45-R BLAST HOLE DRILL

I NTRODUCT I ON

I. DESCRIPTION

The 45-R is a rotary type drill designed for drilling of blast holes in quarry and strip mining operations.

II. READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY

This manual has been compiled to give the owner and operator information as to the care. operations. and maintenance of the machine.

For convenience. it has been written in sections. Familiarize yourself with the various sections so that· you can r easily locate the particular information you may need. i

Every effort has been made to have this manual as complete as possible at the time of printing. However. since the Bucyrus-Erie Company reserves the right to improve its products continually. changes may be made that are not covered in this manual.

ALWAYS USE THE PARTS CATALOG WHEN ORDERING PARTS TO INSURE GETTING THE RIGHT PART FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SERIAL NUMBERED MACHINE.

II. PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

A regular and planned inspection of all moving parts should be made at least once during each shift.

All other parts such as supports. brackets. etc •• should be inspected at least once a week.

Remember. keeping bolts tight is just as much an item of maintenance as lubricating or adjusting the machine. A bolted connection which is not quite tight will quickly pound itself into a loose and dangerous connection. Similarly. a weld which has cracked can be easily repaired by IIV-ing" it out and rewelding. but if the crack is allowed to open. it may spread so much that proper alignment of the part is lost. satisfactory repair is then hard to make.

An item of maintenance not to be overlooked is cleanl iness. Clean and paint the machine as part of xour regular preventative maintenance schedule.

IV. BREAK-IN PERIOD

The first several shifts should be devoted to carefully breaking-in the by running at various speeds and 1 ight loads. Remember, that the drill machinery is new and tight, and if diesel powered, the engine is new and tight also. Careful break-in always makes bearings and gears last longer.
