1. GENERAL
These instructions describe in brief the main maintenance procedures for HLX5T and
HFX5T hydraulic rock drills.
Service is always ready to help and give advice in all maintenance problems. The qualified
TAMROCK maintenance personnel of your TAMROCK dealer and original TAMROCK
spare parts ensure reliable operation of your drilling equipment.
2. TAKING A NEW ROCK DRILL IN USE

2.1. Preparations
New rock drills are delivered with the pressure accumulators not
pressurized and the hose connections plugged.
CAUTION
Pressurize the accumulators according to the instructions. See “Pressure accumulator,

Repair instructions”.
Before a new rock drill is installed the drilling equipment hydraulic system must be
checked and flushed thoroughly.
2.2. Test run

Test run the rock drill and make sure that it operates properly before starting production
drilling.
During test run observe:
-- shank lubrication
-- flushing
-- pressures and temperatures
-- possible oil leakages
Avoid use of full percussion power if the steel is not against the rock.
This will reduce the breakage of the accumulator’s diaphragm, the wear
of flushing housing, drilling tools and the cavitation of the percussion
CAUTION
mechanism. This type of ”idling drilling” is the most critical while drilling
upwards or cleaning the holes with pumping motion.

4. LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The rock drill percussion mechanism and the rotation motor are lubricated by the hydraulic
oil flowing through them.
Fig 2. Lubrication scheme
The rotation mechanism and the shank have oil mist lubrication. The lubrication line from
the central oiler is connected to end of the rock drill. From there the oil mist is ducted
through piston rear end to the front end of the rock drill where the flow will lubricate the
rotation mechanism, coupling and the bushing of the flushing housing.
Leakage oil from the rear seals of piston is also ducted to the front end of the rock drill
through hole.
The oil that has circulated through the rock drill lubrication system is removed through the
shank lubrication collector or can be led via return channels and spacer to the feed rail.
Never connect the used oil mist to the hydraulic system return line.

5. REMOVING FRONT END WITH ROCK DRILL ON FEED RAIL
When you remove the flushing housing and shank, turn the rock drill to a
horizontal position. The rotation bushing and the coupling can fall out
and cause injury.
WARNING
If the shank lubrication is clogged (no air comes from the shank
lubrication return hose), stop the compressor. Before opening the
flushing housing bolts, carefully open the locking screw and let the air
WARNING pressure out. Otherwise the air pressure can blow / burst out the flushing
housing and cause injury.
The flushing housing can be removed when the rock drill is in the feed rail. Through
opening the bolts (4), the flushing housing (1), shank (2), and coupling (3) can be removed
without removing the rock drill from the feed rail. The rotation sleeve (6) can be pulled out
by opening the screw (5). The screw (5) prevents the rotation sleeve from dropping, for
example, when the shank is changed. Check the condition of the stabilizer pins (7).

5.1. Replacing the flushing housing seals and the seal housing guide
rings
Flushing housing seals (A) 5 pcs and the seal housing guide rings (B) 2 pcs must be
replaced when the flushing air or water escapes from the sides of the seal housing, and
they should be checked whenever the shank is changed. Seals are easier to install when
they are lubricated. Install the new flushing housing seals making sure they face the right
direction (shown in the figure). The use of a spare flushing housing is recommended, as
it speeds up on--site maintenance of the rock drill.

6. CHECKING AND TIGHTENING BOLTS AND TIE RODS

Perhaps the most important maintenance task is to check the tightness of the bolts,
particularly the tie rods and mounting bolts. Loose tie rods cause rapid wear of the
body section faces, shortening the service life of the rock drill.
If the threads are not clean the bolts cannot be tightened correctly. In such cases the bolt
must be removed, and the threads checked, cleaned, and lubricated with Vaseline.
Following procedure is recommended for checking the bolt tightness during
normal maintenance:
1. Check the tightness each bolt by using 10 % higher torque than specified.
2. The joint being tested is loose if the wrench turns. In this case loosen all the
bolts being tested and retighten in the correct order.
3. If the threads are dirty, clean the threads, check them, and lubricate with
grease.
Use only an inspected, high-- quality torque wrench.

7. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
7.1. General
The idea of periodic maintenance is that the rock drill is serviced before any breakdown
occurs. This way expensive additional damages and unwanted stops can be avoided.
The maintenance interval is 500 percussion hours, but depends on the local conditions,
and it must therefore be determined according to this experience.
Searching for the correct maintenance interval, it is advisable to start the periodic
maintenance as specified, and then lengthen the intervals until a period that suits the local
conditions has been found.
In addition the rock drill should always be taken in for service when the operator reports
of a fault that can cause major damage or a production stop.
7.2. Maintenance tools and parts

Tools required for maintenance:
1. Torque wrench
2. Socket, 24 mm
3. Ring spanner head, 24 mm
4. Spanner, 19 mm
5. Extension
6. Check gauge for low--pressure accumulator
7. Check gauge for high--pressure accumulator

7.3. Every day

1. Check the flushing housing for water and air leaks.
2. Check flushing housing bolt tightness.
3. Check for possible oil leaks.
4. Check hoses and connections.
7.4. Every week

1. Check hour meter reading.
2. Check accumulator filling valves and their protective caps and the accumulator
bolt tightness.
3. Check accumulator pressures.
-- High pressure accumulator . . . 50 bar
-- Low pressure accumulator . . . 4 bar
-- Stabilator accumulator . . . . . . . 8 bar
4. Check condition of shank, chuck, flushing housing, coupling, shank bushing and
rotation bushing.
5. Check tie rod tightness. If loose, tighten them.
7.5. Basic maintenance

Rock drill basic maintenance is recommended every 500 operating hours, Cf. “Repair
Instructions’’. This maintenance interval can be adjusted according to local conditions and
experiences which are accumulated to the rock drill maintenance history. Do planned and
preventive maintenance rather than repairs after damages.
Monitor percussion hour meter reading and / or drilled meters / shifts between each
maintenance. Fill in the service card of the rock drill.
7.6. After rock drill service

After rock drill service the reassembled parts will settle down to their proper position during
drilling under normal drilling loads. Especially when parts have worn surfaces it may result
that the tie rods and the mounting bolts do not keep their tightness. Therefore a
re--tightening of these bolts is required after each rock drill service or if the rock
drill has been off the feed rail.
After rock drill service and 1 round / 100--300 meters drilling:
1. Re--tighten the rock drill mounting bolts on the feed rail.
2. Re--tighten the rock drill tie rods and flushing device bolts.

7.7. Service card

Each rock drill has its own service cards. When a rock drill is taken up for maintenance,
all the earlier cards should be at hand. All relevant information about the maintenance
must be written down on the card. When the rock drill is again taken into use, the next
maintenance date should be written down on the card. Benefits of the card:
-- Wear of every specific component of each rock drill is clearly displayed, and by
comparing the cards the effect of different circumstances and measures can be
determined.
-- The cards help in determining maintenance required to prevent major damage.
-- Properly filled cards show the complete maintenance history of the rock drill.
-- The cards help to determine the point when the rock drill should be scrapped.
-- Use service card presented on the next page.
7.8. Service follow--up

In order to follow the maintenance of a rock drill, a maintenance card presented next page
can be used.

4. TEST RUN
General
After completed maintenance, the rock drill can be tested in the TAMROCK Service
Container using the hydraulic powerpack. Test run can be carried out on the floor of the
service container with the rock drill lying on a piece of cushion rubber, for instance.
The rock drill may not be test run on the assembly stand! The shank must
be removed before test run.
CAUTION
The purpose of test run is to check the operation of the percussion and rotation
mechanism of the rock drill, and to see if any major leaks are observed. When testing the
rotation mechanism, the hoses to the percussion mechanism must be connected to the
rock drill to enable the internal lubrication of the rotation motor to operate.
Wear hearing protectors when the powerpack is running!
WARNING!
Before test run

1. Using a double nipple, connect the hoses of the powerpack to make a loop so that
the lines of both pumps form their own closed circuits.
2. Start the powerpack.
3. Pull the levers of both control valves into operating position, whereby oil starts
flowing through the systems in free circulation.
4. Allow the powerpack to run for about 3 minutes, after which it is ready for test run.

Repair instructions
1. GENERAL
As in all hydraulic machinery so also in hydraulic drill rigs cleanness is the most important
consideration if trouble--free operation is to be ensured. We therefore recommend that all
maintenance work of the accumulators is done in a clean and dustless room.
The condition of pressure accumulator should be checked always when the accumulator
is dismantled and when the rock drill is overhauled. The rock drill special tool set includes
all the tools needed in maintenance and checking the accumulators.
Experiences have shown that the first (originally fitted) accumulator diaphragm does not
reach the normal service life, particularly if the time interval between the pressurization
and taking into use is long. For this reason the accumulators supplied as spares are
unpressurized. There is a note of this on the accumulator.
The accumulator bottom and cover should always be kept as a pair. Tamrock supplies
covers and bottoms only as a pair; other parts such as diaphragms and filling valves can
be obtained separately.
Only qualified service personnel may service the pressure

accumulators. The following instructions must be strictly observed;
failure to do so may cause a danger of accident.
WARNING
Before removing the accumulator from the rock drill, discharge the
accumulator pressure by opening the filling valve.
WARNING
Repair of a pressure accumulator by welding or by other means is strictly

forbidden.
WARNING
While using the gauge, the pressure relief hole must always be pointed
to the opposite direction from any persons close by to avoid personal
injures in case the sudden pressure discharge.

2. CHECKING THE FILLING GAS PRESSURE

Check the accumulator filling gas pressure once a week. The rock drill special tool set
includes two pressure gauges for this purpose: one gauge with the scale 0...100 bar for
the high pressure accumulator, and the other with the scale 0...10 bar for the low pressure
accumulator.
a b
1. Remove the cap (a).

2. Screw the pressure gauge to the filling valve.
3. Undo the lock nut (b).
4. Wait until the needle of the gauge stops and then read the gauge indication.
5. Close the lock nut (b).
6. Unscrew the gauge from the filling valve and fit the cap (a) in place.
3. REMOVING THE PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR FROM THE ROCK

DRILL
Pressure accumulator can be changed without demounting the rock drill from the feed.
If you for some reason cannot immediately install a new accumulator, must the open oil
channels be covered thoroughly with eg. plastic plugs.
1. Discharge the accumulator pressure by opening the filling valve!

2. Undo the accumulator bolts (wrench size 24 mm).
Do not start the hydraulic power pack if an accumulator is not in place in

the rock drill.

4. DISMANTLING THE PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR
Before dismantling the accumulator, be sure it has no pressure.
WARNING
1. Fasten the assembly stand (1) in the vice, and place the accumulator in the stand
with the bottom upwards.
2. The same number appears both on the accumulators cover as well as on the
bottom. The cover and the bottom must remain paired.
3. Make sure that the filling valve is open!
4. Open the accumulator bottom with the opener (2).
5. CHECKING THE PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR
1. Check the accumulator visually for wear, damage, corrosion, etc.

2. Clean and check the threads carefully.

4. Screw the bottom all the way in and tighten it with the special tool to a torque of
150 Nm.
D When the pressure accumulator diaphragm is changed, the O--rings (b) should
also be changed.
Check the wear limit marks of the threads always after tightening (150 Nm) of the bottom.
If the mark (I) in the bottom remains after the tightening between the dot (S) and the mark
(R) in the cover, the thread is in order.
If the mark (I) in the bottom goes beyond the mark (R), are the threads of the accumulator
cover and bottom too much worn. Replace the accumulator and discard the old one.
A worn--out or damaged pressure accumulator must be discarded
immediately.

7.3. Filling pressures of accumulators
7.3.1. Low pressure accumulator (LP)

Low pressure accumulator damps hydraulic vibrations in the return line. It also prevents
cavitation in return lines and channels. To get the optimum result of LP--accumulator, gas
pressure should be half of the return line pressure. Normally it is from 3 to 5 bars.
7.3.2. High pressure accumulator (HP)

The main function of high pressure accumulator is to store pressurised oil during the
return stroke of the piston. This stored pressure can be utilized during the next piston
stroke. Another vital function is to dampen vibrations. HP--accumulator gas pressure
should be related to the set max. percussion pressure according to graph below.
