Safety and operating instructions
Safety area
WARNING Falling objects can cause serious
injury or death
During operation, falling objects from great heights can
cause bodily injury and extensive damage.
Close
off the working area.
Before
starting always make sure no unauthorized
persons are within the working area of the drill rig in
use.
Immediately
stop operation when persons are
present in the danger area.
Make
sure that no loose pieces of equipment or
other objects are lying on the feed.
Hoisting and transport
WARNING Heavy equipment can cause serious
injury
Use
a sling dimensioned for the load it is to carry.
Use
only straps that are whole and intended for the
load in question.
Never
use a damaged rope/sling.
Fasten
straps in lifting eyes when present.
Always
lift at the centre of gravity.
Always
make sure that nobody is under or anywhere
near a suspended load or within the swing radius of
the rope/sling.
Observe
great care when strapping and lifting heavy
objects.
WARNING Unexpected movement can cause
serious injury
If the rig is left unattended or disconnected from the
transport unit an unexpected movement of the drill unit
can cause serious injury or death
Lock
the articulated steering before hoisting
Make
sure that the hydraulic jacks are grounded or
wedge the wheels of the carrier
NOTICE Sling can damage components
When
lifting, make sure that the sling will not
damage the hydraulic hoses, mechanical
components etc.
Use
a spreader bar to lift the drill unit.

Operation, precautions
WARNING Hydraulic oil at high pressure
Thin jets of hydraulic oil under high pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause permanent damage.
Immediately
consult a doctor if hydraulic oil has
penetrated the skin.
Never
use your fingers to check for hydraulic fluid
leaks.
Keep
your face away from any possible leaks.
WARNING Dust hazard
When drilling with compressed air, the rock cuttings
are carried out of the bore in the form of small cuttings,
and dust, which can cause serious injury.
Some dusts, fumes or other airborne material created
during use of the machine may contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of such chemicals are:
zzCrystalline silica, cement and other masonry
products.
zzArsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
zzLead from lead-based paints.
To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Use
a dust collector, or spray water with a water/
foam pump.
WARNING Heavy equipment can cause serious
injury
Make
sure that the drill is anchored to withstand the
set forces.
Make
sure that the rig is stable before starting to
drill.
WARNING Unexpected movement can cause
serious injury
If control levers and switches are not set to neutral
position, start of the machine can lead to unexpected
movements and can therefore cause injury.
Set
control levers and switches to the neutral
positions prior to starting up.
WARNING Noise hazard
High sound levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Use
hearing protection in accordance with
occupational health and safety regulations.
WARNING Compressed air
When drilIing with compressed air, the rock cuttings
are carried out of the bore in the form of small cuttings,

and harmful dust. In order to reduce the injurious
effect.
Wear
a breathing mask, use a dust collector, or
spray water with a waterlfoam pump, use hearing
protection in accordance with occupational health
and safety regulations
WARNING Rotating parts
Rotating drillpipes, tools and particularly soil augers
are extremely dangerous to handle. Augers turn with
high torque and can cause severe injury if personel is
caught by extruding parts.
Never
touch a rotating auger or any part of an auger

circuits or other electrical power sources, there is a
risk of severe injury or death.
Always
look up to check for overhead electrical
power lines when raising the mast.
Never
work in the proximity of electric circuits or
other electrical power sources.
Make
sure there are no hidden electric circuits in
your working area.
Do
not step off grid mat if such are used. If you
stand on ground, stay put and do not touch any
equipment.
Alert
people in the area; order them to stay out of
the immediate area and not to touch any of your
equipment, including the support container.

Don't
try to remove cuttings from a rotating auger.
Augers may be cleaned only when brought to full
stop.
WARNING Emergency situation
An emergency situation can occur due to material
failure or incorrect handling.
Ask
the supervisor to contact utility company in
order to switch off the system.
If
the strike occurred during drilling, retract
down-hole tool. Do not attempt to break any rod
connection.
Do
not add or remove any drill pipes.

Stop
the operation by pushing the emergency stop
button or if available pull the trip wire.
Check
proper function of the safety equipment at
least once beginning of each shift.

Safety and operating instructions CS 14 Crawler

Maintenance
The performance and reliability of the product is largely dependent on the amount of care and attention shown to
it. Regular checks and inspection of wear prone components prevent breakdowns and costly downtime. Dirt is a
primary cause for most malfunctions in a hydraulic system. Follow the operating instructions carefully.
Always try and keep the core drill clean and free from dirt and other pollutants. It is much easier to detect faults or
oil leakage on clean equipment.
Never leave any part of the hydraulic system open or exposed to external influence.
Always attach tight-fitting plugs to disconnected hose ends and couplings.
Always perform oil refills into the hydraulic oil tank by using the hand pump supplied.
Always store fresh oil stocks in sealed containers.
Always use TREDO-type seals for sealing threads. Use of Teflon tape, oakum or similar, could damage sensitive
components in the system if fragments dislodge and enter the system.
The maintenance sections gives instructions to lubrication, inspection procedures and measures to take, following
a specific number of operating hours. Use this section to get the most out of your equipment and always follow the
instructions given.

CS 14 Crawler
Crawler undercarriage
WARNING High pressure grease.
Grease under high pressure can cause injury to
personnel
The
procedure involves working with grease
contained at ,high pressure and must only be
carried out by qualified fitters.
Checking track tensioning
Stop your machine on solid and level ground and drive
2 metres (minimum) in a forward direction. Measure
the sag on the top part of the track on the longest
section of unsupported track as shown below.
71000150 A
The sag of the track must be between 5mm and
15mm.
The above conditions must be fulfilled on a new
machine. This must also be periodically checked and
corrected if necessary by adjusting the valve fitted to
the end of the grease tensioner.
Whilst checking the track for tension, the track should
also be checked for seized joints.
Adjustment of track tension
Crawler track systems use a grease cylinder to keep
each track chain in tension. Screwed into the end of
the grease cylinder is a grease fitting, enabling grease
to be pumped into the grease chamber and release
from it, tightening and slackening the track.
The grease contained in the track tensioner is
pressurised so care must be taken when loosening
the grease fitting.
