26 TRACK DRIVE CONTROLS

26.1 MAIN CONTROL VALVE PORT RELIEF SETTING


Check the drill make control lever is in the DRILL position.
Plug each of the four track drive motor hoses with steel plugs.
Select track drive from the rear [drill control panel].
With the diesel at 2175-2200, operate the following controls and adjust the port relief
valve for that particular operation.
Left track FORWARD, port relief valve setting 235 bar A.P.R 230-235bar
Left track REVERSE, port relief valve setting 235 bar A.P.R 230-235bar
Right track FORWARD, port relief valve setting 235 bar A.P.R 230-235bar
Right track REVERSE, port relief valve setting 235 bar A.P.R 230-235bar
Remove the steel plugs and connect each of the hoses to there respective motor ports.
26.2 OPERATIONAL CHECK
Check the track drive final drives are full to the correct level with the correct grade
lubricating oil.
Check the track drive motor cases are filled with clean hydraulic oil.
Check the tracks are correctly adjusted.
26.2.1 DIRECTION OF OPERATION
Check the direction of operation of track drive controls as follows
Jack the rig up so that the tracks do not touch the ground.
Left Track Drive Forward Reverse from both track drive locations
Right Track Drive Forward Reverse from both track drive locations
Lower the tracks back onto the ground
26.2.2 STRAIGHT AHEAD REVERSE OPERATION
Select operation from the front [track drive cabin]
Take the rig outside onto the dirt area at the rear of the workshop.
Arrange to have the rig parallel to the fence. Measure the distance from the fence to
the rig.
Operate both of the track drive control levers FORWARD with the diesel at 2175-
2200.
Drive the rig at least 10 metres FORWARD without moving the control levers.
Measure the distance from the fence to the rig. It should be within 500mm of the
previous distance.
If this rig drives more to one side the stroke limit adjustments of the track drive valves
will have to adjusted so that the rig drives FORWARD in a straight line.
Carry out the same as above but with the rig in reverse.
26.2.3 GENERAL OPERATION
Operate the rig at various diesel rpms and control lever positions. Check for ease of
operation.
Check for oil leaks from the track drive motors and final drives.
