P1: Overloading leads to machine stopping

Solution: Reduce splitting pressure below 260 kg; reposition hole.

P2: Drill rod gets stuck

Solution: Stop, check cause, use push cylinder to free – never pull with excavator boom.

P3: No lubrication applied

Solution: Apply molybdenum disulfide grease to block & T-platform every 3–5 splits.

P4: Hole deviates or bends

Solution: Control drill guidance; replace bent drill pipe.

P5: Position shaft slips

Solution: Use concave ground points for positioning and apply moderate pressure.
