Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML Blasthole Drill Instruction Manual 2014 – PDF

Description

Atlas Copco DM45, DM50 and DML Blasthole Drill Instruction Manual

This is the full Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML Blasthole Drill Instruction Manual released in February 2014 under revision 010. It is the working document Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions supplied with every DM45, DM50 and DML crawler-mounted, hydraulic tophread, multi-pass rotary blasthole rig, and it is written for both the operator in the cab and the maintenance crew on the bench. The manual opens with a full safety section, then walks through specifications, control layout, operating procedures, scheduled maintenance and a deep troubleshooting chapter for the hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic and electronic air regulation systems.

Because the DM45, DM50 and DML share one platform, this single document covers the 30 ft tower DM45/50, the 30 ft and optional 35 ft tower DML, the 900 to 1,900 CFM low-pressure compressors, the 900 to 1,450 CFM high-pressure compressors, and every Caterpillar and Cummins engine option offered at the time of publication. Whether you are running a rotary tricone bit or a down-the-hole hammer, the procedures that keep the rig productive are in this manual.

Altogether, the manual delivers a complete operating and maintenance reference for the DM45, DM50 and DML rigs. The specifications chapter alone gives you weight-on-bit ranges, feed speeds, pullback capacity, rod capacity charts by drill rod diameter and wall thickness, jack lifting capacity, ground pressure limits, and slope and gradeability data for both the drill-on-tracks and drill-on-jacks conditions. The operation chapter takes you through every step of setting up on a hole, from lowering the jacks and centering the bubble level, through pinning the tower and testing the overpressure control system, to running rotary or DHD drilling and adding or removing rod. The maintenance chapter provides a full service schedule organised by operating hours, with lubrication charts, refill capacities, and step-by-step procedures for fluids, filters, cables, winches, undercarriage and track tension. The troubleshooting chapter is a technician’s diagnostic guide with flow charts, fault code tables for Cat and Cummins engines, EARS error codes, and hydraulic circuit explanations for the propel, feed and rotation circuits.

What This Manual Enables You To Do

With this Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML instruction manual in hand, an operator can run the rig correctly from the first shift. The pre-start inspection checklist, engine start and stop sequences, drill/propel mode changeover, tower raising and pinning, leveling jack use, carousel index and swing, drill pipe loading, rotary drilling and DHD drilling procedures are all detailed with control identification and step-by-step instructions. Safety warnings appear at every critical step, from hot oil and pressurized system hazards to the tramming grade limits that keep the rig upright on the bench.

For maintenance technicians, the scheduled maintenance tables take the guesswork out of servicing. You get hour-based service intervals, correct lubricants (AC Engine 110, AC Hydraulic 180, AC Gearbox 110, AC Compressor 150 and 350, AC Grease 130, SAE 30 non-detergent for the water injection pump), refill quantities, filter replacement procedures, feed cable and wire rope wear limits, track tension specifications, and a complete torque specification section with SAE and metric tables. The Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML workshop manual content on hydraulics alone – the main pumps, propel motors, motor brakes, diverter valves, drill/propel control valve, loop flushing circuit, feed and rotation circuits, regen valve and load holding – will help you understand why a function is slow, drifting or dead before you start pulling components.

The electrical section covers the batteries, fusible links, alternator, key switch, circuit breakers, relays, diodes, engine shutdown devices, engine speed switch, Cat sensors and ECM diagnostics, and Cummins engine protection and fault codes. The pneumatic section explains the low-pressure and high-pressure compressor lubrication, separation and regulation systems, with clear schematics and a troubleshooting chart for each. The EARS chapter goes further with the MC2 controller, actuator diagnostic tables, error codes, blown fuse checks and connector pin references. The PowerView section shows how to read engine parameters, stored fault codes, active faults, shutdown codes and how to set up the display.

Why Having the Correct Manual Matters

These are high-value, high-hour production machines. A missed grease interval, a wrong hydraulic oil, a mis-set overpressure control, or a feed cable adjusted past its wear limit can turn a productive shift into a week of downtime. The Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML manual spells out the values and the procedures so the work is done right the first time. Torque values, service limits, adjustment values and operating temperatures are all stated in the same document you use to identify the correct control, so there is no guessing between different sources.

The manual also documents the specific features of each model – the 30 ft and 35 ft tower options, the 5-rod carousel rod changer, the no-bump rod changer, the angle drilling packages, the EARS electronic air regulation system, the remote propel system and the cold weather package – so you can identify exactly which configuration you are working on before you touch it.

Instant PDF Delivery

The Atlas Copco DM45 DM50 DML blasthole drill manual is delivered as an instant PDF download. There is no shipping, no waiting, and no physical book to lose in the workshop. Open it on a laptop, tablet or phone at the drill, print the pages you need for the bench or the cab, and keep the searchable index of chapters on hand for quick reference. Because it is the same document issued with the rig in February 2014, it matches the machine as built – including the revision 010 content that superseded earlier revisions.

Whether you are a mine maintenance planner, a field service technician, a driller stepping up to a new rig, or an owner-operator bringing a used DM45, DM50 or DML back into service, this manual gives you the operating, service and troubleshooting information for the machine you are responsible for.
