHEAD UTILITY LINES
Electrocution possible. Serious injury or death may

result if the machine strikes an energized powerline.
Take the following precautions to prevent
electrocution:
z Always contact your local utility company

when working in the vicinity of utilities.
z Locate overhead utilities.
z Do not raise, lower, or move drill guide or

boom near power lines.
z Always wear proper electrically insulated

linemans gloves and boots.
z Never touch metal parts on machine while

standing on bare ground if machine comes
in contact with a powerline.
z Always stay in cab during all drilling operations.
z Never step onto or off of a machine if an

electric strike occurs.
CHECK FOR UNDERGROUND UTILITY LINES
Before starting work, remember that contact with

buried utilities may cause serious injury or death.
Electric line contact may cause electric shock or
electrocution. Gas line contact may rupture pipe
causing explosion or fire. Fiber optic cables can blind
you if you look into the laser light in them. Water line
rupture may cause a flood and possible ground
collapse. Before drilling, check with qualified sources
to properly locate all buried utilities in and around drill
path. Select a drill path that will not intersect buried
utilities. Never launch a drill bit on a path toward
electric, gas, or water lines. Until their location is
known, have the utility company shut it off before
starting any underground work. Excavate to confirm
its exact location.
1-888-258-0808
32 IM6018
If you contact an electrical line:
STEPPING ON OR OFF AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED MACHINE CAN CAUSE

ELECTROCUTION.
Dont allow anyone to approach the machine or any equipment connected to the
machine if a contact occurs. The machine and ground will become electrically charged.
When an electrical contact occurs, the ground surface near the machine will become
electrically charged. Large voltage differences may exist on the ground surface. If you
stand or walk in these electrically charged areas, a potentially strong current may pass
through you if the surface voltages at your feet are different. All personnel must be kept
away from the work area, and any equipment connected to the machine. An electrical
strike may also be indicated by electrical arcing, explosion, smoke, or popping where the
contact occurs.
If you are seated with both feet on the machine:
1. Do not get off the machine. The machine may be highly charged and cause injury or
death if you make contact with the machine and the ground while stepping off.
2. Retract the drill to the end of the stroke in an attempt to break contact with the
electrical power line.
3. Have someone who is clear of the work area contact the utility company to shut off
the electrical power.
IF THE POWER HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY SHUT OFF, AN AUTOMATICALLY

RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKER COULD REENERGIZE THE POWER LINE, CAUSING
THE EQUIPMENT AND GROUND TO AGAIN BECOME CHARGED IF THE MACHINE IS
CLOSE TO OR IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE. DO NOT CONTINUE
DRILLING UNTIL THE UTILITY COMPANY HAS DECLARED THE AREA SAFE TO
RESUME THE OPERATION.
IM6018 33
If you contact a gas or liquid line:
1. Shut off the engine and evacuate the area immediately.
2. Contact the utility company.
3. Do not return to the job site until the utility company has given you
permission to do so.
If you contact a fiber optic cable:
1. Do not look into the end. Fiber optic cables carry laser light
which will damage your eye. If you are not sure what kind of
cable it is, do not look into the end.
2. Contact the phone company.

Loose or Frayed Hoses
It is necessary to do an overall check for loose or frayed hoses. A frayed hydraulic hose can
instantly break open; spraying hot hydraulic fluid on a person; causing severe burns. Always
replace a worn or damaged hose immediately.
Loose Nuts and Bolts
It is necessary to do an overall check for loose nuts and bolts. All nuts and bolts must be kept
properly tighten at all times.
Drill Steel, Striking Bar, and Bits
The bits, drill steel, and striking bar must be checked for wear, cracks, and damage. Any one
of these problems should be corrected right away. The bits should also be checked for
missing carbides. If the striking bar needs to be replaced, refer to the drifter instruction
manual for proper replacement.

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENTS
To ensure maximum life and performance of the machine, it is important that the
adjustments be made, periodically checked, and readjusted when necessary.
Lubricator
SHUT DOWN THE MACHINE AND RELIEVE ALL INTERNAL AIR PRESSURE BEFORE
LOOSENING OR REMOVING THE LUBRICATOR BOWL.
Be sure that the lubricator is filled with rock drill oil. Shut down the machine before
loosening or removing the lubricator fill cap. Remove cap slowly to release internal air
pressure. Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment knobs. Turn the lubricator adjustment
valve on the lubricator tank in a clockwise direction until the lubricator adjustment valve is
completely closed (finger tight only). Open the lubricator adjustment valve 11/4 turns.
Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment knob. Turn the drifter lubricator adjustment valve on
the drill guide in a clockwise direction until the drifter lubricator adjustment valve is
completely closed (finger tight only). Open the drifter lubricator adjustment valve 3/4 turns.
To determine if the drifter lubricator adjustment valve is properly adjusted, check the
discharged air at the drill exhaust port. Place a white piece of paper 4 to 6 in. (102 to 152
mm) from the exhaust port for 2 to 5 seconds. If a slight amount of oil adheres to the paper,
it indicates that the drifter lubricator adjustment valve is adjusted properly. Do not flood the
drill with oil. Allow a few minutes for the air to circulate between valve adjustments. The
drifter must receive adequate lubrication, but must not be over lubricated. Over lubrication
causes dieseling which destroys the lubricant. It results in scored cylinders, pistons, piston
stem bearings, and damage to other internal parts. Frequently check the lubrication setting
of both lubricator valves during drilling operations. The flow of oil is affected by changes in
ambient temperature, and pressure. Readjust the valves as required. Tighten the setscrews
after adjustment has been made. Refer to Table 7 of this Section for the proper type of rock
drill oil to be used, and Table 8 for the proper viscosity of rock drill oil to use during different
weather conditions.

Track Chain Tension
The proper tension must be maintained on the track chain so that it does not come off the
idler or sprocket while traveling. Place a straight edge over the top of the track chain.
Measure the sag; the sag should be no more than 1/2 in. (13mm). Use the following steps to
tighten or loosen the track chain for the proper tension:
a. Remove the inspection cover.
b. To Tighten Track Pump grease through the lubrication fitting (1) until the proper
tension is reached.
c. To Loosen Track Loosen the lubrication fitting (1) on the track adjuster and allow the
grease to run out. Do not remove this fitting. Once the proper tension is reached,
tighten the lubrication fitting.
