Safety
When maintenance work is carried out on the rig, observe the following points:

• Never perform service or maintenance work while the rig is running


• To prevent personal injury during service and maintenance work, all components
that can be brought into motion or fall down must be thoroughly secured.
• Ensure that the hydraulic and pneumatic systems are depressurised before starting
work on them.
• All controls must be inactivated during service and maintenance.
• When changing hydraulic hoses, ensure they are replaced with hydraulic hoses fit-
ted with the correct crimp couplings of correct quality and dimension. All pressu-
rised hydraulic hoses have crimped couplings and should therefore be purchased
ready made from Atlas Copco. Quality classes and hose dimensions are specified
in the spare parts catalogue. Ensure also that all hose connections are clean,
undamaged and securely tightened.

Target group and objective


Note
This chapter (General) contains general recommendations for maintenance of the
drill rig and its peripheral equipment. This means that certain sections may not be
fully adapted to individual components.

The maintenance instructions are intended for mechanics and personnel in mainte-
nance and service. The user should have undergone Atlas Copco's training courses
for the equipment concerned.

The objective of these maintenance instructions is to detect and rectify faults at an


early stage so that breakdowns, costly secondary damage and accidents can be pre-
vented. Regular maintenance is a precondition for planning necessary interruptions in
operation such as reconditioning and repairs. This allows maintenance to be carried
out when most suitable with regard to production instead of causing complete break-
down.

Signs for outsourced components


Signs are placed on the larger components of the drill rig. When ordering spare parts
or making enquiries in regard to the drill rig, the type designation and serial number
must always be stated. Type designations and serial numbers are specified in a sepa-
rate document, DRI (Drill Rig Identification). Spare parts can always be ordered
through Atlas Copco.

Dismantling and assembly

CAUTION
• Exercise extreme caution when slinging
and hoisting heavy objects
• Can cause personal injury
• Hoisting must take place at the centre of
gravity
• Only use slings which are intact and
designed for the load they shall carry
• Secure the slings in the lifting eyes,
where available

Before transporting in shafts or the like it may be necessary to fully or partially dis-
mantle the drill rig. Observe the following when dismantling, lifting and assembling:

• Before dismantling, hose the entire rig clean with water and/or detergent contain-
ing a grease solvent.
• Observe the strictest cleanliness when dismantling hydraulic, compressed air and
drilling-water hoses. Immediately plug all hoses, nipples and hydraulic oil pipes,
or seal and protect them from dirt in some other suitable way.
• Mark hoses, pipes and other connections, where this has not already been done, to
make reassembly easier and prevent confusion.
• Use properly secured lifting tackle of generous dimensions.

Note
When the drill rig is scrapped, all materials that are harmful to the environment must
be disposed of in a manner prescribed by the authorities.

15
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Scrapping
When the entire drill rig or part of the rig is to be scrapped, local regulations in force
regarding handling, waste management, recycling and destruction must be followed.
Collect and dispose of:

• Rest oil and oil spill


• Oil waste such as filters
• Rest fuel and fuel spill
• Rest grease and grease spill
• Batteries
• Discarded refrigerant, air conditioning
• Chemicals such as flushing additives, other additives and coolants.
• Metals, e.g. steel and aluminium (metals that are recyclable)
• Plastics and rubber (often marked in various classifications for recycling)
• Electrical components such as cables, electronics

module (A).
1250 0097 60

Figure:

• Grind off rust and paint from the area that is to be welded and carefully prepare the
joint.
• Weld in a dry area.

17
Maintenance instructions
1. General

• Connect the welding earth cable to a clean surface as close as possible to the weld-
ing area. Avoid welding close to bearings and bushes. If these cannot be removed,
connect earth cables on both sides of the weld.
• Alterations and reinforcements must not be made without previous consultation
with Atlas Copco.
• Do NOT weld hydraulic tanks, valve blocks, compressed air tanks or pressure
lines.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher for oil fires near at hand during all types of weld-
ing, cutting and grinding. Screen off the work area from flammable materials.
• Always protect hoses, cables and electric components.
• Grind off spatter after welding. If possible, also grind the surface of the weld
smooth and treat it with anti-corrosion paint.

Electrode recommendations
Use only intact and clean electrodes that have been stored in a dry place. The gener-
ally recommended type of electrode is ESAB OK 48.00, ESAB OK 48.30 or the
equivalent in accordance with the standard below:

ISO: 2560 E51 5B 120 20 H
SS: 14 3211 H10
DIN 1913: E51 55 B10
AWS: A/SFA 5.1 E 7018

The use of MIG welding equipment is perfectly acceptable. The generally recom-
mended type of electrode is ESAB-OK Autorod 12.51 or the equivalent in accord-
ance with the standard below:

Battery

Environmental considerations regarding batteries

ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTIONS

• Think of the environment!


• Batteries contain acids and heavy metals.
For this reason, expended batteries can
be hazardous to the environment and to
health.
• Expended batteries must be sent for
destruction in accordance with local
regulations.

Charging the battery

WARNING
• Risk of fire and explosion
• May cause serious personal injury and
damage to property
• Flammable hydrogen gas
• Corrosive fluid
• Avoid naked flames and sparks
• Always detach the negative terminal first,
and connect it last

The battery is normally charged by the drill rig's generator. If the battery is fully dis-
charged for some reason, it must be recharged using a battery charger. Follow the
instructions carefully. Cell plugs should be unscrewed but left in the holes during
charging.

23
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Explosive gas is formed in the battery during charging. A short circuit, naked flame
or spark in the vicinity of the battery could cause a serious explosion. Ensure good
ventilation. Always turn off the charge current before disconnecting the clips. If the
density has not risen noticeably despite a number of hours of recharging, the battery
is probable expended.

Rapid charging, when carried out correctly, will not damage the battery. However, it
should not be undertaken too often and is not recommended for old batteries.

Repeated discharging for long periods, especially with low current such as leaving
the lights on while the engine is stationary, will impair the service life of the battery.
Discharging with high current is not normally harmful. The battery must be left to
rest between start attempts, however.

Since the drill rig's 24V electrical system is powered by two 12V batteries in series,
the following points should be observed:

• The batteries must have the same capacity (Ah).


• The batteries must be the same age. This is because the charging current required
to bring a battery up to a certain voltage changes with age.
• The batteries must not be loaded unevenly.
• Series coupling maintains the same capacity but increases the voltage (double).
When 2 x 12V 60Ah batteries are connected in series, the voltage will be 24V but
the capacity remains at 60Ah.
• Ensure that the correct voltage is used before connecting a battery charger. Use a
24V charger when recharging both batteries and a 12V charger when charging
each battery individually.

Proceed as follows (24V charger)


Before charging
1. Inactivate battery switch S300.

2. Detach the cable between chassis earth and the negative cable on the battery G1B.

3. Connect the positive battery charger cable to the positive terminal on G1A.

4. Connect the negative charger cable to the negative terminal on G1B.

5. Start the battery charger.

After charging
1. Turn off the battery charger

2. Detach the battery charger's negative lead from the negative terminal on G1B.

3. Detach the battery charger's positive lead from the positive terminal on G1A.

positive terminal on battery G1B.

3. Connect the cable between chassis earth and the negative terminal on G1B.

4. Activate battery switch S300.

Starting with an auxiliary battery


Note
Owing to the surge of current, the batteries could explode if a fully-charged battery is
connected to a completely flat one.
The connections to the drill rig's batteries must under no circumstances be broken
during operation as this could lead to faults arising in the generator.

For this reason, proceed as follows:

25
Maintenance instructions
1. General

1. Check that the auxiliary starting batteries (1) have the same voltage as the batter-
ies on the chassis.

1250 0064 41

Figure: Starting assistance

2 Drill rig batteries

2. First connect the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery to the positive terminal
of the chassis battery (2).

3. Then connect the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery (1) to earth on the
chassis (not to the chassis battery's negative terminal).

4. Once the engine has started, first remove the starter cable between the chassis and
the negative terminal on the auxiliary battery (1).

5. Then remove the cable between the positive terminals of the batteries.

Steel cables

Scrapping guidelines for steel cables


Steel cables should be scrapped when they display any of the following:

• Wire break at attachment


• Occurrence of strand breaks
• Concentrations of wire breaks
• Effects of heat
• Occurrence of wire breaks due to operating time.
• Reduced elasticity
• Decreased cable diameter

26
Maintenance instructions
1. General

• Certain number and type of wire breaks


• Corrosion
• Surface wear
• Deformation of the cable
• Permanent elongation of the cable

Wire break at cable attachment


Broken wires at cable ends indicate that they have been heavily loaded and can be
caused by faulty end attachments.

Shorten the cable and reattach it. However, the remaining cable length must be suffi-
cient.

Occurrence of strand breaks


If there are strand breaks, the cable must be scrapped

Concentrations of wire breaks


If there are concentrations of cable breaks, the cable must be scrapped.

If such concentrations occur within a length less than 60 cm or on an individual


strand, the cable must be scrapped.

If this is the case, the cable must be scrapped even if the number of wire breaks is less
than the maximum specified in the table.

Effects of heat
Cables exposed to extreme heat must be scrapped. The effects of heat can be estab-
lished through annealing colour.

Occurrence of wire breaks due to operating time.


Wire breaks occur first after a certain operating time depending on operating condi-
tions and subsequently occur more frequently.

If this is the case, the number of wire breaks in relation to the operating time should
be determined and documented.

This can then be used to estimate the future increase in wire breaks and the foreseea-
ble time point for scrapping.

Reduced elasticity
Under certain conditions, the cable loses its elasticity.

27
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Reduced elasticity is difficult to detect. If in doubt, consult a specialist.

If the cable has lost elasticity, the following characteristics usually appear:

• Decrease in cable diameter


• Elongation of the cable
• No gap between individual wires and between the strands. This is caused by its
components being pressed together.
• Fine, brown dust inside the strands.
• Even if there are no visible wire breaks, the cable is noticeably stiffer.
• The cable's diameter decreases more quickly than during normal wear of the indi-
vidual cable wires.

Reduced elasticity can lead to sudden cable breaks during heavy loads. The cable
should be scrapped.

Decrease in cable diameter


Decrease in cable diameter through material fatigue in the cable can have the follow-
ing causes:

• Inner surface wear and surface wear nicks


• Inner surface wear through friction between the strands and wires in the cable
• Fatigue of plastic core
• Break in steel core
• Break in inner layer in multi-strand cable

If the cable's diameter decreases more than 10% in relation to the nominal diameter
of the cable, it must be scrapped.

It should then be scrapped even if no wire breaks have been detected.

Certain number and type of wire breaks


The cable drums are designed in such a way that the cables do not have an unlimited
service life. Wire breaks can therefore occur during operation.

On 6 and 8-strand cables, wire breaks are primarily superficial.

The cables should be scrapped if the number of wire breaks specified in the table
have been detected

28

In cables with several layers of strands, only the outer, visible layer is considered.

In cables with steel cores, the core is regarded as an inner strand and is not included.

2
= In the event of a wire break, two ends can be visible.

Corrosion
Corrosion is especially problematic in marine environments and in areas where the
air is polluted by industrial emissions.

Corrosion can reduce operational strength through rust spots and static tensile
strength through a reduction in the cross section of the metallic cable.

Severe corrosion can reduce elasticity.

Outer corrosion: Outer corrosion can be easily detected through visual examina-
tion.

Inner corrosion: Inner corrosion is more difficult to detect. Inner corrosion is char-
acterised by the following:

• Absence of gap between the strands in the outer layer of the cable, often in combi-
nation with wire breaks in the strands.
• The cable diameter varies.

The parts of the cable that are bent over discs usually have a decreased diameter. At
any sign of corrosion, the cable should be checked by an authorised person. If inner
corrosion is detected, the cable must be scrapped.

Surface wear
Inner surface wear is caused by friction between the wires and the strands.

29
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Outer surface wear is caused by friction between the cable drums (rolls) and the cable
under pressure (acceleration and braking). Outer surface wear is visible through the
formation of reflected images on the outer wires.

Surface wear is increased through faulty or no lubrication, thereby increasing the


effect of dirt and dust.

Surface wear reduces static tensile strength through reduction in the cable's metallic
cross section and dynamic strength through surface wear nicks.

If the cable's diameter decreases more than 7% in relation to the nominal diameter of
the cable, it must be scrapped.

It should then be scrapped even if no wire breaks have been detected.

Deformation of the cable


Deformations are characterised by visible deviations from the cable's normal form
that lead to uneven voltage distribution in the cable.

The following are the primary types of deformations:

• Wire displacement
• Strand displacement
• Waviness
• Cracking
• Kinks
• Flattening
• Local cable diameter decrease
• Local cable diameter increase
• Basket formation

Wire displacement
Individual wires or wire groups stick out like hairpins on the side facing away from
the drum. Wire displacement is caused by spasmodic loads.

Cables with wire displacement must be scrapped.

Figure: Example of wire displacement

30
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Strand displacement
Strand displacement, which often occurs in conjunction with basket formation, is
when the steel core pushes out between the strands.

Cables with strand displacement must be scrapped.

Waviness
Waviness is a deformation that gives the cable's longitudinal axis a helical curve.

Even though wave formation does not necessarily cause weakening of the cable, such
a deformation can cause a pulsing movement.

After a long time of operation, this can increase surface wear and wire breaks.

In the event of waviness, the cable should be scrapped if

d 1 > 4d/3

d = Cable's nominal diameter

d 1 = Diameter of the circle that would be formed if the cable were not deformed.
Check over a length not exceeding 25d.

Figure: Waviness

Cracks
Cracks are deformations through outer, violent influences.

Cables with cracks must be scrapped.

Figure: Cracks

31
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Kinks
A kink is a deformation caused by the cable forming an eye that is contracted with
out the cable being able to rotate around its own axle.

Strand pitch is altered, which leads a great deal of surface wear and, in severe cases,
very low static strength.

Cables with kinks must be scrapped.

Figure: Kinks

Flattening
Flattening is deformation caused by mechanical damage.

Cables with severe flattening must be scrapped.

Figure: Flattening

Local cable diameter decrease


Local decrease in cable diameter is often connected to core break.

The area near the end attachments must be inspected especially carefully as it can be
difficult to detect cable diameter decrease at these spots.

Cables with severe cable diameter decrease must be scrapped.

Figure: Local cable diameter decrease

Local cable diameter increase


This means repeated thickening of the cable over a long stretch. At the thicker spots,
the core pushes out of the cable and causes unevenness of the outer strands.

32
Maintenance instructions
1. General

Cables with severe cable diameter increase must be scrapped.

Figure: Local cable diameter increase

Basket formation
Basket formation occurs on cables with steel reinforcement or steel core when the
outer strand layer becomes longer than the inner strand layer.

Basket formation can also be caused by shock loads on slack cables.

Cables with basket formation must be scrapped.

Figure: Basket formation

Maintenance instructions
1. General

• Fuses, electric connections, compressor earth, electromagnets, switches and pres-


sure switches
• V-belt and compressor
• Expansion valve and temperature control valve
• Coolant hoses

Poor cooling
Check the following points:

• Fresh-air fan and V-belt tension


• That the air does not evade the evaporator in the unit
• That the evaporator and condenser are not clogged by rubbish and the filter in the
air intake is not dirty
• That the expansion valve capillary tube is firmly against the evaporator outlet pipe
• That the thermostat does not cut out too early

Uneven cooling
Check the following points:

• That connections to switches, magnetic coupling or pressure switch are not loose
• That the expansion valve is not clogged
• That the system is filled and the thermostat is not defective

Abnormal noise
Check the following points:

• That the V-belt to the compressor is taut and that compressor retaining bolts are
tight
• That the system is filled sufficiently and not overfull
• That the expansion valve is in working order
• That the airflow across the evaporator is sufficient
• That the condenser is clean and the airflow is sufficient

Abnormal system noise is often connected to incorrectly assembled components. If


the compressor is noisy at a certain speed, for instance, and the noise disappears
when the speed increases or decreases, there is probably nothing wrong with the
compressor itself.

Each individual vehicle has so-called critical frequencies where vibration of different
types can generate noise. The speed at which these frequencies arise can differ from
vehicle to vehicle. It is often possible to eliminate such vibration by increasing or

36
Maintenance instructions
1. General

reducing the belt tension. If the belt tension is to high, it will cause excessive wear on
compressor bearings, belts and belt pulleys. You should therefore avoid tensioning
the belt too much.

There is no point in changing the compressor due to noise when the belt "jumps".
Adjusting the belt tension or changing to another belt length is better. Changing the
length of the delivery hose to the compressor can also reduce noise.

The difference between the pressure on the suction side and the pressure side also
affects the level of noise. A compressor with low suction makes more noise than a
compressor with high suction. Likewise, a compressor with high high-pressure
makes more noise because it puts more load on bearings, etc.

Note
Rotation speed can be set without drilling. The setting must be made when the diesel
engine is at maximum rpm.

The hydraulic oil should be at operating temperature, normally 40°C (104°F).

To measure rotation speed, count the number of revolutions the drill string completes
per minute (make a mark on the drill rod). Alternatively, use an electronic instrument.

Correct rotation speed should be set according to the type of drill bit and the proper-
ties of the rock.

Observe the following guidelines:

Table: Basic setting for ordinary button drill bits


Size of drill bit (mm) 76 89 102 115
Size of drill bit (inches) 3 3 1/2 4 4 1/2
Rotation speed (rpm) 120 110 90 70

• Type of drill bit

54
Maintenance instructions
3. Drill system

- X drill bits (cross-drill bits) require a higher speed than button drill bits (10-20
rpm higher)

• Rock properties
- Soft types of rock normally require a higher speed, harder rock requires a lower
rotation speed.

• Jerky rotation
- If rotation speed is jerky during drilling (not rotating at even speed), this could
indicate that rotation speed is too low.
- In certain types of rock, ballistic drill bits can cause jerky rotation.

• Drill bit wear


- Diametric wear can be reduced if rotation speed is lowered

• Drilling rate
- High rotation speed can give a higher drilling rate.
- Ballistic button drill bits normally give a higher drilling rate
- X drill bits give a lower drilling rate.

Setting rotation speed


• Loosen the knob (1b, see illustration: Control panel for pressure)
• Turn adjusting screw (1) clockwise to increase rotation speed.
• Turn adjusting screw (1) anticlockwise to reduce rotation speed.
• Tighten the lock nut (1b).

Adjustment of feed speed and rotation speed for


threading and unthreading
The feed and rotation speed for the rod adding function may need to be adjusted
occasionally, depending on variations in friction with the feed beam and gripper
arms.

The friction can vary due to the degree of wear and adjustment of the slides, as well
as whether or not these are lubricated. There is also a difference between threading
and unthreading with or without a drill steel due to the difference in weight. The set-
ting must be adjusted to the higher load, for example: threading a drill steel in the
drill-steel support and unthreading a drill steel in the drill-steel support.

5. Tighten the lock nut on the adjustment valve.

RPC-F system
RPCF (Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed) is used to regulate the drill feed pressure
in order to maintain the rotation pressure at a sufficient level to keep the joins tight.
This is done by the RPCF valve detecting the rotation pressure while drilling. When
the rotation pressure exceeds the preset value for the RPCF valve, the feed pressure
will be lowered to minimum the low drill feed pressure. As the feed pressure drops,
so will the rotation pressure. This means that the feed pressure shown on the pressure
gauge while drilling in many cases will not be the same as the high feed pressure set-
ting but a lower pressure. For a more detailed description, refer to the rock drill's
“How to use” instructions.

Adjusting
The RPCF valve is only to be adjusted while drilling with two drill rods in the drill
string and after the hydraulic oil has reached normal operating temperature 40ºC
(104ºF). In order to be able to make a good setting, the rock should be reasonably
homogenous so that a stable rotation pressure is obtained.

Anti-jamming protection
The drill rig is fitted with two types of anti jamming protection.

• Air flow switch


• Rotation pressure switch

Both variants reverse the feed direction if they are activated by insufficient flushing
air flow or excessive drill rotation pressure respectively in order to avoid jamming.

60
Maintenance instructions
3. Drill system

Air flow monitor B142


The airflow guard is connected after the flushing air valves and monitors the pressure
drop through the restriction in the flushing air line. An impaired or non-existent air
flow caused by a clogged drill bit, for example, means that the pressure drop will be
reduced or cease completely. The rock drill will then reverse automatically until the
pressure drop/flow is normal again.

Adjusting air flow switch


The airflow guard can be adjusted only while drilling and only with full flushing air
flow active.

1. Remove the flow switch cover.

2. Drill almost down to the greatest depth that will be drilled in the current position.
Make sure full flushing air is active. Switch 21, position a.

3. Turn the flow switch adjuster screw (1) anticlockwise until the rock drill starts to
reverse. The higher the number on the adjuster screw scale, the more sensitive the
flow switch will be. The factory setting is 30 mbar.

4. Screw back the adjuster screw until the rock drill starts downwards again.

5. Drill another hole to check that the anti-jamming protection does not activate
inadvertently due to the setting being made too sensitive. If this is the case, screw
back the adjuster screw slightly more.

6. Fit the flow switch cover.

When changing dimension of the drill bit or drill steel, or if the drill depth is changed,
it may be necessary to readjust the flow switch in order to maintain adequate anti-
jamming protection.

Rotation pressure switch B134


The rotation pressure switch B134 is connected to valve QDS-K, which monitors the
drill rotation pressure while drilling. A considerable increase in rotation pressure
indicates that the drill is about to jam. If the rotation pressure rises above the set pres-

62

sure on QDS-K, the rotation pressure switch will receive a signal and the rock drill
will reverse automatically. Reverse feed will continue until the pressure has again
dropped below the set value.

• Make sure that no personnel are within
the rock drill's area of movement

The anti-jamming protection activation pressure is adjusted on the QDS-K valve. The
activation pressure can be difficult to adjust while drilling as it is often difficult to
force the rotation pressure sufficiently high. Instead, it is possible to carry out a simu-
lation.

1. Turn the knob for adjusting the rotation speed (1) anticlockwise until you feel the
spring pressure release. The rotation speed will now be 0 rpm.

2. Run the rock drill down until the drill steel sleeve is in the upper drill steel sup-
port. Close the drill steel support to secure the sleeve.

3. Activate drill rotation.

4. Activate drill feed.

64
Maintenance instructions
3. Drill system

5. Slowly screw the adjuster knob clockwise while observing the pressure gauge for
the rotation pressure. When the pressure exceeds the rotation pressure switch set-
ting, the feed direction will reverse. This can be seen from the pressure on the feed
pressure gauge dropping to 0 and the rock drill trying to pull away from the drill
steel support.

6. Screw the adjuster knob anticlockwise to reduce the rotation pressure and allow
the feed to move down again.

7. If the pressure switch setting needs to be changed, it can be done by turning its
adjusting screw clockwise to increase the activation pressure or anticlockwise to
reduce it.

8. Repeat steps 1 - 6 to check the new setting.

9. Restore the rotation speed to its normal setting.

Bleeding (ECG/ECL)

Figure: Lubricating oil tank with ECG pump.


If the lubricating oil tank has run dry, the system may need to be bled in order to pre-
vent air pockets forming in the lines and the pump.

In the ECL and ECG system, this is done by pumping lubricating oil through the
lines. To reduce the time required to bleed the system, the pause duration can be
reduced in order to increase frequency. Bleeding can be done without starting the die-
sel engine as the pump is controlled electronically.

1. Detach the ECL hose from the rock drill and the ECG hose from the coupling on
the flushing air hose.

2. Remove the plug from the bleeder hose coming from the ECL pressure gauge in
the cab. The hose sticks out of the opening in the pressure gauge panel.

3. Open the bleeder plug on the pump.

4. Set the Drilling/Tramming/Preheating knob (S130) to drilling.

Environmental considerations when handling


oils

ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTIONS

• Think of the environment!


• Leaking hydraulic connections and
lubrication grease are environmentally
hazardous
• Changing oils, replacing hydraulic hoses
and different types of filter can be
environmentally hazardous.
• Always collect oil residue, oil spillage,
waste with oil content, and lubrication
grease residue and spillage. Treat in
accordance with local regulations.
• Use biodegradable hydraulic fluids and
lubrication oils for Atlas Copco products
wherever possible. Contact your local
Atlas Copco office for further information.

General
The hydraulic system is sensitive to impurities. The environment in which a drill rig
normally operates is usually unsuitable for repairing hydraulic components. Work on
the hydraulic system on-site should therefore be limited to absolute necessities, i.e.
only changing components. When changing valves, the unit in question must be well
strapped and supported. Components should then be repaired in a suitable environ-
ment.

Observe the following points to avoid breakdowns and interruptions in operation due
to fouled hydraulic oil:

• Keep the drill rig clean. Hose it down at regular intervals, preferably with an
added grease solvent.
• Before opening any connection, clean the area round it.
• Use clean tools and work with clean hands.

68
Maintenance instructions
4. Hydraulic systems

• Always plug hydraulic connections immediately after they have been detached.
• Use clean protective plugs.
• Hydraulic components like hoses, valves, motors, etc. must always be stored with
suitable protective plugs fitted in place.
• Spare parts for hydraulic components must always be kept in sealed plastic bags.
• Change filter cartridges as soon as the filters indicate clogging.

Repairing hydraulic components


Repairing and/or reconditioning hydraulic components should be carried out by
expert personnel and in a suitable place. The following alternatives are possible:

• Suitable premises for hydraulic repairs to be arranged at the workplace. Repairs to


be carried out by your own specially trained personnel, the manufacturer's techni-
cians or Atlas Copco personnel.
• Components to be sent to the manufacturer's local agent for repair.
• Component repairs are carried out by Atlas Copco. Repair instructions are availa-
ble for the most important and most complicated hydraulic components.

Replacement of hydraulic hoses


The high system pressure, with safety valves set at 280 bar, together with vibrations
and other mechanical strain, puts high demands on hydraulic hoses. All the hydraulic
hoses have crimped couplings and should therefore be purchased ready-made from
Atlas Copco. Hose dimensions and qualities are specified in the spare parts lists for
the relevant drill rig.

Hydraulic workshops
Workshops used for the repair of hydraulic components must:

• Be separate from activities which generate dust and particles, such as welding,
grinding, the transportation of vehicles, etc.
• Have their own suitable washing equipment which is required for repairing the
components.
• Have the necessary tools, both standard and special, that are only used in the
hydraulic workshop.
• Have a ventilation system that does not admit dust into the premises.
• Have well-trained mechanics.

69

Filter

Return oil filter

General
The return oil filter cleans the oil before it is returned to the tank.

There is a return oil filter on the drill rig. A return oil filter consists of a tube contain-
ing three filter inserts. The tubes are mounted inside the hydraulic oil reservoir.

The filter inserts must be replaced in accordance with the maintenance schedule, but
if the pressure gauge for the return filter indicates “filter clogged” (the red zone on
the scale), all the return oil filters must be replaced immediately.

Note
The filter cartridges cannot be cleaned but must be replaced when they are clogged.

Changing the return oil filter


The filter inserts can be dismantled by removing the lid and lifting them straight up.

main cartridge can be cleaned and reused up to three times if service is performed
correctly. The safety cartridge, however, must never be cleaned and reused and
must be changed at least once for every four times the main cartridge is serviced.

Maintenance instructions
8. Diesel engine

The intervals specified in the maintenance schedule for changing and cleaning the
main air filter cartridge are given only as guidelines. The actual interval can vary
between different workplaces and applications.

Working in extremely dusty conditions may require shorter change intervals.

In order to indicate when a main cartridge requires changing or cleaning, there is a


service indicator mounted on each air filter housing. Both indicators are connected to
a warning lamp on the engine control panel in the cab.

The filter cartridges, therefore, do not require service until the indicators warn other-
wise. The cartridges should, however, be checked for damage to the filter material at
the specified intervals.

If correct cleaning of the main cartridge cannot be ensured, a new cartridge should be
installed on each service occasion.

6. Fit a new safety cartridge (if it is to be changed) and a new or cleaned main car-
tridge.

7. Refit the cover and fasten the clamps.

Cleaning the main cartridge


The filter cartridges are easily damaged. Incorrect cleaning can damage the filter
material and sealing surfaces, impairing life expectancy or causing engine and com-
pressor breakdown.

• The filters can be cleaned using compressed air at low pressure followed by vacu-
uming. Note that the air pressure must not exceed 2 bar when cleaning with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging the filter material.
• Always start blowing clean from the inside to avoid forcing dust deeper into the
filter material.

82
Maintenance instructions
8. Diesel engine

• Direct the air jet along the folds in the filter. Avoid blowing directly a the filter as
this can result in damage and dust being forced into the filter material.
• Finish off by vacuuming the filters inside and out.

Note
Never run the engine without the air filters in place.
Never clean filters by tapping them or tapping them against the ground. This can
damage the sealing surfaces and deform the filter cartridge.
Never clean filters in water or cleaning agent.
Never use high pressure compressed air to clean filter cartridges. Max air pressure 2
bar!
Never use a damaged filter cartridge!

1250 0026 25

Figure: Air filter switch.


To ensure filter clogging is detected, the function of the filter switches (6) must be
checked regularly. This is done by gradually blocking the air intakes, one at a time.
The filter switches should trip and the filter warning light come on. If the lamp does
not light, start by checking the cable connections. If there are no problems with the
connections, the switch is faulty and must be changed.

Fuel system

Filter
There are two fuel filter for the diesel engine. The engine's diesel filter and a prefilter.
The prefilter has a loose insert that must be cleaned once a month. Change the filter
insert if it is damaged.

The diesel engine fine filter must be changed and not cleaned:
