Inspection points

Daily Inspection

To ensure optimal utilization of the rig and its equipment, it is of utmost importance that daily maintenance is carried out in accordance with our recommendations.

The objective for the daily inspection of the rig is to:

• detect faults at an early stage• facilitate servicing• allow scheduled maintenance and planned reconditioning work to be performed

• prevent costly secondary damage• prevent breakdowns• prevent personal injury

Note:Do not operate the rig or the rig equipment until all faults have been rectified.

Daily Inspection

Daily Inspection

• Always begin by making a proper work area or heading inspection.

• Check the overall condition of the equipment.

• Check safety devices• Check hoses and cables• Check oil levels• Check the lubrication points.• Keep your eyes open for possible leakage and wear.

• Pay attention to any faults in the function of the controls.

Checklist

Daily InspectionBefore performing an equipment inspection it’s important to identify and correct any hazards in the area where the equipment is parked by completing an inspection of that area and recording the inspection on your 5 point card.

Think about these points:

• What is my work area?

• What is a heading?

• What hazards did I find?

• What did I do to correct those hazards?

Daily InspectionOverall visual inspection of the carrier, boom,

screen handler, and bolt unit.

Is the unit clean?

Is there any newdamage?

Are there any obvious leaks?

Is it safe to continue withthe equipment

RCS - Rig Control System

Overview

What is RCS ?

Advanced Drill Control Man Machine Interface

OptionsSoftware

RCS – Rig Control System

RCS - Rig Control SystemAccess Levels

There are several access levels to RCS:

This is to prevent inexperienced personnel from entering RCS and changing parameters and settings.

It also avoids unneeded site visits to restore settings accidentally changed.

Three access levels are built in:

Operator, local service staff, and Atlas Copco service staff.

RCS (Rig Control System) is a control system that governs and monitors the rig. It is intended for the following use:

• Checking necessary and essential parameters

• Conveying necessary information to the operator

• Executing orders given from the operator panel

It is essential that the service brakes and park brake be properly maintained at all times.

Test the park/emergency and service brakes at the beginning of each shift, and before driving down ramps.

If the machine fails any part of the brake system tests, do not operate the machine until corrective action has been taken.

Inform your supervisor immediately if the machine fails a brake test.

WARNING!Brake Test

Brake Test – Parking Brake

• Make sure that the parking brake is applied• Start the diesel engine and engage 2nd gear• Gradually increase engine rpm to maximum• Check the rig for movement. If the rig moves the brakes must

be adjusted without delay

– NoteDo not continue this check for longer than 4 seconds at most

Selecting work mode

Before drilling can start, the “drilling” work mode must be selected with button (19) on the operator panel.

When switching from bolting to drilling, the control system will perform an automatic cradle change, which means that the rock drill is moved from parked position to drill center and the three-position mechanism places the drill steel into the drill-steel support.

The carousel will also rotate automatically so that a new bolt is fed into the bolt arm/arms.

Drilling & boltingDrilling & Bolting

Adjusting the water mist

Knob (1) adjusts the quantity of water for drilling with water mist (water injection). The quantity of water in the flushing air should be sufficient to prevent dust during collaring and drilling. Normally, a larger quantity of water is required at the start of a hole.
