General safety instructions
This drilling machine may not be used before the operator is fully educated by our sales agent
in handling the machine. It is the obligation of the buyer to make sure that the operator really
has received the information necessary to operate and take care of the machine in a correct
and safe way. Incorrect handling can lead to serious or even fatal injury to the operator and
persons in proximity to the machine.
Tractive AB is not responsible for damage on property or persons whether they originate from
incorrect handling or deficient maintenance or as a consequence from not checking the
machine for damage and/or defects before taking it into use.
The following safety instructions are important to know and follow:
•
General safety precautions means that all persons working with, or in the proximity to
the drilling machine should wear safety equipment, i.e. protection helmet, protection
shoes, gloves, eye and ear protectors. Other safety regulations at the work place must
be followed. The noice level at drilling might lead to permanent hearing disorders if not
ear guards are worn.
•
Always check that the equipment is in faultless condition and that all functions are in
order before work is commenced.
•
Warning! Never connect the hydraulic hoses to either drill unit or power pack while the
power pack is running. The power pack must be disconnected from the power supply
by removing the 32 or 63 Amp plug and cable from the power pack before any
hydraulic connections are made.
•
The power pack must always be switched off and the 32/63 Amp plug and cable
disconnected from the power pack before any kind of service is commenced, for
example filling of oil, oil change and filter replacement.
•
Mounting and dismounting of the drilling unit and drill bit may only take place when the
drill motor is disconnected from the power pack by removing the two large hydraulic
hoses from the drill unit.
•
To maintain the level of safety inherent in the design of this machine, only Tractive
original spare parts may be fitted. Tractive AB disclaims all responsibility for damages
occurring as a result of use of non original parts.
•
The power pack must only be operated when in an upright position.
•
The power pack is water-cooled and must be drained from water when the ambient
temperature is in the proximity of or below 0 degrees Celsius.
•
The electric motor of the power pack is water-cooled and the water pressure must
therefore be limited to max 5 bar. The incoming water supply may only be connected to
the lower connection on the power pack. The quick disconnect couplings may not be
replaced with couplings that are not fully open when disconnected.
