INTRODUCTION
Diesel Engine
The diesel engine is a Cummins QST 30 fully electronic unit rated 1000 HP at
1800 rpm. It is equipped with a 175 ampere alternator. An 800 US Gallon (3028
liter) fuel tank capacity allows for 24 hour operation between fills. The drill incor-
porates separate oversized air inlet filters for both the compressor and engine.
Large engine oil capacity, in conjunction with engine monitoring, promotes
extended service intervals. Air intake heaters are available as an option for cold
starting. An engine/compressor prelube system ensures that critical components
are lubricated prior to startup.
Air Compressor
A Gardner Denver SSY9 oil flooded screw compressor rated at 2500 cfm @ 65 psi is
standard. An optional 3000 cfm compressor unit is available. Both compressors
feature Gardner Denvers' patented Turn Valve Control for reducing cfm and
horsepower requirements, thus reducing operating costs.
y
op
Undercarriage
The undercarriage has 200HP per side two-speed propel motor/transmission units
C
with counter-rotation capability. Propel parking brakes are integral. The drill is
capable of speeds up to 1.9 mph (3.06 km/h). Gradeability is 74.5% with the mast
d
down and 64.5% with the mast up. The rear axle is stationary and the front axle is
provided with an oscillating-type beam used to reduce twisting loads on the main
lle
frame.
Rotary Carriage
tro
The pulldown mechanism is a rack and pinion drive which maintains continuous
bit loading. The rotary carriage guide rollers have a polymer coating for long life
on
and are mounted on eccentrics for backlash adjustment and alignment within the
mast. Dual two-speed hydraulic motors (low-speed/high torque or high-speed/low
torque) drive the hoist/pulldown gearcase. Feed and retract rate is 125 fpm (38.1
nc
m/pm).
A rotary gearcase lubrication pump and three valves which control hoist/pulldown
U
motor speeds and hoist brake release are mounted on top of the rotary gearcase.
The hoist brakes are integral within the hoist/pulldown motors. They are spring-
set, hydraulically released so the rotary carriage is locked in place in the event of
hydraulic system pressure failure. These brakes are parking brakes only.
The dual hydrostatic rotary motors provide up to 12,000 ft-lbs of rotary torque.
PLC interlocks between pipe-handling and rotary carriage functions prevent acci-
dental damage.

INTRODUCTION
Pipe Handling (DL Model)
A pipe carousel with capacity for 5 drill pipes 40' long and up to 10.75-inch diame-
ter allowing for 240-foot hole depth is standard. An optional carousel with capacity
for 6 pipes of 40’ length and up to 9.625" diameter for 280-foot hole depth is
optional. The on-board PLC monitors carousel position. The carousel is mounted
within the mast structure and is swung into the loading or unloading position at
the centerline of the drill string by two hydraulic cylinders at the top of the carou-
sel. The next pipe section is then rotated into alignment with the drill string by a
hydraulic motor and gear arrangement at the bottom of the carousel. When the
drill pipe is properly aligned, a hydraulically actuated pin locks the carousel in
position. Different pipe diameters are accommodated by means of carousel liners
which fit the openings, allowing for smaller pipe sizes.
Pipe Handling (ST Model)
The standard ST drill is capable of having a 65 foot drill string attached to the
y
rotary carriage with the ability to raise or lower the mast with the rotary carriage
op
at the top of the mast. Either one or two single pipe pipe-racks are available as
options.
C
Mast and Back Braces
d
The mast chords utilize structural steel members. The mast safety sling ensures
retention of a falling pipe without structural damage to the mast. An optional
lle
mast ladder is equipped with SAFE-T (TM) climb for safety when inspecting the
mast.
tro
The mast is raised and lowered by two hydraulic cylinders and is locked in the ver-
tical position by hydraulically actuated mast lock pins. The position of these pins
is monitored by the PLC.
on
The back braces extend and fold automatically when the mast is raised and low-
ered. They are locked at the various drilling angles by hydraulically operated cyl-
nc
inder/pin arrangements. A sliding back brace collar locks the mast back braces to
hold the mast in position.
U
The mast (ST and DL Models) can be raised and lowered with full carousel or pipe
racks, a drill pipe in the rotary carriage and the rotary carriage in the raised posi-
tion. This allows for quick movement from location to location.
Winch
A hydraulic motor driven winch is mounted on the lower portion of the mast to
handle tools and lift loads on the drilling platform. The winch has a 10,000 lb. lift-
ing capacity. Winch wire rope feeds through guide sheaves mounted on a support
bar on the top of the mast. Winch controls are proportional and are located in the
operators cab. An optional remote pendant control allows operation from outside
the operators cab.

Model 250XP-2-OM
Pipe Wrenches
The Model DL is usually equipped with opposing hydraulic ram type deck
wrenches to secure the drill string while adding or removing drill pipe. The Model
ST is usually equipped with a slide wrench.
Operators Controls
Controls are located in functional groupings with frequently used controls located
more closely to the operator. See Section 2 for full details.
Main Hydraulic System
The main hydraulic system consists of two pumps and associated filters, valves,
and components which combine to supply hydraulic power to the propel and drill-
ing systems. The main pumps are flange mounted on the pump drive transmission
(PDT) at the rear of the diesel engine.
y
op
Auxiliary Hydraulic System
The auxiliary hydraulic system supplies pressurized oil to operate the leveling
C
jacks, pipe carousel, breakout wrench, mast hoist and anchor pin cylinders, back-
brace cylinders, wrench cylinders, winch, and the dust curtain cylinders. The sys-
d
tem also supplies hydraulic power to operate the backbrace tilt lock for angle
drilling and the pipe positioner motions.
lle
Dust Abatement Systems
tro
Two dust abatement systems are available. A water injection system is standard,
while a dry dust system is available as an option.
on
The water injection system controls drilling dust by injecting controlled quantities
of water into the drill hole. The water is entrained in the bailing air stream and is
supplied from an 800 gallon tank in the main frame.
nc
The dry dust system "vacuums" the drilling dust and debris and dumps it into a
U
container for later disposal.
Automatic Lubrication System
The automatic grease system is powered by a hydraulically driven pump con-

trolled by a PLC-based timing and control unit. The system delivers grease from
an onboard tank to injectors, which lubricate preselected points around the drill at
regular intervals. The operator can manually initiate a grease cycle from the PLC
when required.
Towing System
The drill can be towed. The final drive is designed to allow the propel brakes to be
released and the propel motors to be disengaged while towing the drill.

INTRODUCTION
Pipe Positioner(s) (Option)
Pipe positioners can be mounted on the mast. The bottom positioner consists of a
hydraulically operated swing arm and pipe clamp that supports the lower portion
of the drill pipe when a pipe is being added or removed during angle drilling. It
also helps to prevent excessive pipe bowing during drilling operations. An upper
pipe positioner is available as an option.
Hydraulically-Operated Dust Curtains (Option)
Dust curtains surround the drilling platform to contain the dust and chips created
by drilling. The optional hydraulically-operated rear dust curtains are operated
from the operators cab. Along the sides of the drill the curtains are fixed.
Serial Number Location
y
The drill serial number is located inside the operators cab.
op
SIGN MAINTENANCE
C
Signs of various types are located wherever required on the drill to warn personnel
of potential hazards, identify controls and components, and to provide useful infor-
d
mation.
lle
Because these signs aid in the safe and efficient operation of the drill, inspection of
all signs must be a part of the inspection program.
tro
If signs are dirty, missing, or illegible, clean or replace them.

TERMINOLOGY
lle
Certain commonly used drill terms are defined below.
tro
AIR SYSTEM (BIT OR MAIN). The sole function of the main air system is to sup-
ply a large volume of compressed air to the drill bit for cooling and to blow debris
out of the drill hole.
on
AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. The auxiliary hydraulic system supplies

pressure and controls to operate most of the open loop hydraulically operated
nc
equipment, including the leveling jacks, pipe racks or carousel, breakout or slide
wrench, deck hatch, mast hoist cylinders, anchor pin cylinders, deck wrench cylin-
ders, winch, back brace locks, and the optional hydraulically operated dust cur-
U
tain. The system also supplies hydraulic power to operate the backbrace tilt locks
for angle hole drilling and the optional upper and lower pipe positioners.
AUTOMATIC GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEM. This system consists of a

hydraulic oil pump which supplies pressurized oil to operate a grease pump. The
grease pump supplies all of the automatic grease lubrication points on the drill.
BACK BRACES. The back braces are jointed tubular steel supports which support
the mast in the selected drilling position.
BACK BRACE COLLARS. The back brace collars slide over the back brace knee
joints to prevent the back braces from folding when the mast is in the raised posi-
tion.
BREAKOUT WRENCH. The breakout wrench is a hydraulically operated pipe

wrench used to loosen pipe joints. It is mounted on the lower portion of the mast.

SECTION 1 - 10 - Sec01.fm
INTRODUCTION
CAROUSEL (DL MODEL). The rotary carousel holds up to six drill pipes. The car-
ousel is mounted within the mast and is swung into the loading or unloading posi-
tion in line with the drill string. It is then rotated by a hydraulic motor and gear
drive to align the selected drill pipe with the drill string.
COLLARING. Collaring is the procedure used to pilot a new drill hole. The pilot
hole helps to center the drill string and minimizes material break-out and fall-in.
CRAWLER TRACK. The crawler track is an assembly of crawler shoes and link
pins which provides a continuous path on which the drill is propelled.
DECK WRENCHES. Deck wrenches are mounted on the deck of ST Model drills
on opposite sides of the deck bushing. They are optional for the DL Model. They
consist of a pair of opposed hydraulic rams that extend to grip and support drill
pipe while adding or removing drill bits, stabilizers, or an additional section of
drill pipe.
y
DRILL BIT. The drill bit is a rotated tool used to penetrate rock formations. It is
driven by drill pipe(s) in the drill string via the rotary carriage.
op
DRILL PIPE. Drill pipe is a section of steel pipe, threaded male on one end and
female on the other, on which the drill bit, stabilizer, or another drill pipe is
C
mounted. d
DRILL STRING. The drill pipe, stabilizer, drill bit and other components comprise
the drill string.
lle
DRY DUST CONTROL SYSTEM. An optional dry dust control system is designed
to suck dust and small debris from inside the dust curtain area into a hopper
tro
which is dumped away from the drilling area.
DUST CURTAIN. A standard fixed dust curtain encloses the area around the drill
on
string immediately below the drilling platform. It restricts the travel of flying rock
chips and dust which result from drilling. A hydraulically operated section of dust
curtain is available as an option. When raised, it provides better visibility when
nc
relocating the drill.
FRONT/REAR. The front of the drill is the end opposite the operators cab. The
U
rear of the drill is the operators cab end.
HOIST/PULLDOWN SYSTEM. The hoist/pulldown system consists of two

hydraulic motors coupled to pinions which engage two racks on the mast. The
motors are reversible and are used to apply downward force on the drill bit or to
hoist the rotary carriage and drill string.
HOIST BRAKES. The hoist brakes are integral with the two hoist/pulldown
motors. They are used to stop and hold vertical movement of the rotary carriage.
JACK PADS. Jack pads are metal plates attached to the lower end of leveling
jacks. The jack pads provide a large surface area on which the leveling jack can
bear.
LEVELING SYSTEM. Four leveling jacks are located at the four corners of the
main frame. They are controlled from the operators cab or the optional remote pro-

Model 250XP-2-OM
pel controller. The two rear jacks (closest to the operators cab) are independently
adjustable. The two front jacks operate as a self-equalizing pair.
The optional auto-leveling system, when activated, automatically raises the drill
to the lowest possible level operating plane.
LOW PRESSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. The low pressure hydraulic system

consists of a deck mounted DC electric motor driven pump which supplies hydrau-
lic pressure to three open loop circuits and the low torque start-up circuit on the
air compressor. The lube pump is supplied by the main closed loop charge pump.
The deck hatch cylinders are supplied by the auxiliary pump on the pump drive
transmission (PDT).
MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. The main hydraulic system propels the drill and
powers the rotary carriage. It consists of two closed-loop hydrostatic pumping sys-
tems with hydraulic motors, filters, strainers, and propel motion controls. The sys-
tem also provides pressure to release the propel parking brakes, the hoist brake,
y
and to operate the lube pump and the rotary, hoist, and propel speed controls.
op
MAST. The mast is a welded structural steel assembly that supports and guides
the rotary carriage. The pipe racks or carousel, winch, breakout wrench, and pipe
positioners are also secured to and supported by the mast. The mast is raised or
C
lowered by two hydraulic cylinders.
MAST ANCHOR PINS. The mast anchor pins are hydraulic cylinder-operated
d
locking pins used to secure the mast in the vertical position. They are located on
lle
the frame beneath the drilling deck.
MAST CROWN. The mast crown is located at the top of the mast. It ties the mast
tro
legs together and supports the winch sheaves.
MAST RAISING CYLINDERS. These two cylinders are deck mounted and are
on
used to raise and lower the mast.
MAST PIVOT PINS. The mast pivot pins are the pins about which the mast
nc
rotates when it is being raised or lowered.
OPERATORS CAB. The operators cab contains the operating controls, indicators,
U
gauges and the Graphical Users Interface (GUI). All drill operations are controlled
from the operators cab.
PIPE POSITIONER. Both the optional upper and lower pipe positioners are
attached to the mast assembly. They consist of a hydraulically-operated swing arm
and pipe clamp loop which support drill pipe when sections are being added or
removed during angle drilling.
PIPE RACK (ST Models). Each pipe rack is located within the mast and stores a
single string of drill pipe. A second (optional) pipe rack is available.
PIPE SLING. The pipe sling is a permanent frame mounted part way up the mast
to restrain pipe sections from falling if one should become uncoupled from the
rotary carriage, pipe rack, or carousel.

INTRODUCTION
POWER UNIT. The hydraulic pump drive transmission (PDT) and the air com-
pressor are mounted on opposite ends of the diesel engine, on a common sub-base.
The engine provides the power to drive all of the drill functions. For purposes of
this manual, the power unit is defined as the engine and the PDT. The air com-
pressor is not considered to be part of the power unit.
PROPEL BRAKES. Each crawler drive has a spring-set/hydraulically released

parking brake integral with the propel motor. When the parking brake pushbutton
in the operator’s cab is in the released position, the brakes will automatically
release when hydraulic pressure is applied to the motor.
PROPEL SYSTEM. The drill is mounted on and propelled by individually powered

and controlled crawlers. The rear axle is stationary and is bolted rigidly to the
main frame. A floating equalizer axle at the front enables the crawlers to maintain
footing over rough terrain.
Steering is accomplished by individual control of the speed of the left and right
y
crawlers.
op
PROPEL DIRECTION. The drill is propelled forward when the drilling platform
and operators cab trail the drill in the direction of travel. The drill is propelled to
the rear when the drilling platform and operators cab lead in the direction of
C
travel. d
PULLDOWN. Pulldown is the downward force applied to the rotary bit by the
hoist/pulldown motors while drilling.
lle
PUMP DRIVE TRANSMISSION (PDT). All of the pumps that power the main and
auxiliary hydraulic systems are mounted on and driven by the PDT. The PDT is a
tro
gear reducer having multiple output shafts, all driven from a common diesel
engine input shaft. Each hydraulic pump is flange mounted and direct coupled to a
PDT output drive shaft.
on
ROTARY CARRIAGE. The rotary carriage provides rotary and vertical motion to
the drill string.
nc
Two reversible hydraulic pumps drive a rotary gear reducer to impart bidirec-
tional rotary motion to the drill string.
U
Two reversible hoist/pulldown motors provide vertical motion to lift or lower the
drill string. Hoist brakes are an integral part of each hoist/pulldown motor.
SINGLE PASS DRILLING. Single pass drilling is the process of drilling a blast-
hole to a depth no greater than the distance the rotary carriage can travel from top
to bottom of the mast, using a single length of drill string. The drill string does not
have to be removed from the drill while traveling to the next drill hole location.
SLIDE WRENCH. The slide wrench replaces deck wrenches on most DL Model
drills. The one piece wrench, operated by a hydraulic cylinder, moves in or out to
engage or disengage slots on the lower of the two drill pipes which meet at the drill
deck. When engaged, it supports and prevents the rotation of the lower drill pipe
while adding pipe or breaking pipe joints.

Model 250XP-2-OM
WATER INJECTION SYSTEM (OPTION). The water injection system supplies an

adjustable flow of water into the bailing air stream to control dust created by drill-
ing.
WINCH. A mast mounted winch is provided for tool handling on the drilling plat-
form. The winch wire rope feeds upward, passes over two guide sheaves mounted
on the mast crown and back down to the drilling platform.
OPERATING CONTROL AND SWITCH SYMBOLS
Figures 1-5 and 1-6 provide explanations of the symbols used to explain the func-
tions of the various controls in the operators cab. Refer to these illustrations if you
are unsure of the meaning of a symbol.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
SECTION 2
GENERAL
This section identifies and describes the standard drill controls and most of the
optional drill controls. Before attempting to operate this drill, study this manual
and become thoroughly familiar with the location and purpose of each control.
NOTICE
Describing an optional control does not mean that it is provided on a par-
y
ticular drill.

OPERATOR CAB CONTROLS
General
C
d
lle
Figure 2-1 illustrates the standard arrangement of the operator cab controls. The
controls are grouped on six control panels and include a Graphic User Interface
(GUI). The GUI is designed to display the information collected and processed by
tro
the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
The control panels may vary slightly from drill to drill due to optional features.
on
Therefore, the operator should carefully compare the specific drill being operated
with the control panel illustrations, with the understanding that minor differences
may exist.
nc
All faults indicated on the GUI are accompanied by an audible “beep” type alarm.
Some faults are minor and will allow the operator to continue drill operation until
U
a more convenient time for fault correction. Some of the more significant faults
automatically shut the drill down or stop certain functions, either immediately or
within 30 seconds of fault detection. For more information, see the topic
“GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE (GUI)” on Page 2-18.

This panel includes the following controls (see Figure 2-2).
1. ENGINE TACHOMETER. This tachometer displays engine speed in rpm x

100.
2. ENGINE DISPLAY CLUSTER. This cluster displays four items, beginning at

the lower left indicator:
A. Engine fuel level

B. Engine oil pressure in psi
C. Engine temperature
D. Engine alternator voltage
3. HOURMETER. This meter displays total machine operating hours.
4. ENGINE FLUID/ENGINE WAIT DISPLAY. The engine protection system will

illuminate the top FLUID lamp when an abnormal engine fuel condition
occurs. When this occurs, a fault code will be recorded. The lamp will remain
on (flashing) as long as the fault continues to occur. The engine power or speed
will be gradually reduced. If the engine protection shutdown feature is
enabled, the engine will shut down to prevent engine damage. When the bot-
tom (engine wait) display is lit, the engine intake air heaters have not warmed
up enough that air entering the intake manifolds is at the correct temperature
to facilitate engine starting. Wait until the display is lit before attempting to
start the engine. A table of fault codes is located at the end of Section 2.
y
op
5. ENGINE WARNING/ENGINE STOP DISPLAY. When the ENGINE WARN-
ING display illuminates, the operator must immediately check all engine indi-
cators to determine which engine operating parameter is becoming abnormal.
C

illuminates, the operator must immediately stop the engine to prevent damage
to the engine.
d
lle
6. ENGINE FAULT CODE DISPLAY. When one or more engine faults are
detected by the engine protection system, this increment/decrement type dis-
play will identify the faults detected. Each fault is identified by a three digit
tro
number which is conveyed by a series of blinks. To check for multiple faults,

the operator depresses switch (6), incrementing up or down. At each detent
that indicates a fault, the display will transmit a fault code by blinking a three
on
digit series of numbers, which correspond to a specific fault.

dust curtain and to the DOWN position to lower the dust curtain. This is a 3-
position momentary UP - OFF - DOWN switch.
y
3. PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. Depress this switch to the SET position to apply
propel parking brakes. Depress this switch to the RELEASE position to enable
op
release of the propel brakes and thus enable drill travel. This is a 2-position
ON-OFF switch. When the drill is in the PROPEL mode and the brake is
released, the back-up alarm will sound.
NOTICE
C
d
lle
The parking brake switch does not automatically release the brakes.
Instead it enables the Propel Joystick so that joystick movement releases
the propel brake.
tro
4. PROPEL SPEED SWITCH. This switch is used to select either the fast-speed/
low torque (HIGH) or slow-speed/high torque (LOW) speed range. Select the
on
desired range in accordance with propelling conditions. This is a 2-position

HIGH-LOW switch.
nc
5. MAINTENANCE SWITCH. This switch is placed in the ON position when the

drill is to be operated to perform maintenance on the crawler system. Typical
usage would be when the drill is lifted onto the jacks so the tracks can be
U
cleaned or inspected. After portions of the track have been cleaned, it may be
necessary to operate the tracks, without propelling the drill, to obtain access to
the remainder of the tracks for cleaning or inspection. This is a 2-position ON -
OFF switch.
6. REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH (OPTION). Depress this switch to the

REMOTE position to enable remote control of drill propel and auto-level.
Depress this switch to the OFF position during normal manual control of the
drill. This is a 2-position ON - OFF switch.
7. PROPEL CONTROLLER. This joystick is used to control the speed and direc-
tion of drill travel. With the MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (11, Figure 2-7) in
the PROPEL position and the propel brake released, moving the joystick
straight forward or backward will cause the drill to move straight forward or
backward. The speed at which the drill will move is determined by the amount
of controller movement from the centered, neutral position. Moving the joy-

Model 250XP-2-OM
stick left or right from the neutral position will cause the drill to turn in that
direction. The sharpness of the turn is determined by the amount of movement
of the joystick.

GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE (GUI)
Description
The Graphic User Interface (GUI) is a “touch screen” digital monitor that displays
information gathered and processed by the PLC. It is used both to monitor drill
operating parameters and to change them when necessary.
When the drill is started, the GUI will automatically turn on and the MAIN PAGE
(Figure 2-8) will be displayed.
If the GUI displays the message “Run/Program Key Switch in

program fault”, all limits are disabled and the drill should be run
with caution until limits are enabled.
y
When the GUI first boots up, any existing faults will appear on the fault pop-up
op
screen. If the fault is displayed in green, it has been cleared. If the fault is dis-
played in red, it is active. The next occurring fault will start at the top of the
screen. A communications fault will always come up from a cold start (when the
C
engine is started by turning the key switch from off to on).

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
SECTION 3
GENERAL
Before starting the drill, it is imperative that the operator be fully aware of current
operating conditions, including the area surrounding the drill, the condition of the
drill itself, the whereabouts of personnel working on or around the drill, and all
other factors which might affect safe operation of the drill and other equipment in
the area.
The following suggested inspection procedure provides the operator with an overall
y
idea of the types of hazards to be looked for and a systematic approach to the inspec-
tion to prevent inadvertent omission of critical inspection items. However, no proce-
op
dure of this type can possibly anticipate all of the hazards involved with the
operation of heavy equipment, many of which are specific to a particular workplace.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the operator to inspect for additional hazards
C
not mentioned in the following basic procedure, and to take appropriate measures to
prevent them from causing accidents. d
The inspection procedure should be divided into three steps, as described below.
lle
tro
GROUND AREA INSPECTION
PERSONNEL. Be particularly aware of the presence of all personnel working on or

on
around the drill and to inform them and obtain their acknowledgment before the
drill is started, operated, or moved. The safety of people is an operator’s first con-
cern.
nc
OBSTRUCTIONS. Inspect the area around the drill for obstructions, including vehi-
cles parked in work or travel areas, ditches, holes, large rocks, stored materials,
U
overhangs, banks, and all other items specific to a particular workplace.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS. Inspect the area for potential electrical hazards. Electri-
cal hazards include power lines (overhead, surface, or underground), and trail cables
of other equipment.
GROUND AREA BENEATH DRILL. Inspect the ground area beneath the drill for
excessive fluid leaks and any other sign of leakage or damage to fluid systems.
GRADE ANGLES. Inspect the drill pattern and anticipated travel paths to ensure
that the grade angle is within safe travel limits and that tipping hazards are elimi-
nated. Tipping hazards include obstructions that could tilt the drill beyond the tilt
grade.
BANK HAZARDS. Inspect the condition of the highwall top when drilling in close
proximity to the highwall crest. Inspect the bank for loose materials that could dis-

Model 250XP-2-OM
lodge when drilling near the base of the bank, and be sure that ground conditions
do not pose a hazard before operating the drill.
VISIBILITY. During night operations or when visibility is poor, be sure sufficient

lighting is available to ensure safe operation. Be sure that operator visibility is not
obscured in the work area.
ON-GROUND DRILL INSPECTION
While still standing on the ground, inspect the drill for the following conditions.
Check all leveling jacks and pads to verify that they are not damaged.
Check radiator and coolers for excessive dirt build-up in and around the cooler fin
area.
y
Inspect the equalizer axle assembly for loose or missing pins, keepers, or damage.
Inspect the track mechanism for correct track tension, damage to pads or other
op
components, cleanliness of drive sprockets and idler wheels, the presence and con-
dition of track pins and keepers, and proper lubrication.
C
Check the condition of the dust curtain and optional curtain cylinders and hoses
and the boarding stairs, ladder, and grab rails for broken or missing parts.
d
Check the bit view light for a clean lens and proper operation.
lle
Check the red emergency stop push-button on the right side of the main frame to
see that it is pulled into the OUT position (in all non-emergency situations).
tro
Visually observe the optional dry dust abatement system to see that the dropout
hose is securely clamped to the dropout cone, that the suction hoses are free from
on
dust or mud buildup, and that there is no obvious physical damage to the unit.
Check the remote fill station for a buildup of dirt in the enclosure. Clean the enclo-
nc
sure and the fill point dust caps to prevent contaminating the fluids at the next
fill.
U
Check the bit view doors near the dust curtains for mechanical damage.
Check moving machinery guards to see that they are installed.
Periodically inspect the drill for worn cables or hoses, loose fasteners and worn or
damaged components.
See that the drill is lubricated and serviced as recommended in the Maintenance
Manual.

ON-DRILL INSPECTIONS
MACHINERY DECK. Climb to the machinery deck of the drill and inspect the
area outside the operator cab for the following conditions.
Check the T-Tank (air/oil separator tank) for damage or leaks and check the sepa-
rator oil level.
Verify that the optional on-board fire extinguisher pull station is not damaged.
Check the portable fire extinguisher for a current inspection tag punch, pin and
pin seal, and proper pressure indication.
Check the level of the grease tank. Be sure that the hydraulic oil level matches the
level gauge for the appropriate machine configuration. Check all fluid levels.
Check all signs and labels for damage, cleanliness, and visibility (not obscured).
y
Observe that the winch, rope, and associated equipment are in operating order.
op
Inspect the mast, backbraces, hoist cylinder pins and associated machinery for
excessive accumulations of dirt or grease, loose or missing components, damaged
or leaking air, grease, or hydraulic lines to the rotary carriage, broken or missing
C
grease lines or injectors, and for proper fall-protection devices.
Inspect for adequate lighting (including burned out bulbs), damage to equipment,
d
piping or hoses, excessive grease, air or oil leaks, and overall housekeeping. Be
sure all guards and covers are in place.
lle
Check the pump drive transmission oil level using the dipstick provided.
tro
Verify that the Emergency Stop push-button adjacent to the engine is pulled out
(in all non-emergency situations).
on
Again check radiator and coolers for excessive dirt buildup in and around the
cooler fin area.
nc
Check engine oil and coolant levels, and add oil or coolant if necessary.
OPERATOR CAB. Enter the operator cab and verify that all controls are in the
U
neutral or start-up position, lights and fixtures are not damaged, controls are not
damaged, and that the optional fire suppression station is operable. Check for
overall housekeeping and cleanliness, and that windows are clean and undam-
aged. Verify that the emergency stop push-button is pulled out (in all non-emer-
gency situations).
DRILL PLATFORM AREA. Inspect for cleanliness and housekeeping, broken,

missing, or damaged grease lines and injectors, for damage to pipe racks, breakout
wrench, deck or slide wrench, or rotary carriage. Check for proper placement and
condition of air, grease, and hydraulic lines to the rotary carriage.
All safety devices, such as fire suppression, emergency stops, and guards must be
repaired before operating the drill. If conditions are found which could hamper the
safe operation of the drill, lock out equipment as required, and report the condi-
tions to the proper authority.

Model 250XP-2-OM
Open the hydraulic control cabinet and check for oil leaks or damaged components.
Inspect the remote PLC rack for any problems.
Inspect the control cabinet enclosure to see that the door, hinges and latch are in
working order.
Inspect engine and compressor air filter housing air tubes for signs of damage or
loose connections or hardware.

BLASTHOLE DRILL OPERATION
GENERAL
This section provides operating procedures for both the DL and ST Models of the
250XP drill. Due to widely varying conditions at individual job-sites, the proce-
dures are subject to variation.
Each procedure is written as an individual operation. As operators become famil-

iar with their drill, the procedures can be combined into a smooth-flowing opera-
tion.
Before operating the drill, all operators should read and understand this manual.
y
op
START-UP
C
To start the drill, proceed as follows:
d
lle
Rotating machinery can cause injury or death. Before starting
the drill be sure all personnel are clear of the drill mast, moving
machinery, rotating shafts and drilling deck.
tro
1. Be sure that the pre-start inspection (Section 3) has been performed.

on
2. Set all controls to their neutral or non-activated position. Be sure the EMERGENCY
STOP push-button (01, Figure 4-2) is pulled out. However, if the last previous stop was an
emergency stop, do not pull the emergency stop push-button out until it is known that it is
nc
safe to do so.
3. Make sure the GUI is on and running. Then, place ENGINE KEY SWITCH (09, Figure 4-
U
1) in the “C” (ON) position.
4. Check the GUI for fault indications. Press the GUI FAULT RESET switch (10, Figure 4-

all drilling functions will be inoperative while the ENGINE SPEED RANGE switch is in
the LOW speed range.
6. Turn the ENGINE START key switch (09, Figure 4-1) clockwise to the “D” START posi-
tion and hold it there while prelubrication takes place and until the engine starts. Then,
release the switch and let the engine warm up.
NOTICE
Before the engine will crank, engine prelubrication must take place.
y
Depending on how long it has been since the engine was last started, pre-
lubrication may take anywhere from 5 to 50 seconds. When prelube is
op
completed, the prelube pump will stop and the engine will begin to crank.
C
Do not crank the engine more than 30 seconds. If the engine does
d
not start after 30 seconds of cranking, release the start key
switch and wait for at least one full minute before making a sec-
lle
ond attempt to start the engine. If the engine will not start on the
second attempt (limited to 30 seconds of cranking) call your
tro
maintenance department before attempting another engine

start.

NOTICE
Air system operating pressure depends on customer preference. It can
U
range from 35 to 65 psi (2.4 to 4.4 bar). The system is protected by a

safety relief valve set at 130 psi (8.97 bar).
SHUTDOWN
The following two paragraphs describe both a normal shutdown and shutdown
under emergency conditions. An emergency condition is one in which the safety of
personnel requires immediate shutdown.
Shutdown, Normal Conditions
Shut down the drill under normal operating conditions as follows:

-5- Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
1. Raise the drill string out of the hole. Keep the drill bit rotating, and ensure that the bailing
air is flowing while withdrawing the drill string. Then, stop bit rotation, shut off bailing air,
set the hoist brake, and engage the deck wrench.
2. Lower the drill onto the crawlers as described under the topic “LEVELING THE DRILL”
on Page 4-18.
3. Place all operating controls in their OFF or “neutral” position.
NOTICE
To protect the engine turbos, whenever possible the engine should be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes before shut down to allow the turbos to
cool.
4. Shut the engine down by turning the ENGINE START key (09, Figure 4-1) counterclock-
wise to position “B” (OFF) position. A sequenced shutdown of the drill will follow and all
y
appropriate systems will be shut down by the PLC.
op
5. Before turning off the 24Vdc battery box, the GUI must be shut down properly, as
follows:
C
A. With the engine off, turn the RUN/PROGRAM key switch in the PLC cabinet to
the PROGRAM mode.
d
B. Press the MAINTENANCE button on the main screen of the GUI.
lle
C. At the First Maintenance Sub-Page (Figure 2-11), press the EXIT TO WINDOWS
tro
button. The GUI will stop its program and return to the windows environment. A
new windows screen will be displayed.
D. At the lower left corner of the windows screen, press the START button. Then
on
press the SHUTDOWN option. A window will appear with several selections. Be
sure to press the SHUTDOWN COMPUTER option.
nc
E. Press OK. Windows will shut itself down in about 10 seconds.
F. A black screen will appear with the message “IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN OFF
U
YOUR COMPUTER.”
G. Either shut off the battery box using the battery box master disconnect switch or
shut off the GUI using the GUI circuit breaker.
NOTICE
This procedure must be used every time when shutting off the 24 Vdc
battery box or the GUI circuit breaker.
Shutdown, Emergency Conditions
Use the following procedure to shut down the drill in an emergency. An emergency
situation is one in which the rotary or propel functions of the drill must be shut
down immediately or the safety of personnel is questionable.

-6- Sec04.fm
Emergency stopping of the drill is very abrupt and can damage the drill due to
high stress loading on its components. Do not use the emergency procedure in
place of the normal shutdown procedure.
On the standard drill, there are three EMERGENCY STOP PUSHBUTTONS sim-
ilar to item (01, Figure 4-2). One is located adjacent to the engine on the machin-
ery deck and the another is located on the right hand side of the drilling platform,
where it can be reached from the ground. Depressing any of the EMERGENCY
STOP Push-button will shut down the engine and set all drill brakes
After the reason for the emergency shutdown has been corrected, reset the EMER-
GENCY STOP Push-button by physically pulling the head of the push-button out
to release it from its maintained depressed condition. The push-button must be in
the out position to restart the drill.
PROPELLING THE DRILL
y
op
Drill speed and direction are controlled by the PROPEL CONTROLLER (07, Fig-
ure 4-2). Speed of travel is determined by the amount of displacement of the con-
troller from the centered, “neutral” position. Direction of travel is determined by
C
the direction of controller movement from the straight forward or reverse posi-
tions. d
NOTICE
lle
Before propelling the drill for any prolonged period, swing the breakout
tro
wrench and pipe positioners inward. This will reduce the bouncing of the
wrench and positioner while traveling (see Figure 4-17).
on
It is recommended that direction be changed through large radius turns, with one
crawler propelling slightly slower than the other. Cornering and other changes of
direction should be accomplished in 15 to 20 degree increments, with short periods
of straight travel between the turning increments to allow the crawlers and drive
nc
tumblers to clear themselves of dirt.

U
Propel the drill as follows:
1. Start the drill as previously described.
2. Be sure the drill string is out of the hole, the hoist brake is set, and the bailing air system is
shut off. Water injection will be off when the bailing air is off.
3. If the drill is equipped with the optional hydraulically-operated dust curtains, raise them
before traveling.
4. Retract the leveling jacks.
5. Be sure there are no obstructions or other impediments which would prevent safe drill
travel.

-7- Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
6. Place MODE SELECT switch (11, Figure 4-3) in the “D” PROPEL position. The propel
warning horn will sound continuously.
7. Place ENGINE SPEED switch (10, Figure 4-1) in the HIGH speed position.
8. Select PROPEL SPEED (HIGH or LOW) by depressing the PROPEL SPEED switch (04,
Figure 4-2) to the desired position. Select LOW speed while maneuvering in tight areas.
Select HIGH speed when propelling in normal travel conditions.
9. Release the propel brakes by placing PARKING BRAKES switch (03) in the RELEASE
position.
NOTICE
The propel brakes will remain set until the PROPEL CONTROLLER (07,
Figure 4-2) is moved out of it’s neutral (centered) position.
y
10. Slowly move PROPEL CONTROLLER (07) in the direction opposite the desired travel
op
direction and propel the drill one or two feet to clear the crawler shoes and drive sprockets
of jammed material.
C
d NOTICE
When propelling up or down a hill, with the mast raised or lowered,
lle
always refer to the drill stability chart. It is recommended that the mast
and operator’s cab should always be on the high end of the slope. In other
words, the operator’s cab should lead when going up hill and should trail
tro
when going down hill.
11. Steer with the PROPEL CONTROLLER (07, Figure 4-2).

on
nc
Drill tip-over due to steep grades can cause severe injury or

death, and/or property damage. Never operate on grades greater
than recommended for your drill configuration. Refer to the
U
Drill Stability Chart. If uncertain, contact your P&H MinePro

Services Representative.
12. Propel the drill as follows:
NOTICE
Turning the drill more than 15 to 20 degrees at a time can cause serious
damage to the propel and crawler systems (see Figure 4-4). This damage
can be caused by loose material being forced into the track roller path
causing damage to propel system tracks or other components.
A. Straight Forward Propel. To propel straight forward, slowly move the propel controller
away from the centered “neutral” position in a straight forward direction. The speed of
travel will increase as the controller joystick is moved further forward.

-8- Sec04.fm
B. Left Propel. To steer to the left while propelling forward, position the controller joy-
stick toward the left upper quadrant. This causes the right crawler to propel faster than
the left, causing the front of the drill to turn left. The sharpness of the turn is determined
by the angle of controller movement from full forward (0 degrees) to full left (90
degrees). Position the controller for a 15 degree left turn and execute the turn. Then,
propel straight for a short distance to free the crawlers and drive tumblers of dirt before
making another left turn.
C. Right Propel. To steer to the right while propelling forward, position the controller
toward the right upper quadrant. This causes the left crawler to propel faster than the
right, causing the front of the drill to turn right. The sharpness of the turn is determined
by the angle of controller movement from full forward (0 degrees) to full right (90
degrees). Position the controller for a 15 degree right turn and execute the turn. Then,
propel straight for a short distance to free the crawlers and drive tumblers of dirt before
making another right turn.
D. Reverse Propel. Propelling in reverse is similar to propelling forward except that the
propel controller is moved to the reverse position. To turn left while propelling in
reverse, move the controller toward the reverse position to the left. To turn right while
y
propelling in reverse, move the controller toward the reverse position to the right.
op
NOTICE
C
When turning in reverse, the rear of the drill will turn in the direction
opposite that selected, causing the front of the drill to face the selected
d
direction. In other words, turning right, while propelling in reverse, will
cause the rear of the drill to move left.
lle
13. To stop propelling, slowly return the propel controller joystick to the centered “neutral”
tro
position and release the controller handle
NOTICE
on
When possible, move the controller slowly. This will prevent mast whip-
ping and thus reduce structural stress.

Figure 4-4: Propel Operation

- 10 - Sec04.fm
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION (OPTION)
The optional remote propel control transmitter (Figure 4-5) is used to control the
drill from outside the operators cab while it is being propelled to a new location.
The control is a radio transmitter which transmits to a receiver on the drill. The
receiver converts the transmitted signals which control drill speed, direction of
movement, steering, auto-level and the horn.
Propel the drill using the remote controller as follows:
1. Before leaving the operators cab, do the following:
A. Start the drill as described under the topic STARTUP.
B. Turn off the bit air, bit lube and water injection systems.
C. Hoist the drill string out of the hole.
y
D. Set the hoist brake and engage the deck or slide wrench to hold the drill string.
op
E. Place AUTO LEVEL switch (11, Figure 4-2) in the RAISE position to retract the level-
ing jacks if they are supporting the drill or not fully retracted. The AUTO LEVEL func-
C
tion will not operate if the drill is tilted more than 6 degrees. In that case, the operator
must manually level the drill as described under the topic Manual Leveling on Page 4-
19.
d
lle
NOTICE
The AUTO LEVEL switch starts a sequence of raising (or lowering) the
tro
leveling jacks completely. If it becomes necessary to stop the operation of

the leveling jacks, depress the AUTO LEVEL STOP push-button on the
remote transmitter.
on
NOTICE
nc
If your drill is an ST version with the long mast and the angle
drilling option, the rotary carriage must be locked in a “safe”
U
position before any leveling or propelling function can be

enabled. A “safe” position is defined as when the rotary carriage
is positioned at less than 2/3 of the height of the mast. Limitation
of upward carriage travel while the mast is at an angle is neces-
sary because it is unsafe to propel or to use any leveling jack
function with the mast at an angle and the rotary carriage near
the top of the mast. The drill could tip over and structural dam-
age could occur under these circumstances. Note that the mast
can be placed in the vertical or horizontal position for traveling
and the drill propel function will operate normally. For the above
reasons, the length of drill pipe in use with the mast at an angle
is limited to 32’ (9.5m).
F. Turn the MODE SELECT switch (11, Figure 4-3) to the PROPEL position.
G. Place REMOTE CONTROL switch (6, Figure 4-2) in the REMOTE position.

- 11 - Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
2. Leave the operators cab and perform a complete visual inspection of the drill and the sur-
rounding area to be sure nothing will interfere with safe drill travel.
3. Pull the POWER ON switch (Figure 4-5) out to energize the remote control transmitter.
The transmitter requires a few seconds to complete initialization. After about four seconds,
the TRANSMIT INDICATOR LED will begin to flash and data will begin to be transmit-
ted.

5. Select HIGH or LOW propel speed using the SPEED switch (Figure 4-5). If the terrain is
flat and even and requires few turns, use the HIGH setting. If the ground is uneven and
many turns will be required, select LOW.
Stay clear of the drill while propelling under remote control.

Serious injury, death or damage to the drill or other equipment
may occur if this precaution is not observed.
6. Propel the drill to the new location, making sure the operator remains in close (but safe)
proximity to the drill. The operator must stay in line-of-sight view of the operators cab at
all times during a remote propelling operation. See Figure 4-6. Since the operator can not
feel impact “by the seat of his pants” while operating the drill from a remote location, it is
most important to move slowly, to choose the most level path, and to avoid bumps.

TOWING
Prepare to tow the drill as follows:
1. Be sure the following conditions are satisfied:
A. Bailing air is OFF. This will also turn off the water injection system.
B. Drill string is hoisted and secured.
C. If the drill is equipped with either the optional hydraulically operated dust curtains or
optional hydraulically operated boarding ladder, raise them.
D. All obstructions to travel are removed.
Towing the drill with the mast raised, or on grades steeper than
y
recommended, could cause the drill to tip over, causing serious
op
injury or death and extensive drill damage. Always lower the
rotary carriage and mast before towing the drill. Refer to the
Stability Chart at the rear of this manual for grade limitations
C
and always consult your MinePro Representative if in doubt as
to the safety of a towing operation. d
2. Lower the mast as described under the topic “OPERATING THE MAST” on Page 4-21
lle
(DL) or Page 4-34 (ST).
3. Lower the drill from the leveling jacks onto the crawlers and ensure that the jacks are fully
tro
retracted, as described under the topic “LEVELING THE DRILL” on Page 4-18.
4. Place all operating controls in their “neutral” (OFF) positions.

7. Disengage the propel motor couplers as follows:
Disconnecting the propel motor couplers for towing will also dis-
connect the propel brakes. Never disconnect the couplers while
the drill is on a grade, since uncontrolled travel could result. Dis-
engage the couplers only while the drill is at a standstill on level
ground. Take precautions to control stopping the drill while tow-
ing. Always back down steep grades and be sure that the towing
connection is secure at both the drill and the towing vehicle end.
Be sure the tow line is adequate for the weight of the drill.

LEVELING THE DRILL
The following paragraphs outline the procedures used to level the drill either auto-
matically or manually. In general, auto-leveling is preferred. Leveling the drill will
provide better drill stability, thus preventing over-load damage to track compo-
nents, and will ensure more perpendicular drill holes.
Automatic Leveling
To raise and level the drill automatically, proceed as follows:
y
Sudden tip-over can occur when raising and leveling the drill
with jacks. This will result in equipment damage and/or severe
op
personal injury or death. Inspect the ground to ensure adequate
support and add cribbing or support mats before lowering the
jacks. Use a signal person to assist in observing jacks, crawlers,
C
and the drill during the leveling process.
1.
d
Always level the drill at the lowest practical height that will unload the crawler belts, but
not so high that the sagging belts do not touch the ground.
lle
2. On rough terrain, it may be impossible to have more than a portion of the crawler belts
touching the ground. Select level spots for jack pads and be sure that they are well seated
tro
and stable.
3. Place all operating controls in the neutral (off) position.

on
4. Place the drill in the DRILL mode. Leveling will not work if this is not done. Activate the
automatic leveling system controls by placing AUTO-LEVEL switch (11, ) in the RAISE
nc
position. The drill should now self-level with the least amount of jack extension. The GUI
will display LEVEL (see Figure 2-26). Note that the GUI and the bubble level (09, Figure
2-1) should agree. If they do not agree, call maintenance personnel.
U
NOTICE
If drill tilt exceeds 6 degrees, it is in an over-tilt condition. The bubble
level will not center, the GUI will not display the LEVEL screen, and a
fault will be indicated on the GUI. The drill will then have to be leveled
manually. (See Manual Leveling, below).
5. Shut down the auto-level system by depressing the AUTO-LEVEL STOP switch (06, Fig-
ure 4-2).
Automatic Lowering
To lower the drill automatically, proceed as follows:

- 18 - Sec04.fm
1. Ensure that all operating controls are in the NEUTRAL (OFF) position and all brakes are
set.
2. Activate the automatic leveling system by placing AUTO-LEVEL switch (11, Figure 4-2)
in the LOWER position. The drill will lower itself while remaining in a level condition until
the crawlers make solid contact with the ground. The jacks will continue to retract until they
are fully retracted.
3. Depress the AUTO-LEVEL STOP switch (12).
Manual Leveling
To raise and level the drill manually, proceed as follows:
Sudden tip-over can occur when raising and leveling the drill
with jacks, resulting in equipment damage and severe personal
y
injury. Inspect the ground for lifting support, and add cribbing
op
or support mats before lowering jacks. Use a signal person to
assist in watching the jacks, crawlers and drill during the level-
ing process.

U
NOTICE
The following sequence is to be used for leveling the drill on flat surfaces
only. On sloping surfaces, always begin leveling the drill on its lowest cor-
ner.
4. Raise the optional hydraulic dust curtains if they are down.
5. Depress LEFT REAR JACK switch (09, Figure 4-2) and RIGHT REAR JACK switch (08)
to the EXTEND position until the jacks contact the ground and just begin to raise the rear
of the drill. Then, release the jack switches.
6. Depress FRONT JACKS switch (10) to the RAISE position until the jacks reach the
ground and just begin to raise the front of the drill. The front jacks are equalized and are
operated with a single switch. Release the FRONT JACKS switch.

- 19 - Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
7. Observe bubble level and the GUI screen and operate switches (08, 09, and 10, Figure 4-2)
as required to lift and level the drill. Proceed as follows:
A. Raise the rear end of the drill and level it from side-to-side.
B. Raise the front end of the drill and level it to front-to-back.
Do not raise the drill any higher than necessary to provide a level condition. The
drill should be high enough to relieve the drill weight from the crawler belts, but
low enough that the sagging belts still contact the ground.
NOTICE
Jacks may settle in soft ground, or they may drift down if the jack cylin-
der is worn or damaged. Check the drill level at periodic intervals, as
required. Do not adjust for an out of level condition while drilling. This
will bend the drill string in the hole. Remove the drill string from the
y
hole before re-leveling the drill.

OPERATING THE MAST (DL Model)
The following is assumed:
1. The vertical mast position is the zero degree position. Mast angle is measured in degrees
from the vertical position. Example: The 20 degree position is 20 degrees below the
vertical position. Drilling angles are in increments of 5 degrees to a maximum of 20
degrees. Thirty degree angle drilling is available as an option.
2. The first step in operating the mast will normally be to raise it to the vertical position. The
only exception is when the mast is being raised from the horizontal position to the 20
degree angle drilling position. This can be done without raising the mast to vertical.
3. To fold the back braces for the DL Model, it is first necessary to place the mast in the 20
degree position.

Contacting energized overhead power lines with the drill mast

will result in severe injury or death of personnel on or near the
drill. Do not raise or lower the mast under or near overhead
U
power lines. OSHA and MSHA require at least 10 feet of clear-

ance from overhead power lines carrying 50,000 volts or less.
Always maintain the minimum clearances or disconnect and
ground the power line at the drill site.
To place the mast in either the vertical or an angle drilling position other than 20
degrees, starting with the mast in the horizontal position, proceed as follows:
Refer to Figure 4-9 for an illustration of this procedure.

OPERATING THE MAST (ST Model)
The following should be understood about ST Model mast operation.

- 35 - Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
1. The vertical mast position is the zero degree position. Mast angle is measured in degrees
from the vertical. Standard drilling angles are in increments of 5 degrees to a maximum of
20 degrees from vertical. Thirty degree angle drilling is available as an option.
Always consult your local MinePro Services Representative

before attempting to raise the mast with the rotary carriage
located at the top of the mast. Permission to perform this opera-
tion must be obtained for each drill individually.
2. The ST Model drill is generally capable of lifting the mast to the vertical position with the
rotary carriage at the top of the mast and with two lengths of drill pipe in the drill string.
Two lengths of drill pipe are initially used only for vertical drilling.
3. Angle drilling must be done using only one length of drill pipe at a time. Additional
lengths can be added after the first has been drilled down. It is impossible to angle drill
y
beginning with two lengths of pipe because the rotary carriage would be too high to allow
op
stable drill operation. Therefore, the drill is interlocked to prevent propel and jack motions
if angle drilling is attempted with the rotary carriage too far up the mast.
C
4. The first step in operating the Model ST mast will normally be to raise it to the vertical
position. d
5. To fold the back braces and lower the Model ST mast to horizontal, the mast must first be

DUST CURTAINS
Flying debris and drilling dust can cause eye or other serious
injuries. Dust containing crystalline silica can cause respiratory
disease, cancer, injury or death. Be sure dust curtains are low-
ered before drilling. Keep all personnel off the drilling platform
and away from the drill hole while drilling is in progress. Avoid
dust contamination from work clothes, eating or drinking. Fol-
low mine procedures for air monitoring, exposure limitations,
and protection methods for dust and crystalline silica exposure.
Standard dust curtains are permanently mounted below the mast platform. They
enclose the immediate area around the top of the hole. They are not movable in the
normal course of drill operation.
y
Optional hydraulically lifted and lowered rear dust curtains are available. After
op
the drill has been positioned and leveled, hydraulically operated dust curtains
must be lowered to the ground before bailing air is started.
C
The movable dust curtains are operated by two hydraulic cylinders that raise the
hinged panels of the curtain. Operate the optional hydraulic dust curtains as fol-
lows:
d
lle
Compressed air flowing through the drill bit will blow loose dirt
tro
and debris behind the dust curtain. Wear protective eye and face
shields when working around compressed air and be sure the
dust curtain is correctly positioned to prevent debris from strik-
on
ing personnel. Do not work or inspect behind the dust curtains

while drilling is in progress.
nc
1. After the drill has been positioned and leveled, depress DUST CURTAIN switch (02,
Figure 4-2) to the LOWER position. Keep the curtain flaps to the outside and as low as
possible.
U
2. Before drilling, inspect dust curtains to ensure that all curtains are installed and in the low-
ered position. Curtains should not be lifted while drilling.
3. After the hole has been completed and before the drill is lowered from the leveling jacks,
raise the optional movable dust curtain by depressing DUST CURTAIN switch to the
RAISE position.
4. Visually check to ensure that the movable dust curtain is in the fully raised position and is
clear of the ground and drill components before moving the drill.

Deck, Slide and Breakout Wrenches

U
DECK WRENCH. The deck wrench is used to hold the drill pipe when adding or
removing a length of pipe or changing drill bits. It is commonly used on long mast
ST Model drills and drills equipped with pipe racks. Operate the deck wrench as
follows:
1. Depress DECK WRENCH switch (05, Figure 4-21) to the EXTEND position until the
deck wrenches engage the pipe breakout slot on each side of the drill pipe as shown in
Figure 4-17.
2. Visually ensure that the pawls are correctly seated in the pipe breakout slots.

tion has been securely coupled and is supported by the rotary carriage.
3. Release the deck wrench by depressing DECK WRENCH switch (05, Figure 4-21) to the
RETRACT position. Hold the switch in the RETRACT position until the deck wrench is
fully released. Visually observe that the deck wrench is fully retracted. Then, release the
DECK WRENCH switch.
SLIDE WRENCH. Short mast DL drills or drills equipped with carousels will
usually use slide wrenches. The slide wrench is used to hold the drill pipe when
adding or removing a length of pipe, or changing drill bits. The slide wrench set-up
requires a different style of slot or cutout in the drill pipe as compared to the style
of pipe required for use with deck wrenches.
The same switch (05, Figure 4-21) is used to operate either the deck wrenches or
the slide wrench (Figure 4-22).

Loading and Unloading Drill Pipe
The following discussion of loading and unloading drill pipe assumes that person-
nel are familiar with drill operation. Therefore, step-by-step instructions as to how

- 47 - Sec04.fm
Model 250XP-2-OM
each task is to be accomplished are omitted so as to concentrate on an outline of

the method of handling drill pipe without complicating it unnecessarily.
It should be kept in mind that there are two basic drill models, the DL
and the ST.
• The DL (dragline) model uses the short mast, carousel and slide wrench.
• The ST (shovel-truck) uses the longer mast, pipe racks, and deck wrenches.
These design differences will require minor changes in the pipe loading
and unloading techniques which follow. Illustrations show the pipe load-
ing technique and may not show your specific mast arrangement.

NOTICE
Be sure that the threads of all pipe joints are in good condition, and that
they are clean and well lubricated.
1. Depress MODE SELECT switch (11, Figure 4-3) to the HOIST position.
2. Momentarily depress HOIST BRAKE switch (07) to the RELEASE position.
3. Place HOIST-PULLDOWN control (04, Figure 4-21) in the HOIST position to raise the
rotary carriage. Continue to raise the rotary carriage until it has cleared the top of the car-
ousel or pipe rack, then return the HOIST-PULLDOWN control to the center “neutral”
y
position. Immediately set HOIST BRAKE (07, ).
op
4. Depress and hold CAROUSEL STORE or PIPE RACK switch (09, Figure 4-12) to the
over-hole position until the carousel or pipe rack moves forward and is positioned under
the rotary carriage coupling. Then return the switch to the off position.
5.
C
Turn CAROUSEL ROTATION SWITCH (08) to bring a section of drill pipe into align-
ment with the rotary carriage coupling. See Figure 4-31.
d
lle
6. Place MODE SELECT switch (11, Figure 4-3) in the “A” THREAD position and place
BIT ROTARY SPEED CONTROL (01) to a slow forward position. Use the optional
THREAD LUBE switch (05) to lubricate pipe threads, if furnished.
tro
The following step requires that the rotary drive be operated at very slow speed while the
rotary carriage drifts downward, permitting connection of the drill pipe with the rotary
on
coupling.
nc
The operator must not run the carriage in the counter-clockwise

(CC) direction when adding any component to the drill string.
U
This incorrect rotation can cause components of the drill string

to uncouple and fall, causing injury to personnel and/or damage
to drill components.
7. Adjust the forward (CW) speed of the rotary carriage to very slow while simultaneously
releasing the hoist brake. The hoist drive will allow the rotary carriage to drift slowly
downward. The simultaneous rotation and rotary carriage descent will permit the rotating
female pipe threads in the rotary carriage coupling to mate with the stationary male pipe
threads on the section of pipe. Move the BIT ROTARY SPEED CONTROL to “0” to stop
pipe motion.
8. Set the HOIST BRAKE using switch (07).
Be certain that the rotary carriage coupling is correctly connected to the section of drill
pipe. This will be evident because the flange on the pipe will be seated uniformly all
around the face of the coupling. If the pipe joint connection is not correctly made, uncou-

one-half the normal drilling speed), thus ensuring accurate positioning of the drill
and hole.
All drill systems must be operating and the drill must be leveled at the site where
the hole is to be located. The drill string must be placed with the bit lowered to
ground level (but not contacting the ground), as described previously.

Single Pass Drilling (ST Model, Long Mast)
Single pass drilling is the process of drilling a blasthole to a depth no greater than
the maximum travel of the rotary carriage within the mast structure. No coupling
or uncoupling of drill pipe, stabilizer, or drill bit is required for either the drilling
operation or for propelling between blasthole sites.
