2.1. General ID: 13875
These operation and maintenance instructions give a brief description of the primary maintenance
procedures to be followed for the hydraulic rock drill.
Sandvik Service is always willing to give advice and help with any maintenance-related problems.
The qualified maintenance staff at Sandvik dealerships and original Sandvik spare parts ensure
reliable operation of the rock drill.
2.2. Taking a new rock drill to use ID: 13876
2.2.1. Preparations ID: 13877
The new rock drill is supplied with unpressurised accumulators

and plugged hose connections.
1. Follow the instructions when pressurising the accumulators. See ‘Repair instructions for pressure
accumulators’.
2. With a new rock drill, a hydraulic check and system flushing must be performed according to the
instructions before the rock drill is installed.
2.2.2. Fastening ID: 13878
The rock drill is fastened to the feed carriage with four pairs of bolts. To avoid damage, it is very
important to use the correct tightening sequence.Tightening sequence:
B A C
ID: 15681
Fastening to the carriage
First, tighten lightly so that the mating surfaces meet (no clearance between the carriage and rock
drill).
1. Pre-tighten bolt set A to 300 Nm (30 kpm).
2. Pre-tighten bolt sets B and C to 300 Nm (30 kpm).
3. Tighten bolt set A to 600 Nm (60 kpm).
4. Tighten bolt sets B and C to 600 Nm (60 kpm).
When replacing the bolts, always loosen all the bolts and then re-tighten using the correct
tightening sequence.

ID: 474 1 en 2009-12-11
2.2.3. Test run ID: 13879
Test run the rock drill and make sure that it operates properly before beginning production drilling.
During the test run, monitor:
- the operation of the shank lubrication
- the pressures and the temperature
- the flushing operation
- any possible oil leaks
Avoid using full percussion pressure. When the drill bit is not
in contact with the rock, full percussion pressure strains the
accumulator membranes and causes unnecessary wear of the
flushing housing and cavitation in the percussion mechanism.
Such ‘idle drilling’ is especially dangerous when drilling upward
and cleaning holes by pumping.

2.4. Lubrication circulation ID: 13881
The percussion mechanism and the hydraulic motor of the rock drill are lubricated using the hydraulic
oil that flows through them.
The rotation mechanism and shank are lubricated via oil mist lubrication. The lubrication line from the
central lubrication device is connected to the fitting (1) in the rock drill spacer (Fig. 2). From there,
the oil mist passes to the front end of the rock drill, where it lubricates the stabiliser pins, rotation
mechanism, chuck, coupling, and flushing housing bearing.
In the underground model (Fig. 3), the lubricating system’s air flow from the rear section of the piston
is led out through the passage (3).
In the surface model (Fig. 4), the drain oil from the rear section of the piston is led to the front through
the passage (2).
Do not let the rear cover make contact with water when the
lubrication blow is not on.
Oil mist that has travelled through the rock drill’s lubrication circulation system is removed from the
rock drill through the flushing housing fitting (5) (Fig. 2). This used lubrication oil can be conveyed to
a container with a hose.
In no event is oil mist to be conveyed into the hydraulic system
return line.

1. The shank lubrication oil consumption should be adjusted to min. 400 grams an hour per drill
or more depending on the hole diameter and other local conditions. Check the function of
the shank lubrication by looking at the sight glass of the oiler and check with hand that the oil is
coming to the shank lubrication nipple.
2. If the oil level in the oiler does not lower during drilling, the reason may be that:
• the regulating valve (7) is blocked up.
• the compressor’s oil separation does not function. The compressor oil flows with air in to the
oiler.
• the oil is too thick for the temperature.
• In each of the above-mentioned cases the fault should be remedied without delay.
3. Drain regularly the water that has collected in the oiler. The draining interval depends on the local
conditions.
4. Only the oils mentioned in the oil recommendation are allowed.
5. Refill the oiler regularly.
6. If compressed air is taken from the mine’s air supply network or the drill rig’s compressor does
not have a water separator, the compressed-air line should be fitted with such a separator.

Except for the flushing housings, the construction of air and water-flushed rock drills is identical.
Water is the most common reason for percussion piston seal failures. Water can enter the rock drill
from outside the flushing housing if the rock drill is in vertical position and shank blow is not on.
Water can also flow with lubricating system air if water is not drained regularly from the lubrication
device.
Water in the front end of the rock drill can cause cavitation pitting in the body components near the
piston seal and wiper ring and in the piston.
To prevent water from entering the gear housing, the flushing
housing seals must be replaced immediately if water is leaking
from the escape holes (4). This is why leaving the rock drill’s
front end pointing upward during pauses in drilling is also
prohibited. If this is not possible, blow the flushing housing dry
with air before the break in drilling.

ID: 474 1 en 2009-12-11
2.6. Inspection and maintenance of front end with rock drill in carriage ID: 17842
In order to replace the shank, the rock drill has to be tilted as

much as possible in a horizontal position. This way you
eliminate that the rotation bushing and coupling won’t drop.
If the lubrication clogges up, (no air coming from the shank
lubrication) turn off the motor, slowly let the pressurized air
escape via the locking bolt before loosening the bolts of the
flushing housing. Otherwise the flushing housing can burst out
due to the pressure and cause damages.
You can also detach the flushing housing without having to remove the rock drill from the carriage by
opening the bolts (1) and the nuts. The coupling and the shank will also detach, as well as the rotation
bushing and the chuck opening the lock bolt (2).Always check these items when replacing the
shank.

Figure: 8. Dismantle of flushing housing
Always check the condition of the rotation bushing and the

chuck when replacing the shank.
Use the shank when removing the lock washers (1). Remove the cover (3) and the connector flange
(2) before removing the seal housing.

2.7. Checking the tightness of the bolts and tightening torques ID: 13944
Checking the tightness of the bolts, especially the side bolts, is probably the most important
maintenance procedure for a rock drill. Loose side bolts cause rapid wear of the rock drill frame’s
mating surfaces, shortening the service life of the rock drill.
The bolts cannot be tightened to the correct tightening torque if the threads are not clean. Therefore,
clean and check the threads if necessary, lubricating them with grease.
Checking the bolts during regular maintenance:
- 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 opened
and re-tightened according to the tightening instructions.
Use only a calibrated, high-quality torque wrench.

2.8. Periodic maintenance ID: 13952
2.8.1. General ID: 13953
The idea of regular preventive 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.
In defining the correct maintenance interval, the regular maintenance table should be consulted first
and then the maintenance interval should be increased until a suitable maintenance interval for local
conditions is determined.
In addition to this, the rock drill can undergo maintenance whenever the operator reports a malfunction
that could lead to a failure or production downtime.
2.8.2. Maintenance tools and -parts ID: 13954
Ensure that the operator keeps the tools and parts required for maintenance with the drilling
rig.
The rock drill toolkit includes a torque wrench and sockets. A socket and extension are required for
tightening the rock drill/carriage’s front and rear end mounting bolts.
ID: 16418
Figure: 19. Maintenance tools
The drilling rig should also carry a spare flushing housing seals, shank, and coupling for maintenance.
2.8.3. Daily, after work shift ID: 13955
1. Check the tightness of the flushing housing bolts.

2. Check the seals for leaks by monitoring the inspection holes during drilling (Fig. 10).
3. Check for possible oil leaks.
4. Check the hoses and hose connections.
5. Check the fastening of the rock drill to the carriage. If necessary, improve fastening by first
loosening the mounting bolt pairs and then re-tighten them using the correct tightening sequence
as indicated in the instructions (Section 2). Check also the tightness of the side bolts when
tightening the fastening of the rock drill to the carriage.

ID: 474 1 en 2009-12-11
2.8.4. Every week ID: 13956
1. Check the hour-meter reading.

2. Check the accumulator filling valves, the cover plugs, and the tightness of the fastening bolts.
3. Check the accumulator pressures (refer to the Repair Instructions).
4. Check the tightness of the hydraulic motor and rear cover bolts.
5. Check the tightness of the intermediate gear pin bolts.
6. Check the condition of the shank, chuck, flushing housing front cover bearing, coupling, and
rotation bushing (refer to the repair instructions for wear limits).
7. Check the tightness of the side bolts. If they are loose, the centremost mounting bolt pairs
of the rock drill must be loosened before re-tightening the side bolts. After tightening the
side bolts, tighten the centremost mounting bolt pairs.
2.8.5. Basic maintenance ID: 13957
Check the percussion hour meter reading. We recommend that the rock drill be disassembled every
500 percussion hours (refer to the repair instructions, ‘Disassembly’ section). Fill in the maintenance
card.
2.8.6. After rock drill service ID: 13958
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.
This is why the side bolts and mounting bolts must be re-tightened after drilling about 100–
200 metres following maintenance.
2.8.7. Service card ID: 13959
The card is machine-specific. 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. When a rock drill enters use again after maintenance, the date for the next
servicing is marked on the card.
The maintenance card reveals 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 enables us to view the entire maintenance history of a rock drill.
- The card simplifies the decision to scrap an old machine.
2.8.8. Service follow-up ID: 13960
To monitor the maintenance of a rock drill, the attached type of maintenance card can be used.

3.1. General ID: 13977
These instructions are intended for persons servicing and repairing Sandvik hydraulic rock drills.
Only personnel with specific operation and service training are
permitted to perform operation, maintenance and adjustment
procedures. Read the operating, maintenance, and safety
instructions before using or servicing the rig.
Always use a hoist when tilting the rock drill in the assembly
stand.

ID: 474 1 en 2009-12-11
3.2. Repair instructions ID: 13978
Follow the instructions in the regular maintenance table. With regular preventive maintenance,
optimal utilisation is achieved. Replace any worn part promptly to avoid more serious damage.
Before performing installation, check carefully 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
unauthorised, 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. Faultless
operation of a rock drill stems largely from appropriate use of the repair facilities. Make sure that the
repair site is clean.

3.4. Seals ID: 13982
The seals are the most sensitive and important components of a rock drill. When disassembling a
rock dill, always replace all seals and O-rings.
Removing the seals
Be careful not to scratch the seal grooves and

components inside the rock drill.
ID: 16736
Figure: 6. Removing the seal
Do not scratch the seal grooves.
Installing the percussion piston seals
When installing the seal, press it lightly and equal-

ly from both sides so that the seal settles in the
correct position. In particular, the seal lip (a) is
easily damaged by, for example, careless han-
dling during installation of seals. Fig. 7.
ID: 16766
Figure: 7. Installation method for the seal
Seals are easier to install if warmed in oil (50–60°

C). Use only fingers when installing the seals. Be
careful, and do not use the fingernails.

Apply oil to the seal groove. Bend the seal as

shown in the figure.
ID: 16768
Figure: 9. Bend the seal as shown in the figure
Storing the seals
Keep the seals in their original packages and away from direct sunlight.
Ensure that the seals stay clean at the installation site.
ID: 16769
Figure: 10. Centring the spacer and rear bearing piston seals, and installation directions
Centring the piston seals: So that the seals settle properly, apply oil on the piston and push it through
the seals while rotating it slowly in the direction indicated in the figure. Check that the seal lips are
intact.
Pay attention to the correct position of the seal lip.
If the seals do not last for the standard maintenance interval, usually the reason is one of the following:
- Dirty oil and the filter is either clogged or of the wrong type (non-OEM)
- Incorrect oil grade
- Incorrect installation of the seals
- Seals damaged at the time of installation
- Water in oil
- Poor condition of the sliding surfaces
- Piston is pitted or scratched

ID: 474 1 en 2009-12-11
3.5. Disassembly ID: 17888
The Rock drill has to be disassembled and the components to be checked after every 500 drilling
hours.
Disassembly and assembly of the rock drill requires from the performer professional skill and practical
knowledge of these machines. The working room should be dry, dustless and clean.
There should also be a wash-basin and compressed air available for the cleaning of the drill
components.
Before the disassembly the drill should be washed on the outside for example with a high-pressure
water spray. In addition to this we recommend that the drill is washed on the outside also with a brush
and suitable solvent before it is taken to the actual servicing place. A split barrel suits this purpose
well.

PRESSURE ACCUMULATOR FOR HYDRAULIC ROCK DRILL
1. PRESSURE ACCUMULATORS
Only personnel with specific service training are permitted to

service the pressure accumulators. The following instructions
must be followed at all times. Negligence can cause a risk of
accident.
In all hydraulic systems, cleanliness is the single most important factor in ensuring trouble-free
operation. For this reason, the pressure accumulators should be filled and serviced in a clean and
dust-free environment.
The condition of the pressure accumulator must be checked whenever the accumulator is being
disassembled and the rock drill is being serviced. The rock drill’s special toolkit contains all tools
required for servicing and checking the pressure accumulators.
Experience has shown that the first (originally fitted) pressure accumulator diaphragm will not achieve
the normal service life, especially if the time between pressurisation and commissioning is long. This
is why the pressure accumulators supplied as spare parts are unpressurized and this is also indicated
on the accumulator.
The bottom and cover of a pressure accumulator must remain as a pair. All accumulator covers and
bottoms supplied by Sandvik are paired. Other parts, such as diaphragms and filling valves, are
supplied separately.
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY! Before removing the pressure
accumulator from the rock drill, release the pressure by opening
the filling valve. When the pressure gauge is in use, the
discharge opening must always be directed to an unrestricted
space to prevent a risk to those in the immediate vicinity as a
result of pressure discharge.
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION! Repairing a pressure accumulator by
welding or in any other manner is strictly prohibited. A repaired
pressure accumulator can explode and cause injuries or even
death. Replace the faulty pressure accumulator with a new one.

1.1. Checking the charge gas pressure of the pressure accumulators
The charge gas pressure of a pressure accumulator must be checked once a week. The check is
performed by using a pressure gauge included in the rock drill’s special toolkit. The pressure gauge
range is 0 to 100 bar for the high-pressure accumulators, and 0 to 10 bar for the low-pressure
accumulators. Use a gauge meant for gas pressure measurement. The pressure gauge used must
not be a liquid damped gauge.

1. Remove the rubber protection cap (1).

2. Remove the metal cap (2).
3. Screw the pressure gauge to the filling valve.
4. Open the locking nut (3).
5. Wait until the gauge pointer stops moving. Check the reading.
6. Close the locking nut (3).
7. Disconnect the gauge from the filling valve and replace the metal cap (2) and the rubber protection
cap (1).

1.2. Removing the pressure accumulators
Before removing the pressure accumulators from the rock drill, release the accumulators’ pressure
by opening the filling valves. No one is allowed in front of the valve when it is being opened.
DANGER
Never remove a pressurized accumulator.
1. Remove the accumulator mounting bolts.

2. Remove the accumulators.
3. Remove the O-rings and the seals.
4. Insert protective plugs into the openings on the rock drill body.

ID: 372 3 en 2011-06-08
1.3. Disassembling the pressure accumulator
DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
An exploding pressure accumulator will cause death or severe
injury.
Before disassembling a pressure accumulator, ensure that the
accumulator is depressurised.
Never heat an accumulator ower 100°C.
Disassembling the pressure accumulator

1. Fasten the bracket (1) to a vice and place the accumulator on the bracket, with the bottom pointing
upward.
2. The cover and bottom of a pressure accumulator are marked with the same number, and they
must be retained as a pair.
3. Ensure that the filling valve is open!
4. Open the accumulator bottom with the tool (2).
1.4. Checking the pressure accumulator
1. Visually check the inside and outside of the accumulator for wear, damage, and corrosion.
2. Carefully clean and check the threading.
If the threads are corroded, the pressure accumulator must be

scrapped.
If necessary, use liquid penetrant testing to check the

accumulator for damage. Damaged pressure accumulators
must be scrapped.

ID: 372 3 en 2011-06-08
1.5. Assembly
1. Fit a new or inspected diaphragm to the cover. Make sure that the diaphragm is in the groove and
fitted so that the correct side is downwards.
2. Lubricate the surface of the diaphragm (a) and the bottom surface of the accumulator (b) with
vaseline or lanolin.

ID: 372 3 en 2011-06-08
3. Replace the valve. Use a threadlocker.

Check that the number on the cover and the bottom is the same.
1 2
• The high pressure accumulators are marked with uneven numbers and the low pressure
accumulators with even numbers.
4. Lubricate the threads of the bottom with vaseline or lanolin.
5. Screw the bottom all the way in and tighten it with the special tool to a torque of 150 Nm.
• When the pressure accumulator diaphragm is changed, the O-rings (b) should also be changed.
Always check the wear limit marks of the thread after tightening (150 Nm) the bottom. After the
tightening, if the mark(I) on the bottom remains between the dot (•) and the mark (R) on the cover,
the thread is in order.
If the mark (I) on the bottom goes beyond the mark (R), the threads of the accumulator cover and
bottom are too worn. Replace the accumulator and discard the old one.

ID: 372 3 en 2011-06-08
A worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator must be

discarded immediately.
If the accumulator can not hold the gas after changing the diaphragm and valve, check the threading,
bottom and body of the accumulator carefully with for example, liquid penetrant testing.
1.6. Filling
The only allowable filling gas is nitrogen (N2).
Do not fill an unchecked or a too worn accumulator.
• You can refill the accumulator while mounted to the rock drill.

opening the locking nut (3) let the pressure flow out until the gauge shows3 - 5 bar.
16. Tighten the locking nut (3) to 20 Nm.
17. Refit the cap (4).
1.6.3. Filling pressures of accumulators
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.

ID: 372 3 en 2011-06-08
High pressure accumulator (HP)
The main function of high pressure accumulator is to store pressurized 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 must be relative to the set maximum
percussion pressure according to the following graph.
