• It is essential that personnel observe general and local safety, health and traffic
regulations.
• The equipment may only be used for the purpose described in these instructions.
• Locate the fire extinguisher(s) and ensure they are filled.
• Always use a helmet, hearing protection, seat belt (applies to rigs with cabs only)
and protective goggles when tramming, drilling and carrying out other work on
the rig. Observe local safety regulations.
• Always check the safety equipment and emergency stop after moving the rig and
also before the start of each shift.
• Engine exhaust gases are toxic. Good ventilation is essential when the engine is
running.
• Switch off the engine before refueling. Do not handle flammable liquids near hot
surfaces, sparks or a naked flame.
• The drill rig must only be used, maintained and repaired by personnel well con-
versant with the equipment and the dangers involved.
• Never carry out service or maintenance work while the drill rig is running.
• Checks and adjustments that need to be made while the rig is running must be
performed by the two people. One person must then be in the operating position
and have a good overview of the work being carried out and be able to reach an
emergency stop easily.
• Only step on designated areas when servicing the drill rig. Never stand on open
service hatches.
• Ensure that pneumatic, water and hydraulic systems are depressurized before
starting any maintenance work on the system.
• To prevent injury during service and maintenance work, components that could
move or fall down must be securely supported or strapped in place.
• Do not use any equipment if a fault is indicated by the system, call for service
personnel.

5
3 Safety regulations

• Observe the drill rig warning signals whenever you are in the vicinity of the drill
rig.
• Before starting to use the drill rig, make sure there is nobody inside the risk area
of the drill rig, that the drill rig has been maintained in accordance with the main-
tenance schedule in force, that all control levers, emergency stops and fire extin-
guishers are working satisfactorily, that warning signs and safety labels are in
place, clean and fully legible. Report any damage and defects immediately. Do
not operate the system before all the faults have been rectified.
• All work performed with the drill rig involves impact on the surrounding envi-
ronment, e.g. in the form of vibrations and landslide. Work must always be car-
ried out with great caution and in accordance with safety regulations in force.
• When replacing hydraulic hoses, make sure the new ones are fitted with crimped
couplings, are in the right quality category and are the correct dimension.
• When handling drill bits and drill steel on the rig the rotation must be off. Rock
drill rotation must not be used during manual handling of bits and rods.
• All doors must be closed during operation so that they do not disrupt the flow of
cooling air or reduce noise suppression. A door may only be kept open for a short
period of time, e.g. for inspection or adjustment.
• On rigs equipped with an exhaust cleaning unit, the exhaust gases have a very
high temperature. Observe extra caution due to the risk of personal injury and
fire.

3.2 Special safety regulations during mainte-

nance work
Normally the engine must be switched off and the main switch must be off during
service and maintenance work on the rig.

• Parts of the rig, e.g. engine and compressor, may become very hot. Make sure
that they have cooled to room temperature before carrying out service and main-
tenance work.
When the engine has to be running to enable the work to be performed, the following
special safety requirements apply:

• The work must be performed by at least two people.

• One person must then be assigned to monitor the work. The monitoring person
must be located at the operator's station and have immediate access to an emer-
gency stop.
• The working area must be well illuminated.

6
 3 Safety regulations

• Communication between the two individuals must take place in a rapid and reli-
able manner.
• Observe the strictest cleanliness during maintenance and repair work.

3.3 Special safety regulations for the compres-

sor
• If there is any indication or suspicion that an internal part of the compressor is
overheated then the rig must be stopped, but do not open any inspection hatches
until sufficient cooling time has elapsed. This is to avoid spontaneous combus-
tion of oil mist when oxygen is added.
• Make sure that safety valves and other overpressure devices are not damaged.
Avoid clogging with paint, carbonized oil or other dirt which could disrupt com-
pressor function.
• Pressure and control gauges must be checked regularly with regard to their accu-
racy. They must be replaced when the permitted tolerances are exceeded.
• The safety devices must be tested in accordance with the description in the main-
tenance manual in order to ensure that they are in good condition.
• When operating in a dusty environment, position the rig so that dust is not blow-
ing against it.
• Close the compressor's air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a
hose. Make sure that the hose is fully vented before disconnection. Before blow-
ing compressed air through a hose or air line, make sure that the open end is
being held steady. Impact from a loose end could cause damage.
• Do not use any external force on the air outlet valves, e.g. by pulling hoses or
installing auxiliary equipment directly onto a valve, e.g. a water separator or a
lubricating device etc.
• Distribution lines and air hoses must be the correct dimension and be suitable for
the working pressure. Never use broken, damaged or worn hoses. Only use hose
couplings and clamps that are the correct type.
• Before removing the oil filler plug, make sure that the pressure is released by
opening an air outlet valve.

3.4 Pressure vessel

• Observe local regulations regarding re-inspection.
• Vessel walls subject to pressure must not be exposed to welding or heat treat-
ment.

7
3 Safety regulations

• The vessel is equipped with, and must only be used with the required safety
equipment, such as pressure gauges, overpressure control devices, safety valves
etc.
• Installation, design and connections must not be changed.

3.5 Intended use

The drill rig is only designed for drilling in surface applications, e.g. stone quarries
and construction sites. All other use shall be considered as undesignated and forbid-
den.

Examples of undesignated and forbidden use:

• Lifting and transporting goods

Special measures must be taken in cases where one or more of the above criteria
must be fulfilled in order to conduct troubleshooting or complete a certain task:

• The work must be carried out by at least two people, one of which must be at the
operating station and have a good view of the work.

4.3.3 General risks with hydraulic systems

A drill rig has many components and implementations that are controlled by a
hydraulic system, either directly or indirectly. Before working with or inspecting any
part, it is important that operators have a good knowledge of how components move
and are controlled by the hydraulic system.

Before working on or inspecting any component, it must be physically prevented

from moving in a way that could cause injury to operators in the vicinity or damage
to property. The operator must ensure that no part of his/her body is in a position

13
4 Risk area of the rig

where component’s movement could cause injury if the component is not physically
prevented from moving in the event that the hydraulic system should fail, be disen-
gaged or receive a control signal that results in movement.

Attention must also be drawn to the possibility of situations where component or

vehicle movement could react to the release of potential energy. Wherever appropri-
ate there must be confirmation that all measures have been taken to ensure that all
sources of potential energy have been relieved and/or that movement has been phys-
ically prevented.

It is also the responsibility of those involved to ensure that all applicable safety regu-
lations have been, and are being observed both before and during any work or
inspection is carried out.

models with installed power higher than 200 kW. Located on the right or left-hand
side, depending on the optional equipment in the rig.

Note
The variant of the fire extinguisher that is supplied depends on the different
national regulations. It is therefore essential to follow the instructions on the fire
extinguisher.
The fire extinguishers supplied with the drill rig should be considered as “Delivery
fire extinguishers”. If the fire extinguishers are not approved by local stipulations,
they must be replaced with locally approved ones.

10.1 Safety
The cab on the rig is FOPS “Falling Object Protective Structure” and ROPS “Roll
Over Protection Structure” certified and also complies with the following standards:

• ISO Standard 3449:2005

• ISO Standard 3471:2008,
Unauthorized modifications to the cab will mean it no longer fulfills the FOPS and
ROPS safety requirements. The roof grille is part of the FOPS system and must
therefore not be modified.

The safety belt must be used for ROPS to be valid.

CAUTION
• The gradient meter shows the chassis frame
angle and not the actual ground incline.

Figure 11 Drill rig spirit level

The drill rig spirit level indicates the angle at which the drill rig is standing. The drill
rig can tip over if the specified tilt angles for the drill rig are exceeded. The tilt
angles are described in the operator's manual.

11.2 Repositioning

11.2.1 Rigs with telescopic boom

General tramming
Direct the boom system straight ahead before opening the track oscillation lock.

It’s very important to retract the telescopic boom back into the outer boom.

While tramming, the track oscillation lock must be open so that the caterpillar tracks
can move freely whenever there is a change in terrain. Use track oscillation to keep
the chassis frame as horizontal as possible.

Adapt the speed to the terrain. Always check the terrain where the drill rig will be
maneuvered.
