General Information INTRODUCTION The operation of heavy mining machinery 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 machinery.

This manual is designed to provide the FH125 D Face Haulage machine operator with the proper information regarding the machine’s instrumentation, operating controls and general 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 FH125 D must be adequately maintained by the operators and service personnel. To achieve this, the operator’s pre-start inspection procedure contained in Section 6 of this manual must be performed before any use of this machinery is undertaken.

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

DESCRIPTION The FH125 D is a 15m³ capacity Face Haulage machine. This allows it to be used for carrying coal from the continuous miner to the feeder breaker station.

The FH125 D is powered by a 172 kW (230HP) CAT 3126 turbocharged four-stroke inline six cylinder diesel engine package. Flameproofing of the system includes a wet exhaust conditioning system. The start system is pneumatic. The diesel control system is an intrinsically safe electronic monitoring system. The engine power output is connected to the four speed bidirectional power shift transmission via a drive coupling on the rear of the engine, the power is then transmitted to heavy duty axles. The trailer axle drives the trailer wheels via 90° bevel gear boxes to the trailer planetary hub complete with liquid-cooled Posi-Stop brakes.

The FH125 D utilises a wet exhaust system complete with a replaceable particulate filter.

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

Gauge Parameters and Colour Coding GAUGE COLOUR CODE The gauges in the operator’s compartment are colour coded to assist the operator to recognise if the temperatures and pressures are within the correct operating parameters.

During normal operation some gauges may, at times, read outside of the indicated normal operating range e.g. during normal operation, when the operator applies the brake the brake head pressure gauge will drop below the minimum pressure and indicate that the pressure is too low. This is because the pressure is being released from the brakes to allow the springs to apply the brakes. When the operator releases the brake the gauge should then return to the green zone.

RED:

The gauge is indicating an unsafe condition. When this occurs the operator should stop the machine and rectify the problem or have service personnel rectify the problem before placing the machine back in service.

ORANGE: The gauge is indicating a temperature or pressure outside of the normal operating range. The operator should closely monitor the gauge and report the problem to service personnel for rectification.

YELLOW: The gauge is indicating a temperature or pressure below the normal operating range. This will not cause immediate damage if operated for short periods. Report to service personnel for rectification if machine continually operates in this area.

GREEN:

The gauge is indicating that the temperature or pressure being monitored is within the normal operating range.

CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS COMPARTMENT DOOR The compartment door must be closed and locked after entering the compartment before the park brake button can be released and the declutch valve be deactivated.

Never use the door to apply the park brake. Always manually apply the park brake by pressing the park brake button and ensure the brake head pressure gauge reads zero before exiting the Operator’s compartment.

On both opening the operator’s door and manual operation of the park brake valve, the steering pressure will automatically begin to bleed down upon engine shutdown, never assume the steering pressure has bled down unless the steering pressure gauge reads zero.

When the door is open the machine cannot be operated, as the park brake will be on and the transmission will be declutched. There is a roller cam valve in the door lock that needs to be activated to release the park brake. Also the brake system pressure is dumped with the door open. The engine will run with the door open.

TRANSMISSION GEAR CONTROL LEVER The transmission gear control lever has four positions, first, second, third and fourth.

Shifting from one range to another can be made at any time conditions permitting.

Momentarily decrease engine revs when selecting a higher gear. Momentarily increase engine revs when selecting a lower gear.

The transmission in the machine is modulated. This prevents severe shocks being transmitted through the drive train when the transmission direction is changed.

TRANSMISSION DIRECTIONAL CONTROL LEVER A directional control lever controls the transmission and direction of travel. This lever has three positions, forward, neutral and reverse. The engine should be at low idle when the transmission is shifted from the neutral position to either forward or reverse direction.

The transmission must be placed in the neutral position for the starter motor to engage when starting the engine.

If the engine starts when the transmission is not in neutral, the machine should be tagged out of service until the problem is rectified.

PARK BRAKE BUTTON The park brake button has two positions and it is held in the release position by pilot air pressure. By pushing the button inwards, the park brake is applied, and by pulling the button out the park brake will be released. The park brake cannot be released until the system pressure is sufficient to overcome the spring force of the brake control, it also will not release unless the door is closed (there is a roller cam valve inside the door lock which needs to be activated to release the park brake).

If the engine shuts down the park brake will automatically apply itself by dumping the pilot air pressure via the brake interlock pilot valve. The brake head pressure gauge must read zero when the brake is applied.

Never use the door interlock to actuate the park brake when exiting the machine. If there is a malfunction on the door interlock system, the park brake could possibly not apply when exiting the machine and the machine could run away resulting in serious damage or injury.

The park brake must be applied for the starter motor to engage whenever an engine start is required.

OPERATOR’S SEAT On the operator’s seat the height, backrest tilt and seat suspension are all adjustable. The controls for these functions are beside and in front of the seat base.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL The accelerator pedal is connected to the engine fuel pump governor via a cable connected to the fuel pump throttle control lever. When the accelerator pedal is depressed the engine speed increases. The accelerator pedal is spring returned so that when pedal pressure is removed, the engine returns to low idle.

Always keep the operator’s compartment clean. Dirt, etc. can build up under the accelerator pedal restricting its movement.

BRAKE PEDAL The brake pedal when depressed applies the brakes on the front and rear axles. There are four liquid-cooled Posi-Stop brakes located internally in each axle wheel end. Whenever possible select a lower gear on a grade or decline to slow the machine

Do not ride the brakes while tramming the machine.

If the engine should stall, the machine is fitted with fail-safe brake system that will fully apply the brakes. The operator can apply the brakes at any time following an engine stall to immediately bring the machine to a controlled stop.

Always keep the operator’s compartment clean. Dirt, etc. can build up under the brake pedal restricting its movement.

STEERING WHEEL The steering wheel controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the steering cylinder via an orbital steering valve. As the cylinder strokes, the machine articulates to the left or to the right.

Turning the wheel anti-clockwise articulates the trailer away from the operator. This effectively turns the machine to the left in the forward direction (tailgate end).

Turning the wheel clockwise articulates the trailer towards the operator. This effectively turns the machine to the right in the forward direction (tailgate end).

The machine will turn in the opposite directions when travelling in forward and reverse. Operator training and familiarity with face haulage operation is important to ensure that collisions are avoided.

If the engine should stall, the machine is fitted with a system that will dump the steering pressure. The operator can steer the machine via a 6 litre back up accumulator at any time following an engine stall to immediately bring the machine to a safe controlled stop.

If the door is opened or the park brake is applied, the machine is fitted with fail-safe steering system that will immediately dump the steering system pressure. This is to protect the operator or personnel from being crushed in the articulation area. Steering cannot be used until the door is shut and latched and the park brake button pulled out to the released position.

PRIMARY PARK BRAKE VALVE GAUGE This gauge indicates the pressure in the primary park brake valve system. Normal operating system pressure is 17237 kPa (2500 psi).

BRAKE HEAD PRESSURE GAUGE This gauge shows the service and park brake system’s brake head pressure. Operators should periodically check this gauge. The gauge will read zero pressure when the brakes are fully applied via the service and/or park brake controls.

If the operator’s foot is off the brake pedal and the park brake is released, the indicated pressure shall be a minimum of 12000 kPa (1740 psi). If the pressure is below this it is likely that the brakes are dragging. The machine shall not be operated with dragging brakes as fire or brake failure may result. Immediately report the problem to service personnel.

Observe that the brake head pressure is on zero after applying the park brake.

BRAKE ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE GAUGE This gauge indicates the service and park brake system’s accumulated pressure. Normal operating system pressure is 17200 kPa (2500 psi).

Do not operate the machine if the brake accumulator pressure gauge is less than 17200 kPa (2500 psi). Immediately report the problem to service personnel.
