liquid is corrosive, please wear protective device in checking and repair accumulator. Only
professional people can complete it. Safety is the most important that operators should be
cared.
Never put metal between terminals to test accumulator charging status. It must be tested by
voltage mater or hydrometer.
Never charge freezing accumulator, otherwise, which will lead to explosion.

Warning!!!
Forbid fire or flame and welding close to the battery. You would bear all responsibility if do not follow
safety rules and warning.

1.19 PREVENTING INHALATION OF ASBESTOS DUST


Prevent inhaling possible asbestos dust. The asbestos fiber may cause lung cancer。

Some seals contain asbestos fiber. In these components, normally, the asbestos is in the resin
or kept closed. If the asbestos containing parts don’t cause dust, there isn’t any danger in
normal disposal.

In order to prevent dust, don’t clean with compressed air, and avoid brushing and grinding
asbestos-contained materials. In maintenance work, wear regulated respirator, and use a
special dust collector to clean asbestos. If dust collector is not available, use a little oil or
water to damp the asbestos-contained material. Comply with working area rules and asbestos
disposal rules. Keep other people from entering in working area.

1.20 BEWARE HIGH PRESSURE LIQUID


Liquids in high pressure can penetrate through skin, causing GBH.
Release pressure before disconnecting any pipes to avoid the danger.
Operate control lever many times to release pressure.
Before pressurizing, tighten all the connections.
Inspect leakage with cardboard. Pay attention to protect your hand and body.
If accident occurs, see a doctor at once.
Any liquid penetrating the skin must be cleaned within a few hours, otherwise it will cause
tissue decay.
1.21 AVOIDING HEATING NEAR PRESSURE OIL PIPES
To prevent severe burns, do not weld or flame cut near pressured oil pipe or other flammable
materials.

A temporary fireproof protection cover should be provided when welding, flame cutting or gas
welding taking place.

4 MAIN STRUCTURAL FEATURES

See Fig 3-1 for machine structure. Main components: under-carriage (frame and crawler travel
system), upper-carriage (Swing platform, main winch, service winch etc.), luffing system, drill
mast, rotary head, Kelly bar, drill tool, cabin, hydraulic system, electrical system etc.
Basic Function and Theory:
Upper-carriage drill work and under-carriage traveling are the main functions for the machine
and the two functions can complete interlock through control system.
When in traveling, engine drives hydraulic pump,high pressure oil passing through main valve,
center swing joint enters travel motor and drives traveling planetary to complete crawlers move
forward/backward, left/right and stop.
Crawlers extend and retract, mast up/down, rotary head pressurization are all driven by related
hydraulic cylinders through control valves.
Kelly bar rotation, main/auxiliary winches lifting and Swing platform slewing utilizes
planetary driven by related hydraulic cylinders through control valves.
Rotary head drives motor and makes Kelly bar rotate, supplying oil to forcing cylinder,
completing drill under rotary head vertical downward pressure.
Total drilling depth and depth of each pass are displayed in the virtual digital display which is
convenient for operator monitoring drill depth.
For transportation, the mast can be boomed down with Kelly bar and Kelly bar bracket
detached. With the cathead and lower mast folded and crawlers retracted, the drilling rig can
move onto tractor and the counterweight can be removed if road condition does not permit.

4.1 UNDERCARRIAGE

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

Frame base is box-type welding structure and two main beams are controlled by hydraulic
cylinder to change crawler gauge. Before work, extend crawler to ensure drilling stability;
retract crawler before shipping to ensure proper shipping width.
Important:Make sure pin shafts in limit link rod of intermediate frame and two main beams are fitted
correctly before extending and retracting crawler before work and shipping.

Crawler travel system (see fig 4-2) is composed of guide wheel, tension device, crawler
assembly, carrier roller, track roller, drive wheel, travel reductor etc. Crawler regulating system
keeps its tension by using high pressure lubricant. Hydraulic system controls travel system to
complete moving forward/backward, left/right, turning etc.

6)Power consumption:24V.DC

7)Power consumption: <3 KW

8)Working environment: -25℃~65℃ 20%~90% (Relative humidity)

1. Operating principle of air conditioning:


The compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into the refrigerant gas of high temperature

and high pressure, then the refrigerant gas is discharged into the condenser from the

compressor nozzle, and cools down to become the liquid, then flow to the reservoir. High

temperature and high pressure of the refrigerant liquid is flowed into the evaporator after dry

filter within the reservoir, after expansion valve throttling depressurization, become the low

temperature and low pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then be inhaled from the low pressure

intake pipe, it is a constant cycle. Evaporator continuously absorbs heat to send cold air to the

cab, attaining the effect of refrigeration.(as FIG. 4-7)


Heating: Hot water in engine is guided into the evaporator element, on which the cold air is
sent by fan continuously, and then change with hot water, making cold air into hot one. And
the hot air is blown into cab through air pipe of the air conditioner. Above circulation is
repeated continuously, so as to heat.(as FIG. 4-8)

4.4 LUFFING MECHANISM AND DRILL MAST

The luffing mechanism is composed of arms, tripod, link rod and luffing cylinders (Fig 4-10).

Luffing uses two-grade cylinders, boom luffing cylinder controls the angle of arms, the mast
tilting cylinders adjusts mast verticality. The mast can tilt 5 degree left/right; 5 degree forward.

The box type drill mast is composed of three sections; each section is fit slide rail. Rotary head
and following frame moves up and down in slide rail. The upper cathead section and the lower
drill mast section can be automatically folded /unfolded, It can complete self-load/unload by its
own power and structure without crane, for example, lower section drill mast can finish
self-load and unload in mast vertical mode(see fig 4-11). Pulley is mounted in the upper
cathead, and steel rope of main/service winch passes through the pulley.

fitting. Otherwise, service stabilizer makes crawler maintenance safety and convenience.
Rotate the drill mast 90°and raise one side of the crawlers (see fig 4-13).

Fig 4-12 Fig 4-13

4.6 ROTARY HEAD

See Fig 4-14. Rotary head is mainly composed of


sliding frame and gyrator. Sliding frame is used to
support gyrator to make it move in sliding rail and
transfer force; gyrator is mainly composed of two
hydraulic motors、planetary, drive gear, gear box and
drive sleeve etc. The working theory is that the driving
sleeve drives the kelly bar to rotate after speed is
reduced by driving gear and speed reducer. The first
stage lubrication of the gear box adopts circulation
lubrication and the second stage lubrication adopts
oil-bath lubrication. Planetary is imported. When
spinning-off is required, it can exchange rotary head Fig 4-14
or jerk in high speed. The driving sleeve has
rectangle teeth and rotates with the kelly bar when they are engaged the control system is a
variable pump, variable motor system and it can automatically adjust its speed and torque
(power load sensing) according to different soil condition.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

5.4 OIL FILTER

Assemble oil filter in the hydraulic oil circuit to filter the impurity from oil, keep hydraulic oil
cleanly. It is important step to protect hydraulic component normally run and increase its
service life. When the filter have been obstructed to certain degree ,it will alarm to remind
customer clean or change filter in time, to protect hydraulic system.

When replacing filter core, twist off air filter in oil tank, dismount top cover in oil filter, pull
filter drum and filter core out from oil filter, then take old filter core out and clean filter drum
and fit new filter core, reassemble filter drum and filter core, and fit top cover and air filter.

Attention: Before taking out filter drum,it cannot pull oil filter core out to prevent
impurity enter oil tank.

Assemble high pressure oil filter at the out port of pilot pump, ensure pilot oil system cleanly
and work normally.

5.5 HYDRAULIC OIL

Hydraulic oil is the working medium to pass the energy and action within the hydraulic system.
It is high pressure hydraulic system for our machine with high precision hydraulic components.
Thus, it is required for the hydraulic oil to be not only high quality such as anti-wear property,
viscosity, viscosity-temperature index number etc, but also high cleanliness. Any impurity as
dirt, water etc. entering the hydraulic oil would lead to serious consequence even destroying of
entire hydraulic system.

Our machine uses YB-N68 hydraulic oil. In different weather, different hydraulic oil may be
used. For new machine, the hydraulic oil shall be drawn out for filtration after 100 work hours.
Later on, make the hydraulic oil filtered every 500 work hours and replace the oil return filter
on the top of oil tank at the same time, replace hydraulic oil and filters every 2000 work hours.
During filling or replacing, keep hydraulic oil according with the standard: IS04606
17/14-18/15 or NAS1638 level 8—level 9.

★★★Special Attention:Oil pump, motor, cylinder, balance valve, multiple unit valve are very
important and sophisticated, the parameters are debugged elaborately after test by our
company. So dismantling or debugging should be carried under authorization from the sale
Dep. of our company or performed by our service engineer, otherwise we are not responsible
for any serious consequence.

7.4.2 Drill Tools Selection

In construction, choose different drill tools base on due soil condition, which can advance work
efficiency and save cost. Main drill tools features and suitable stratum are showed in table 4-1.
Confirm bit diameter according to construction drawing. Normally, bit diameter is smaller
1cm~2cm than hole diameter.

7.4.3 Hole Opening and Barrel Installation

1. Measuring

Measure and calculate for the construction piles layout drawing by theodolite or laser distance
measuring meter and ranging rod according to pre-setting red line points and direction. Use
polar coordinate to calculate angle and distance. Use altometer and ranging rod to confirm pile
location in site.

2. Rig positioning

Drive rig in pile side,aim bit top to pile location mark. If possible, maximum retract mast, and
check whether existing barrier in swing radius.

3. Hole opening

After aiming hole location, use reamer bit to drill hole, hole diameter should match barrel.

4. Barrel installation

Use main winch and stabilizer to install barrel, and also can fit barrel driver to install it. Use
95
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

main and service winch to pull up barrel. But when it is difficult to lower/pull up barrel by
above mentioned method, please use special equipment to do it. Such as rubbing machine,
vibrator hammer etc.

Special Note:When use stabilizer and rotary head to press down barrel, operate slowly;
Do not use winch emergency stop to attack barrel which will badly damage machine.

When open hole to suitable depth, use service winch to move barrel to hole location, then use
bucket and service stabilizer to press barrel into ground. It should keep barrel pressed vertically,
barrel surrounding is fully filled soil. Confirm barrel length and embedded depth according to
soil condition and underground water condition. In normal,barrel diameter is bigger 20cm than
pile diameter.

7.4.4 Drilling

Caution:During the construction, it is strictly forbidden to open the engine hood!!

There are following common drill tools for rotary drilling machine:
1. Short auger drilling

Push “Move/Work” to Work, push right joystick to left and make rotary head clockwise
rotation; press down winch free suspension switch to make main winch free fall. Push right
joystick to left front tilt and make pressurized cylinder down for machine drilling.
Special attention:No free fall is permitted if machine is not in drilling process.

Drilling depth of each pass will be displayed on the LCD monitor.

1) Control right joystick to make rotary head anti-clockwise rotation; the kelly bar and rotary
head sleeve disengage.

2) Control left joystick to make main winch lift Kelly bar; control right joystick at the same
time to retract pressurized cylinder and rotary head can raise. Fast lifting can be used for saving
time.

3) After short auger up, control left joystick to make upper-carriage swing to crawler side,
control right joystick and press down button SB5 to make rotary head rotate fast and spin-off.
Special Note:Generally, it is better do not use winch emergency stop to vibrate and unload soil, which will
badly effect winch and steel wire rope service life, even lead to rope break and accident occur.

4) Swing platform anti-clockwise rotate to original position after spinning-off. Operate left
joystick to lower main winch to the position of last hole depth 1 meter.(Attention:Do not use

Free Fall to lower kelly bar)

5) Repeat above procedure to complete drill, soil catching, drill tool hoisting, spin-off, return &
lowering.

6)Clean hole after drilling to due depth and protect hole port。

Pay attention during drilling process:


96
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

●Keep kelly bar vertical and in correct position. Keep kelly bar from wobbling.

●When lowering kelly bar, pay attention to the corresponding relation of falling depth and the
extension of each section kelly bar in order to prevent accidents from “rod lock”, “rod
wobbling” and “rod cracking”.

●Drill slowly at the beginning, speed up after auger goes inside soil; slow down when drilling
soft-hard soil junction layer.

●Handle with soil near hole port and barrel in time, an abnormality like high ground water
level, hole collapse or hole shrinking happen should be discussed and treated..

●Do not push to drill when clean hole; do not rotate drilling tool when pulling drilling tool up.

●Before lifting Kelly bar, anti-clockwise rotate rotary head to delete occlusion because of
torque transferring .During kelly bar hoisting, check corresponding relation of lifting depth and
each section Kelly bar retraction order to prevent “rod lock”, “rod cracking”.
2. Rotary bucket

1) Install barrel. Barrel imbedded length is based on soil condition and water table level. Barrel
diameter should be bigger 20cm than pile diameter

2) Normally use stabilizing liquid (mainly composed of bentonite) to prevent hole wall from
collapse.

3)Bucket operation is the same as short auger drilling,except discharging soil, lifting bit to
rotary head lower baffle plate, strike lower baffle plate to open rotary bucket base cover,
spin-off by swing emergency stop.

Special Note:Generally, it is better do not use winch emergency stop to vibrate and
unload soil, which will badly effect winch and steel wire rope service life, even lead to
rope break and accident occur.

4) Put down the drilling bucket on the ground quickly after dumped, enable the drilling bucket
bottom plate closed by opening mechanism reacted.

5) Repeat above procedure until reach to the design depth or need change bit.
Attention:

 It may use stabilizing liquid instead of barrel when drilling in normal soil layer。

 Prepare some stabilizing liquid for drilling hole, the ratio according to soil condition, N
value, drilling dia. and water level and so on.

 Confirm water level condition, testing piles.

 Remove slurry and stabilizing liquid mixture in hole bottom after hole drilling.

 When drill in the layer without underground water, it can be compacted by hammer or
fill cement and mix it with hole bottom less settlement.

 When lowering Kelly bar, pay attention to the corresponding relation of falling depth
and each section Kelly bar extension order to prevent “rod lock”, “rod wobbling” and
97
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

“rod cracking”.

 Before lifting Kelly bar, anti-clockwise rotate rotary head to delete occlusion because of
torque transferring .During kelly bar hoisting, check corresponding relation of lifting
depth and each section Kelly bar retraction order to prevent “rod lock”, “rod cracking”.

3. Core Drill

1) Drilling procedure is the same as short auger.

2) Pay attention to drilling speed and pressure; keep kelly bar from jumping up and down.

3) Slow down drilling with low pressure before core barrel enters rock; increase speed and
pressure when core barrel enters rock layer.

4) Slow speed with low pressure to prevent core barrel from sliding when inclined rock face is
encountered. Crooked hole may break kelly bar.

7.4.5 Machine Relocation

After drilling one hole, it needs to move machine to next ready pile hole. It should check the
ground status between two holes to prevent mushy road, collapse and cross tilt angle over 5°
ground. After moving, repeat above mention drilling procedure.

7.4.6 LCD Monitor, Warning Icon

Check LCD monitor and alarm warning icons during machine work. Take necessary measures
when alarm beeps.

Attention: When Alarm icons in Fig 6-6, 6-7 turn red or flash, please check the machine.

1) When 1 # icon turns red, it means the engine oil pressure is low. Do not start engine before
the problem is eliminated.

2) When 2# icon turns red, it means the coolant temperature is too high. Slow down until the
coolant temperature drops down. Or stop engine.

8. KELLY AND DRILLING TOOLS

8.1 KELLY

8.1.1 Introduction of Kelly

Telescopic Kelly is to lift or lower the drill bit, drill and dump by the extension and retraction
of itself. This way reduces assistant working time and improves drilling efficiency. It mainly
consists of two to six sections, including following structure: junction pin shaft, spring seat,
cushion spring, outlet pan, outer arc plate, drive sleeve, outer key bar, steel pipe, O-ring,
positioning ring, shock absorbing parts, center flange, triangle plate, top end flange and flat
head. For a machine-lock kelly, pressure table and inclined plate are included. (as following
figure)
During drilling, Kelly delivers swing torque and axial pressure to the drill bit.
Kelly bear the compound stress, such as pull, press, twist and bend. According to different
axial pressure and structure features, there are two kinds of Kelly, machine-lock Kelly and
friction Kelly.
Friction Kelly delivers swing torque by outer key and inner spline. When key is pressed
tightly on the side to deliver swing torque, the friction is transmitted to crowd cylinder or
crowd winch via the pressure enforced by rotary head. The characteristics of friction kelly is
that simple structure, easy operation and less strength transmission, besides, it’s one more
section than the machine-lock kelly, and deeper drilling.
Machine-lock Kelly meets for the requirements of large torque and large axial pressure. It can
deliver strong axial pressure via crowd steps. It features in more suitable for drilling into hard
layer comparing with friction Kelly. Meanwhile, the more sections the harder operation and the
higher requirements for the operator.
The Kelly rotation and downward pressing of rotary drilling rig is driven by inner spline,
which is adopted quick-change technology with patent, besides, its material is matched with
the pressurized block. The rotary head inner spline and kelly have long service life, thus, low
cost.
Sections among Kelly deliver torque and axial pressure via inner and outer spline by layers.
Each section of machine-lock Kelly has 3 to 5 pressure steps, for which position in the hole,
the operator should remember, in this case, improving the working efficiency.
Below figure is the illustration of shape and parts of normal machine-lock Kelly.

8.1.2 Correct Model Selection for Kelly

Below figure is the relation of Kelly and depth and weight of main frame, please choose
carefully.
Select main frame model according to the working conditions.
Select section quantity according to construction depth. The less Kelly sections, the more
strength, the lighter weight, thus, save fuel.

8.1.3 Correct Operation of Kelly

8.1.3.1 Correct Operation

Before working, follwing procedures should be done, check, install, lift, cross, assemble, adjust,
align, lower, find and retract.

Check: check construction ground for main frame, if the ground is soft, cushion thick steel
plate on the ground.

Install: install servo-frame and elevator.

Aim the slewing bearing of servo-frame at the flange on the top end of Kelly and insert into
bolts with the tightening torque standard refer to “Rotary Drilling Rig Operation &
Maintenance Manuual”, tighten the mounting bolts of slewing bearing once every 50 hours or
every week.

Pay attention to not leave bolt spacer in the Kelly when assembly and disassembly, failure to
comply may result in Kelly stuck or follow.
Before work every day, visually check mounting bolts on the slewing bearing of servo-frame
for looseness or loss, if found, repair that first.
Lift:lift the kelly, pay attention to the inclination direction , which should be adjusted to
vertical with the ground to avoid the deformation of Kelly caused by the leader while lifting.
Meanwhile, ensure that servo-frame aims at the mast sliding track.
Cross:Aim the Kelly with rotary head, buckle the servo-frame to the sliding track of upper
mast, and rotate Kelly to the same direction of rotary head inner spline and cross through
Kelly.
114
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

Assemble:Assemble with the kelly, plug the pin shaft and lock.
Adjust:Adjust mast to vertical with ground, put drill bit on the ground with pressure, observe
perpendicularity display, and adjust the mast cylinder till the pointer aiming at the scale. If not
adjust perpendicularity before piling, the Kelly will bearing force at the inclined status for a
long time, it’s easy to result in inclined pile hole, broken spline bar or pipe casing crack
extending to Kelly breakage. Thus, mast perpendicularity should be adjusted before piling to
ensure Kelly in the center position of rotary head.
Aim:aim Kelly at the barrel center.
Lower:lower rear main winch rope, and then lower Kelly section from outer to inner
successively, observe the display distance and decrease the lowering speed till 3 meter to the
hole bottom, not colliding drill bucket with the hole bottom.
Find:After drill bit touches with the bottom, lift and rotate rotary head anticlockwise slowly to
adjust the height, then find pressure steps, and rotate it clockwise making inner spline of every
section entering into the range of pressure steps, press it down and lock, at last rotate rotary
head clockwise downward to drill.
Retract:After grabbing soil, keep the drill bucket close to the bottom surface and lift and
rotate rotary head clockwise at small range, then rotate anticlockwise to separate pressure table
and drive sleeve inner spline of each layer, making the inner spline entering into the sliding
groove of Kelly and close the bucket, confirm unlock completely, keep rotary head
anticlockwise rotation, lift main winch, at last retract the core bar. When retracting each section
completely, the disc always collide with the end surface of the drive sleeve slightly, causing
slight nodding to the rotary drilling rig, and winch tension increase in a sudden then back to
stable, thus, the operator should be familiar with that nodding depth.

8.1.3.2 Ten Forbidden Operation

One:It’s forbidden to operate ignoring the abnormal conditions on the working site.
If any abnormality is found, stop work at once to check problem, avoiding accidents in the hole.
The serious accident is to smash the Kelly caused by Kelly following.
Two: It’s forbidden to refit Kelly.
It’s forbidden to operate baking, spot welding, welding and grinding freely by non-professional
personnel.
Three: It’s forbidden to pressurize the machine-lock Kelly freely at any position and use it as a
friction Kelly.
Pressurize the Kelly directly without finding pressure point, this will result in the abrasion,
stuck or rolling spline for the Kelly caused by too much pressure with small contacting area on
the pressure side surface or inclined plate.
Four: It’s forbidden to tilt the front end of track and mast rearward.

115
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

The front end of track tilt when drilling, that will not increase any effective pressure but
increase lateral force to the Kelly and lead to crack and even breakage. Any problem is found,
release the pressure at once replacing with intermittent pressure.
Five: It’s forbidden to loosen main winch excessively.
If main winch rope is loosened excessively, the elevator will fall. After Kelly rotates, elevator
and flat head will deform and break, even cut off the wire rope.
Six: It’s forbidden to place rotary head too high or too low when throwing soil.
Rotary head too low will cause incomplete contact of inner spline and Kelly key bar on which
impact increased partly and leading the crack of key bar or lower pipe.
Rotary head too high will cause excessive impact for outer lower crowd block while throwing
soil breaking Kelly and damaging rotary head.
Seven: It’s forbidden to use the Kelly to press pile casing, stir soil, and mix slurry.
Because these operations may make Kelly core bar to bear force partly, resulting in the crack
or break-off near the junction position of square head and core bar steel pipe.
Eight: It’s forbidden to operate with unsuitable Kelly and drill bit.
An open bucket (two half bucket) should be used when the hole diameter is small or soil
viscidity is high. The type of Kelly is precise for a small piling hole. Thus, it’s forbidden to
install a small drill bit onto the Kelly resulting in outer Kelly scratching on the hole wall.
Nine: It’s forbidden to drill too deep with a single bucket.
For a piling hole with small diameter or a auger bit, too deep drilling over than spring seat may
result in Kelly stuck caused by soil squeezed into the gap for a long time.
Ten: It’s forbidden to swing the upper-carriage with the bucket door open.
Avoid the crack, deformation and break-off caused by the collision of track and bucket door.

8.1.3.3 Cause and Prevention for Followed and Smashed Kelly

Followed Kelly:
When retraction, the fourth section retracts completely, collide and nod, at this moment
somewhere of the third section stuck at the second section which is driven to move up in
advance, this is called as followed Kelly. At this time, nodding also happens. If followed Kelly
is not found at once and lifted to a certain height, the stuck position will be loosened caused by
shock or collision, the second Kelly will be dropped to collide the disc or on the inner spline of
the first section drive sleeve, this is called as smashed Kelly, which may result in positioning
ring damage, bulge of drive sleeve, Kelly lock, rotary head falling and even Kelly falling into
the hole caused by rope breakoff.
Prevention Measurements
1. Operator should know the crowd length of outer rod of Kelly and inner rod of each section,
116
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

remember the piling depth for the position of pressurization and machine nodding depth caused
by lifted disc colliding with drive sleeve of each section.
2. When nodding at abnormal depth, operator should lift rotary head slowly till fitting with the
Kelly absorber to prevent rotary head falling down, and then rotate anticlockwise to lower the
Kelly and loosen it out completely, and retract the Kelly again.
Causes of Followed Kelly:
1. Kelly bend caused by various reasons.
2. Inclined piling hole
3. Tiny sediment in the Kelly
4. Collision of edge curl in the Kelly and inner wall of steel pipe
5. Lift before confirmation of complete unlocking and no continuous anticlockwise rotation
during lifting
Lift while keeping rotation anticlockwise: While lifting, negative pressure is easy to form on
the hole bottom or drill bucket collides with the hole wall, thus, causing Kelly rotates
clockwise at small extent. If it’s right on the pressure area, the inclined key bar will be
withstood by the drive sleeve inner spline and leading to Kelly lifted in advance.

8.1.4 Kelly Disassembly

Disassembly:
1. Place the Kelly on the crosstie.
2. Remove bolts on the clamp plate, separate the plate and pull out the core pin set ring, clean
out small parts, such as nut spacer, don’t leave them in the Kelly.
3. Insert a pin shaft ( diameter 25) into the Kelly drive sleeve and fix the 1st, 2nd and 3rd section
Kelly.
4. Reeve wire rope through Kelly square head and install bucket teeth on two ends of the rope.
5. Travel excavator rearward to pull out the core bar.
6. Withstand the 3rd drive sleeve with one end of a rebar, and the other end is withstood by the
excavator, and then push the 3rd section of Kelly for half a meter to one meter with the bucket.
7. Twine the set ring with a cotton tape and drag out with the excavator.
8. Use above same procedures for the 2nd section.
9. Don’t place the parts of Kelly freely after disassembly to avoid damaged or buried while
taking out.

8.1.5 Maintenance for Kelly

Maintenance can help users to find problem in advance, reducing the possibility occur in the
operation. It’s really an effective measure for ensuring construction efficiency.
After Kelly has been used for 50 hours or piled for 150m, please disassemble it to take the
initial maintenance. After used for 200 hours, take the maintenance for the second time, and
after that maintain it once every 500 hours. Any abnormal is found during operation, stop
working at once and disassemble the Kelly to repair. Besides, maintenance should be done
after changing the working site.

119
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

Nine Rules for Maintenance and Inspection:


1. Check key bar, crowd block, lower end of drive sleeve for burr, edge curl and grind it
smooth.
2. Check end surface of drive head for abrasion and grind it smooth.
3. Check movable disc for unsmooth abrasion and weld in time or change with a new one.
4. Replace the spring with spot-welding, defects or breakage at once.
5. Check Kelly section surface for crack, if found, stop work at once and ask professional
personnel to repair that.
6. Check Kelly section key bar or steel pipe surface for scratch or abrasion, if found, stop work
at once and ask professional personnel to repair that.
7. Check and tighten servo-frame and bolts at the connection place of shock-reducing rubber.
8. Check whether the drill bit is matched with machine Kelly, and repair or change drill bit in
time.
9. Change lower briquetting of rotary head.

8.1.6 Requirements of Long-time Storage and Transport for Kelly

1. When the Kelly is stored for a long time, wide firm level ground is needed, on which three
crossties should be padded. Don’t allow to place it on the ground directly. Don’t keep it
together with soil slag, broken stone and other tiny objects. Don’t place it in wet area, such as
in water.
2. After working in alkaline slurry, seawater and clay, wash the Kelly with plenty of clean
water before long-time storage, disassemble it to dry, then assemble to avoid corrosion or stuck.
If the Kelly have been used in the seawater, check each Kelly section surface before reuse,
polish its surface to avoid breakage caused by shocking tiny crack during construction and
resulting in Kelly breakage accident.
3. It’s forbidden to place the servo-frame vertically for a long time, this may result in the
suspension of Kelly middle part, and Kelly deformation caused by the long-time effect of
gravity.
4. When transport, the Kelly should be placed on the crosstie, with anti-extend device installed
on the flat head, and then tied down to avoid accidents caused by Kelly across the machine
body.

8.1.7 After-Sale Service Code for Kelly

After-sale deadline: effective time starts from the shipping day, repair or change according to
the serial number on the Kelly nameplate.
1.Within 2000 hours or one year since the day of purchase (whichever comes first), the Kelly
should be repaired without charge when it can be operated normally but with function failures.
120
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

2. For non-standard Kelly (as below table), within 2000 hours or one year since the day of

8.1.8 Simple Repair Technology for Kelly

Purpose: make sure there’s repair value ad corresponding repair technology for Kelly
according to criteria.
Range:This guideline specifies the repair value and corresponding repair technology.
Preparation:Assemble the second-hand Kelly to wash it with clean water. If it’s stuck, please
check any sand or foreign objects for clogging and Kelly locking.
1. Silt clogging: wash with clean water, and take out after it’s soften.
2. Impurity jamming: find out the jamming position, make a gas-cut tetragon at the pipe wall
position, and take out. If it’s hard to find, create a gas-cut ring at drive sleeve and inspect.
3. Kelly locking: check steel pipe outer wall for deformation, do a gas-cutting at the
deformation position.
4. Wash each section of Kelly to ensure its surface can be seen clearly for easy analysis.
Criteria Judgment for Kelly Repair Value
Discard Criteria
1. Whole Kelly twist and deformation.
2. Too much spline crack on the whole Kelly, the length of new steel pipe is also as the same as
the original size.
3. The use time is too long, the value of parts required to be changed, is almost 80% of the new
manufacturing ones.
Repairable Criteria:
Each section of Kelly can be repaired at one or two positions at most to ensure the use. The
repair cost is less than the sale value after remanufacturing.
Methods of Repair Technology
Square-head repair:
1.Connect 1.5m steel pipe at square head for gas cutting, cut spline at surplus place for
180mm-250mm to make every it form 45 bevel edge, mutually staggered, not damaging the
steel pipe, polish that after gas-cutting.
2. Determine whether the square head can be used repeatedly, if OK, gouge square head and
steel pipe welding groove, and polish to shine.
3. Cover the square head on the spring seat to connect 1.5m new steel pipe, open grooves on
two end of new pipe to guarantee the same axial less than 1.5mm, do that according to the heat
preservation requirements for preheating and welding.
4. Install spring-stiffened arc plate and do that according to the heat preservation requirements
for preheating and welding.
5. Measure the length of key bar which required to be arranged, weld that completely,
remembering that welding should be done one step by one step. After welding, polish the
122
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

groove to avoid interference.


Positioning ring repair:
1. Do gas-cutting for the positioning ring, and remove the damaged part without breaking the
steel pipe and polish it to shine.
2. If it’s a structure of two positioning rings, do ring gas-cutting on the steel pipe between two
rings, and then install the new positioning ring.
3. Mount the new part, don’t weld the O-ring, which is a movable part, weld the kidney slot of
the positioning ring together with the other side.
4. If the steel pipe has been cut with gas, it should be weld together again for the same axial
less than 1.5mm.
Repair for the crack of Kelly center pressurized block or inclined plate:
1. Find the crack position to determine whether the steel pipe body is damaged.
2. If the crack doesn’t damage the pipe body, change or weld on the spline or pressurized block
directly.
3. If the crack damage the pipe body but the distance is not over than 1/5 circle, the operation
should be done skillful professional personnel. Figure out the crack source on two ends,
eliminate the crack source completely, repair the crack into a V-shaped groove, and then weld it
again and polish the surface.
4. The middle part of steel pipe and accessories should be changed if the crack is too long, cut
the damaged part with gas and weld it.
Repair of Kelly Drive Sleeve
1.If the end surface is uneven, rub it down to flat.
2. If then end surface is too rough, cut it with gas into a plane, open a ring groove, and then
weld it with a special part for drive sleeve end surface.
3. Change the drive sleeve and arc plate spline if it’s damaged severely.

Note:

 When handling the wire rope, it’s possible to be hurt by broken part, thus, gloves
should be put on as an protective measure.
 Much attention should be paid for maintenance, inspection and installation. Be
careful not to be involved in or pinched.
Wire rope is a quick-wear and vital part of the drilling rig. Correct selection, reasonable
use and regular maintenance as required can extend the service life and avoid accidents.
The type of wire rope should be specified by SUNWARD when changing wire ropes for
147
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

the main winch and auxiliary winch, any problem caused by failure to comply, that
SUNWARD will not take any responsibility.
 Regular inspection should include following aspects:
 State regulatory requirements.
 Equipment work level.
 Previous test results and problem.
 Used time of wire rope.
 Much attention should be paid to following parts:
 Beginning and end for wire rope movable and fixed part
 Strands on rope sheave
 Rope sections may be abraded by some factors.
 Check the location of wire rope for secure.
 Check joint nearby for broken strand, crack and wire rope diameter.
 Visual inspect the overall length of wire rope for damage and deformation. When
broken wire, abrasion, corrosion and deformation is found, determine whether it’s
discarded or not in accordance with “GB/T5972 Inspection and Discard Regulation
for Wire Rope used by Crane Machinery”.
 Inspect the section of wire rope which is draw forth from the fixed end, the fixed
device for deformation or abrasion, and internal and rope end for broken wire or
corrosion, meanwhile, ensure wedge joints and rope clamp are secure (dismountable
device: wedge joint, rope clamp, press plate and etc.).
 Check rope end device for requirements of related standard, visual inspect joint for
broken wire, if found near or in the rope end device, shorten the wire rope and then
install it onto the fixed device. Keep in mind that the length of wire rope should long
enough to wind on the drum at least for 1.5 to 2 circles, normally 3 circles.

9.3.7 Discard Criteria of Wire Rope

Following rules should be observed to determine the problem of wire rope:

 The wire rope without load is straight, with load is twisted: the problem of wire rope.
 The wire rope with load is straight, without load is twisted: the problem of the
machine.
 Generally, the serious damaged section is only the shorter part after the first layer and
the second layer of wire rope wind together on the drum. The left part of wire rope is
OK to use, though, the whole rope should be discarded.
 Determine to discard the wire rope according to the broken wire, abrasion and
corrosion, replace the rope immediately if one of following conditions occurs.

148
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

FIG. 9-3-7 broken wire

 Broken wire exists most within the rope range of 6d (d for wire rope diameter).
 Broken wire occurs after used for a while and increase gradually, the wire rope should
be discarded in time according to the criteria.
 The whole strand of wire rope is broken.
 Rope diameter is decreased by damaged rope core.
 Determine to discard the wire rope according to the criteria, such as reduction in rope
elasticity etc.
 When the outer layer of wire rope has been abraded for 40% of rope diameter, the
diameter has reduced 7% or more.

FIG. 9-3-8 deformation

 Various deformation of wire rope.


 Determine to discard the wire rope according to the criteria, such as reduction in rope

increased rope diameter.

149
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

9.3.8 Wire Rope Maintenance

 Clean up mud on the wire rope after work to avoid corrosion.


 Lubricate the wire rope frequently during use, especially the bended part.
 Shorten the lubrication interval of wire rope when used in the corrosive environment.
 The type of lubricating grease should be recommended by the wire rope
manufacturer.
 Choose lubricating grease which is as the same as the one recommended by the wire
rope manufacturer.
 Lubrication methods include: apply with a brush or a grease gun.
 Only lubricated by a grease gun can penetrate the grease into the gap of the wire rope
at the greatest extend.
 Wash the wire rope regularly, especially used in a corrosive or chemical environment.
 If broken wire is found during inspection, it should be cut to prevent damage wire
nearby when reeving a sheave.
 The best method to remove broken wire is to bend wire rope forward and rearward till
the wire break in the gap of two strands.

Note:

 In some occasion, fatigue is the main cause of a damaged wire rope. Even if no
defective part can be found on the appearance, maybe internal broken wire exists.
Above inspection is qualified, and it’s the replacement time, so change the wire rope
with a new one.
 When discarding a wire rope, figure out whether the damage is caused by the
mechanism, eliminate these defects before changing a new wire rope.

9.3.9 Check Swivel Joint for Flexibility

Check swivel joint for flexibility before or after work every day. A swivel joint with good

difficulty in erecting mast caused by gravity rearward, or rotary head slipping out caused by
rearward inclination.
2)Turn main winch to loose the end of wire rope linked with swivel joint rotating the swivel
joint freely. During the turning process, keep the wire rope with proper tension to avoid rope
disturbing for the main winch.
3)Secure one end and turn the other, if turning freely, the performance is good. After the swivel
joint is greased, it still doesn’t turn, repair or change it.
Note:
During operation, after swivel joint is lifted out from the drilling hole, it always rotates in

150
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

high speed, observe this carefully. If it doesn’t rotate, shut down the machine to check.

9.10.6 Hydraulic Hoses Inspection

Note!

 If hydraulic pump, pipes and joints are damaged because of mechanical effect, heat
effect or other effect, that should be changed.
 Keep pipes, tubes and hoses a long enough distance away from hot engine parts
(exhaust system), and make sure there’s no friction.
 Keep hydraulic hose stored in a dry place to avoid sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

Hydraulic tubes should be checked by after-sale engineer at least every year. Regularly check
hoses for leakage. During visual inspection, even if only found tiny damage, hoses should be
changed immediately.
Possible damage of hoses:

 Sliding joint in the hose.


 Outer layer damage, cut and abrasion (any exposure of enhancement layer)
 Hose harden, chap and burn.
 Crack, damage and serious corrosion on joints.
 Leakage of joints or hoses.
 Hoses twine, broken, flattening and twist.
 Hoses outer layer deformation and soft.

Other items for daily inspection:


Tighten, repair or change following as requirements.

 Oil leakage
 Clogging
 Pipe clamp, cover and protective objects.
181
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

 Over storage time and service life.

9.10.7 Hydraulic Hoses Replacement

Even if hoses are not damaged, it still need to be changed after worked for maximum 6 years,
of which including maximum 2 years storage.
Note for changing hydraulic hoses:

 On the basis of date of production marked on the hoses to calculate working hours
and storage time.
 When dismantling pipe joint, new sleeve and pipe joint should be replaced.
 Before installation, components in the hydraulic pipeline should be cleaned first.
 Pay attention to protect hose end to avoid impurity.

9.10.8 Cleanness Control for Hydraulic System

Note!

 If oil is dirty, the hydraulic components will be abraded quicker, resulting in the valve
spool stuck and clogged resistance hole.
 The cleanness of hydraulic oil should be under level NAS9.

Following points should be observed to keep the hydraulic system oil clean.

 Clean hydraulic oil tank before filling oil.


 Clean the surrounding of oil filler and fill oil with fine filter. Install the oil cap at time
and keep the oil tank is sealed.
 After initial 500 hours of operation, clean or change filter element and filter hydraulic
oil. After that clean or change filter element and hydraulic oil every 500 to 1000 hours
of operation. If the drilling machine has been stored for over than one year, the
hydraulic oil should be changed or filtered.
 If the drilling machine is stopped for a long time, air with water will enter into the oil
tank via air filter, and bring water into hydraulic oil, emulsifying oil and denaturing it,
thus, it will take a while to heat up oil eliminating water and then operate the
machine.

9.10.9 Temperature Control of Hydraulic Oil

Hydraulic oil should be not over than 80℃ normally, no more than 90℃ at most during
operation.

 If oil is too hot, the service life of hydraulic components will be shortened by more
abrasion, increasing inner leakage caused by less oil viscosity and worse lubrication.
182
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWDM240

Besides, the aging of seal parts will be accelerated and oil quality will be easier to go
bad.
 If oil is too low, oil viscosity will be increased, the loss of pressure will be more, and
oil will flow slowly affecting the flow of resistance hole and extending the time of
motion, thus, the machine will be sluggish, even will not able to work.
 When oil temperature is over then 80℃, stop operation to idle the machine cooling
down. When starting the machine at -20℃, power on and idle the rotary head for a
while, then operate it after the oil is heated up.

Note for Hydraulic System Maintenance:

 Pressure and flow parameter of hydraulic components have been set before machine
delivered from the factory, forbid to change that. If adjustment is necessary,
professional personnel are needed for that.
 After initial start-up or disassembly for repair, air will exist in the hydraulic pipeline,
power on the machine to idle and make cylinders to move within the maximum stroke
repeatedly to exhaust air, and loosen pipe joint if necessary.
 When the reduction gearbox is rotating, brake it with the balance valve instead of
itself. Failure to comply may result in the burn of reduction gearbox friction plate and
lead to the damage of reduction gearbox.
 Forbid to step on hoses and materials, failure to comply may result in hose joints
damage or looseness, hose crack and lead to oil leakage.
 When replacing hoses, figure out the type and load capacity of hoses. Don’t replace
low-pressure hoses with high-pressure hoses to prevent hose breakage. Don’t use
hoses with small diameter with the larger ones, failure to comply may increase
pressure loss for the pipeline, reducing the work efficiency of drilling machine.
 Hoses and joints on the rotary drilling rig are sealed by O-ring. Press plate, joints and
nuts should be fastened, as looseness will result in the damage of seal ring and oil
leakage. Check joints and fixed screw for looseness regularly.

9.10.10 Use of Battery

Precautions for lifting kelly bar(as figure 6-8)


During the hoisting process of the whole kelly bar, staff must cooperate with operators to
observe and command.

The allowed lifting capacity of the hoisting machine should be larger than the one of the
kelly bar.

The rated load of the rope, used for lifting, should be large than the weight of the kelly
bar.

Select two steel ropes, with different length, for lifting, fix it on two ends of the kelly
respectively. The fixed point should be close to two ends, but not close to the center of the
kelly bar. It’s suggested that the fixed point should be at the position between 1/4 and 3/4 of the
total length.

It’s forbidden to lift the kelly bar with one steel rope.
