  • Page 13: Transportation

    PMOOM-OL130-05.00Z Transportation Due to the heavy weight of the machine, the MAX K160S should be handled with extra care and only be transported and lifted with leads. When moving the MAX by hand, ensure that you always lift the body of the MAX.
  • Page 14: Preparations Before Use

    Drawing 7.1 The machine should be securely moved and lifted by straps at the front and back of the cylinder, in such a manner that sliding out is avoided (Drawing 7.1.). Make sure there are no persons under a lifted device! Persons under the load are in a danger zone for themselves and others.
  • Page 15: Target Pit

    The MAX should only be operated when all parts (lubricator, hoses, accessories) have been secured and checked. Convert the MAX K160S After each action (Solo-Boring or Pipe pulling) the MAX can be upgraded via (Screwing or unscrewing the accessories):...

To change the rear part (Drawing 9.2.1.) follow these proceedings: a) Disconnect the air compressor.
  • Page 17: Connecting The Air Hose

    i) Tightening with spanner and hammer. Connecting the Air Hose Before connecting, blow air through the air hose to remove dirt or any other debris or contamination. To connect the air hose (Drawing 9.3.1.) proceed as follows: a) Place the compressor in a safe and stable location; take into consideration the distance from the MAX to the starting pit and the length of the drill to be carried out.
  • Page 18: Functions Of The Lubricator

    FORWARD REVERSE Drawing 9.4.1 Alignment of the MAX K160S For accurate aiming of the MAX in the starting pit, we recommend using the Optical Level Set. To aim the machine precisely follow these steps: a) Position a surveying stake in the End pit in the place where the end of the borehole should be located.
  • Page 19: Solo-Boring

    With a help of TERMA telescopic sight you have to align the MAX machine to the surveying stake by changing horizontal and vertical position of the machine. Solo-Boring For this action the machine should have the End Screw To perform Solo-Boring the MAX must be equipped with the air hose pulling eye.
  • Page 20: Reversing Max K160S

    At all times, a good flow of lubricator is required. k) When MAX enters the End pit, reduce the air flow. Reversing MAX K160S When the MAX encounters a rock or insurmountable obstacle, the tool is pushed off course. The reciprocating action of MAX, however, will break a rock up and allow the tool to pass.
  • Page 21: Manual Pulling Of Plastic Pipes

    Manual pulling of plastic pipes For installing PE, PVC pipes (manually) the Insert nipple (1) could be used (Figure 9.8.1.). This method can be used for pipes of diameter 25÷55 mm. Figure 9.8.1 To insert pipes manually proceed to the following steps: a) When the MAX has completely cleared the borehole, disconnect the Air Hose from the machine (2) than disconnect the Air Hose from the Lubricator (The air hose stays in the borehole)
  • Page 22: Installing Steel Pipes (Ramming-Jacking)

    For the immediate retraction of PE, PVC pipes please proceed as follows: a) Follow the procedures as with Solo Bore, repeat step a to f. b) MAX needs to stop when it is for ¾ of the length into the soil c) Disconnect the air hose (5) from the small connection hose at the MAX d) Air hose and pulling rope (10) to be placed in the pipe (6) insert e) Then forward the tied hose after pulling the rope, separate from each other again.

    b) The steel pipe in the starting pit, placed in the direction of the planned installation. c) Cone (4) to be placed in the steel pipe. d) Prepare the ground that machine and pipe are on same level of height. e) MAX with the head forwards to be positioned in the cone (4) with help of the straps (5) establish connection with the pipe.
  • Page 24 Drawing 9.11.1 To remove soil and debris from a rammed pipe, follow these steps: a) clean the inside of the pipe from the ground to a depth of approximately 34xD (D - pipe’s diameter). b) make four through holes in the pipe for the locking rods (3) according to the figure 9.11.2. Drawing 9.11.2 c) Wait for the pipe to cool and remove the slag from the weld to prevent damage to the pipe plug.

    The area where work is carried should be marked and locked to avoid unauthorized entry to the site! m) If the removing does not start after 2 minutes the compressor needs to be switched off. n) The operator should slowly release air pressure by gently opening the valve (6). o) Remove the pipe plug and the foam pipeline pig.

    e) reinstall Tip Towing (3) on the mole and place the mole in a pre-made hole. f) using Winch to towing make a hole using Calibrator. It is important to keep a permanent tension on the rope! g) After the machine has reached the target pit it is required to remove all accessories and return the machine by using the reverse handle on the lubricator.
  • Page 27: After Care

    9.14 After care Each time that the hose is disconnected, the security cap should be placed, to avoid any debris entering the hoses. Do the same when disconnecting the connectors on the MAX. It is especially important to place the security cap on the short connecting hose for the MAX, as debris inside this hose cannot be blown out by air.
