3-3-3

OPEN When the oscillating lock lever is at [ON], the hydraulic connecting circuit is released during traveling or oscillating operation to set the oscillation of the right and left track frames to be possible. Because the right and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic connecting circuit, the right and left track frames oscillate in reverse directions and against each other, according to the unevenness of the ground. That increases stability when moving over unleveled ground.

to the operator side or the sliding hood moves upward when titling this switch forward.

4. Pilot Lamp This lamp lights up when the flushing air pressure or airflow drops or when feedback occurs because the rod rotation pressure increases. 5. Anti-Jamming Switch The anti-jamming switch has two functions; one is to prevent jamming where the bit and rod cannot be pulled out during the drilling. And the other is RP (Reverse Percussion), which is to pull out the rod by using the drifter impact force when the rod cannot be pulled out during drilling. Anti-Jamming Position Tilt the anti-Jamming switch forward, and the safety device (anti-jamming) operates. It automatically moves backward, if an abnormal condition is detected during drilling.

If the following troubles are detected while the anti-jamming works, the drifter moves backward automatically. The flushing air pressure has dropped due to a trouble of the compressor. Flushing airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip, etc. Rod rotation pressure has increased abnormally due to thrust up to the fracture zone or a solid

zone. Position RP (If Equipped) RP (Reverse Percussion) uses drifter impact force to pull out the rod when the rod cannot be pulled out during drilling. ★ RP (Reverse Percussion) is installed as an option when the machine is delivered from the factory. The RP (Reverse Percussion) is activated by the following procedure. 1. Tilt the anti-jamming switch (1) backward. 2. Push the feed lever (2) one step forward and set the feed

lever (2) to normal feed position. 3. Pull the impact lever (3) backward fully. The drifter

activates strong impact and the rod is pulled out. ★ The RP (Reverse Percussion) is automatically stopped

after 20 seconds. 4. When the RP (Reverse Percussion) needs repeated use,

temporarily stop impact and then pull the impact lever (3) again.

Continuous operation of the RP function not only leads to increased oil temperature and degradation of the drifter function, but also to machine breakdown. Avoid the continuous use of the RP function, as much as possible.

Handling during the Season In order to optimize the air-conditioning in the season, supply the cooling refrigerant: do check and maintenance. ★ To check the cooling refrigerant (gas), refer to 14.1 “When Required”. If the outside air enters the cabin, the cooling effect is not sufficient. Close the door or window

correctly. If the hot water of the heater circulates, the hot air hinders the cooling effect. Close the heater

cock correctly. ★ For heater cock, refer to 3.7.2 “Heater”.

Don’t keep the temperature at [HIGH/COOL]. If the high speed running continues set the temperature at LOW and the airflow at HIGH.

Handling in the Off-Season

If the air-conditioner is left for a long time with cooling refrigerant (gas) leaking, it might cause corrosion in the system. During the off-season, operate the air-conditioner for 5 - 6 minutes twice of three times a month will prevent the leakage of cooling refrigerant (gas) from the compressor sealing section.

New refrigerant (gas) R134a is tasteless, odorless, and harmless in the open air. However, if its liquid should have attached to your eyes or hands, you may lose your sight or you may be frostbitten. Never loosen any parts in the refrigerant (gas) circuit. For the supply of cooling refrigerant (gas) and checking and maintenance of the air-conditioner, ask your nearest distributor.

3.8 Handling of Fire Extinguisher The fire extinguisher in the machine is effective for the following: General Fire: fiber, paper and wood fires. Oil Fire: Diesel and other such oil fires. Electric Fire: Fire in electrical equipment with a risk of shock.

Precautions in Extinguishing Fire

The forcible use might increase the fire. It may not be possible to use the extinguisher to deal with a large fire or to use the extinguisher fast enough. The fire extinguishing should be from the windward so that gases are not inhaled. Tilting the extinguisher reduces its efficiency. Keep it as straight upright as possible. The fire extinguishing liquid is electric conductive. In order to prevent a short circuit or electric

shock; turn off the power when fighting fire electrical equipment. In fire fighting, approach the fire gradually keeping back 3 m after the fire is reduced. When fighting fire always keep open an escape route.

Drilling Precautions Beware with Blow Up of Cuttings

Check if cuttings are blows up by means of flushing air during drilling. If the blowhole at the bit tip is stuffed, the flushing air pressure is increased. If the blowout of the flushing air becomes weak, cuttings cannot be discharged normally to easily result in hole stuffing and jamming. ★ When the anti-jamming switch is anti-jamming position, the drifter moves backward automatically

when the flushing air pressure has increased, or the airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip. Clean the Drilling Hole

If the cuttings cannot be discharged normally or the flushing air pressure increases, stop the impact and move the drifter up and down 2 – 3 times to clean the hole before re-starting drilling. ★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to anti-jamming position, the drifter is automatically stopped

moving forward if the rotation pressure is excessively increased. Beware of Spring Water

If dirty water is collected, the filter element in the dust collector may be clogged and dust collection degraded. If spring water comes out during drilling, tilt the dust collector switch backward and stop the dust collector operation.

4.5.4 End of Drilling Work Mounting and Dismounting the Rods

The rods are added to each other, and drawn by loosening screws of the sleeves and rods by means of rotation-free impact after the end of all drilling work. These rods are mounted and dismounted by operating the rod changer without any direct handling of these rods by a worker. 1. After drilling return all operation levers and switches,

except for the anti-jamming switch (1), to “NEUTRAL” or “OFF”.

2. Push the dust collector switch (2) forward in order to start

the dust collector. 3. Pull the flushing lever (3) backward. 4. Pull the feed lever (4) backward by one step and push the

Towing

5-2-1

5.2 Towing Don't tow the machine except where it can't move under its own power, due to breakdown of the drive motor or malfunction of the hydraulic system. If it can’t move, release the parking brake before starting its towing. When the machine is towed, take care of the following: Tow the machine with it set to "traveling posture”. Movement of a towed machine should only be for checking or maintenance.

Do not tow the machine more than 100m. If a longer distance is required, transport it on a vehicle such as a trailer.

Tow the machine at 2km/h or less, otherwise the drive motor might seize. Use a tow wire rope of 1.5 times or more of the strength needed to tow a vehicle of the mass of

the machine to be towed. Do not use a twisted or kinked wire rope. Do not use a chain to tow the machine because a link might break. The size of the tractor should be equivalent to or larger than the machine to be towed. Move and set the wire rope so that the coupling section of the tractor is aligned with the

attachment to the machine. Before towing, make sure there is nobody between the tractor and the machine. If the tractor moves suddenly the wire rope might break.

Operate the tractor slowly and at a steady speed. Do not tow the machine on sloping ground because the machine might run away under its own

mass.

Incorrect towing of the machine that can’t move under its own power is very dangerous and might cause accidents resulting in injury or death. When the machine is to be towed, comply with the following precautions.

10. General Safety Instructions The longevity of any piece of construction equipment is greatly influenced by operating techniques and the quality of the routine care it receives. Routine checks and service are essential for preventing breakdowns, maintaining performance and keeping operation costs down. Also, fuel and lubricant consumption, as well as any problems which the operator may have noticed, is an important part any good maintenance program. Service Your Machine at Specified Intervals Lubricate make service checks and adjustments at intervals shown on the periodic maintenance

chart and on the following pages. Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement.

For example, at 500 hours also service those items (if applicable) listed less than 250 hours, 100 hours, 50 hours, and daily.

Use correct fuels and lubricants. Refer to 11. “Fuels and Lubricants” when performing maintenance on your machine.

Use the Hour Meter to determine servicing intervals. Intervals on the periodic maintenance chart are for operating in normal conditions.

If you operate your machine in hard conditions, you should service it at Short Intervals. Safety

1. Before beginning any maintenance work, be sure to get a good idea of the general condition of the machine. You are about to work on in order to avoid any danger to yourself.

2. Set the safety lock lever to the LOCK position to fix the travel levers. Set the oscillating lock lever

at OFF position. Set all operation levers and switches to neutral or off. 3. Never do any maintenance work while the machine is in operation or engine running. 4. Hang a “DO NOT OPERATE” or similar warning tag near operator’s seat to warn others not to

start or operate the machine. 5. Before doing any work, set the guide shell horizontal and lower the guide shell on the ground to

avoid accidents. Place a block to each track shoe. 6. When workings on the electrical system, first turn starter switch OFF and then take off battery

cable from battery negative terminal as a safety precaution, and to avoid any possible damage to electrical components.

11. Fuels and Lubricants 11.1 Emergency Measures First Aid If fuel or lubricant accidentally splashed in your eyes, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.

Get medical attention immediately. If it gets on your skin, wash it with soap and water. If you inhale it, go out into fresh air and keep warm with your body wrapped in a blanket.

Keep quiets and get medical attention immediately. If you drink it, do not force yourself to vomit. Get medical attention immediately.

If inside of your mouth is contaminated, wash with large amount of water. Treatment for Leakage

If fuel or lubricant leaks, do not send it into the sewage system or river, so that secondary disaster or environmental pollution is not caused. Find the leakage point and stop leaking. Prepare such fire extinguishing equipment as a fire extinguisher. Do not allow any burning cigarette, spark or naked flame close to the leaking point. Use protective gear with good conductivity in order not to generate static electricity. If required, wear a gas mask. If the leakage is small, dry it with soil, saw dust or a rag. If the leakage is large, contain the flow by surrounding it with soil. Cover the liquid's surface with

bubble fire extinguishing liquid and retrieve it in an empty container. If leakage occurs indoors, ventilate the room by opening windows and doors.

Measures in Fire Wear protective gear for fire extinguishing, such as a gas mask and protective gloves and

extinguish the fire from the windward. Stop everybody except for the fire fighters from coming near the fire. Fire extinguishing with bubble fire extinguishing liquid and intercepting air is effective.

Do not use water because it might spread the fire. Sprinkle water around the origin of a fire to cool the spot and prevent the spread of a fire.

Careless handling of fuels and lubricants might cause not only environmental destruction, but also accident resulting in injury or death. Take the greatest care in handling fuels and lubricants.

11.2 Fuel Fuel Specifications

The following specific natures are required for the diesel fuel. Must be free from minute dust particles. Must have adequate viscosity. Must have high cetane value. Must have high fluidity at low temperature. Muse is less sulfur content. Must have little residual carbon.

Caterpillar recommends the use of fuel meeting the Grade No.2-D requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D975, Standard Specifications for Diesel Fuel Oils. At operating temperatures below 0°C, use a blend of No.1-D and No.2-D fuels, also know as “winterized” No.2-D. ★ For a more detailed description of fuel properties, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual of

Caterpillar C7 Engine. Fuel Storage

The engine fuel injection pump and nozzle are sensitive components. Any fuel with water or dust will cause them to break down. In handling fuel, comply with the following: Fill the fuel tank at the end of operation. Keep fuel in a clean fuel storage tank in a protected area. Drain water and sediment from the fuel storage tank weekly.

Drain water and sediment before the tank is refilled. If possible, install a water separator at the fuel storage tank outlet. Keep the area around the fuel tank filler neck clean of debris in order to prevent contamination of

the fuel tank. Drain water and sediment from the fuel tank daily.

Do not use de-icers to remove water from fuel. Do not depend on fuel filters to remove water. Before the engine is started, drain any water and sediment accumulated at the bottom of the fuel

tank.

The diesel fuel quality greatly affects the performance and life of the engine. Use only clean, high quality fuel.

11.3 Lubricants Engine Oil Pan

The engine oil greatly affects the performance, starting ability and life of the engine. If unsuitable oil is used, or oil change is neglected, it may result in damage, and a shorter engine life. Recommended engine oils for Caterpillar engine are as follows. Caterpillar Diesel Engine Oil (10W30) Caterpillar Diesel Engine Oil (15W40) CI-4 Class or higher in API service classification

Use the multi-grade diesel engine oil of the SAE 15W-40 as your engine oil. For further details and discussion of engine lubricating oils, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual of Caterpillar C7 Diesel Engine. Hydraulic Oil

Selection and maintenance of hydraulic oil is important for fully exhibiting the machine performance and maintaining a high efficiency. Use industrial-type hydraulic oil ISO VG46. Contaminants such as metal powder and dust mixed with the hydraulic oil will cause rapid wear and malfunction of the hydraulic equipment. If the hydraulic oil contamination level exceeds NAS-11 class, change the hydraulic oil more frequently. The hydraulic oil recommends the use to NAS-11 class based on the NAS-1638 standards. NAS: National Aerospace Standard Committee

Gear Oil

Since gear oil is used under severe conditions, proper oil must be selected.

It must satisfy the following characteristics.

Proper viscosity. High viscosity to tooth surfaces without being scattered by the centrifugal force.

Fluid without any solidification or exfoliation at a low temperature.

Do no mix lubricants of different brands with each other. Fully wipe off oil filler ports, grease nipples, hands, tools, etc. to prevent ingress of foreign substances during lubrication.
