Section 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The operation of heavy mining equipment can be hazardous. To ensure safe operation, operators and personnel must be alert, competent, correctly trained, tested and licensed in the principles, capabilities and correct operating and isolation procedures of the equipment.

This manual is designed to provide the MH-40 Shield Hauler Operator with the proper information regarding the equipment’s instrumentation, operating controls and safe working procedures. All operators of this machine must be conversant with the information contained within this manual before operating the machine.

To ensure safe and efficient operation, the MH-40 Shield Hauler must be adequately maintained by the operators and service personnel. To achieve this, the Operator’s Pre-start Inspection procedure contained in Section 5 of the Operator’s Manual must be performed.

Any abnormalities should be reported immediately to maintenance personnel to avoid costly machine repairs, production down time and unsafe operation of the machine.

1.2 Description

The MH-40 is a 40,000 kg high capacity Shield Hauler. It has been designed for lifting and carrying heavy pieces of equipment and machinery in underground mines. Its main function will be carrying and placing of longwall equipment and shields throughout the mine

The motive force is provided by a 172 kW Caterpillar 3126 six cylinder turbo charged four stroke inline six cylinder FLAMEPROOF diesel engine package. Flame proofing of the system includes a “dry” exhaust conditioning system complete with exhaust and intake flame traps. The start system is pneumatic and the safety system is an intrinsically safe electronic monitoring system. The engine power output is connected to the constant four wheel drive system via a drive coupling through a Dana-Spicer 32000 model four speed bi-directional power shift transmission to Dana-Spicer 21D heavy duty axles.

The MH-40 utilises a dry exhaust system complete with a replaceable particulate filter and a catalysed exhaust post treatment purifier. A removable flame trap for ease of cleaning is fitted on the outlet of the exhaust filter housing.

NOTE

A site specific Risk Assessment is recommended to be conducted before this machine is introduced into service.

WARNING

Overloading equipment could cause personal injury, death or equipment damage. Due to configuration or options these weights can vary up to 20%. DBT Australia Pty. Ltd. recommends that relevant standards and safety procedures should always be used when operating this equipment. Removal of a protective canopies, doors, interlocks and structures etc., could cause serious injury or death. Replacement with correctly torqued fasteners is mandatory.

Section 2 General Safety and Precautions

This section contains specific safety precautions that shall be followed whilst MH-40 is being operated. This list is NOT all inclusive and a measure of common sense should always be applied. ONLY TRAINED AND AUTHORISED OPERATORS SHALL OPERATE THIS MACHINE.

DO NOT use the machine for any purpose other than its intended use.

DO NOT for any reason exceed the indicated capacity of the machine.

DO NOT operate the machine unless all operator checks and scheduled maintenance have been performed. Report any damage or faulty operation immediately and DO NOT operate the machine until the fault has been corrected.

DO NOT use tie down or tow equipment such as chains or slings that are not rated for the capacity of the machine.

DO NOT operate the machine unless:

1. All covers and guards are correctly installed.

2. Personal protective equipment is worn:

a. Eye protection.

b. Hearing protection.

c. Hard hat.

d. Appropriate protective clothing.

e. Dust mask and gloves as required.

DO NOT start the machine unless:

1. The area around the machine is clear.

2. The park brake is applied.

3. Transmission is in NEUTRAL.

4. All water and oil levels are checked.

DO NOT leave the machine unless:

1. The vehicle is parked in a safe place.

2. The transmission is in NEUTRAL.

3. The park brake is applied and brake head pressure is zero.

4. The engine is stopped.

ALWAYS sound the horn before starting the engine to alert anyone who may be around the machine.

ALWAYS ensure that the operator’s cabin door is CLOSED and made secure before operating the vehicle.

ALWAYS travel at low speeds in congested areas. Slow down while travelling around corners and sound the horn frequently in areas of limited visibility.

ALWAYS drive carefully, observing all traffic rules and regulations at your colliery and be in full control of the machine at all times.

ALWAYS use extreme caution when moving or tramming the machine with the boom raised. Whenever possible lower the boom to the “carry“ position before moving machine.

Section 2 General Safety and Precautions

ALWAYS travel on inclines or declines with the front of the machine pointing down grade where possible. The forks can be lowered and dug into the ground to stop the vehicle in case of an emergency.

ALWAYS follow the correct isolation and tag out procedure before performing any maintenance on the machine.

ALWAYS operate carefully and in a responsible manner and observe all managers transport rules.

ALWAYS ensure sufficient ventilation is available to dilute exhaust gases. A nominal 8m3/sec is recommended based on NSW mines regulations.

ALWAYS be aware of the hazard sources on the machine:

1. Engine coolant pressure (See Section 4).

2. Engine coolant temperature.

3. Engine exhaust temperature.

4. Exhaust coolant temperature (See Section 4).

5. Rotating radiator fan.

6. Stored hydraulic pressure (See Section 4).

7. Stored air pressure (Air receiver).

8. Engine oil pressure/temperature.

9. Transmission oil temperature.

10. Articulation area (See Section 4).

11. Lift arm area (See Section 4).

ALWAYS keep head and arms inside the operator’s compartment at all times.

ALWAYS Use correct boarding and dismounting procedures:

1. Check floor.

2. Hold on, step down.

3. Three points of contact at all times.

4. Board using hand holds only, and not the steering wheel.

ALWAYS drive the machine to suit the conditions, report or rectify any holes on the roadway that may cause injury or damage the equipment.
