Rig Carrier (by Client) The standard KWL700 drill is designed to suit a Mercedes Actros 4144 8x8 truck. Selection of an alternate car-
rier should be done in conjunction with the above diagram to ensure wheels, fuel tanks, transmission, suspen-
sion and other ‘furniture’ will not foul with the rig jack legs. A minimum chassis specification will need to be met
prior to the rig being mounted to it. Additionally, care should be taken that weight and dimensional envelopes
are in accordance with local statuary vehicle guidelines. In some instances, permits may be required. There is a
nominal provision to fit the rig to an Actros that includes allowances for mud guards and clearance lights and tail
lights.
NOTE: Mounting the rig to tracks is non-standard, please contact your Boart Longyear representative.

* Dimensions and weights may vary depending on options and should be checked before crating or lifting.

Vee Pack Cooler


The Vee Pack Cooler consists of five cooling cores.
When viewed from the operator’s console end of the rig, the core layout is
as follows:

Left hand side


Outer core small core Fuel cooler
Inner cores High pressure compressor (500 psi)

Right hand side


Outer core Hydraulic oil cooler
Centre core Engine induction air Intercooler
Inner core Engine water jacket

A 1200 mm diameter fan blade is positioned between both core groups at


the top of the Vee Pack frame, drawing air through both cores.
The Left and Right hand core groups extract heat from all core groups.
Heated air then passes through the fan blade and is expelled vertically. This
ensures the heated air does not reenter the cooler faces under any wind
direction conditions. It also does not come into contact with any personnel
working around the drill rig. It also limits the noise levels around the drill rig.

Fan blade diameter 1200 mm


Maximum fan blade rotating speed 1250 rpm
Air volume 30,000 m³ / m
Number of blades 6
Fan blade pitch 40 degrees
Fan blade drive Hydraulic motor

To minimise noise and fuel burn levels, the hydraulic fan drive motor has an
automatic speed adjusting circuit which is controlled by two thermal valves:
Never operate the Vee Pack • one is mounted at the engine water jacket outlet; and
with its fan safety guard • one is mounted at the compressor thermal valve cooler outlet port.

Traverse Chains
This drill rig is equipped with a traverse system that consists of dual Tsubaki
RS180DC pull back chains and dual Tsubaki RS160HT pull down chains.
Keep clear of travelling chains Each chain has an adjuster bolt at the mast termination points with a lock
and sprockets at all times. nut.
The upper chains travel over a timing axle with half sprocket tooth timing
stagger.
Adjust the chains to align drive head assembly within mast beams.

Drive head alignment


1 Loosen side wear pads of traverse frame (4 off).
2 Position mast vertically with 6 m drill rod attached.
3 Loosen bottom chains.
4 Adjust top right hand chain turn buckle (10 links above drive head) for drill
rod to be central with work table.
5 Adjust top chains with rear adjusters for even droop of rear chains.
6 Lower mast to horizontal position with drive head in lowest position.
7 Adjust lower adjusters evenly until a measurement of 100mm (4”) from
top face of mast to top chain link centre pin is achieved.
8 Reposition mast vertical. Recheck drill rod for alignment and adjust lower
chains slightly if required.
9 Readjust side wear pads for light contact only to mast beam.
10 Traverse chains are now aligned and tensioned.

Lubrication
It is recommended that the chains be wiped regularly with oil to assist with
their lubrication.
The pull down chains in particular operate in a very harsh environment, so
lubrication will extend their life considerably.

Lighting (If fitted)

There are four overhead work lights mounted at the top of mast structure plus
one mounted on the control cabinet.
Fitted into the electrical circuit is a press button circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker does not reset, this indicates overloading caused by
possible short circuiting.
The circuit breaker protects all the electrical systems, so do not bypass the
fault and have it rectified.
Drill Components 3-15

Hose Reeler
The hose reeler system is designed to control all mast traveling hoses and
extensively increase hose life. It requires no operator input as it is attached
to the traverse system which automatically controls its operation.
The system will require activation rope tensioning when hoses loosen. This
is achieved by positioning the mast horizontal, loosening rope grippers at the
feed cylinder rod clevis position, and then tightening the ropes.
Ensure that all three grippers per rope are tightened correctly with the clamp
clip on the live side of the rope.

Maintenance
Inspect the stainless steel ropes weekly for any sign of damage. If damaged
replace immediately
Replace ropes every 2000 of operations.
Hose reeler ropes are 316 grade stainless steel to resist unseen corrosion.
The hose reeler track system has an inbuilt deceleration and bump stopper
system on the lower section to prevent unforeseen rope failure damage.

Air Dump Valve

The torque controller [K-30] is a manual screw adjuster mounted in the


operators console to set the rotational energy supplied to the drill rods. It can
be adjusted from zero to maximum energy by screw action adjustment.
The recommended setting is 300–500 psi above the operating rotational
pressure indicated by the rotation pressure gauge at any time.
When set it limits the torque rise being induced by down hole friction, therefore
protecting the drill bit and string.

Drill Operation 4-2

Introduction
The following are recommended guidelines and practices to help prolong
the life of your newly obtained Boart Longyear mast.
Enclosed is a checklist for a visual inspection which should be done
every 1000 hrs of operation. (Inspections may have to be done more often
when operating in extreme environmental conditions.) Make copies of
the checklist for each inspection. The checklist should be signed and
filed for future reference.

Safeguards
• Operator shall be familiar with the equipment and its proper care.
• If adjustments or repairs are necessary, or if any damage is known, the
operator shall report the details promptly to an appointed person and shall
notify the next operator upon changing shifts.
• In mast erecting and lowering operations, ensure that the drill is securely
anchored first.
A slow practical operating speed should be used during this function at
all times.
• There is no way of judging the remaining strength of a rusty cable. When
detected, rusty cable lines must be immediately replaced.
Areas adjacent to end connections should be examined closely for any
evidence of corrosion.
As a standard operating procedure, cables must be replaced at least every
12 months (or more frequently if required).
• Design modifications or welding to the mast weldments is prohibited.
These modifications could result in weakening of the mast members and
therefore, possibly causing a structural failure later.
Drill Operation 4-3

Routine Checks
Routine checks should include:
• Inspection of welds in the erecting mechanism for cracks and other signs
of deformity.
• Inspection of wire rope (including operating lines, raising lines, and guy
lines) for kinks, broken wires, or other damage.
Make certain that guy lines are not fouled.
• Check unit for level and correct placement before commencing the erecting
operation.
• Check lubrication of crown sheaves.
• During drilling operations, it is advisable to make scheduled inspections
of all bolted connections to ensure that they are tight.
Check bolts for correct torque 48 hours after initially erecting the mast.
• Ensure that the Load Rating and Warning decals are installed on the mast
and are in good shape/clearly visible.
• Steel becomes brittle when operating in low temperature conditions.
Frequent visual inspection of mast members and welds is even more
EXTREME CAUTION must be critical at these temperatures, see pages 4-4 and 4-5.

Visual Inspection of Masts


The following is a checklist for a visual inspection of the mast.
Ensure that the inspection is performed by an individual with knowledge of all mast operational
procedures during erection or relocation of mast.
Each section has a pass or fail choice. If there is a problem, it should be noted and corrected
immediately.
Make copies of this checklist and file completed check lists for future reference.

trough will automatically retract when the lever is
released.

The rod bin is designed to be raised with the lever in the up position
and held.
When lever is released the trough will automatically retract to its Park
position.
The speed of the trough raising is set by an adjustable needle valve. This is
set at the factory and it is recommended not to increase the extension speed
as this will cause excessive wear of keyways and bushes.
The pressure of the rod trough is preset to support the weight of a drill rod
only. Any other load applied the trough will not raise or push down if extended.
This is designed for collision with drive head.
Mounted at the top edge of the trough are two nylon adjustable blocks to align
the drill rod with to drive head spindle centre line.
Height adjustment is achieved by a screw and lock nut at the motor arm ends
of the trough.

Air Compressor

Air Compressor

This drill is equipped with a Sullair 2-stage 1350 cfm x 500 psi air compressor
that is directly coupled to the rear bell housing of the MTU engine.

Based on advice from Sullair (the Compressor OEM), the engine should
never idle lower than 1400 rpm as compressor lubrication will stop,
resulting in compressor failure.

The Sullair Model 20/12 Drill Compressor Operator’s Manual


and Spare Parts List are included at the back of this manual.
Drill Operation 4-20

To Operate the Compressor


• Position Knob [K-56] to the Start position.
• Set engine speed to 1800 rpm.
• Allow the engine to reach its operating temperature.
• Close all air valves on output air circuits.
• Position Knob [K-57] to 175 psi position.
Air pressure will rise to 175 psi on gauge [G-64].
• The inter stage pressure gauge [G-67] will indicate 60 psi.
• Reposition the Knob to the required air pressure 350–500 psi.
• Working pressure selected will be indicated on gauge [G-64].
• Steadily open the main air valve using [L-01].
• The compressor start producing an air flow rising to 1350 cfm.
• Start drilling.
• Stop drilling.
• Close main air valve using [L-01].
Air flow will cease and selected pressure will remain.
• When main air valve closes, pull [K-36] to release air pressure held within
the drill rod string.

Air flow must always be circulating through the drill string, not directly
to atmosphere.

— Thermal valve 1 senses the engine coolant temperature, and
— Therrmal valve 2 senses the air compressor oil temperature.
These thermal valves will control the Vee Pack hydraulic motor speed
which constantly adjusts the air flow through the cooler cores to maintain
the correct operational temperatures and ensure minimum horsepower is
consumed at all times.
On start up when cold the cooler fan pressure will be approx. 500 psi
(35 bar).
As the engine and compressor temperatures rise the fan speed
automatically increases until operating temperatures are reached. The
fan then adjusts its speed to maintain these temperatures. The extent of
this adjustment will vary, depending on several variables (e.g. ambient
temperature, horsepower being consumed, core cleanliness).
Fan pressure will rise and fall as loads on the engine and compressor
come on and off (e.g. while drilling a rod the cooler fan pressure may
slowly rise, then while adding another rod the fan pressure may drop back
off). The maximum speed of the fan is 1550 rpm which equates to approx.
1900 psi (131 bar)
Hydraulic Explanation 5-6

• PO5 — Supplies oil flow for the rod handler and rod bin only. No other
functions affect or are affected by use of the rod handler.
• Triple vane pump:
— Front section supplies oil flow for the acoustic pack fan thru a priority
flow valve and the excess flow is used for the water pump thru a load
sense priority valve.
— Middle section supplies oil flow for the auxiliary functions thru a load
sense priority valve.
— Rear section supplies oil flow for the fine feed thru a load sense priority
valve.

Filtration
Oil Filtration
This drill is equipped with one of the finest brands of oil filters available (PALL)
and does not require element changes on a regular date, but only when the
filter indicator is red.
The filter element indicators are a pop-up style that require finger pressure
to reset.
The indicators will not be operate at temperatures less than 27°C.
If the red indicator button rises, reset it by pressing it in when the drill is
operating with warm oil.
Should indicator rise immediately, the filter element is due to be changed.
New oil must always be added via the hand pump suction hose, as this will
filter the oil before it enters the hydraulic tank.
