Transporting, Manoeuvring and Re-commissioning
4. Store hazardous materials in restricted access areas and mark them clearly.
5. Do not smoke or allow smoking near flammable fuels or solvents. Use non-flammable
solvents for cleaning parts and equipment.
6. Make certain enough ventilation is present to run engines safely. Do not start an engine in
an enclosed space without properly vented exhaust. Exhaust fumes from gasoline or diesel
engines can kill!
7. Avoid electrical and static sparks and any open flame while handling, storing, moving or
pouring fuels, electrolytes for batteries, hydraulic fluids or coolants.
8. Check for leaks in tanks or tubing with flashlights or other proper equipment. Never use
an open flame to check for leaks.
9. Know where fire extinguishers and other fire suppression equipment are located.
Learn how to use them.
10. Be alert and wary around any pressurized system: hydraulic or air. High pressure gases
and oils can be very dangerous. Know your equipment and operate it properly.
11. Be alert and watch for pinch points, closing mechanisms, and falling parts when working
on or around any machinery. Keep hands and tools clear.
12. Clean and properly labeled tools are safer tools. Keep your equipment and tools in order.
13. Always use hoisting equipment for heavy loads. Regularly check hooks, cables, shackles
and chains for stretch and wear. Never overload hoists, cranes or other lifting devices.
14. Keep your equipment clean and free of dirt and grease so it can be checked for loose,
cracked or broken parts. Replace defective parts as soon as they are discovered.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Never disable or alter any hydraulic circuit or component without consulting with
Powerscreen or your local dealer.
2. Any work carried out on a hydraulic system must be performed by an engineer with
special knowledge and experience in hydraulics.
3. Relieve all pressure in hydraulic system by returning controls to the neutral position.
Turn machine off and isolate power supply before any pipes, filter caps, filters or hydraulic
fittings are disconnected or removed.
4. Ensure replacement hydraulic components are the same standard and quality as the
original parts. Ensure they are fitted correctly.
5. Beware of hydraulic oil leaks. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin or
damage eyes. Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible. Use a piece of cardboard to
find leaks but do not use bare hand.
6. Wear safety goggles for eye protection. If fluid enters skin or eye, get immediate medical
attention.
7. Replace any damaged hydraulic pipe. Leaks can cause fires. Always ensure a
replacement pipe has the same specification as the original pipe, length, fittings, orientation
and diameter. Ensure pipes are laid and fitted correctly.
8. Do not exceed safe limits. Never set a pressure relief valve to a pressure higher than that
set at the factory.
1. Never work on the electrical system of any equipment unless you are thoroughly familiar
with system details.
2. Work on the electrical system must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
3. If machine is electric-hydraulic or direct electric drive, the ‘mains’ electrical supply to the
machine should always be isolated by unplugging/uncoupling the ‘mains’ power socket.
5. It is recommended that an earth leakage safety switch be fitted in the supply line to the
power point on site. Special care should be taken to ensure that earth wires are correctly
connected.
6. Disconnect the battery ground leads whenever performing any electrical maintenance or
servicing to your engine.
7. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
8. Never short across the starter terminals of a battery as this can cause a fire and could
also damage the electrical system.
9. Battery electrolyte contains acid and can cause serious injury. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Use gloves and protective glasses.
10. Diesel engine exhaust emissions contain products of combustion which may be harmful
to your health. Always operate the machine in a well ventilated area and if operating in an
enclosed area, vent the emissions outside.
11. Do not touch any part of the engine or exhaust system. Allow the engine and exhaust to
cool before performing any repair or maintenance.
12. Never fill the fuel tank with the engine running, while smoking or when near an open
flame.
13. Never overfill the tank or spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, clean it up immediately.
Only qualified and trained personnel should attempt to operate this machinery.
1. Read and understand the Operators Manual before you start the machine.
Study the DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and IMPORTANT safety signs on your machine.
2. Check your machine and have all systems in good operational condition.
- Check for broken, missing or damaged parts.Replace and make necessary repairs.
- Ensure all safety guards and emergency stops are fitted and in working order.
- See ‘Daily Maintenance’ for more detailed checklist before start-up.
3. Before starting, walk completely around the machine. Make sure no one is under it, on it
or close to it. Let other workmen and bystanders know you are starting up and do not start
until everyone is clear of the machine.
4. During operation, do not climb onto, over or under moving conveyor belts and rollers.
Always use ladders, steps and walkways when mounting and dismounting.
5. Hole alignment on mechanical supports must be checked and secured with pins provided
and in accordance with safety signs.
6. Never check the tension of ‘V’ belts, drive chains and conveyors when machine is
running.
8. Never work or stand beneath machinery as they are being loaded with and/or discharging
material.
9. Follow safe operating practices. Operate the machine controls smoothly. Avoid sudden
stops, starts or changes in direction.
10. Only use emergency stop buttons or emergency stop lines (if fitted) in emergency
situations or during safety drills.
11. After each day’s operation, always run the machine dry; never leave material in the
beltfeeder on conveyor belts or screenbox. Starting a machine with a full load will cause

Often it is desirable to know the weight of material being conveyed. This can be estimated
simply by using the formulae below.
Example (Imperial)
Take
Belt speed 300ft/min
Weight of material on 3ft of belt 66.3 lbs
Also
60 minutes in 1 hour
2240 pounds (lbs) in 1 ton
Therefore
Tonnage per hour = 300 x 60 x 66.3 = 1,193,400 = 117.5 Tons per hour
3 x 2240 6,720
Example (metric)
Also
60 minutes in 1 hour
1000 kg in 1 tonne
Therefore
A value for tonnage can be calculated by timing the length of time it takes a certain weight
of material to go up the conveyor belt or over the screen.
Example
A hopper containing 6 tonnes of material takes 2 1/2 minutes to empty.
Then
6 tonnes in 2 1/2 minutes
12 tonnes in 5 minutes
Therefore
Output = 144 Tonnes per hour

NOTICE
The tipping grid is an optional piece of equipment, which is used to remove pieces of
material too large to be effectively screened. In the case of the tipping grid material is
fed on top of the tipping grid, material smaller than 102 mm (4“), which is the standard
aperture size, will tend to fall between the bars of the tipping grid under the force of
gravity. The grid is angled to allow the oversized material to fall off the tipping grid
where it can typically be reprocessed. On occasions material will tend to sit on top
of the reject bars, to remove this material the grid can tip.
The hydraulically operated reject grid can be raised in the following way:
Operating the radio transmitter (RT), by pointing it in the direction of the radio receiver
(RR) fitted above the power unit.
The Vibrating grid is designed for the same purpose as the tipping grid, however the
efficiency of the system increases when a vibrating grid is used. Whereas the tipping
grid uses gravity alone to seperate the oversized from the processable material. The
vibrating grid uses vibration as well. The effect of this is too ensure that little or no
material rests on top of the reject bars at any time.

Fit a pressure clock to the Brake Hose. A pressure of at least 285 PSI / 20 bar is
required to release the brakes.
If the correct pressure is not going to the Brake hose it is likely to be a problem with
the Motion Control Block possibly contamination. If a Load Control Valve should
jam due to oil-entrained debris then the likelihood is that it will not open and will not
allow the motor to turn in one direction.
This will cause the Host Machine to ‘crab’ in one direction. Swapping the valves
over from one Track to the other will usually transfer the problem to the opposite
direction.
Similarly, if the Brake Pressure Regulator Valve is jammed due to debris the motor
will stop turning on one side. Swap the Pressure Regulator from the opposite block
to see if the problem is in the Brake Valve.
Try removing the Valves and cleaning them thoroughly taking care not to damage the
external cavity seals.
Also check the ports in the Block for dirt etc. If this does not work replace the valves
with new ones. Always cross-reference the part numbers on the new valves with the
old valve, before fitting. It is critical that the correct Valves are fitted. Valves should
never be dismantled as no internal seals or parts are available.
If the valves continue to jam then the oil in the hydraulic system is not being filtered
to the required level of cleanliness.
- If the correct pressure is going to the Brake Hose then the Motor, Brake or Brake
Piston Seals may be damaged.
- To check for a Motor fault swap over the Motors on the two Tracks. If the fault is in
the Motor, replace with a new Motor.
- To check for a faulty Brake remove the Motor and look into the Gearbox for heat
discolouration and/or fragments of Brake disc. If the fault is in the Brakes the
complete Gearbox will have to be replaced.
-To check for faulty Brake Piston seals remove the Motor. If there is Hydraulic oil
in the Gearbox entrance then the seals are damaged. While it may be possible to
replace these seals on-site we strongly recommended that a replacement Gearbox
is fitted and an overhaul of the damaged Gearbox be carried out off-site.
- Grease escaping.
Check that the Track Adjuster Grease Valve is tight, has a properly fitted seal and
that there is no grease leaking past it.
Check around the Tensioning Cylinder for escaping grease. This will indicate that
the seals are damaged in the Tensioning Cylinder. Replace with a new Cylinder
immediately.

12.1 safety
Bogie safety
Please ensure all safety precautions and instructions are adhered to when installing,
operating and/or performing maintenance on the axle system.
Explosive seperation of tyre and rim parts can cause serious injury
or death
Protective equipment
Always wear protective clothing and footwear as required by job
conditions when working around this product.
Wear protective glasses when in risk of slintering debris.
Unauthorised modifications
It is important not to carry out modifications to the axle system
which could compromise proper operation and safety.
Powerscreen Intl Ltd are not responsible for any injury or damage
caused by unautorised modifications.
When traveling up a gradient, the tracks should be driven forward (i.e idlers first,
drive sprocket to the rear). When traveling down a gradient, tracks should be driven
sprocket first.
ALWAYS:-
Park the machine on flat, level ground. If necessary to park the machine on a
gradient, the tracks should be solidly blocked.
Ensure the terrain the machine is working on is firm enough to adequately support
the machine.
Ensure the machine is tracked at least 10m in either direction on a daily basis, to
minimize risk of track chain seizure.
Ensure the track systems are free from debris before moving the machine.
Ensure the tracks are not frozen to the ground before moving the machine.
NEVER:-
Attempt to track the machine if there is any build up of material around the tracks
and drive sprockets.
Attempt to track the machine if the tracks are frozen to the ground.
12.3 Undercarriage
Chieftain machinery can be moved one of two different ways depending on the type
of machine,
1 Bogie
2 Tracks
• The safety warning horn/siren sounds continuously whilst the plant is being
manoeuvred.
• Make sure that you do not manoeuvre the plant on a gradient steeper than 30
degrees (moving fore or aft), damage may occur to the engine and/or plant.
• Avoid manoeuvring the plant over extremely uneven ground or damage may
occur. Due to the limited ground clearance, avoid running over isolated objects
between the tracks.
• Initial start up in cold weather may result in a tendency to steer to the right
whilst tracking fast forward due to the hydraulic oil being cold. Run the plant for
approx. 10 minutes with the conveyor and feeder running prior to manoeuvring
the plant.

The doglead is only used to operate the tracks. It performs no other operation.
The remote control consists of a direct lead and a handset
NOTICE
To operate the machine via the Doglead, firstly retrieve the remote control unit.
Attach the remote control unit cable to the socket at the rear of the machine.
One option available on the tracked Chieftain is the radio controlled tracking,
As with all other standard track machines a doglead is also fitted, these
models are fitted with an automatic chaneover, thus no changeover switch will
be fitted.
In this case the start up procedure is the same as for a machine which is not
fitted with a radio tracking option. That is to simply connect doglead, start
engine position appropriate levers and than press the tracks on/off button on
the doglead to initiate tracking after the 7 secomd delay finishes.
If the machine stop (B) is pressed do not reset it until tracks and surrounding
area have been checked and it is safe to move the machine. When the
machine stop button has been pressed the engine will cut out and will need to
be started after reseting the machine stop button. The doglead machine stop
(B) can be reset by twisting it clockwise one quarter turn.
At this point the tracking safety siren should sound and the tracking beacon
should flash
6 Press the ‘tracks on/off button’ (A) on the doglead to the right, (According to
the pictures orientation) this is the track position
7 The machine can now be tracked using the control on the doglead as shown

!NOTICE!
To maximise the life of the track,
keep it movable and avoid damage,
the plant should be moved at least
every week, by a distance exceeding
four times the track length. It should
also be parked on level ground
overnight and during periods to
of non-usage. This is particularly
important when working in adverse
conditions.
It is essential that the tracks are
correctly tensioned at all times.
Check track tension regularly.
Moving the plant with incorrectly
tensioned tracks can cause severe
damage to the undercarriage
components and may invalidate the
warranty.
Re-check Tension
8. Operate the plant in track mode and
drive the plant 50 metres (50 yards)
forwards and 50 metres (50 yards)

If work is to be carried out close to overhead lines the working equipment must be kept well
away from them.
Unless otherwise stated the power supply to parts of machines and plants on which inspec-
tion, maintenance or repair work is to be carried out must be cut off.
Before starting any work around electrical components (after having cut off the power
supply), check the de-energized parts for the presence of power and any ground or short-
circuits. This is in addition to insulating live parts and elements.
If your machine comes into contact with a livewire:
- Warn others against approaching and touching the machine
- Ensure the live wire is de-energized
The electrical equipment of the machine is to be inspected and checked at regular intervals.
Defects such as loose connections or scorched or otherwise damaged cables must be

The air required to run the engine is inducted into the engine after passing through a
filtration system. As air passes into the breather system it is initially met by the first
filter known as the precleaner. This removes the heaviest of the dust,some of which
escapes through a vent at the bottom or at the back of the precleaner.
The air than passes through the outer filter which removes more dust and than final-
ly the air passes through the inner air filter. This filtration system removes virtually
all the dust being inducted into engine.
It is recommended that air cleaner elements are not cleaned or reused but
replaced with new items.
