Page 8: Operational Safety
A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. © 2018 Utilicor Technologies Inc. minicor-3 V1.5... - Page 9 Park in level area. Do not allow riders on the minicor-3 or power unit at any time. There is no safe place for any riders. Disengage hydraulic power and place transmission into neutral before attempting to start engine.
- Page 10 Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Before leaving the operator's area for any reason – lower the minicor-3 to the ground, stop the power unit engine, set the brakes and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Page 11: Transport Safety
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside. Be careful when turning sharp corners. Never allow riders on either power unit or minicor-3. Falling off can kill. Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. -
Page 12: Maintenance Safety
Remove hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance. Place the minicor-3 on the ground or securely blocked up, and turn off the engine. With the engine off and the key in the ACC position toggle hydraulic flow controls on and off to release the pressure in the lines. - Page 13 When working on or around the minicor-3, lower it to the ground or secure it with transport chains. Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit is in a safe condition.

Page 16: Introduction
Utilicor Process The Utilicor process, referred to as "Utilicoring", combines the purpose-built, field proven, truck or minicor-3™ skid-steer mounted, Utilicor Rotary Coring Unit with Utilibond™, a proprietary bonding compound, that have been specially engineered for coring and the permanent reinstatement of the cored coupon in asphalt, asphalt-concrete, concrete and reinforced concrete road surfaces, and concrete sidewalks. - Page 17 572-6666 (toll free), or via email to info@utilicor.ca. For safety reasons, this entire Operations Manual should be reviewed prior to operation of the Utilicor Rotary Coring Unit. Failure to review the entire manual prior to commencing operations, or to follow warnings and operating procedures outlined in this manual, may result in damage to the equipment, injury, or possibly death.

Page 18: Suggested Operator Qualification And Training
A valid driver’s license for the appropriate class or level of motor vehicle or piece of equipment being operated. • Successful completion of a practical, on-site training program and operating examination for the Utilicor equipment, administered by a qualified trainer. • First Aid and CPR training. -
Page 19: Pre-Trip Procedure
Circle-Check Safe and reliable operation of any piece of equipment starts with a comprehensive and thorough pre-trip and post trip procedure. Walk around (circle-check) the Utilicor coring equipment to ensure that the unit is safe to operate. Pre-Trip Inspection The following is a suggestion of some important elements of a pre-trip procedure. -
Page 20: Pre-Departure Checklist
(8) Are your Driver's Licensed, H2S, WHIMIS, First Aid certificates and are other necessary documents available and current? (9) Have you completed all other pre-departure checks and procedures mandated by your company?

Page 21: Utilicor Process Pilot Bit And Integral Center Pilot Hole
Utilicor Process, Pilot Bit and Integral Center Pilot Hole The central pilot bit and related pilot hole, are unique to the Utilicor process, and perform four important functions in Rotary Coring and Reinstatement (1) Accuracy: The 2 3/8" PDC central pilot bit, which is integral to the Utilicor coring process, acts as a concentric guide for the coring drum, centering and stabilizing it to ensure a fast and accurate cut. -
Page 22: Tips For A Successful Coring Operation
(2) Before the coring process begins, manipulate the tilt controls on the skid-steer to make sure the minicor-3 is level and flush to the ground. (3) Ensure that the appropriate rate of water is flowing through the pilot bit and the adapter plate inside the drum. - Page 23 (10) Check the coring teeth on the drum regularly for wear. You will save time by cutting with sharp teeth, and reduce the chance of the core becoming stuck inside the drum, which tends to happen once the life of the teeth has been used up. © 2018 Utilicor Technologies Inc. minicor-3 V1.5...
- Page 24 This will result in blown seals on the hydraulic motors. (3) If there is any back pressure in the hydraulic system on the minicor-3™ or skid-steer, engaging the quick connect hydraulic couplers may be difficult. Refer to the operation manual of your skid-steer to determine how to de-energize the hydraulic pressure in the auxiliary lines.

Slowly lower the front of the attachment until it is level to the horizon. - Page 26 (5) Turn on water pump switch on minicor-3™, establish and adjust flow rate of water to cutting drum and pilot bit assembly. → (6) Open the Water Petcock (1/8 turn) → (7) Turn the cutter ON. In the event an emergency or hydraulic failure push the Estop in and all flow will be diverted back to the skid-steer.
- Page 27 PSI. Too much pressure will stop the drum and result in the hydraulic system going to bypass or begin to lift the unit off the ground. If this occurs, back the drum up and resume cutting. © 2018 Utilicor Technologies Inc. minicor-3 V1.5...

Page 31: Step 4: Detach Minicor-3
Step 4: Detach minicor-3™ (1) Disconnect 12 volt connection. (2) Relieve pressure in the skid-steer’s hydraulic system. (Consult skid- steer operations manual). The hydraulic hoses attached to the skid- steer should go limp. (Failing to do this will make it virtually impossible to reconnect the couplings.) -

70° F. Colder temperatures will result in proportionately longer setting times, and higher temperatures will reduce setting times. Contact Utilicor for cold weather reinstatement procedures. (9) To achieve even coverage of the Utilibond™ around the entire core, using the core puller, rock the core back and forth and from side to side until Utilibond™... - Page 33 As the Utilibond™ sets, you will be able to feather it as it gains workability, which will result in a flat and level core reinstatement. IMPORTANT: Always read and follow the instructions in the Utilibond™ pail. © 2018 Utilicor Technologies Inc. minicor-3 V1.5...

Page 34: Winterizing
Obviously the colder the expected temperature, the higher the percentage of glycol to water. Very cold conditions may require pure glycol. Follow the directions and proportions on the anti-freeze. © 2018 Utilicor Technologies Inc. minicor-3 V1.5... -
Page 35: Minicor-3™ Equipment Maintenance
(4) It is important to run the entire system with the glycol mixture before storing the minicor-3, or moving a significant distance during the day. Wind chill factors can greatly reduce effective temperatures and increase the likelihood of freezing, so take this into account when performing the winterizing procedures. - Page 36 (6) Inspect all water fittings / control valves for condition. Repair or replace as required. (7) Keep the minicor-3™ clean. A clean piece of equipment is easier to maintain, easier to inspect for overall condition, will perform better and be safer to operate.
