5.6 DRILLING

5.6.1 BEFORE DRILLINGINITIAL CONTROLS:

• Be sure that the position and the direction of the hole is correct.

• Be sure that the drill feed is firmly placed against the face and maintained in that position throughoutthe drilling operation.

• Open the water flushing valve.

The pump will start automatically if the inlet water pressure is greater than 2 bar (51 psi).

NOTE: If the water pressure supplied by the mine is less than 2 bar or if the water filter is clogged,the water pump stops automatically.

5.6.2 COLLARING THE HOLE

• Push the rotation lever DOWNWARD.

• Slowly push DOWNWARD the feed thrust lever. When the bit touches the face, low energy

percussion will automatically start.

When drilling in difficult location as lifters or side wall holes: do not operate the rotation and usegently the feed forward then activate the MANUAL PERCUSSION .

STOP this process as soon as the bit has taken its place into the rock.Use this process for few seconds only to place all the carbide inserts properly in contact to the rock.

• When the bit has penetrated the rock, the collaring process is finished.

• Re-centre the rod in the rod guide if necessary while the machine is still drilling.

5.6.3 DRILLING

• According to drilling conditions, proceed drilling with water flushing.

• Keep the rotation lever pushed DOWNWARD.

• Push the feed thrust lever DOWNWARD to the MAXIMUM feed position.

NOTE: The feed forward movement stops if there is lack of air pressure or water flow.

QUASAR 1F DRILLING


5.6.4 CORRECTING DRILLING DIRECTION

CAUTION: Displacing the boom once the bit has penetrated the rock will create stress on the rod

guides, the articulations, and the cylinders. The only correction allowed is recentering the rod in therod guides.

Correction while drilling:

• Using the feed extention lever, return the drill feed to allow the stinger to loose contact to the face.

• Move the boom until the rod is recentered in the rod guides.

• Use the feed extention forward until the drill feed is in contact with the face.

5.6.5 FEED RETURN

1 - MANUAL RETURN

Move the feed lever upward to activate the rock drill’s backward movement.

2 - AUTOMATIC RETURN (OPTIONAL)

If the automatic feed return is set active, at the electric control box, then, when the rock drill hasreached the end of the drill feed, an automatic device activates the return of the rock drill.Leave the feed lever in position until complete rod retraction.

CAUTION: After complete retraction, do not forget to position the feed lever in the neutral position(lever in upward position) before positioning the boom to drill the next hole to avoid oil overheating.

3 - ROD UNCOUPLING

Recommended procedure for uncoupling the bit or the shank adaptor.

• Anchor the drill feed and then open the water circuit.

• DO NOT USE THE ROTATION.

• Using the Feed Lever , advance the rockdrill.

• Move the Feed Lever to the ’MAXIMUM feed’ position. This allows the full percussion energy to beactivated for a better breaking capability.

5.6.6 MANUAL PERCUSSION

Push the manual percussion button at the electric control box.Half energy percussion is activated.It is possible to use the manual percussion and the feed control lever to advance or return.

CAUTION: When using manual percussion, most of the energy generated by the percussion isabsorbed by the rock drill itself, the front head and the carriage assembly. An excessive use of

manual percussion will result in rapid wear of the water flushing head, and premature breaking ofthe shank.

5.6.7 DRILLING IMPERATIVES

The following rules guarantee optimum drilling performance, resulting in

high productivity at low operating costs.

The drilling tools must be in good operating condition.1 - THE BIT

A correct clearance angle and proper water pressure, evacuate the cutting

as soon as they have been broken from the face.

CAUTION: Drilling with a worn bit results in an increase in rotation torque

and loss of penetration rate.

To increase productivity a worn bit should be replaced with a new or

resharpened one.

5.6.8 ENDING A SHIFT

When you stop the drilling process at the end of the shift or for any other reason, carry on following

operations:

• Tilt the front end of the drill feed downward the stinger in contact to the ground.

• Stop the powerpack

• Close the water supply valve at the mine line

• As to prevent the alternator to be damaged, stop the diesel engine prior to turn the battery masterswitch to the "OFF" position.

• Place the main electric breaker to the "OFF" position

• Shut OFF the power at the mine electric box.

• Wash the machine mainly the drill feed and the boom.

• Fill-up the shift report form.

• Report any defects that you have noticed.

• Ensure that the power supply from the mine

electric box to the machine is OFF.

• Unplug the cable into the mine electric box.• Connect up the towing machine to the

towed machine with a RIGID BAR. Hook the

bar at the towing points located at the rear

of the machine (see the figure below).

CAUTION: Never try to tow the machine if

the multi-function HP valves, located on the

tramming pump (see figures below) are

tightened. The maximum towing distance

allowed is 1/2 km, over this distance the

hydraulic motor(s) could be damaged due tolack in internal lubrication.

• Untight the both valves and turn them four

revolutions counter-clockwise, to by-pass

the oil flow. The tramming motor can now

turn without resistance.

• Release the emergency/park brake valve by pulling, fully upward, the red knob.

• Close the ball valve of the unbraking hand-pump.

WARNING: This ball valve must be always open in normal use of the machine. If not, the park brake may not work, don’t forget to reopen the ball valve after towing the machine.

• Use the unbraking hand pump to pressurize the brake cylinders. The pressure build up by the handpump is sufficient to release the brakes.

NOTE: The brake valve is always functionning. To apply the brakes push downward the red knob, as

you do in normal conditions.

WARNING: Never try to tow a machine which presents problems on tramming

components

WARNING: The valves should be retighten as soon as the towing process as been

completed. NEVER START THE ENGINE THE HP VALVES UNTIGHTEN IN

TOWING POSITION.

6.2 TRANSPORT PLATFORM

WARNING: BEFORE DRIVING THE MACHINE ONTO A TRANSPORT PLATFORM,

MOVE THE BOOMS AND THE FEEDS INTO THE TRAMMING POSITION. NEVER

EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SIDE AND SLOPE LIMITATION.

When driving the machine onto a transport platform, use ramps. this should always be done on level

ground.

Always use low speed and observe special caution when coming from the ramps to the platform.

WARNING: It is imperative to block the two locking screws at the central articulation.

Before moving the platform:

- Lower all stabilizers against the platform floor.

- Move the booms as low as possible and fasten them to platform.

- Fasten the machine chassis to the platform using proper straps or chains.

The lifting device used must be of the correct type and have sufficient lifting capacity.

The rig or parts of it must not be lifted with any devices that are not specifically designed for lifting

purposes.

You must always know the exact weight of the load, and never exceed the lifting capacity specified by the

manufacturer of the lifting device.

Lifting routes should be planned so that the load is not moved over persons or such places where persons

may be present.

Make sure that the lifting equipment is in proper condition Wire ropes and chains used for lifting must be

checked regularly. Damaged wire ropes must be marked clearly and discarded at once.

Lift the load only a few centimetres at first to make sure that it is properly fastened and in balance. Do not

continue lifting until you are sure of proper fastening and balance.

The lifting wire ropes must be fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

6.4 STORING THE MACHINE

• The storing place temperature should be higher than the freezing point, and protected against direct

sunlight and rain.

• Wash the machine if it has been used or transported by sea using a high pressure steam washing

machine.• Drain and blow air through the water circuit. Blow some anti-freeze (rust inhibitor) through the

circuit.

• Lubricate all greasing points.

• Bring the stabilizers in contact to the ground.

• The drill feed stinger should be in contact to the ground.

• The nitrogen rockdrill accumulator should be empty, PLACE A TAG TO REMIND THAT THE

ACCUMULATORS HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED.

• Coat the cylinder rod with grease.

• Drain the air reservoir(s).

• Replace all fluids: engine, hydraulic axle and gear oil.

• Spray a dust and corrosion inhibitor product on all electric devices.

• As to prevent the alternator to be damaged, stop the engine prior to turn the battery master switch

to the «OFF»position.
