PMOOM-OL130-05.00Z Transportation Due to the heavy weight of the machine, the MAX K180S should be handled with extra care and only be transported and lifted with leads. When carrying MAX by hand, ensure that you always lift the body of the MAX.
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.
MAX jacking machine should be used at ambient temperatures not lower than + 5 °C. Working in smaller temperatures may cause stop the machine during operation. Operation of MAX K180S only to be carried out by suitably trained, qualified, and certified personnel only. New operators or operators in training should only work under the constant supervision of a fully qualified person.
Drawing 9.2.1 To replace the rear part (Figure 9.2.1.) follow these proceedings: a) Disconnect the machine from the air compressor. b) Place MAX (1) spanner wrench (2) on a solid and stable surface. The spanner wrench’ pins must be placed into the indentations. c) Mount the eye spanner (3) on a part which should be unscrewed (4).
Page 18
To connect the air hose (Figure 9.3.1.) proceed as follows: a) Place the compressor in a safe and stable location, taking into consideration the length of the pneumatic hose and the expected bore’s length. Secure the compressor to avoid unexpected movements. b) Connect the air hose (1) to the compressor, ensure the hose is securely interlocked and the safety rings are tightened.
f) Place the MAX in the Starting Pit and remove the end cap female (4a) from the short hose of the MAX (4). Connect the air hose coming from the lubricator to the short hose of the MAX. Screw with nut firmly together until resistance is felt. Functions of the Lubricator The lubricator ensures that the necessary amount of lubricant is mixed with air and supplied to MAX.
Place the MAX machine into the Start pit and pre-align it to the End pit, then place the TERMA telescopic sight onto the machine. c) 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.
When mole enters the End pit, reduce the air flow. Reversing MAX K180S When the MAX encounters a rock or insurmountable obstacle, or an obstacle that may possibly damage the machine or change its path, MAX can be easily reversed to the starting pit in order to re-start a new borehole.
Do not attempt to working at reverse the mole with air supply valve at maximum position. The air supply valve during the reversing has to be adjusted maximum at ¾ opened. When reversing the MAX, soil and other debris in combination with the exhausted air could be thrown from the back of the MAX.

Figure 9.9.1 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) Introduce the Air hose (5) and the pulling rope (10) into the PE pipe (6).
o) Slowly close the air supply and allow the MAX to stop. p) Disconnect all parts, pulling rope, clamps and tensioner. 9.10 Steel pipe’s ramming For steel pipe ramming the MAX could be equipped with the tool for inserting PE/PVC pipes or with the End nut.
During pipe jacking operation the MAX K180S should not be reversed to return. This would result loose of the connection and could result damaging the cone, tube or straps. During a long-lasting pipe jacking operation the cone, head, pipe and other parts of the machine can get hot, Risk of Burns! Stop the machine after the rammed pipe would reach the end pit.
c) Wait for the pipe to cool and remove the slag from the weld to prevent damage to the pipe plug. d) Insert the foam pipeline pig (2) into the prepared pipe. e) Put the pipe plug (1) inside the pipe and secure it with the locking rods (3). f) Tighten the pipe plug seal with a wrench (60 mm).
Drawing 9.12.1 It is not recommended to use a winch with a pulling force over 1.6 Tons ! To perform a Solo-Boring the following procedures should be adhered to: a) make a solo-bore with your impact mole (see p. 9.6. Solo boring of actual operators instruction).
Drawing 9.13.1 In order to pull the tube ø200 we must proceed to the following: a) To perform operations such as mentioned in point 9.12 from step a) to step e). b) Place in the Start Pit the machine ready for startup, put on her Calibrator PO 219 (4) and put the Tip Towing (5) winch with rope on the head of the machine.
Maintenance It is prohibited to repair, perform internal inspections or carry out any maintenance on MAX. Maintenance only can be performed by a qualified technician who has been trained to perform these jobs, or, alternatively at a manufacturer service center. Technical changes to MAX, repairs and maintenance carried out, outside of a manufacturers service center, will invalidate MAX’s warranty and guarantee claims.
Drawing 10.1.1 10.2 When MAX has not been in use for a while If the machine will not be In use for more than 7 days, it should be property preserved. This is best to be done in our workshop or in one of the workshops of our authorized dealers. If you do not have this possibility, you can do the following: a) By compressed air clean the hose from sand, oil and water with the lubricating valve in closed position (Figure 10.1.1).
Page 31
c) Inspect all components, checking for wear and tear: Piston Front and backside of the piston, for air leaks Control connection Cylinder slide Pistons seal and rings Injection hose sleeves all connections in reverse mechanism Inspection of the Air hose: a) Check injection sleeves.
Troubleshooting Faults Reason Solution Starting problems Air supply valve at the lubricator is Air intake valve to the lubricator opened too slowly needs to be opened quickly Piston is located in the center Change the control valve on the position lubricator quickly from F to R to F Low pressure of the incoming air Adjust the compressor to 7 atm.
