BI016420

Overview of safety instructions _____________________________________ WARNING! It is important to stop rotation before the drill is out of the hole to avoid whipping of the drill rod as it rotates clear of the hole. The drill chuck will prevent the drill rod from being hurled, but if you are not standing clear you could be struck by the whip circle of the drill rod. Also, the whipping drill rod may be cut or scored by the whipping motion. Scoring will provide a weak spot on the drill rod.

IMPORTANT! Use of the longest lengths of sections which will clear may elimnate the need for an additional middle extension to obtain the desired drilling depth.

WARNING! Do not use machine power to rotate driver into alignment with lead extension.

WARNING! Bit Sizing Is Important. The following information on bit sizing is provided only as a general guide. Specific requirements will vary with mine conditions. Be sure to check with MSHA and staff officials to be sure that your bolting operation is permissible.

CAUTION! Be careful of your hands! Drill extensions are heavy. Do not put your hands or fingers between the and of the extensions in the hole and the top end of the driver. If steels hang in the hole, they can release and drop at any time!

IMPORTANT! Be sure your roof bolter is set up and adjusted for your conditions.

IMPORTANT! Immediately after the first bolt is installed, check for required torque reading with an approved calibrated torque wrench. Reading should be within limits of approved roof control plans. Check every fourth bolt. If torque limits cannot be obtained, or if bolt anchorage is different than normal, notify your supervisor immediately.

WARNING! Never use the roof bolter drill box rotation to join threaded bolt extensions.

IMPORTANT! The bolt tightening wrench is retained at the base by the drill chuck. The top of the wrench is retained firmly against the roof by the contact with the roof bolt head. There is no need to hold the wrench while tightening the bolt.

IMPORTANT! Hole depth is very critical with resin bolts. The depth must be longer than the bolt but no more than 1 or 2 inches longer.

________________________________________________________________ 2.20 Model RB125 Bolter

BI016420

____________________________________ Overview of safety instructions IMPORTANT! The integrated valve (rotation functions) provides two functions.

It limits rotation torque to the preset value required for your conditions. Second, it limits the boom force on the wrench to a consistent low force provided to maintain firm contact of the wrench and bolt head.

IMPORTANT! The wrench used for resin bolt installation should be no longer than necessary to clear within the drill chuck, and the wrench surface must reach the roof line. An overall wrench length of 12 inches is recommended.

WARNING! A resin bolt, usually made from concrete reinforcing rod material, has projections along its length. These are required for efficient resin mixing and for an effective bond between the resin and the bolt. Under no circumstances attempt to hold a rotating bolt, severe injury or death could occur.

WARNING! Special care should be exercised when working with the bendable resin bolts used in low coal. Be sure to follow bolt and resin manufacturer's recommendations.

WARNING! Always check before lowering the stab feet, booms, and the “T” bar to make sure no one has any part of their body near moving parts of a machine.

CAUTION! This unit is equipped with a tram station canopy. Be careful not to hit your head when entering the tram station.

WARNING! It is not possible, within the scope of this guide, to anticipate all possible arrangements for towing a disabled vehicle, you must take all possible precautions to protect the operators and anyone around both vehicles from being injured by either the towing vehicle, the towing device used (cables, bars, etc.) and the towing vehicle (scoop, tractor, etc.) must be strong and heavy enough to maintain control of both vehicles through all bottom conditions to be encountered at all times. Safety chains or other safety devices must be used in case of failure of the primary towing device. All operators must be alert at all times to prevent either unit from running away or running out of control during towing. The vehicle to be towed must be securely coupled to the towing vehicle before the brakes are released on the disabled unit. The operator of the towing vehicle must be in place in the towing vehicle with the brakes applied before the brakes of the disabled vehicle are released.

BI016420

____________________________________________ Storage and transport Before transport temperatures below freezing

Before transporting the equipment at temperatures below freezing, all hydraulic components operated with emulsion (HFAE or HFAS) must be completely drained and then filled with a corrosion inhibitor/frostproofing fluid.

Transport of equipment at temperatures between -6° F (-21° C) and 40° F (-40° C) is only permissible when certain measures were taken to meet these conditions at the design and manufacture stages. Nevertheless, the individual parts and devices of this equipment must not be subjected to sudden impact loads at such low temperatures and may only be loaded statically or quasi-statically.

During transport of this equipment with floor-mounted vehicles at such low temperatures, measures must also be taken to ensure that the parts and devices are not subjected to sudden impact loads. At very low temperatures and on poor roads, the transport vehicle speed must therefore be limited to a maximum of 15 mph (25 kph) for truck transport.

electronic components

Electrical and electronic components must be removed for overseas transport or prolonged storage outdoors unless these components or the complete equipment is protected against harmful environmental influences by a suitable packaging. The electrical cables remain in the equipment. They must be carefully protected against transport damage and soiling of the connections.

Operation _______________________________________________________ Drilling CAUTION! Never exceed the drill rod manufacturer’s recommendations for drill torque and thrust. Excessive torque and thrust can cause the drill rod to buckle or break, thereby creating a hazard for personnel in the vicinity of the roof bolter.

CAUTION! During drilling and bolting operations, the operator must watch drill rod and regulate boom feed control to prevent drill rod buckling.

WARNING! During drilling and bolting operations, the operator must remain under the drill station canopy at all times.

IMPORTANT! If you are not sure how much dust is in the dust collector tanks, empty the tanks. Do not overload the dust collector capacity.  Be sure the dust collection system is operating efficiently before proceeding to drill.  Position machine for drilling/bolting cycle.  Next raise “T”bar until it comes in contact with mine roof, swing drilling assemblies to the desired position, and lower cradle stab feet to mine floor.  Lower drill boom to floor.  Insert the 12”spotter drill into the drill chuck by grasping drill just below the bit.  Release your hold on the spotter drill.  Place one hand on the drill feed control lever. Place other hand on the fast feed control lever. Raise the drill to about one foot from mine roof using the fast feed. Then raise the drill to contact with the roof using slow feed.  Move your hand from the boost lever to the rotation lever. Start rotation.  Drill a “spotter”or pilot hole two or three inches deep. Then reverse the boom feed lever to lower the drill out of the hole.  When the spotter drill clears the hole, stop rotation.

________________________________________________________________ 5.28 Model RB125 Roof Bolter

BI016420

______________________________________________________ Operation CAUTION! The spotter drill is the only drill which may be safely rotated completely out of the hole. Stop rotation on all other drilling before coming out of the hole.  While maintaining the downward travel of the boom, shift your hand from the rotation control lever to the fast feed control lever.  Continue the boom's downward travel until the drill box is nearly touching the floor. Remove hands from control levers.  Remove the spotter drill.

CAUTION! Examine drill rod for defects; Do not use a drill rod that is bent or damaged.

 Examine drill rod for defects; do not use a drill rod that is bent or damaged. Then insert drill rod in drill chuck.  Guide the drill rod while slowly elevating the drill boom. As the bit nears the roof, reduce the boom elevating speed to a very slow rate so you can easily guide the bit into the pilot hole. BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR HANDS AT ALL TIMES.  Continue to feed very slowly until the bit reaches the top of the pilot hole. Do not jam the bit. Center the feed control lever. The drill rod is now retained at both ends: the base in the drill chuck, and the bit end in the pilot hole.  With one hand on the feed control lever and the other hand on the rotation control lever, you are now ready to start drilling in a normal, safe fashion.

WARNING! Never grasp any object when it is rotating in the drill box.  Judging the proper feed rate requires some experience. Too little feed rate can cause rapid bit wear by permitting the bit to be ground by the rock rather than the bit penetrating and cutting the rock.  Too high a feed force, with relief pressures to high, can cause the drill rod to buckle. Remember, buckling is most likely to occur when drilling is started with most of the full length of the drill rod exposed.

As the drill penetrates into the roof, the wall of the hole stabilizes the drill rod, and a gradual increase in feed force can safely be provided to achieve maximum drilling rates.

______________________________________________________________ A6474X298 REV 3 5.29

BI016420

Operation _______________________________________________________  Too high a feed force in soft rock can cause the bit to bite too deeply; if relief pressure is set to high, the bit shank or drill rod may be twisted off. With rotation relief set properly, the drill rotation will stall when feed is to high.  In soft rock, too high a feed rate may permit the drill penetration to run ahead of the dust collector. This condition is easy to diagnose.

You will notice intermittent bursts of dust around the drill rod at the hole. This condition is called "puffing”.  Another symptom of too high a feed rate in soft rock, beyond the collection capability of the dust system, is called “plastering”. In this condition, the drill cuttings not pulled into the drill rod are packed or plastered against the wall of the hole under the bit. With the "plastered”hole under the bit smaller than the bit, it can be very difficult to remove the drill rod from the hole. It is very particularly difficult to remove extensions.  When the drill penetration nears the boom feed stops, or when the desired drill depth is reached, reverse feed direction. Maintaining rotation while lowering the drill boom helps to clean the hole. However, stop rotation before the drill rod is completely out of the hole.

WARNING! It is important to stop rotation before the drill is out of the hole to avoid whipping of the drill rod as it rotates clear of the hole. The drill chuck will prevent the drill rod from being hurled, but if you are not standing clear you could be struck by the whip circle of the drill rod. Also, the whipping drill rod may be cut or scored by the whipping motion. Scoring will provide a weak spot on the drill rod.  It is good practice to reverse drill feed just short of the boom stops.

If the drill feed is stopped by the boom stops, the continued rotation will dull the bit by grinding against the back of the hole.  With rotation stopped, grasp the drill with one hand while continuing to lower the drill boom. Continue the down travel of the boom to provide all available clearance for installing extension sections or the roof bolt.

________________________________________________________________ 5.30 Model RB125 Roof Bolter

BI016420

______________________________________________________ Operation Extension steels selection Extension steels, two or more sections, are required when the desireddrilling depth exceeds the available feed length of one section of the drill. The extension sections consist of the following: ■ Driver - The section which has the 1 -1/8”square base to fit the roof bolter drill box chuck.

■ Lead Extension - The section which has provision for bit attachment. At the end opposite the bit, the lead extension has a coupling arrangement which connects to the driver.

■ Middle Extension - One or more used when desired drilling depth exceeds the depth which can be obtained with driver and lead extension. This piece has a coupling arrangement, one end male, the other end female, to connect driver to lead extension.

Where extension steels are required, it is important to use the longest extension section lengths which will clear within the hole length obtained with the starter and the top of the roof bolter drill box.

IMPORTANT! Use of the longest lengths of sections which will clear may elimnate the need for an additional middle extension to obtain the desired drilling depth.

When planning for drill steel lengths to be used with the roof bolter, several factors should be considered.

■ Starter length - Mining height minus 12”. The 12”allows for the height of the standard drill box, length of drill drive shank, and working clearance.

■ Driver length - the driver length to be 6”less than starter length.

■ Lead and Middle Extension Length - Mining height less 18” is recommended.

Drilling with extension steels  Insert “driver”into drill chuck.  Insert "lead extension”into hole and push upward until the of the lead extension clears the top of the driver.

 Line up and couple lead extension and driver.

WARNING! Do not use machine power to rotate driver into alignment with lead extension.

Operation _______________________________________________________ WARNING! Bit sizing is important. The following information on bit sizing is provided only as a general guide. Specific requirements will vary with mine conditions. Be sure to check with MSHA and staff officials to be sure that your bolting operation is permissible.  To facilitate manual insertion and removal of extensions, it is common practice to use a larger bit on the starter steel than is used on the lead extension. For 1-3/8”expansion shells used with mechanical bolts, it is generally permissible to use 1-1/2”starter steel bit (or starter bit). For 1”resin bolts, it is usually permissible to use 1-1/32”starter bit.  Bit suppliers usually paint the starter bit and lead extension bit (finisher bit) different colors. In addition, the bit size is usually forged into the bit body. Another identification required by MSHA is provided at the base of the bit shank. The starter bit has a flat shank base; the finisher has a pyramid at the shank base.  It is important to use only the finisher bit for the upper portion of the hole because the anchorage provided by either expansion shells or resin is dependent on the proper size hole. Even though resin bolts usually anchor over the full length, the upper anchorage is considered the most important.  Where one or more middle extensions are required, bit sizing is very important to the ease of removal of the middle and lead extensions. Worn bits drill smaller holes than new bits. If you have drilled a portion of the hole with a worn bit and it is necessary to change for the remainder of the desired hole depth, be sure to ream the “worn bit hole”with the new bit. The worn bit hole can be reamed with the new bit by providing full rotation speed and feeding slowly to the back of the hole.  You can force the new bit to the back of the hole with machine power, but you cannot force the bit out of the hole since extensions do not couple rigidly. Therefore, be sure to ream the hole first.  It may be permissible to use three bit sizes where multiple extensions are required. Consult your bit supplier for advice in this matter. They may recommend 1-5/8”starter, 1-1/2”intermediate, and finally 1-3/8”for the finisher when standard expansion shells are used with long bolts.

________________________________________________________________ 5.32 Model RB125 Roof Bolter

BI016420

______________________________________________________ Operation  With expansion and driver coupled, move your hands back to the feed and rotation controls. As instructed previously, ease both controls in starting both rotation and feed.  You will be elevating the drill steels through a few inches of previously drilled hole, so approach the back of the hole with the bit gradually - do not jam the bit.  Proceed with drilling as described previously.  As was described with the starter steel, when extension drills near the boom feed stops or when the desired drill depth is reached, reverse feed direction. Maintain rotation while lowering the drill boom until the extension coupling joint is out of the hole several inches.  Stop rotation and stop boom down travel. Grasp the extension with one hand and grasp boom feed control with the other hand.  Lower the drill boom pulling the driver out of the extension coupling.  If the desired hole depth has been drilled, maintain your grip of the extensions with one hand while removing the driver from the drill chuck with the other hand.  If additional hole depth is required, maintain your grip of extensions with one hand while picking up and coupling middle extension with other hand.  With both hands, lift drill string up into the hole until base of middle extension clears the top of the driver.  Release one hand and line-up driver with extensions. Ease extensions down out of the hole engaging coupling with driver CAUTION! Be careful of your hands! Drill extensions are heavy. Do not put your hands or fingers between the and of the extensions in the hole and the top end of the driver. If steels hang in the hole, they can release and drop at any time!  If you have problems with hanging steels, review the instructions previously presented. The more common causes and remedies have been outlined to keep the drill sections free from hanging in the hole. However, if water and voids are encountered in your roof drilling conditions, additional steps may be required to keep the drill steels free.

Operation _______________________________________________________ Drill options and adjustments IMPORTANT! Be sure your roof bolter is set up and adjusted for your conditions.

Since conditions vary extensively from mine to mine, or even between mine sections, Contact your service supervisor to be sure the roof bolter hydraulic pressures correspond safely to the ratings or specifications of your drilling tools.

Soft drilling usually requires high rotation speed and low feed force.

Hard drilling conditions require just the opposite: slower rotation speed and higher feed force. The manufacturer provides as standard a rotation speed of approximately 514 RPM and feed hydraulic pressure relief set to limit the feed force on the drill to about 2,000 pounds.

Standard speed and feed force limits provides a range which suits most conditions where 1-3/8”holes are drilled in rock strata which vary in hardness. Most mining conditions require drilling through soft to medium-hard shales for several feet with about 2’of harder rock to be drilled for good expansion steel anchorage. The operators usually develop skills to achieve maximum penetration rates with reasonable bit wear.

If your conditions are consistently very soft drilling, your Service Supervisor may recommend replacement of the hydraulic drive unit for the drill rotation to provide higher speed.

______________________________________________________ Operation Installation of mechanically anchored rock bolts Important factors toward successful mine roof support with rock or roof bolts should be remembered and practiced by the roof bolter operators.

■

■

Roof bolts support mine roof in two principle ways: –

With the expansion shield anchored in a firm rock, the bolt suspends weaker rock layers which rest on the bearing plate and cap (header, half header, scab board, etc.) board.

–

With the expansion shell anchored in a firm rock and the bearing plate drawn against the rock at the roof line, the weaker rock layers are bound together to serve as a solid laminated beam.

In order for roof bolts to be effective roof support: –

The cut must be bolted as soon as possible after mining. The greater the delay the greater the roof layers have an opportunity to sag and separate.

–

The proper torque must be applied to the bolt (within a narrow range) to pre-tension the bolt and compress the rock layers.

The torque applied to the bolt is prescribed by experience In your mining condition. The torque is usually determined by the quality of the anchorage rock.

–

All bolts must be torqued consistently. Otherwise, the high torqued bolts will carry all the loading. Consistent torque distributes the roof load over all the bolts evenly.

IMPORTANT! Immediately after the first bolt is installed, check for required torque reading with an approved calibrated torque wrench. Reading should be within limits of approved roof control plans. Check every fourth bolt. If torque limits cannot be obtained, or if bolt anchorage is different than normal, notify your supervisor immediately.  Roof bolts are inserted into the hole manually. Always use a bolt wrench which fits the drill chuck properly. Push the bolt into the hole manually far enough to insert the bolt head into the drill chuck.

WARNING! Never use the roof bolter drill box rotation to join threaded bolt extensions.  While pushing the bolt toward the roofline, watch carefully to try to detect any side flexing which would indicate the shell is jamming and the bolt is about to buckle.

______________________________________________________________ A6474X298 REV 3 5.35

BI016420

Operation _______________________________________________________

IMPORTANT! When long plates or boards are used with the bearing plate as part of your bolt assembly, stop boom feed with the plate or board just short of the roof. Turn the plate or board to desired direction, remove your hand completely: then push on up solid with the roof.

WARNING! Never place your fingers between the bearing plate or board and the roof.

 Now that the bearing plate and bolt head are firmly contacting the mine roof, pull out on the dual relief control knob to apply the correct amount of torque to the bolt.

IMPORTANT! The bolt tightening wrench is retained at the base by the drill chuck. The top of the wrench is retained firmly against the roof by the contact with the roof bolt head. There is no need to hold the wrench while tightening the bolt.  With the dual relief in the "ON”position (pushed in), push in feed lever with one hand and with the other hand push in rotation lever to torque the bolt. Keep rotation engaged until the rotation stalls.

IMPORTANT! The integrated valve (rotation functions) provides two functions.

It limits rotation torque to the preset value required for your conditions. Second, it limits the boom force on the wrench to a consistent low force provided to maintain firm contact of the wrench and bolt head.  The boom force applied to the wrench is controlled so that the rotation torque is not absorbed in friction between wrench, bolt head, and bearing plate. Without the thrust control, it is nearly impossible to maintain consistency in bolt torques.  With the bolt installed, center rotation control and reverse feed control to "DOWN' direction. With the drill boom lowered to about level position, center boom feed control.  Remove wrench.

______________________________________________________ Operation Installation of fully grouted resin bolts  Resin bolt systems operate much as was discussed for mechanical bolts. However, resin bolts do not depend solely upon anchorage at a single point because the resin forms a bond between the bolt and all of the surrounding strata.  Resin bolt systems have proven to be effective in many mine roof conditions where mechanical bolts have failed.  However, procedures differ somewhat as specified by the various resin manufacturers. Principle differences between resin manufacturers' procedures usually involve mixing time and the amount of time thrust is held on the assembly to permit setup.  Your resin supplier, and your service supervisor should be called in to assist in a safe transition from mechanical bolts to resin.  Drilling procedures provided previously apply to drilling for resin bolt installation. However, drill thrust and rotation torque must be set with relief limits within the mine tool suppliers recommendations.

The small diameter drill steels commonly used for resin installation are very easily buckled.  Drilling thrust for drilling the one inch resin hole is often lower than thrust required to push the resin bolt into the resin cartridges. Likewise, rotation torque for drilling is often less than the torque required for mixing the resin after the bolt is inserted.  Your service supervisor can assist in setting up your roof bolter so that resin hole drilling is done with the dual relief on. The dual relief (normally used for mechanical bolt installation) can be set for boom thrust and rotation torque limits corresponding to limits of your drilling tools.  When installing the resin bolt, turn the dual relief "OFF”. Higher boom thrust and rotation torque (provided by system relief settings) is then available for inserting the pin and then mixing the resin.

Following are general procedures for installing resin bolts. Specific instructions must be provided by your resin supplier.  After hole has been drilled, insert wrench in drill chuck.

IMPORTANT! Hole depth is very critical with resin bolts. The depth must be longer than the bolt but no more than 1 or 2 inches longer.

______________________________________________________________ A6474X298 REV 3 5.37

BI016420

Operation _______________________________________________________ IMPORTANT! The wrench used for resin bolt installation should be no longer than necessary to clear within the drill chuck, and the wrench surface must reach the roof line. The manufacturer recommends an overall wrench length of 12 inches.  Insert necessary resin cartridges into the hole.  Insert the resin bolt head into the wrench. It is helpful if the boom elevation is preset so that there is just enough clearance to insert the resin bolt. The upper end of the resin bolt is then positioned under the hole, and you can permit the resin cartridge to slip out of the hole and rest on top of the bolt.  Guide the bolt with one hand while slowly elevating the boom.

When the bolt end is started in the hole, release your hold on the bolt.  Push the bolt into the hole. Watch for any indication of bowing of the bolt which is a warning of buckling. If no bowing is observed, continue pushing the bolt to a point with the bearing plate 1/2”to 1” below the roof line. Center boom elevation control.  Rotate the bolt for fifteen to twenty seconds at about half rotation speed (200 to 250 RPM).  Stop rotation; push the bolt upward solid against the roof and hold for the time specified by the resin manufacturer.  Lower the boom; remove the wrench; turn dual relief to "ON”position ready for drilling the next hole.

CAUTION! Resin may cause skin irritation to some people. You might consider the use of long sleeve clothing, gloves, and a face shield in addition to safety glasses with side shields.

WARNING! A resin bolt, usually made from concrete reinforcing rod material, has projections along its length. These are required for efficient resin mixing and for an effective bond between the resin and the bolt. Under no circumstances attempt to hold a rotating bolt, severe injury or death could occur.

WARNING! Special care should be exercised when working with the bendable resin bolts used in low coal. Be sure to follow bolt and resin manufacturer's recommendations.

________________________________________________Hydraulic system Hydraulic system The following pages contain a brief description of the hydraulic components and assemblies that are on the roof bolter.

The hydraulic system for this machine has been designed to provide hydraulic power for the tram, steering, and drilling functions.

WARNING! This section is intended to familiarize the user with the hydraulic components of the roof bolter. All hydraulic maintenance should be preformed by a qualified technician with knowledge of the functions of the components involved.

WARNING! Never disconnect a hydraulic hose if the circuit it pressurized or if there is a load on the circuit. If a hose is disconnected while the circuit is pressurized, or when a load is on the circuit, the load will fall, resulting in damage to the machine or serious injury or death to you or other personnel. primary power source

All of the roof bolter's functions are hydraulically powered with the exception of lighting and dust collection (if equipped). This hydraulic power is supplied by a multiple section (tandem type) hydraulic pump.

The three stage pump is driven from the front end of the electric motor.

Dust collection blowers are belt driven and mounted at the back end of the electric motor.

tram system

The system uses four tram motors (one for each wheel) to drive the wheels through planetary reducers at a ratio of about 25:1 or 30:1. The front drive assemblies are mounted to the front chassis and include multiple disc parking brakes between the tram motors and reducers.

These brakes are applied by spring tension and released by hydraulic pressure. While pressure is present in the tram circuit (during tramming), the brakes are released: while pressure is absent (when parked or when drilling and bolting) the brakes are applied. The rear drive assemblies are mounted to the rear chassis and do not have parking brakes.

Flow limiters are used in the machine's tram circuits. One set of these limiters reduces wheel spin while allowing some differential action at each axle. The other set regulates flow through the inch tram circuit (providing a consistent slow speed).

steering system

The roof bolter is equipped with skid type steering and is controlled by two levers in the operator’ s compartment.

Hydraulic system_________________________________________________ drilling rotation

Rotational force for drilling is supplied by a gear motor. The motor is mounted directly to the drill box. The drill box serves to multiply torque while providing a chuck for driving the drill steel or a wrench. The torque available at the chuck is determined by hydraulic pressure to the rotation motor. A system of relief valves allows chuck torque to be varied to suit conditions. Drill chuck speed is determined by rate of hydraulic oil flow which can be controlled by the operator by means of the rotation flow control valve.

________________________________________Replacement of wear parts Tire/wheel installation procedure The following installation procedures are for general guidance when installing a tire/ wheel assembly (Fig. 65) on most underground mining machines. Any use made of the advisory information contained herein is entirely within the control and discretion of the user and is wholly voluntary.

Fig. 65: Tire/ wheel assembly

WARNING! Mixing parts of different design or from a variety of sources for wheels with pneumatic tires could cause severe injury or death. tire/wheel stresses

Rubber tired underground mining machinery is routinely subject to severe abuse due to the conditions in which it is operated. Whether a primary haulage or utility/support vehicle, all are subject to extreme shock, vibration, temperature change and various other loads and stresses that cause maintenance problems. One such problem is found in tire/wheel assemblies.

Many maintenance personnel view installing a tire/wheel assembly on a machine as a relatively simple task. However, if a few simple rules on proper installation are not followed, unnecessary difficulties may be experienced. Tires act like shock absorbers on haulage and support vehicles, transferring cushioned loads to the wheels. Even after proper installation, periodic checks need to be made to insure that tire/wheel assemblies do not loosen, causing wheel studs to break or damaging the mounting bolt pattern.

wheel mounting arrangements

Various mounting arrangements between the wheel and hub or wheel end are used by manufacturers. One of the more common is the taperlock. This arrangement requires a taper on both wheel and hub where the mating surfaces of the taper carry the loads. Incomplete seating of the taper will allow the wheel to loosen, resulting in stud or bolt shear and possible tire/wheel damage.

______________________________________________________________ A6474X298 REV 3 5.83

BI016420

Replacement of wear parts_________________________________________ Another mounting arrangement is based on holding a very close pilot fit where the tolerance between the wheel and hub is very tight, requiring a clamp-load force to hold the wheel securely in place. If the wheel studs or bolts are allowed to loosen, the load will be transmitted to them, resulting in sheared studs or bolts. problem areas

Periodic wheel inspection is critical to the life cycle of a tire/wheel assembly. A fractured wheel, broken bolt pattern and missing or broken wheel studs are all contributors to tire/wheel failures. Problems in these areas occur as the result of repeated cyclical loading as the tire/wheel unit rotates during machine travel. Haulage vehicles loaded unevenly, downhill hauls with high speed turns, or operating a vehicle with one tire of a dual assembly damaged or flat are some examples of conditions that produce damaging high stresses in wheel assemblies. Also, the effects of corroding or poorly fitted mating parts can produce surface irregularities that result in cracks and ultimate failure of a wheel.

A most common problem with tire/wheel installations is the incorrect tightening of wheel bolts or studs. Threaded fasteners perform there function of holding things together better when torque control is used in their tightening. Using an accurate torque wrench correctly is the best and most practical way of securing fasteners, Although torque value charts are available as a reference guide to proper tightening, OEM specifications should always be followed when tightening fasteners.

However, proper torque values are of little benefit if certain other factors are not considered.

wheel mounting tips

All fasteners should be examined before use. Any fastener that is worn, bent or has damaged threads should be replaced. Fastener threads should also be lightly coated with a protective substance, such as residual oils, wax or Loctite, because any oxidation or rust will upset the torque-to-tension relationship.

Mating surface conditions should also be considered. The tightening surface under the bolt or nut should be carefully inspected. A fastener, when tightened against a softer material, will gall under these conditions, and much of the applied torque may be lost through head friction.

It is very important when using higher strength fasteners to have a smooth, even surface under the bolt head. In some cases, hard flat washers and most lockwashers will provide a good tightening surface.

An other area of concern is cleanliness. All mating surfaces should be free of rust, dirt, oil, paint, etc. Also no paint of any kind should exist between a fastener and wheel disc surface. Any form of contamination between these surfaces will most likely lead to serious wheel problems.

WARNING! When torquing any wheel bolt pattern, always torque in a triangular pattern.

________________________________________________________________ 5.84 Model RB125 Roof Bolter

BI016420

________________________________________Replacement of wear parts Recommended wheel mounting procedures 

All steel mating surfaces must be free and clean of any dirt, corrosion, paint, etc. These areas include wheel/hub tapers and disc faces. NO PAINT should be present under bolt heads or nuts.



Fasteners should be in proper condition. Any fastener with damage, such as corrosion, bending or worn threads, should be replaced. Replace all broken wheel studs.



After positioning the wheel on the hub, tighten nuts down evenly.

Triangulate the bolt pattern tightening sequence as shown in the diagrams (Fig. 66 and 67).



After operating the machine for a short period of time, check the wheel-mounting bolts or nuts for proper torque.

IMPORTANT! Wheel bolts or nuts “seat in”during normal vehicle operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to repeat torquing procedures as necessary to seat the wheel to the hub. Planned periodic checks will help maintain correct torque values. All bolts and nuts, regardless of type, should be regularly checked for tightness.

Replacement of wear parts_________________________________________ PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Do not install or remove tire/wheel assemblies from a machine without proper training.

WARNING! Check wheel components periodically for cracks or broken parts.

Replace all cracked, badly worn, damaged or severely rusted components. When in doubt replace.

WARNING! Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to rework, weld, heat or braze any wheel components that are cracked, broken or damaged. Replace such components with new OEM parts of the correct size and type.

WARNING! Mixing wheel parts of different design or from a variety of sources is potentially dangerous.

WARNING! Replace broken studs and each unbroken stud next to the broken one.

WARNING! Replace all damaged wheel studs or bolts.

________________________________________________ Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures The following section lists possible problems encountered when servicing the roof bolter and can aid in locating and correcting these problems.

This section covers basic hydraulic components, with each listed in a trouble-cause-remedy format.

WARNING! Some procedures must be carried out with the cover of the electrical controller removed and some procedures require the controller to be energized during the tests. It is extremely important that you take all necessary precautions to prevent accidental electrical shock while working within the controller. An MSHA-certified electrician must supervise and inspect all work performed.

For maintenance procedures and tests that DO NOT require the controller to be energized, these precautions include:  1. Before removing the controller cover, remove power from the system by moving the machine circuit breaker, located at the power center, to the “OFF”position.  2. Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.  3. All connections must be tight and care must be taken to prevent bolts, nuts, washers and other small metal fasteners from being dropped or lost inside the controller. These lost fasteners could cause electrical shorts inside the controller.

For procedures that DO require that the controller be energized while the cover is off:  4. At no time should you reach inside the controller while it is energized. If it becomes necessary to make adjustments or to replace parts inside the controller, the machine circuit breaker must be in the “OFF”position. Once the circuit breaker is in the “OFF”position, adjustments or parts replacements can be made.  5. Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.  6. All connections must be tight and care must be taken to prevent bolts, nuts, washers and other small metal fasteners from being dropped or lost inside the controller. These lost fasteners could cause electrical shorts inside the controller.

WARNING! Never disconnect a hydraulic hose if the circuit is pressurized or there is a load on the circuit. If a hose is disconnected while the cylinder is supporting a load, the load will fall.

______________________________________________ Tightening torques Tightening torques IMPORTANT! Due to the application of fasteners being subject to great stresses and heavy or extreme vibration, it is imperative that all bolts be applied with an adequate amount of torque. For this reason this list of recommended torque settings for different types and sizes of fasteners used has been compiled.

The tightening torques stated in the spare parts lists have to be observed, as well, for installation and maintenance.

_______________________________________________ Permissible media Permissible media Lubrication fluids and greases NOTICE! Use only lubrication fluids and greases! These fluids and greases have been tested and guarantee reliable operation of the mechanical and hydraulic functions of the machine.

IMPORTANT! The lubrication fluids and greases listed in the same table can be mixed. Other products may only be used if the supplier can guarantee that they are equivalent.

Differently composed fluids and greases must not be mixed as this may change the consistency, i.e. the mixture can become thinner so that the lubrication effect is not sufficient. It may also be dangerous to use lubricating greases and fluids having the same specification base but different origins.

In case of doubt, the manufacturer of the lubrication to be used should be contacted as to the compatibility of the lubrication in question.

IMPORTANT! The approval of the listed products relates only to the pure technical use in our mechanical and hydraulic systems. The responsibility for the constituents used in the hydraulic concentrates lies solely with the respective manufacturer.

IMPORTANT! Be sure to use the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

NOTICE! When performing maintenance on the machine, all used oil and lubricants should be disposed of per your local EPA standards.
