If you contact an electrical line:

STEPPING ON OR OFF AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED MACHINE CAN CAUSEELECTROCUTION.

Don’t allow anyone to approach the machine or any equipment connected to themachine if a contact occurs. The machine and ground will become electrically charged.

When an electrical contact occurs, the ground surface near the machine will becomeelectrically charged. Large voltage differences may exist on the ground surface. If youstand or walk in these electrically charged areas, a potentially strong current may passthrough you if the surface voltages at your feet are different. All personnel must be keptaway from the work area, and any equipment connected to the machine. An electricalstrike may also be indicated by electrical arcing, explosion, smoke, or popping where thecontact 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 ordeath 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 theelectrical power line.

3. Have someone who is clear of the work area contact the utility company to shut offthe electrical power.

IF THE POWER HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY SHUT OFF, AN AUTOMATICALLY RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKER COULD REENERGIZE THE POWER LINE, CAUSINGTHE EQUIPMENT AND GROUND TO AGAIN BECOME CHARGED IF THE MACHINE ISCLOSE TO OR IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE. DO NOT CONTINUEDRILLING UNTIL THE UTILITY COMPANY HAS DECLARED THE AREA SAFE TORESUME THE OPERATION.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTMENTS

To ensure maximum life and performance of the machine, it is important that theadjustments be made, periodically checked, and readjusted when necessary.

Lubricator

SHUT DOWN THE MACHINE AND RELIEVE ALL INTERNAL AIR PRESSURE BEFORELOOSENING OR REMOVING THE LUBRICATOR BOWL.

Be sure that the lubricator is filled with rock drill oil. Shut down the machine beforeloosening or removing the lubricator fill cap. Remove cap slowly to release internal airpressure. Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment knobs. Turn the lubricator adjustmentvalve on the lubricator tank in a clockwise direction until the lubricator adjustment valve iscompletely closed (finger tight only). Open the lubricator adjustment valve 1–1/4 turns.Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment knob. Turn the drifter lubricator adjustment valve onthe drill guide in a clockwise direction until the drifter lubricator adjustment valve iscompletely 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 thedischarged air at the drill exhaust port. Place a white piece of paper 4 to 6 in. (102 to 152mm) 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 thedrill with oil. Allow a few minutes for the air to circulate between valve adjustments. Thedrifter must receive adequate lubrication, but must not be over lubricated. Over lubricationcauses dieseling which destroys the lubricant. It results in scored cylinders, pistons, pistonstem bearings, and damage to other internal parts. Frequently check the lubrication settingof both lubricator valves during drilling operations. The flow of oil is affected by changes inambient temperature, and pressure. Readjust the valves as required. Tighten the setscrewsafter adjustment has been made. Refer to Table 7 of this Section for the proper type of rockdrill oil to be used, and Table 8 for the proper viscosity of rock drill oil to use during differentweather conditions.

Track Chain Tension

The proper tension must be maintained on the track chain so that it does not come off theidler 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 totighten 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 propertension is reached.

c. To Loosen Track – Loosen the lubrication fitting (1) on the track adjuster and allow thegrease to run out. Do not remove this fitting. Once the proper tension is reached,tighten the lubrication fitting.
