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.
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
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.
