ULTIMATE DRILLING MACHINE

OPERATING SUMMARY

STARTING: The function switch at the rear

control panel must be in the center (Neutral) position between DRIVE & DRILL, and the MASTER DISCONNECT switch must be ON. Be certain both red EMERGENCY STOP switches are pulled out. The engine throttle, choke and start key are all located at the rear of the machine on the right side of the engine.

MOVING: The self propelled function only works

with the function switch in the DRIVE position. Gently raise and lower the lever on the drive valve mounted in the upper rear corner of the machine. To steer the unit, lift the rear tires of the ground and pivot to the proper location. The machine may also be move manually by lifting the rear tires off the ground and pushing or pulling. Be certain the rear legs and front mast are raised fully for maximum ground clearance.

DOWN switch to slowly start the hole. Once contact is made, switch to AUTO DRILL mode, drilling will continue until the cylinder stroke is to its maximum length or until the AUTO DRILL switch is shut off.

The DRIIL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches will NOT operate when the AUTO DRILL mode is on.

TWO SPEED DRILL MOTOR: Set to high speed for

drills up to 10” in diameter (Shift Clockwise) and low speed for drills greater then 10” (Shift Counter Clockwise).

IMPORTANT! A red emergency stop button is at the rear and side controls panels. This will stop the engine and shut down all hydraulic and electrical systems. These buttons must be in the out position to start the engine.

DRILLING: The labels at the front controls

summarize the typical drilling operation. Please read them and review the following additional information.

After positioning the drill, put the function switch in the upper DRILL position. This activates the controls on the front dash panel. Be certain the circuit breakers at the rear electrical outlet panel are on as AC power is required by the vacuum pump.

The DRILL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches are intermittent and must be held in to operate. Holding UP or DOWN and TURBO will raise or lower the drill more rapidly for initial positioning or pulling bit out of hole. To adjust the speed of cylinder stroke, hold up or down and turn the small black knob at the upper right of the manifold control. This is also the maximum speed the drill can move while in AUTO DRILL mode and should be set low. With the drill set to the proper RPM, gently jog

Water System

Use extreme caution when operating the machine on slopes, as it is more susceptible to sideways tipping/rolling over, especially with a full water tank.

The water system cools the core bit and flushes slurry from the drilling hole. Note: Always test the

water supply for adequate pressure and flow prior to drilling.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Remove the water tank cap(s) and fill the tank

with water as necessary. Note: The clear hose at the rear of the tank indicates the water level.

2. Replace the cap(s) when finished.

NOTE: Too much water makes the slurry look clear

and waste water, insufficient water makes slurry thick and can result in a core sticking in bit.

Draining Water System

1. Be certain the area is safe for draining

water.

2. Open large valve located on the front right

side of machine.

3. Complete draining is only required in areas

where temperatures result in freezing, or machine is going to be stored for a long period of time.

Vacuum System

DO NOT stand on the

machine to act as an anchor. Use the vacuum pump to anchor the machine.

The vacuum system is only used during the drilling operation when the base is firmly on the ground; this adds stability to the system and should be used whenever possible. Cleaning and wetting the surface with the garden hose helps to ensure a proper seal.

Using the Water Supply

1. Open the water valve directly under the water

tank. DO NOT confuse this valve with the water release valve, which is located near the side of the tank.

2. Turn on the Water switch.

3. Open the water valve.

4. Adjust the water flow valve to increase or

decrease water flow to the core bit. Note: Using

too much water when drilling will make the slurry look clear. Not using enough water will make the slurry look thick and pasty, and could result in a stuck bit.

5. Use the attached water hose for cleaning or

other tasks as needed. This hose functions as a typical garden hose. Note: Turn on the master

battery disconnect to use the water hose with the engine off. DO NOT drain the battery.

6. Decrease the water flow and close the water

valve when finished.

7. Turn off the Water switch. Note: Always turn off

this switch when finished drilling to avoid draining the battery.

Using the Vacuum

1. Turn on the circuit breakers.

2. Close the vacuum valve on side dash.

3. Turn on the Vacuum switch.

4. Open the vacuum valve to release suction

when finished.

5. Turn off the Vacuum switch.

Vacuum Gauge

The vacuum gauge indicates that the vacuum system is working. Vacuum pressure should max out

at 25” Hg. Note: Poor vacuum suction may indicate loose hose fittings; loose water trap jars; worn vacuum base seals; or the base may be placed over a cracked/scored surface where suction is not possible.

Water Jars

The primary jar is mounted on the water tank next to the side dash unit and helps keep water and other contaminates from being sucked into the pump. The secondary jar is located adjacent to the vacuum pump behind the form right wheel of the machine. Visually inspect and empty the containment jar on a regular basis. The jars unscrews by hand. Failure to empty this jar will result in vacuum pump damage.

Primary Water Jar

Secondary Water Jar

Drill Mode

Introduction and Initial Settings: The following items can only be used or adjusted with the function switch in DRILL mode. The recommended pressure settings are maximum limits. They will typically only be reached intermittently if rebar or hard spots are encountered when drilling.

Cylinder Pressure The cylinder pressure controls how hard the bit

pushes downward. The pressure is factory set at 200 psi and should rarely need adjustments. Monitor the cylinder pressure using the 500 psi gauge on the main hydraulic manifold and adjust to the factory setting as necessary.

1. Start the engine.

2. Move the function switch to Drill.

3. Turn off the Drill Rpm cartridge.

4. If no bit is attached to the machine, press the

Drill Down button to fully extend the cylinder. If a bit is attached to the machine, place a sturdy block of wood under the bit and press the Drill Down button to push the bit against the piece of wood (as if trying to lift the front end of the machine).

5. Holding the Drill Down button, adjust the

Cylinder Pressure Base End valve on the main hydraulic manifold to adjust the cylinder pressure. DO NOT exceed 200 psi when drilling without the vacuum. Note: Use caution and

good judgment when increasing the pressure above 200 psi, which will increase the risk of jammed bits.

6. Press the Drill Up button to raise the cylinder for

proper ground clearance.

Cylinder Speed While holding the drill DOWN switch, turn the small black knob at the top right of the main hydraulic manifold. This sets the maximum speed the drill can move (unless in TURBO mode) and should be set to the slow end of the adjustment, Slow speed is particularly important at initial drill to ground contact. This setting should rarely need adjustment.

Drill Motor Pressure Switch

Cylinder Speed

Adjustable

An adjustable pressure switch monitors the drill motor pressure and will automatically shift the cylinder to neutral (stops pushing) if it senses the drill motor pressure rises above 1500 psi (hard spots). The cylinder will then automatically cycle ON/OFF as the drill works through rebar or other hard spots.

• DO NOT exceed the core bit’s

maximum recommended speed when drilling. Excessive drilling speeds at first contact with the concrete surface can cause bit breakage, resulting in serious injuries and/or death.

• DO NOT use damaged core bits when

drilling to avoid harming yourself, others, or the machine.

Diamond Core Bits

Using the proper core bit (size and type) preserves the bit and improves drilling and operator efficiency, resulting in lower costs. Refer to www.diamondproducts.com for additional drilling and core bit information.

Inspecting the Core Bit

Inspect each core bit prior to installation and discard all damaged bits. Inspect all core bits for:

Raising and Lowering the Drill The DRILL DOWN, DRILL UP, and TURBO switches are intermittent switches and must be held to operate. Holding UP or DOWN and TURBO will raise and lower the drill more rapidly for initial positioning and quickly pulling a bit out of a hole. These switches will not work when the AUTO DRILL mode is selected.

Raising and Lowering Frame and Mast To establish a more solid base, the pneumatic tires are raised off the ground. This same action places the vacuum base firmly on the ground. Electric cylinders at the front and rear of the machine are controlled by intermittent switches located on the main side control panel. The frame should be raised until the front tires are just clear of the ground. Independently adjusting the front and rear controls allows slight leveling of the machine.

Pressure Switch

Adjuster

• Cracks, nicks, and dents on barrel

• Darkness and/or discoloration near

edge of bit

• Uneven wear

• Missing segments

• Bent segments

• Segment cracks

Core Bit Speeds

Refer to the chart on the machine for the recommended core bit speeds when drilling. DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended drilling speed.

Installing a Core Bit

• Be extremely careful when

installing a core bit by hand with the spindle shaft activated to avoid entanglement.

• Failure to properly secure the core bit to the

spindle shaft may cause the bit to loosen or fall off the machine.
