This Manual is NOT a Parts Book. Do not use it to order parts. You have been supplied with a separate, detailed Parts Book. Please read carefully the instructions in the front of it. All parts are listed by group number with items and part numbers for this SPECIFIC machine. Please order the correct parts in exact quantity. Parts ordered by mistake and returned are subject to a MPSD rehandling charge. RIGHTand LEFT HAND parts or direction referred to in this manual or parts book correspond to the operator's hands at Right Hand the controls as he faces the bucket. Please state the correct machine SERIAL NUMBER in any conversation or correspondence. This number is located on a plate located in operator's cab. Records, ------ -1 at MPSD, of each machine are filed by serial number. Given this number, the specific design and original equipment is accurate and quick.

SAFETY SUGGESTIONS

The operator controls the machine and its usefulness. The crew alone thinks for it. Safety, constantly in mind, prevents accidents. Develop good habits. Everyone has bad habits, but try to erase them quickly. Cleanliness and safety go together. A clean machine is easier to operate, inspect, and maintain.

READ and OBSERVE ALL warning signs, they're placed for your health and safety.

KNOW the location of fire extinguisher.

PROMPTLY REPLACE all guards, inspection doors, access covers and other, safety features after inspection or repair.

PROPERLY GROUND the power source.

HIGH VOLTAGE power lines require using EXTREME CAUTION.

NEVER attempt electrical repairs, unless qualified.

PLEASE READ carefully this Manual and Parts Book.

PLEASE CREATE A SYSTEMATIC MAINTENANCE procedure and follow it.

PLEASE KEEP safe operating procedures in mind at ALL times.

CAUTION IS THE BY-WORD. Develop a feel for the machine. Try to sense failure before it arrives. Take that extra second to look at something that seems out of place. A paint chip or bubble may be an early warning. A slight hiss may indicate a growing air leak. It's much easier to tighten a packing nut than shutdown for packing repair.

LOOK FOR loose bolts and locking devices.

KEEP FLOORS CLEAN and free of oil and grease.

WI PE AWAY excess grease and oil around bearings and gears.

KEEP hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts.

MAINTAIN CLEAR walkways.

PLEASE LUBE regularly. 1-2

MAINTAIN correct supply of lubricant.

DO NOT SERVICE or lube moving parts.

WATCH AIR system performance.

PLEASE OPERATE machine on as near level ground as possible.

DO NOT START machine without FULL tank of air pressure.

DO NOT APPLY swing brakes while machine is rotating, except in emergency.

PLEASE WATCH clearance when swinging.

DO NOT HOLD the bucket load longer than needed in dumping cycle.

DO NOT BOARD an operating machine.

CHECK boom suspension, hoist and drag ropes for early signs of wear or failure. Kinks cause permanent damage.

CHECK LIMIT switches for proper operation.

CHECK OVERLOAD and thermal breakers.

DO NOT LEAVE the controls without pushing the button marked "EXCITATION" and turning ALL brake switches to "SET".

SUGGESTIONS FOR INSPECTION

Open pit mining equipment undergoes tremendous shock and stress. Marion's design considers these loads. This machine, built with an ample reserve of power and strength, will meet the demands of its task. Marion's engineers cannot foresee the conditions imposed by abuse, neglect and mismanagement. These factors damage any piece of equipment more than years of continuous operation and normal wear. Care, sound judgement and reason govern the economic need in the operation of power equipment.

Downtime exists, but an ongoing program of inspection and evaluation minimizes it. Awareness of unusual conditions generally warns personnel before breakdown occurs. Normal wear of machinery parts escapes exact definition. Parts do not suddenly expire. Wear takes place at varying degrees over time. Constant checking indicates a wear pattern. An alert maintenance crew checks ALL structural members for evidence of stressed, broken or loose items. Minor cracks occur in steel structures. It's true of ALL machines. This is NOT SERIOUS 1-3

when weld repaired while SMALL. Cold weather causes faster expansion and brittleness than warm weather. Early detection and quick repair prevents failure. A stretch, bend or defect often shows up in condition of surface paint. A collection of dust along a line may indicate a crack in the metal. Look closely at areas around openings where angles are cut out. Also check gusset connections and points where thin and heavy metals join. The good crew watches for loose bolts, nuts, cap screws, lock washers and other locking devices. Rod bolts are important too. Signs of scuffed paint, worn or bright spots next to any part indicate movement and becomes second nature to most personnel. Retighten ALL bolts shortly after initial start-up. Grease and oil stains often indicate problems. Perhaps just poor housekeeping, but at least something is wrong.

Replacement and maintenance schedules may conform to planned shutdowns. Lack of proper lube, poor adjustments and abuse cause and speed up wear. These facts show up as the MAIN reasons for breakdown. If any part shows wear or distortion beyond expected normal wear, order replacement and quickly install. The cost of parts is nothing when compared to breakdown cost and loss of man hours and production.

Production machines operating 24 hours, 7 days every week deserve an 8 hour inspection and cleaning every 10 days. Cleaning before inspection eliminates dirt and dust falling into machinery parts when inspection plates and covers are removed.

On the upper works, a solvent makes removal of the accumulation of grease around bearings, gears, motors and the like easier. The dirt shield under the drag drum and the trough under the open gears may require a number 3 coal shovel to get the job done.

Start up the machine and dig enough to warm up machinery, open the inspection cover over gears and pinions. Look at gear teeth as machinery slowly goes thru its paces of hoist/lowering and drag-in/pay-out. Broken teeth are easy to spot, but splayed or an unusual wear pattern takes a closer look.

For a quick check, run a piece of soft wire thru the gear mesh at each side of the pinion. Measure thickness of the two adjacent loops with micrometer. The sum of the two loops indicates backlash. Comparing them gives an indication of misalignment. If excessive backlash is suspected, measure with a dial indicator. There just isn't enough room between the gear guard and the pinion to use a feeler gauge.

Slowly rotate the upper works several times in each direction. Look at condition of roller circle, rail, gear and swing pinion. Sound here may indicate a flat or chipped roller or even suggest burrs or damaged teeth on the rotating pinion.

While hoist operates, check condition of point sheaves groove and bearings. Test hold down bolts on boom point end plate. While operating drag, check fairlead sheaves, grooves and bearings. Look at fairlead swivel. Test ALL hold down bolts with impact wrench. Check 1-4
