Safety and operating instructions CT20
Overview
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death to yourself
or others, read the Safety instructions section found on
the previous pages of this manual before operating the
machine.
Design and function

The CHRISTENSEN CT20 uses well proven
technology for diamond core drills combined with new
improvements in order to get easy drill operation.
Hydraulic jacks, mast dump, optional telescopic mast
extension and all controls available at the new control
panel provide the driller an easy set-up. Other features
such as the strong main winch with automatic speed
control and hydraulic rope tensioner, powerful direct
feed cylinder, modern diesel engine, long mast, new
multi function display showing feed rate, rotation
speed, water flow, new rod holder and more features
that gives the CT20 capacity to drill with better
productivity than previous models.
Intended use
The CHRISTENSEN CT20 is a complete, all hydraulic
diamond core drill for surface exploration and
investigation drilling. The CT20 is mounted on a deck
carrier and can be mounted on a truck. All other use
is prohibited. The manufacturer is then not liable for
damage incurred as a result.

Water/Mud pump, Trido 140 The Rope tensioner maintains tension in the wire

information. This tension provides proper wire spooling and
unspooling with no or small loads on the hoisting plug.
The only time when tension is not being applied is
when the main winch brake is released while drilling.
The improved wire spooling due to the Rope tensioner
increases wire service life by preventing wire cross-
over etc.
The Rope tension is created by a hydraulic motor that Water pressure dump valve
is mounted in the crown block and applies torque on
the main sheave through a chain and sprocket bolted
to the main sheave. This applied torque results in wire
tension between the main winch and the sheave. Two
adjustable pressure rollers are provided to push the
rope into the sheave groove and provide sufficient
friction to keep the sheave from spinning under the
wire.
A pressure reducing relieving valve controls the
pressure supplied to the hydraulic motor. With the
valve set at 103 bar (1500 psi), the torque applied to
the sheave produces a pull on the wire of 130 daN
(290 lbf) when the hoisting plug is stationary or when
being lowered. When raising the hoisting plug, the
winch pull required to reverse the sheave is 210 daN
(470 lbf) since the hydraulic motor now acts as a pump
and passes the oil through the relieving section of the
valve. A flow control valve limits the flow to the motor
to 12 l/min (3,2 gal/min) which is sufficient for the
motor to maintain wire tension even when the winch is
lowering the hoisting plug at maximum speed.

the rope tensioner circuit is engaged at all times. The A

Maintenance
The performance and reliability of the product is largely dependent on the amount of care and attention shown to
it. Regular checks and inspection of wear prone components prevent breakdowns and costly downtime. Dirt is a
primary cause for most malfunctions in a hydraulic system.
NOTICE Inproper service and maintenance can cause damage to the drill rig
►Follow
► service and maintenance instructions carefully.
►Follow
► supplier service and maintenance instructions.
♦♦ Always try and keep the core drill clean and free from dirt and other pollutants. It is much easier to detect faults or
oil leakage on clean equipment.
♦♦ Never leave any part of the hydraulic system open or exposed to external influence.
♦♦ Always attach tight-fitting plugs to disconnected hose ends and couplings.
♦♦ Always perform oil refills into the hydraulic oil tank by using the hand pump supplied.
♦♦ Always store fresh oil stocks in sealed containers.
♦♦ Always use TREDO-type seals for sealing threads. Use of Teflon tape, oakum or similar, could damage sensitive
components in the system if fragments dislodge and enter the system.
♦♦ Only use Atlas Copco original parts when servicing the drill unit.
The maintenance sections gives instructions to lubrication, inspection procedures and measures to take, following
a specific number of operating hours. Use this section to get the most out of your equipment and always follow the
instructions given.

Lubricant recommendations
Lubricant Check points Recommendation

Hydraulic oil Hydraulic system Use mineral-based hydraulic oil with good anti-wear, rust (oxidation) and foam inhibiting
properties, as well as effective air and water separation abilities. The viscosity grade should
correspond to the ambient temperature and ISO 3448, as follows:
Ambient temp. °C (°F) Viscosity grade Viscosity index
+25 to +50 (77 to 104) ISO VG 68 Minimum 150
0 to +25 (32 to 77) ISO VG 46 Minimum 150
-30 to 0 (-22 to +32) ISO VG 32 Minimum 150
