2.4 Machine Description


The Atlas Copco Scooptram is a diesel engine driven four-wheel drive, rubber-tired ma-
chine.
Power is transmitted through a power-shift transmission to drive axles with planetary hubs.
The Scooptram is designed for high performance hauling, loading, and dumping within the
confined spaces of underground mines and tunnels.
The Atlas Copco Scooptram has a power frame and a load frame that is connected by an
articulating joint. It permits 45° turns. The two sections remain level relative to each other.
The front axle oscillates to enable all four tires to retain contact on uneven terrain.

2.5 Location of Data Plate

The machine identification data is stamped on the data plate that is located near the opera-
tor cab on the chassis.

ST7/ST7 LP 3 Controls and Instruments

3.10 Pedals

1 Brake pedal

2 Throttle pedal

The control system reads the position of the throttle pedal and sends the information to the
ECM/TCU units.
The control system also reads the position of the brake, but with an additional built-in
safety function. The function engages when the pedal is pressed to 95% and applies full
braking force even if a fault occurs in the RCS. In this mode, the control system is by-
passed and the brake is activated immediately with full force. Any problems with the brake
pedal are normally discovered during a recommended brake test before the start of each
shift.

6.3.7 Location of Brake Release


The brake release point is located above the foot box in the operator cabin.

6.3.8 Releasing the Brakes


The brake systems are spring-applied and are disengaged hydraulically. Without hydraulic
pressure, all four wheel-brake assemblies apply.
The brake valve, when mechanically depressed, allows hydraulic oil pressure to be sent to
the brakes to release them. There must be enough pressure that is stored in the accumula-
tors to release the brakes before pressing the valve.

NOTE: A relatively large number of pump strokes is required to build a pressure of


! 96.5 bar (1400 psi) to release the brakes. Monitor the accumulator pressure gauge to
see when there is sufficient pressure in the accumulator.

There must be at least 96.5 bar (1400 psi) oil pressure that is built up in the brake accumu-
lator.

1. Use the hydraulic hand pump to build enough hydraulic pressure to release the
brakes if there is not enough stored pressure.

2. Attach the tow cable to the tow hook.

NOTE: Every time the operator releases the brake release valve or
! applies the service brakes, accumulator pressure lowers and is built
up again using the hand pump.

3. Press and hold the valve down to release the brakes.


Have a qualified operator in the Scooptram operator cab.

6.3.9 Emergency Steering


The emergency steering option supplies pressurized oil to the steering system, so the op-
erator can bring the machine to a safe stop during a failure in the normal oil supply to the
steering system.
Pressurized oil is stored in accumulators that are charged when the machine is started.
They are connected to the steering system if a failure occurs and the machine maintains
steering a few more turns.
When the emergency steering is triggered, an alarm (visual and audible) alerts the opera-
tor that they have only a few turns left to steer. The operator must bring the machine to a
safe stop as soon as possible.

Emergency Steering Trigger

WARNING
Safety Precaution
u When the emergency steering is triggered, bring the machine to a safe stop as soon as

! NOTE: Improper positioning decreases the wheel chock effectiveness.

n Chock in front of the front wheels if the machine is disabled while traveling down
grade.

n Chock the back of the rear wheels if the machine is disabled while traveling up grade.

n Chock the front and back of one wheel if the direction of the grade cannot be deter-
mined.

n Use two pairs of wheel chocks in severe conditions.

n Chock snugly and squarely against the center of the tire tread.

6.3.14 Wheel Chocks Considerations


n There are many considerations that must be taken before implementing chocking pro-
cedures.

n Consider the following variables which affect the chock performance if the wheel
chocks are expected to hold on a specific grade.

l Tire size

61 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

l Tire type (pneumatic, radial, bias-ply, solid rubber, and so forth).

l Gross machine weight

l Varying tire pressures that naturally occur with changes in the environment

l Type and condition of road surface (that is, asphalt, gravel, dirt, firm, soft, wet,
dry, icy, and so forth).

n Do not test a pair of wheel chocks with a specific machine and payload.

n Assume that the wheel chocks hold the same machine on the same grade every time.

n Countless combinations of conditions exist and must be considered when selecting


the most appropriate wheel chocks for each application.

n Complete and thorough testing must be completed to make sure that specific wheel
chocks meet the specific chocking requirements.

6.3.15 Preventing Machine Rollover

DANGER
Safety Precaution

6.4 Loading

6.4.1 General Operating Instructions


The following information helps the operator to maximize safety and productivity while op-
erating the Scooptram.

6.4.2 Crowd Loading


Crowd loading is achieved with the correct combination of machine traction and the power
of the bucket.

n Load the bucket in a single pass without spinning the wheels or ramming the muck
pile.
Applying the correct amount of tractive power and bucket force requires experience.

63 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

6.4.3 Preparing for Loading

! NOTE: Keep the loading area clear of debris.

n Remove rocks and debris in the loading area before proceeding to load the bucket.
This action results in more level loading, better traction, and less chance of damage
to the undercarriage and tires.

6.4.4 Moving Towards a Pile


The bucket float function can be activated to help when cleaning up rocks and to keep the
bucket level when entering the muck pile.

! NOTE: Place bucket lip on the ground and approach the muck pile

n Lower the boom completely and lower the bucket tip to the ground when approaching
the ore pile.

n Approach the pile in low gear with the bucket just touching the surface.

6.4.5 Maneuvering the Bucket After Loading

64 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

1. Fold the bucket up fully when it is loaded and shake off loose material to prevent ma-
terial from falling out when moving the machine.

! NOTE: It is good practice to tilt the bucket forward slightly and then
back rapidly to shake off the load.

2. Shift to reverse and back away from the pile.

3. Carry the loaded bucket back with the boom lowered onto the stops.

6.4.6 Loading the Pile

65 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

! NOTE: Do not hit the load with the edge of the bucket.

! NOTE: Load from the nearest point of the pile.

n Approach the pile firmly and operate the machine in a straight line.

! NOTE: If the front and rear wheels are not in line, there is less trac-
tion and the machine will jackknife.

n Operate the bucket in such a way that it hits the pile at the center.
Make sure that the pile hits in the center of the bucket.
If the pile hits on the edge of the bucket, the force is out of center and wheels spin.
Incorrect angle can also lead to incorrect front axle load, which can lead to machine
breakdown.

66 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

n Control the shape of the muck pile to keep it square-shaped by loading at a different
place each time.

n Pick up the load from the closest point first.


It is easier to load the bucket if the sides of the pile are kept tidy.
When the machine starts to penetrate the pile, the forward motion slows down. Accel-
erate to increase the crowding action.

6.4.7 Overloading

WARNING
Safety Precaution
u Overloading is a safety hazard because the machine stability is affected.

! NOTE: An overload of more that 10% results in the hydraulic system overheating and
reduces performance and shortens component life.

n Use correct sized bucket for optimal machine performance and to improve productivity
and reduced operating cost.
n A maximum 10% of the number of loads can exceed the nominal tramming capacity by
10%.
n No individual load can exceed the nominal tramming capacity by 20%.

6.4.8 Bucket Level Indicator

Use the aim device on the bucket to identify the horizontal position for the bucket lip.

6.4.9 Dumping the Bucket

NOTE: For the life time of the dump cylinder, it is important that boom is raised to high-
! est position and that the bucket is tilted fully to the stops. Otherwise the vibrations and
dump force are wrongly transmitted to the dump cylinder instead of the boom frame.

1. Slow the machine down while approaching the dump location.

2. Stop the machine and raise the boom to the emptying height.

3. Dump the bucket contents onto the dump location by tilting the bucket fully forward
until it hits the bucket stops.

6.4.10 Loading Failures

Front Wheels Raised

! NOTE: Do not lift the front wheels off the ground.

n Do not put so much down-pressure as to lift the front wheels off the ground.
Tipping the bucket too far forward causes an increase in down-pressure.
n The digging power is greatly reduced when the machine is driven only on two rear
wheels.

68 No: 4361449611.1.4361527051 en-US


ST7/ST7 LP 6 Operation

Rear Wheels Raised

! NOTE: Do not overload the bucket and lift the rear wheels.

n Do not over-apply bucket force that raises the rear machine off the ground.
Back up a short distance and tip the bucket forward if the rear of the machine raises.
n Continue to penetrate into the pile until the forward movement is stopped completely.
Reduce the throttle application to prevent wheel spin in this position.

Wheel Spinning

! NOTE: Do not spin the wheels.

n With the proper use of the bucket controls and the throttle pedal, all four wheels have
traction.
By operating the bucket joystick back and forth, the operator can make a prying action with
the bucket.
n Wheelspin can be avoided by accelerating only enough to keep the wheels pushing
the machine into the muck pile.
n Raise the boom slightly to apply more weight on the front axle until the front wheels
have regained their grip, in the event of the wheelspin. Then continue to penetrate the
muck pile further.
n The operator must ease up on the throttle output if the wheels spin.

prevent damage to the wheels.

9. Remove wheel chocks.

10. Move the machine gradually and smoothly to prevent overloading the towing bar or
cable.

11. Reapply parking brake and chock the wheels after parking the machine.

7.1.3 Tow Hook System


The tow hook with brake release is a device that allows the Scooptram to be towed in an
emergency without the need to build pressure in the brake accumulator.
A trigger arm which is connected to a cylinder sends hydraulic oil to the brake accumulator,
in which automatic pressure is then built up.
As an option there is a tow hook and a cylinder for the automatic release of the brakes. To
move the machine, all that is required is that the tow chain is fastened around the tow hook
arm. The thrust releases the brakes and the machine can be towed.
There is no need to have an operator in the Scooptram cab while towing using the brake
release tow hook.

NOTE: It is necessary to relieve pressure on the tow hook lever and allow it to reset to
! its pre-towing position so that it can be pressed to release the brakes, as the machine
is towed.

! NOTE: The engine must be switched off to use the tow hook release system.

7.2 Transporting the Machine


Be aware of the laws and regulations of the area through which the machine travels. Also,
be aware of all the required safety equipment in each area.
