ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
4.2 Taking a new rock drill to use

4.2.1 Preparations
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!
NOTICE The new rock drill is supplied with unpressurized accumulators and
plugged hose connections.
• Pressurize the accumulators and connect the hoses before taking the
rock drill into use.
• Follow the instructions when pressurizing the accumulators. See manual
“Pressure accumulator for hydraulic rock drill; Maintenance instructions”.
The filling pressures are:
- High-pressure accumulator = 40 bar.
- Low-pressure accumulator = 4 bar.
• With a new rock drill, a hydraulic check and system flushing must be
performed before the rock drill is installed.
4.3 Test run
WARNING
NOISE HAZARD!
Continuous exposure to noise above 80 dB (A) could cause hearing
impairment.
Wear approved hearing protectors.
RISK OF DAMAGING THE ROCK DRILL!

Avoid using full percussion pressure when the drill bit is not in
contact with the rock, as this can strain the accumulator membranes
NOTICE and cause cavitation in the percussion mechanism. Such "idle
drilling" is especially likely when drilling upward and when cleaning
holes by pumping.

NOTICE It is forbidden to test run the rock drill onto the assembly stand!
The shank must be removed before the test run.
When the maintenance is complete, the rock drill should be tested in the
service facility using hydraulic power pack before attaching it onto the drill
rig.
The purpose of the test run is to check the operation of the percussion and
rotation mechanisms of the rock drill, and to detect any possible leaks.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
When testing the rotation mechanism, the percussion mechanism hoses

must be connected to the rock drill in order to enable the operation of the
internal lubrication of the rotation motor.
During the test run, observe the following:
• the operation of the shank lubrication
• the flushing operation
• the pressures and the temperature
• possible oil leaks.
Sandvik recommends that the rock drill is tested on the light test bench.
The manual explaining the test procedure is supplied with the light test
bench.
To get more information about light test bench, please contact to:
sfdrills.partssupport@sandvik.com.
4.3.1 Warming the hydraulic oil before the test run
1. Using a double nipple (A), connect the hoses of the power pack (B) to
make a loop so that the lines of both pumps form their own closed
circuits.
2. Turn on the power pack.
3. Pull the levers of the percussion and rotation control valves into operating
position.
Oil starts flowing through the systems in free circulation.
4. Allow the power pack to run for about 3 minutes, after which it is ready
for the test run.

2. Make sure that
a) there is enough oil in the tank
b) the control valve (4) and (5) levers are in neutral position.
3. Start the powerpack.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
4. Start percussion with the control valve (4).

Adjust the percussion pressure to 80 ... 100 bar.
5. Start rotation with the control valve (5).
Change the direction of rotation by moving the lever to the other extreme
position.
6. Continue the test run for about 5 minutes, and observe possible leaks.
4.4 Lubrication circulation

4.4.1 Percussion mechanism and rotation motor
The percussion mechanism and the rotation motor of the rock drill are
lubricated by the hydraulic oil flowing through them.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
4.4.2 Shank lubrication circulation

Proper shank lubrication is necessary to avoid serious damage to
NOTICE the rock drill. Inadequate lubrication causes the rotation bushing and
shank to overheat leading to rapid wear of these components.
Overheating of the shank also causes shank breakage.

NOTICE In no event is oil mist to be conveyed into the hydraulic system
return line.
The rotation mechanism and shank are lubricated via oil mist lubrication.
The lubrication hose from the shank lubrication device is attached to the
middle portion of the rock drill (SL). From there, the oil mist passes to the
front end of the rock drill, where it lubricates the rotation mechanism, chuck,
coupling, and flushing housing bearing.
Oil mist that has travelled through the rock drill's lubrication circulation
system is removed from the rock drill through the flushing housing fitting
(SR). This used lubrication oil can be conveyed to a receptacle with a hose.

Adjusting the shank lubrication device

Monitor the oil consumption from the shank lubrication recovery line (if
available).
The oil consumption should be 100–200 g/h. If necessary, turn the mixture
adjusting screw or adjust the SLU setting accordingly.

5 ROCK DRILL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Scheduled maintenance
The idea of scheduled maintenance is to take the rock drill in for servicing
before a failure stops it during operation. This will prevent expensive
consequential failures and downtime that adversely affects production.
The maintenance interval varies according to local conditions and must
therefore be determined on the basis of experience.
When defining the correct maintenance interval, initially the scheduled
maintenance table should be consulted first and then the maintenance
interval should be adjusted until a suitable maintenance interval for local
conditions is determined.
In addition to this, the rock drill should undergo maintenance whenever the
operator reports a malfunction that could lead to a failure or production
downtime.
5.2 Tools needed for on-site maintenance

• Check gauge for low-pressure accumulator
• Check gauge for high-pressure accumulator
• Torque wrench
• Socket extension
• Hexagon head socket, 10 mm
• Socket, 16 mm
• Socket, 17 mm
• Socket, 24 mm
• Socket, 30 mm
• Bracket for pressure accumulators
• Filling device for pressure accumulators
• Opener for pressure accumulators
• Copper hammer
• Lifting lug, M16x24
• Ring spanner, 19 mm
• Hook set for seals
• Punch for disassembling the D38 flushing housing
5.3 Daily maintenance

5.3.1 Hydraulic rock drill RD314
Checking the percussion hour-meter reading

Check the percussion hour-meter reading.
According to the reading of the percussion hour-meter, it is easier to
schedule the next maintenance date.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
Checking the possible leaks

1. Check the rock drill for leaks.
Determine the cause for the leak and repair the leak source to avoid
further damage.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
Checking the flushing housing seals

Check the seals whenever the shank is changed.
Drain hole and SR-line, D45 Drain holes, D38
1. Start the flushing.

2. Check the condition of the flushing housing seals.
The flushing housing seals must be replaced when the flushing water
escapes through the drain hole(s).
3. Stop the flushing.
In the D45 flushing housing, the front seal leakage can only be detected by
checking the shank lubrication return (SR) line. If there is water among the
shank lubrication oil in the return line, the front seal is leaking and must be
replaced immediately.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
Installing the flushing housing seals

When installing the new seals, make sure they are installed in the right
direction.

5.4 Rock drill maintenance

5.4.1 Before changing the bushings and bearings
The best method for installing the bushings and bearings is to take
advantage of temperature differences. The force needed in installation is
smaller when using cooled bushings and warm parts.
Before starting of the maintenance work, put the new bushings in the
freezer.
After removing the bushings and/or bearings, wash the other parts with hot
water, do not heat the parts.
Note! Do not install seals to the cold parts, they may become brittle and
break. Let the parts warm up before installing the new seals.

Checking the accumulator pressure

An empty pressure accumulator causes cavitation, which will
NOTICE damage the rock drill.
Check the accumulator pressure regularly. Change or repair the
accumulator immediately if there is no pressure.
Check the accumulator pressure every 50 hours or earlier, if necessary.

Pressure loss may be a result of a damaged filling valve or a broken
diaphragm. Replace the filling valve and the diaphragm to ensure flawless
operation of the accumulator.
1. Check the accumulator pressure.
Detailed instructions are in the manual ”Pressure accumulator for
hydraulic rock drill”.
Checking the tightness of the bolts

Checking the tightness of the bolts is an important maintenance procedure
for a rock drill.
Check the bolts during regular maintenance.
Note! Only use a calibrated, high-quality torque wrench.
1. Check the tightness of the bolts.

When checking the tightness of the bolts, use the correct tightening
sequence and a tightening torque 10% greater than what is specified. A
bolt is too loose if it can turn. In this case, other appropriate bolts must be
loosened and re-tightened according to the tightening instructions.
The bolts cannot be tightened to the correct tension if the threads are not
clean. If necessary, clean and check the threads and lubricate them with
grease.

Rock drill overhaul

The rock drill should be disassembled and its components checked
regularly.
The recommended maintenance interval for the rock drill overhaul is 500
percussion hours, but the interval varies according to local conditions and
must therefore be determined on the basis of experience. It is better to
perform preventive maintenance than repair the machine after the damage
has already happened.
Write down the percussion hours and/or number of meters drilled per shift
during each maintenance interval. Fill in the rock drill maintenance card.
Overhaul instructions and maintenance tasks are defined in the rock drill
technical manual, chapter "Rock drill overhaul".

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
After rock drill service

After the maintenance is complete, the reinstalled components, especially
when surfaces are worn, settle into their proper places for a while, causing
the side bolts and mounting bolts to loosen.
Following maintenance, re-tighten the side bolts and mounting bolts
after drilling about 100–200 meters.
5.5 Service follow-up

When a rock drill is brought in for maintenance, the previous maintenance
cards must be available. The card is filled in with as much information
about the maintenance as possible.
The maintenance card indicates the replacement rate of parts in each rock
drill, and the effect of different conditions and procedures can be seen by
comparing the various cards.
• The card must be available for preventive maintenance.
• A properly completed card contains the entire maintenance history of a
rock drill.
• The card simplifies the decision to scrap an old machine.

5.6.2 Rock drill overhaul instructions

The following instructions are intended for persons servicing and repairing
Sandvik hydraulic rock drills. Disassembling and assembling the rock drill
requires expertise and familiarity with the rock drill.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
High pressure could cause death or severe injury.
Release the accumulator pressure before performing maintenance
work on the rock drill.
Before pressurizing a pressure accumulator, install it to the rock
drill. Do not pressurize a pressure accumulator if it is not installed to
a rock drill.
WARNING
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Tilting assembly stand could cause severe injury.
Always use a hoist when tilting the rock drill in the assembly stand.
Follow the instructions in the regular maintenance table. With regular

preventive maintenance, optimal utilization is achieved. Replace any worn
part promptly to avoid more serious damage.
Before performing installation, carefully check that the parts are clean since
even new parts can be dirty (a bottle brush is useful for cleaning the
components of the rock drill cylinder). The use of unauthorized, i.e. non-
OEM, spare parts has been found to cause increased costs in almost all
cases. The warranty for the entire system becomes void immediately if any
part is replaced with a non-OEM part.
Checking the tightness of the side bolts is one of the most important
maintenance procedures for a rock drill. Neglecting this procedure can
cause rapid wear of the rock drill frame's end faces.
Check the wear of the parts. See wear limits for section "Wear limits and
wear parts".
After the rock drill overhaul, perform a test run to the rock drill before
mounting it to the drill rig.
Disassembly of the rock drill

Before disassembly, the rock drill must be washed externally with, for
example, high-pressure water. In addition, we recommend that the rock drill
is washed externally with a brush and appropriate solvent before it is
brought to the final repair location.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
Removing the seals

The seals are the most sensitive and important components of a rock drill.
When disassembling a rock drill, always replace all seals and O-rings.
Be careful not to scratch the seal grooves and components inside the rock
drill.
NOTICE Do not scratch the seal grooves.

5.6.19 Assembly
Before assembly:
1. Remove old O-rings and seals.
2. Clean all parts thoroughly.
3. Check the condition of the parts.
4. Lubricate parts using a generous amount of lubricant.
Installing seals
1. Warm the seals in oil (to 50–60 ºC) to facilitate the installation.
2. Lubricate the O-ring and the outer surface of the seal, and install the O-
ring (1) first.
Do not roll the O-ring into the groove.
3. Bend the seal with your fingers as shown in the figure so that the bend
indicated with an arrow is as smooth as possible.
Use only your fingers; not your fingernails.
In particular, the seal lip (A) is easily damaged by, for example, careless
handling during installation of seals.
4. Install the seal in place by pressing it with fingers lightly and equally on
both sides so that the seal settles in the correct position.
Do not use any tool to press the seal.
5. Calibrate the seals. Use plenty of oil on the seal and gently push the part
to be installed over the seal.

ID: BG00482991 en-US B.001.1 2015-06-09
Storage of the seals

Most rubber parts change in physical properties during storage and can
become unserviceable due to hardening, softening, cracking, or other
surface degradation.
Follow these rules to keep the seals in good condition:
• Keep the storage temperature between +0º C and +25º C. If the
temperature goes below +0º C, the seal temperature should be increased
slowly to room temperature, before assembling. Direct contacts to
heaters, ovens, radiators, and direct sunlight should be avoided.
• The relative humidity should be below 70%. Condensation of water
should not occur. Seals should not be stored when they are moist.
• Store parts in individual UV-resistant bags. Direct sunlight or artificial light
with ultraviolet content can be disastrous.
• Keep ventilation low, if the seals are not stored in air tight bags.
• Do not store seals near the apparatus that generates a lot of ozone (e.g.
powerful fluorescent lamp, devices with high tension current, big electric
motors, or devices which can cause electric sparking).
• Store the seals without the tension (e.g. do not keep the seal fitted in a
subassembly like a valve or a cylinder).
• Never wash the rubber seals with solvent. Only use water and soap to
wash, if needed. Do not store seals in contact with dissolvents.
• Do not keep seals in storage for more than five years, even when storing
them in good conditions (as described above). After five years properties
of the seals will be lost gradually, but not totally.
