Abstract
A hatch system includes a viewing grate removably coupled with a deck of the drilling machine. The viewing grate includes a frame and a number of bars extending along an oblique direction relative to the frame. The number of bars is spaced apart from each other. The hatch system also includes a hatch assembly disposed at a first oblique angle relative to the deck of the drilling machine. The hatch assembly includes a body and a door that is movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the body. In the open position of the door, an operator seated within an operator cabin can view a drill bit of the drilling machine via the viewing grate. In the closed position of the door, the door isolates the deck from the dust chamber and the door is in line with the viewing grate.
