caused by unapproved modification (including disassembly/repair)
disassembly repair) and other losses.
Any
ny modification requires our approval.

14

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

-

Before operation, check the geographical features, characteristics of rocks, gas pipes,
power lines, and sewage pipes and take safety measures.

If abnormal sound or vibration is detected, stop the operation immediately. Also,

watch the conditions of the equipment including drifter carefully.

Be sure to perform regular inspection to ensure safe operation.

Keep the place where inspection or maintenance is performed clean and dry.

Prohibit substances including drugs and alcohol, which could affect the manipulation
of the machine. Never operate the machine if your condition is not satisfactory.

1-4 PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

-

Inspect or maintain the machine according to the instructions disclosed in the

maintenance manual.
Especially, pay careful attention to safety instructions, and perform
maintenance carefully. Most accidents that occur during maintenance

are caused by neglect of the instructions.

Before performing inspection or maintenance of drifter, park the machine on a flat
and safe place. Then safely lie down the drifter on the flat place and put all
operating levers and switches to SAFE positions to completely stop the engine. If

the drifter needs to be disassembled, close all stop valves on the pipes.
Use proper tools for tasks and components to be inspected. Using improper tools
can cause injury and damage to the components.
Take great care when disassembling the drifter. The accumulator of the drifter is
charged with high pressure nitrogen gas. Thus, disassembling the drifter without
discharging the gas can cause serious injury or death. Do not disassemble the

drifter without permission.

Do not disassemble the hydraulic system without permission since the internal
pressure may remain high when the system is stopped. When the hydraulic system
is to be maintained, follow the instructions to release the pressure out of the
system, close the lock device, and perform maintenance with no force applied to
the system.

WARNING !
Hydraulic system is always in pressurized state. When removing hydraulic components
and hoses, first stop the engine and check for internal pressure.
15

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

-

If there is any tiny hole or gap on the hydraulic system,

pressurized oil might burst out of the system at high
speed and harm you at close distance. Thin stream of
oil may not be visible. Wear protective goggles and check
for leakage with cardboard or wood sheeting.

Completely wipe out any oil spilled on the floor, or you might fall down. Falling down

near the machine can cause serious injury.

-

Unapproved modification and adding new devices to the machine are very
dangerous and might lead to a serious accident. Use of an unapproved component
part can cause accidents and damage to the product. Use only Everdigm genuine
parts.

2-2.3.1 Rotation Mechanism
The rotational power from the motor (8) is reduced and transmitted to the drive gear 1
(2) via the drive gear 2 (7) and further transmitted to the shank rod (1) via the splined
bush (6).

2-2.3.2 Dust Discharging Air

Discharging air pressure is transferred from the air sleeve (26) to the shank rod (1).

2-2.3.3 Percussion Mechanism

The moving parts include cylinder (5), piston (4), and valve (13).
Two accumulators with different gas pressures are installed to the front and rear of the
cylinder (piston) to absorb variation of oil pressure and ensure high efficiency.

2-2.3.4 Accumulator
The accumulator is divided into two chambers by the diaphragm (made of rubber) as in

Diaphragm

Nitrogen

gas sealed

the left figure. One chamber is filled with

nitrogen gas, and the other allows the hydraulic
oil to flow into or out of the screen.
The high-pressure accumulator stores the oil
from the
pump when the piston travels upward, and

Hydraulic
oil

discharges the stored oil and refill the oil from

the pump when the hammer operates. The accumulator absorbs pressure variations due
to piston and valve movements, and prevents the hose line from moving or heating up.
The low-pressure accumulator also absorbs pressure variations to protect return hose.
Since accumulator is a pressure vessel, pressures should be released before disassembling.

WARNING !
Accumulator is a pressure vessel. Always release the pressure from the accumulator
before disassembling the accumulator. Otherwise, it may cause serious injury or death.

S2,A2

S1,A1
Fig. 1

Referring to Fig. 1, the high pressure on the front side (S2) of the hammer (K) forces the
hammer to retreat. When the larger diameter part of the hammer reaches the groove (A),
the pressure is applied to the control pin (E) on one side (R) of the valve (V). As the valve
switches to the other side (L), high pressure is applied to the rear side (S1) of the hammer.
The relationship between the pressure receiving areas A1 and A2 is (A1) > (A2).
When high pressure is applied to the rear side of the hammer, the operating force on the
rear side becomes stronger than that on the front sided to move the hammer forward.

pressure is applied to the valve on L side with area relationship of A3>A4, the valve is
forced to move to R side.

the valve to the L side and recover original state shown in Fig. 1.

2-4 ADJUST PERCUSSION FREQUENCY AND ENERGY

This drifter allows the user to adjust the stroke length of the reciprocating hammer to
adapt the percussion frequency and force to the rock quality.

2-4.1 BASIC PRINCIPLE

As described above, switching of the hammer is carried out with the part of larger
diameter passing through the pilot hole (A).
Percussion frequency and force can be changed by changing the state of the pilot holes (1,
2).

2-5 Supply of Lubricant

2-5.1 Lubrication of rotation mechanism
Rotation mechanism (including liner, gear, slide washer, and shank rod) is lubricated as
the spray of hydraulic oil for rock drill is supplied by a small amount of compressed air.
The hydraulic oil is forced to the lubricator located on the top right side of the pressure
oil tank, one drop per 2 to 3 seconds.
.

Cover for check

Adjust oil flow rate with a screw

Adjust the level of hydraulic oil by turning the adjuster of lubricator with a screw driver.

for any abnormality.

WARNING !
The degree of wear and damage varies depending on the site. Perform inspection at
proper time within the specified period according to the condition of the working site.

3-3 INSPECTION OF ACCUMULATOR

Accumulator plays an important role in accumulating and discharging pressurized oil and
absorb variation of pressure in high and low pressure circuits. Keep the accumulator in
normal condition. Damage to the high pressure side of the accumulator can result in
lowered drilling speed, abnormal vibration and heating of the hose for striking.
If any of these happens, immediately stop the drifter and inspect the accumulator.
Charge nitrogen gas, if it is insufficient.

WARNING !
Replace damaged diaphragm (Contact us for service).

29

MAINTENANCE
The high-pressure
pressure accumulator retains striking force, and the low-pressure
pressure accumulator
suppresses fluctuations in low-pressure line.
A. At room temperature, the gas pressure for accumulator is generally as follows:
a. For high-pressure
pressure accumulator,
accumulator 45Kg/
B

For low-pressure
pressure accumulator,
accumulator 5Kg/

B. If vibration in hose for high-pressure line becomes abnormally strong, the striking
force of the high--pressure accumulator is weakened and inspection is required.
required
C. Abnormally strong vibration in hose for low-pressure
pressure line means that the lowpressure accumulator does not work properly and inspection is required.
required
D. For replacement of diaphragm for accumulator and gas refill, contact your
distributor.
E.

Use only nitrogen (N2) gas for accumulator.
