L E R P 2.2 Warning Signs And Decals 4–2 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Safety Electrical Safety Precautions BI006779 2.3 Electrical Safety Precautions This manual provides information and data for the maintenance and/or operation of this machine. All electrical equipment must be serviced by qualified individuals who have been properly trained to work with high voltage systems and variable frequency AC drives. Failure to comply could result in personal injury or death. Do not attempt mechanical or electrical maintenance on this machine without a full understanding of each component’s operation and function. Components utilizing electrical power, air pressure, hydraulic pressure and compression or tension springs for operation must be deactivated and isolated prior to disassembly. The FEEDER CABLE must contain a provision for a ground connection, especially whenever 2,300 volts or greater are used. At the substation, the power line must terminate (see paragraph on ground circuits) to a suitable permanent ground. At the machine, the power line must securely terminate through a bolted connection to the machine frame. This provides a constant ground for the machine and its electrical equipment. Failure to provide this adequate ground endangers employees and equipment. HIGH VOLTAGE!The need for a power line grounding circuit adequate for the machine cannot be overemphasized. Without a good grounding system, high voltages exist between the machine and the ground. The portable trail cable and power lines supplying electric energy to the machine must have a ground wire, ample in capacity, running parallel to the main wires over the entire distance from the transformer to the machine. A suitable grounding system must be used at the transformer. Consult your local electrical supplier for details. Due to the inherent dangers in the operation of high voltage electrical equipment, a safe grounding system is required that includes ground conductors in the cable, a neutral grounding resistor, and related relays and switchgear. A ground continuity check system is also required.

It is recommended that operators wear hearing protection (ear plugs or ear muffs) when they are exposed to noise levels of 90 dBa and above for any time duration. Dual hearing protection (plugs and ear muffs) is recommended for any exposure to noise levels of 105 dBa and above, for any time duration. Exposure to noise levels of 115 dBa and above, at any time, requires dual hearing protection. NOTE: The above recommendations are based upon U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration requirements, Title 30 CFR 62.0, which includes time weighted averages for exposure limits. At minimum, follow the requirements of your appropriate federal regulatory agency or your employer; whichever is most restrictive (most protects your hearing). Whenever in doubt about the noise level, wear approved hearing protection. • Keeping al l door s closed he lps to m aintain pressurization. Kee ping t he ca b door (s) closed significantly reduces noise levels and exposure to air borne contaminants to the operator. • Do not a ttempt to get o n or off t he ma chine whi le it i s in op eration. N otify the oper ator prior to any attempt to board/exit the machine. • Always use p roper comm unic ation met hods ( horn si gnals, rad io, vi sual) to not ify al l personnel of your intentions before any equipment movement, and after equipment stop. • Do not m ove or o perate the mac hine w ithout fir st knowing the lo cation an d purpo se of all personnel and test or support equipment on or near the machine. • Do not allow unauthorize d personnel on board the machine while in op eration. • Use a udible signals to wa rn of m achine movements. A sig nal ho rn but ton is prov ided for this purpose. • Do not propel until the travel route has been cle ared of obstructions . • Prevent trail c able from b eing d ragged on th e grou nd for l ong di stances or at hi gh speeds. • Limit the a mount of ca ble be ing pu lled b y the m achine.

Failure to make such a routine check could result in unnecessary downtime. For example: an undetected oil leak could result in a dry gearcase, eventually leading to excessive gear wear or destruction, seized bearings or other mechanical problems. Broken strands in the hoist ropes, crowd rope, retract rope or structural strands could, if undetected, result in serious injury or damage to the machine or haulage unit. A machine few minutes spent inspecting the machine often results in considerable savings in time and efficiency. Check the following areas daily during a general walk-around inspection: 1. 2. 3. Check the areas under and around the crawlers for signs of oil leaks. If s ingle droplets are noticed, leakage is minimal. Determine the point of leakage and make a note of it on the log sheet. If pooling of oil is noticed, determine the source and take corrective action immediately. Determine if loose hardware, a defective gasket, a combination of both, or a similar problem is responsible. Tighten hardware or replace defective gaskets. Inspect the crawler belts for missing links or lock pins, excessive belt sag, cracked shoes or other deterioration. Check the oil level in the propel planetary gearcase. Add oil as required. Check the swing rack and pinion guards for rocks, dirt and other debris that will interfere with the operation of the machine. Inspect the swing rack gear and rollers for the proper lubricant film.

For hoist/propel motion the hoist/propel transfer switch is in the position called for by the operator’s mode selector switch. b. The joystick for the motion being reset must be in the NEUTRAL position. c. The motion mechanical brake selector button must be in the SET position. For hoist or crowd travel limit faults, the motion will first slow down and then will stop, but the controls will remain active. Reversing the joystick will remove the fault and allow continued operation. For a boom jacking fault, ALL motions will stop but the controls will remain active. Reversing the crowd joystick will remove the fault and allow continued operation. Gently retract the dipper handle until the boom is completely lowered. You can then resume normal operation. If the boarding ladder and/or stairs are pulled down while the machine is in operation, an alarm message will be sent to the operator, and swing and propel motions will be shut down. The hoist and crowd motions will remain active. a. Once the ladder and/or stairs are back in position, the motions may be restarted by pressing the control reset pushbutton. For most other faults, the machine will be shut down and brakes set. In these situations, the controls cannot be reset until the fault has been corrected by an electrician.

Due to the many varied mining conditions, situations may arise which are not directly discussed in detail in this manual. When such situations arise; past experience, availability of equipment, and common sense play a large part in what steps should be taken. General safe practices for working machines must be followed as well as safe operating practices. However, it is impossible to foresee all such conditions, and it must remain the responsibility of the mining company and the operator to anticipate and avoid any unsafe conditions not described in detail in this manual. Safety rules within individual mining companies vary. If a conflict exists, the rules of the company take precedence over the suggestions contained within this manual.

Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Swing Motion Control BI006779 7.5 Swing Motion Control Swing motion is controlled by the operator’s right joystick. To swing in either direction, move the joystick lever in the direction of swing. Practice swinging in each direction until a “feel” is developed for start-up and stopping. The speed of the swing movement is proportional to the distance the joystick is moved away from neutral. Unlike other motion controls, swing movement does not stop when the joystick is returned to the neutral (center) position. The operator must counter swing to stop. NOTE: The joystick also controls the hoisting and lowering of the dipper through forward and backward motions. Each motion - hoist or swing - is fully operational throughout the complete movement of the other motion. NOTE: When this joystick is used for propelling the right track of the machine, the hoist and swing motions are locked out.

The swing motion begins toward the haulage unit when the dipper is filled and is clear of the bank. 3 1 0 2 , 3 2 Extensive damage to the dipper handle and dipper can occur if the machine is swung lu before the dipper clears the bank. y J Y The swing motion begins with acceleration to an optimum point at which the excavator is brought L N to a stop over the haulage unit. Maximum efficiency and minimum swing machinery wear are O direct results of mastering the swing motion. E C N E R E F E R R O F E S U E L P M A S Y R A N I M I NOTE: Improper swing motion results in erratic control, and an inefficient swing cycle. L E R P The dipper should never be swung over personnel, trail cables, related electrical equipment or other equipment. When the dipper is loaded, accidental tripping of the dipper door could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and extensive damage to equipment. Empty dippers may contain small fragments of material that can be extremely dangerous when dropped from a considerable height. On long moves it’s best to have the door open on an empty dipper and the dipper lowered to a point that permits moving without striking the ground. 10 – 7 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Proper Swing Motion BI006779 Time is required to accelerate any motion from zero to working speed, and also to decelerate from working speed back to zero. The time expended for accelerating and decelerating the swing represents the major part of the entire dig cycle. Therefore, the swing arcs must be kept to a minimum to obtain maximum operating efficiency. As an example: assuming that a 90° swing results in 100 percent of the maximum output, increasing the swing arc to 180° reduces output to 70 percent, while decreasing the swing arc to 45° increases the output to 126 percent. Therefore, a swing arc of 90° or less should usually be used. Haulage units should be positioned so their centerline is approximately under or not more than slightly outside the swing path of the boom point. This substantially reduces the amount of dipper maneuvering required of the operator when positioning the dipper for dumping. Positioning of the haulage unit inside or outside the boom point makes it necessary to retract or crowd the dipper handle and dipper, which breaks the operator’s natural rhythm. A clean, level pit floor must be maintained. A good operator will always clean the floor before moving into the bank. A clean and level floor grade is a requisite to safe and stable machine operation, and reduces damage to crawler links and related components. “Sweeping” should never be attempted with the machine. Sweeping consists of lowering the dipper to the ground and using the swing motion of the machine to move the dipper from side-to-side and “sweep” the pit floor. The dipper, dipper handle and boom structures can be damaged by this tactic. A bulldozer or loader should be used to help the machine operator maintain a clean pit floor in conjunction with the machine.

NOTE: The speed of the crowd movement is proportional to the distance the joystick is moved away from neutral. There are slowdown and stop limits at both ends of each stroke.

NOTE: 16 – 7 July 2013 When steering in soft material such as sand, clay, etc., increments of less than 15° to 20° might be used to minimize material build up on the crawler belt roller path. A single sharp turn should be avoided to minimize material build up on the crawler belt roller path and subsequent high loading of crawler belt and associated propel components.

To make a sharp left turn: Move the RIGHT joystick forward (just past neutral) and pull the LEFT joystick to the rear (just past neutral) to take up the slack in the respective crawler belts and drive tumblers before moving the joysticks to full travel and faster propel speed. NOTE: When the turn is completed, reverse the direction of the joysticks slightly past neutral to relieve any tension on the crawler belts and drive tumblers. Then return the joysticks to neutral to stop. Although possible, a single sharp turn should be avoided to minimize material build up on the crawler belt roller path. This results in high loading of the crawler belt and increased stress on the propel components. Therefore, counter-rotation turns should be limited to 15° to 20° increments. When using the counter-rotation method for turning, use a helper to ensure that the trail cable does not get fouled and/or torn from the machine.

A soft surface will cause the crawlers to dig-in and machine to bog down. When moving the machine in a straight line, always propel forward (in the direction of the take-up axle) to reduce strain and wear on the crawler belts and propel mechanism. This is especially important in long propels or in deadheading back to the beginning of a cut. When not possible to propel forward, and propelling to the rear is required, make sure the trail cable is clear of the machine and follow the signals given by the helper. For increased safety the machine’s upper works should be rotated in a position that allows the operator to face the direction of travel. lu NOTE: y J Y L N O E C N E R E F E R R O F E S U E L P M A S Y R A N I M I L E R P 18 – 7 July 2013 Turning when propelling to the rear requires that the joystick be positioned in a direction opposite the actual direction in which the turn takes place. The machine should be moved close to the bank in short and frequent moves to maintain digging efficiency. Movement should occur between the loading of haul units. Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Positioning The Machine BI006779 7.11 Positioning The Machine There are two basic methods for positioning an excavator at a bank working face. The first method is the “back-up method”. The second method is the “drive-by method”. Both methods are acceptable and effective when set up correctly. 7.11.1 Back-up Method When using the back-up method, the excavator is placed in the bank with the front of the machine turned directly toward the digging face. The haulage units are spotted on both sides of the machine. The bank is worked until a 180° semicircle has been excavated. When the point is reached where a 90° swing to either side is required to load haulage units, the excavator is moved to a new cut. P R E L IM I N A R Y S A M P L E U S E F O R R E F E R E N C E O N L Y J u ly 2 3 , 2 0 1 3 Work the machine from right to left along the bank. To move over, the operator should back up, turning the machine gradually until the crawlers are at a 45° angle to the srcinal digging path. Then, back the machine straight until the right crawler crosses the corner of the excavated semicircle. Then, propel forward, turning the crawlers gradually to the left. When the right crawler is aligned with the corner of the semicircle, move forward to the digging face and proceed to load the haulage units. The back-up method will minimize the swing arc and reduce moving time. Other advantages are less bank toe area clean up and simplified handling of the trail cable, cable towers and trail cable boat.

The trucks must approach the machine from the front L P making a turn away from the machine as the front wheel approaches the outside crawler. The M truck should stop in a position to allow backing toward the point of the bank for loading. During A S load cycle, the swing arc should not exceed 90°. The time between finishing one truck to the Y the R first digging cycle of the next should not exceed that of any cycle during a load. A N I M I L E R P 20 – 7 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Start Of The Dig Cycle BI006779 7.12 Start Of The Dig Cycle The crowd motion forces the dipper lip into the bank at the start of the digging cycle. It is the crowd thrust which enables the dipper lip and front opening to get into a column of material of sufficient cross section to fill the dipper rapidly. Figure 7-1 Force the Dipper Lip into the Bank There is a direct relationship between crowd depth of bank penetration and the distance the dipper must rise in the bank to fill the dipper. The deeper the “bite” the quicker the dipper will be filled, providing the hoist force is sufficient to cut the column of material. Do not attempt to lift the entire bank with each pass. As soon as the dipper is full, retract it from the bank and swing the machine to fill the truck. Crowd penetration should be rapid just at the arc of entry and rise as the dipper enters the bank. This will permit as much digging as possible near the base of the bank. This is of particular advantage when digging loose or blasted material. The greater the hoist force and crowd thrust, the faster the dipper filling time of the dig cycle. The crowd thrust should be maintained to hold the dipper in the bank while it is being hoisted. An added benefit of proper crowd thrust and hoist force is that the opposing vertical resistance of the bank material tends to have a “ramming” effect in the dipper front opening, minimizing voids and producing larger dipper loads. It is combined important with that deep the fullbank cutting surface of dipper the for bank each pass. of A full face cut penetration willthe result in acontact full dipper theon least amount hoist. A partial cut, even with deep bank penetration, requires a greater rise, and tends to leave voids in the dipper. This could necessitate additional passes to fill the haulage unit.

If bank face, rather than extending the filled dipper and excessive crowd and sheaves when operating close to the Figure 7-3 Dig with the Dipper Beneath the Boom Point Overcrowding with the dipper lowered can result in lifting the boom. This jacking action can result in damaged components. Overcrowding the dipper in the bank slows up the dipper loading process, thereby reducing machine efficiency.

The dipper should enter the bank approximately under and behind the boom point. The actual cut should start a few degrees behind an imaginary vertical line from the front of the boom point sheaves. Proper bank engagement results in maximum hoisting force in line with the cut. When the dipper is too far forward, bank penetration will be minimal, and the hoist and crowd forces will oppose each other rather than working together. lu y J Y L N O E C N E R E F E R R O Figure 7-4 Engage the Bank Under the Boom Point F E S U An excavator dipper capacity rating is the struck measure cubic yard capacity. When digging, a E load greater or less than the rated capacity may be obtained, depending on the type of material. L P An efficient operation can be measured by the number of dipper loads required to load a haulage M A unit. When the dipper capacity is efficiently sized to the truck capacity, not less than three or S Y more than five dippers full should be required to load a unit. Other factors such as improper R sizing of haulage units to dipper, improper material fragmentation, etc. also must be considered. A N I In all types of digging the skilled operator must carefully control the desired depth of cut, and M I control the hoist power requirements. Often, digging situations are encountered which require L hoist and crowd motions to maneuver around oversize or lodged obstructions in the bank, rather E R than attempting to lift the entire bank. P Figure 7-5 Hoist Force Opposes Crowd Force 24 – 7 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Engaging The Bank BI006779 Maintain a digging face which avoids any major slides which could cause an accident. Examine the digging face for large boulders, large rocks, or frozen material which could slide and cause an accident. Avoid overhanging material. The experienced operator does not repeatedly stall the dipper in the bank, nor maintain a stall condition. The life expectancy of the hoist machinery and hoist ropes is directly related to the operator’s skill in avoiding stalling. Whenever stall conditions are encountered, back off on the hoist motion, retract the dipper, or do both. Avoid stall conditions at all times. L Y J u ly 2 3 , 2 0 1 3 Figure 7-6 Make Effective Use of the Hoist Effort Do not suspend a loaded or empty dipper in the air with the brakes set for long time periods. Lower the dipper to the ground if the machine is to be idle or unattended for any length of time. Failure to comply can result in personal injury or death of anyone beneath the dipper. For most efficient production, the dipper should be loaded from the most remote point while waiting for a truck. When the truck is positioned, excavating should begin close to the haulage unit, progressively working away from the unit. This technique saves time by allowing smooth, short dig cycles, and eliminates excessive swing, crowd and retract motions.

Chief among these is the type of material to be excavated. It plays a great part in the overall efficiency of the machine. Materials can be roughly divided into four categories: 1. lu y J 2. Y L N O E C N E 3. R E F E R R O F 4. E S U E L P M A S Y R A N I M I L E R P Easy digging. This ca tegory includes all loose, free-flowing materials, such as sand and gravel deposits, stock pile materials such as finely crushed stone, ore fines, coal fines and any other similar materials. The dipper will usually obtain a heaped load. Medium digging. This category includes only materials which can be excavated from their natural beds without blasting, and which break up in bulk with some voids. Such material includes clay, dry earth, clay-gravel mixtures, gravel with some boulders, certain types of ores, and coal. The dipper will usually obtain a full load, with filling augmented by the material’s natural tendency to break apart when it encounters the dipper lip and teeth. Hard digging. Included in th is category are ma terials that require blasting, resulting in good fragmentation, but leaving large chunks which develop voids. Limestone, gypsum shale, cemented gravel, wet earth, clay and certain types of ore and overburden all fall within this category. The dipper will average less than a full load because of the resistance of the material against flow and voids due to blocky material. Very hard digging. This category includes all materials that require heavy blasting and give irregular fragmentation. Taconite, granite, laminar shale, certain types of limestone, and conglomerate overburden fall into this category. The dipper will average considerably less than a full load, because of the large chunks and interlocking action of the material which block fill. 28 – 7 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN Machine Operation Operation Checks BI006779 7.16 Operation Checks During machine operation there are several things to consider relative to safe, efficient machine operation. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check the motors for unusual noise, loss of power or failure to respond to controls. Check hoist, crowd, swing and propel machinery for unusual sounds and overheating of bearings. Avoid slack hoist ropes which could allow the ropes to become crossed on the drum, or skip a groove. Frequently check the air pressure readout on the “ home” screen (shown below).

This typically happens at machine startup, but can also occur when the machine is running but has sat idle for a period of time. Temperature sensors are located in the upper hydraulic tank, lower hydraulic tank (power module) and the cylinder control manifold. Hydraulic oil temperature throughout the system must be at least 95110° F (35-44° C). During the warm-up sequence the operator needs to be present to monitor the progress throughout the entire procedure. The PLC will prompt the operator at various stages to turn the crowd control ON and OFF. The PLC displays the estimated time remaining to complete the warm-up sequence. 8.4.1 Overview The warm-up sequence typically begins at machine start-up. After all the permissives are met and the Drive Power is turned ON, the PLC will determine if the hydraulic oil is up to operating temperature. If not, the warm-up sequence will appear and the process will begin. As a rule, components highlighted in red are in the warm-up process. Components in gray have not yet begun warm-up. Individual components highlighted in green have reached operating temperature.

It also records these conditions in a short-term history so the user can see problems that may have occurred during the current operating session. When a new alarm occurs, an alarm window pops up with an acknowledge button and an audible alarm sounds. A yellow message banner will also appear at the top of the screen that displays the alarm number and description of the most recent alarm. Other screens allow the user to see all currently active alarms/faults, as well as the short-term history. 26 – 8 July 2013 Electric Rope Shovel OM11089-EN BI006779 Appendix HydraCrowd Warm-up Sequence Alarms, faults, and messages are always referred to by their CDA (Cab Displayed Alarm) number. If you are contacting the manufacturer about a specific message, make sure that you know its exact CDA number.

The Alarm History Screen lists all of the alarms, faults, and messages currently recorded since the display was powered up. By default, the most recent event is shown on top. The first two columns list the time and date that the event occurred. The third column lists the alarm number (CDA). This is the primary key to identifying the message. The fourth column lists a brief description of the alarm. If the number of events is large enough, the Page Up and Page Down buttons to the left of the list can be used to scroll through the list.
