3.1. Drilling joystick

The drilling joystick controls all the functions needed in drilling. All functions are
hydraulically controlled by the control pressure from the joystick. The control pressure
value changes with the joystick movements so that the pressure increases as the
inclination angle of the stick increases.
The electric switches on the stick are used for steering the control pressure in a desired
way, or affect the locking of the stick by releasing the locking electromagnets.

6. OPERATION OF SYSTEM
6.1. Hydraulic oil preheating
Oil preheating is used before starting to drill in cold operating environment. It raises the
oil temperature high enough to avoid problems caused by cold oil. Drilling is not allowed
until oil viscosity is 1000 cSt or lower (ref. oil recommensation).
When the switch (S6) in the cabin is turned on, the coil a of the directional valve (206)
becomes activated. The oil produced by the rotation pump (50) flows now through the
pressure relief valve (209) into the tank.
LS signal is directed through the shuttle valve (218) to the regulator of the pump (50).
6.2. Free circulation

Free circulation means a situation where the variable displacement pumps (1) and (50)
have minimum output and maintain a 25 bar stand--by pressure. None of the functions
using their output is in operation.
The output oil from the pump (80) flows through the dust collector motor (82) or the dust
collector selector valve (81) into the tank.
The output oil from the side pump (90) flows through the cooler motor (120) into the tank.
6.3. Drilling
Drilling is started with low feed speed, feed pressure and percussion pressure. Drilling
joy--stick is used for controlling the speed of collaring (starting of drilling).
1. Rotation. Rotation is started by turning the joy--stick to the left. Rotation speed
exceeds as the joy--stick is turned further. Fast rotation is started by pushing the
button 1 (S21) on the joy--stick.
2. Percussion. Percussion minimum power starts simultaneously with rotation when
the joy--stick is turned to the left. At the same time flushing starts from percussion
pressure switch if the switch S18 is not in the middle position. Rattling with max.
percussion pressure starts when the button 3 (S22) on the joy--stick is pushed.
3. Feed. Feed starts when the joy--stick is pushed forwards. Feed speed grows as
the joy--stick is pushed further. Locking is released by pushing the button 4 (S20).
Fast feed starts when the button 1 (S21) on the joy--stick is pushed.

6.4. Rotation
6.4.1. Normal rotation
When the drilling joy--stick is turned to the left, the pilot control valve for rotation (14) at
the joy--stick opens and directs pressure to port C of the directional valve for rotation (53).
Control pressure that regulates the rock drill rotation speed is adjusted with the valve (59).
From the pump (50), oil flows through the compensator (52) and the rotation directional
valve (53) to the rotation motor (54). From the rotation motor oils flows back to the valve
(53) and on to the receiver. Control pressure for the anti--jamming valve is taken with a
T--adapter in the pressure line before the rotation motor.
Rotation circuit maximum pressure is adjusted with the pressure relief valve of the pump
(50) regulator. The pressure relief valve (55) and the valve (56) act as a safety system in
the rotation circuit; their opening pressure is higher than that of the pressure relief valve
of the pump regulator. In the load sensing line of the rotation directional valve (53) A--port
there is a LS--pressure relief valve (60), which is used to control the pressure when closing
the thread. Maximum pressure for thread opening is adjusted with the LS--pressure relief
valve (61) in port B.
LS signal to the rotation pump (50) comes from valve (53) through a series of shuttle
valves.
6.4.2. Fast rotation
When the button 1 (S21) on the joy--stick is pushed down (and is kept pushed down) the
valve (58) spool is activated. When the joy--stick is turned to the left, the pilot control valve
(14) opens and pilot control pressure is adjusted to its maximum value, which is the set
value of the valve (43). Maximum rotation speed is reached.

6.5. Feed
6.5.1. Normal feed
When the drilling joy--stick is pushed forwards, the feed pilot control valve (16) at the
joy--stick opens and directs pressure to the port C of the feed directional valve (23).
Control pressure, which determines the maximum feed speed, is regulated with the
pressure relief valve (39).
From the pump (1) oil flows through the compensator (22) and feed directional valve (23)
to the feed motor (28). From there the oil flows trough the overcenter valve (31) back to
the valve (23) and further on to the receiver. From the feed pressure line oil is taken via
shuttle valve (44) to the feed motor brake releasing port. Brake will open before the feed
overcenter valve (31) allows feed downwards movement to start.
LS signal from the feed directional valve (23) goes through the shuttle valves (27) and (26)
to the valve (20). Feed max. pressure is adjusted with the valve (20) which affects also
the pressure compensator (22). From the valve (20) oil flows to the feed motor (28) return
line and through the valve (23) on to the receiver.
The pressure relief valves (24) and (25) work as a safety system in the feed circuit.
LS signal to the feed pump (1) is received from the valve (23) through the shuttle valves
(27), (26), (10) and (18).

6.5.2. Fast feed forwards

The valve (41) spool is activated when the push button 1(S21) at the joy--stick is pushed
down (and kept there). When the joy--stick is pushed forwards, the feed pilot control valve
(16) opens.
When the joy--stick is pushed further forwards, the valve (16) supplies pilot control
pressure that is proportional to the angle of the joy--stick. The pressure affects port C of
the feed valve (23). Maximum pilot control pressure equals to the set value of the valve
(43).
Pilot control pressure changes the position of the valve (32) and feed pressure regulation
with the valve (20) stops. Pressure relief valve (29) determines the feed maximum
pressure.
Fast rotation and fast feed forwards can be used simultaneously.

(33) opens.
When the joy--stick is pulled further back, the valve (33) supplies pilot control pressure that
is proportional to the angle of the joy--stick. The pressure affects port D of the feed valve
(23). Maximum pilot control pressure equals to the set value of the valve (43).
Pressure relief valve (30) determines the feed maximum pressure.

6.6. Collaring
Percussion on / off is selected with the button 3 (S19) at the drilling joy--stick.
6.6.1. Minimum - power percussion
When the drilling joy--stick is turned to the left, the rotation pilot control valve (14) at the
joystick opens. When the control pressure supplied by the valve (14) reaches 9 bar, the
percussion selector valve (4) opens the control line of percussion main valve (3) to the
receiver; valve (3) opens and minimum --power percussion starts.
Minimum --power percussion is determined so that signal is taken from the percussion
main flow channel through the restrictor (9) and the flow control plug (5) to the percussion
minimum pressure / follow--up valve (303). Percussion pressure will assume the set value
of the valve.
When the drilling joystick is pushed a little forwards, the feed pilot control valve (16) at the
joystick opens and feed starts. Feed speed (and pressure) is low thus percussion stays
at minimum setting. Percussion pressure stays at minimum value (= the setting of valve
(303)) when feed pressure is lower than the reference pressure (= the setting of valve
307)). Feed pressure depends of feed speed, valve (20) is closed.
From pump (1) oil flows through the pressure filter (112) to the percussion main valve (3)
and further to the rock drill percussion mechanism (13) and then to the receiver.
LS signal is directed from the percussion main flow channel to the pump (1) regulator
through the shuttle valves (10) and (18).

6.6.2. Feed-- percussion follow-- up

When the drilling joy--stick is pushed more forwards feed speed and pressure start to
increase. Percussion pressure remains at the misnaming value until feed pressure rises
higher than the reference pressure (=the setting value of the valve (307)). After that
percussion switches to the follow--up mode which means that percussion pressure is set
according to the feed pressure. Percussion pressure is changing two times the change of
feed pressure (valve (303) follow--up ratio is 2:1). Percussion pressure can rise up to the
maximum value which is set by the valve (7).
The adjusting of feed pressure regulating valve (20) has also an influence to the
percussion pressure.
From pump (1) oil flows through pressure filter (112) and percussion main valve (3) to the
rock drill percussion mechanism (13) and further to the tank.
LS--signal is directed to the pump (1) from the percussion main flow channel through the
orifice (9) and further through the shuttle valves (10) and (18).

6.6.3. Rattling
When the joy--stick is turned to the right, the joy--stick pilot control valve (17) opens. When
the control pressure supplied by the valve (17) rises to 9 bar, the percussion selector valve
(4) opens the percussion main valve (3) control line to the receiver. When the button 3
(S22) is depressed, the spool of valve (15) is activated and max. percussion starts.
Pressure relief valve (7) determines the percussion pressure.

6.7. Torque sensing and anti--jamming automatics

When the drill steel meets a fissure, rotation becomes more laborious, and rotation
pressure rises. First the increased rotation pressure starts to open the torque sensing
valve (316) which means that part of the oil flow mentioned to the feed motor (28) is going
through valve (316) to the tank and thereby feed pressure starts to decrease. At the same
time increased rotation pressure starts also to move the spool of anti--jamming valve (34)
which means that feed pilot pressure starts to decrease and thereby oil flow to the feed
circuit is reduced. These two actions reduces feed pressure and because of
feed--percussion follow--up also percussion pressure decreases.
If the rotation pressure continues increasing despite of the reducing of drilling power, the
spool of anti--jamming valve (34) moves finally to the reverse movement position (see the
circuit diagram) and feed reverse movement starts with rapid speed. Feed pressure
regulation with the valve (20) stops and LS--pressure relief valve (30) determines the feed
backwards maximum pressure.
When the rotation pressure reduces lower than the setting of valves (316) and (34), the
torque sensing valve (316) spool closes and the position of the anti--jamming valve spool
changes to feed forwards position. Feed forwards starts with slow feed speed.

6.8. Threading
Thread opening and closing is controlled with the electric lever (S29). Rotation is
controlled with the valve (93) and feed with the valve (92). The movements can be
adjusted independently. Feed is adjusted to match the thread pitch. Feed movement is
adjusted with the pressure regulator (94), rotation is adjusted with one--way restrictor
(96).
6.8.1. Thread opening
When the threading control lever (S29) is pulled backwards, the coil b of the threading
selector valve (92) and the coil b of the rotation valve (93) become activated.
Control pressure comes from the pressure reducing valve (94) to the port D of the feed
directional valve (23) and through the one way restrictor (96) to port D of the rotation
directional valve (53).
Rotation speed is determined by the set value of the pressure reducing valve (43) and
rotation starting delay is adjusted by double one--way restrictor (96A).
Max. rotation pressure is determined by the LS pressure relief valve (61).
Feed motor speed (= feed movement speed) is determined by the set value of the
pressure regulator (94).
The maximum feed pressure is determined by the setting of the LS pressure relief valve
(30), as the actual feed pressure regulating valve (20) is closed.

7.8. Adjusting reference pressure valve (307)
307
The reference pressure is setting the feed pressure value where percussion switches
from percussion minimum pressure to feed--percussion follow up--mode. So if the feed
pressure is lower than the reference pressure, percussion stays at minimum pressure
(=the setting of valve (303)) and when feed pressure is higher than the reference
pressure, percussion pressure is controlled according to feed pressure (= follow
up--mode). The setting value of the reference pressure varies typically between 45 and 65
bars but the final adjustment of the valve should be done during drilling according to the
used drilling parameters (maximum feed and percussion pressure values). Before the
adjustment of the reference pressure valve (307) the used maximum values of feed and
percussion pressures should be selected.

2. Push the drilling joy--stick to run the rock drill against the front stopper.
3. Open the locking nut of the reference pressure valve (307) and fully open
(counterclockwise) the adjusting screw.
4. Turn the drilling joy--stick to the drilling position so that both holding magnets lock
up. Now the feed and percussion pressures should be at the maximum value (=the
setting values of valves (20) and (7)).
5. Start to increase the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) by turning the
adjusting screw clockwise. Increase the setting until the percussion pressure
starts to decrease (see the percussion pressure gauge (11) in cabin).
6. When this setting value of the reference pressure is found tighten the locking nut of
the valve (307).
7. Check the setting by adjusting feed pressure lower by feed pressure regulating
valve (20). Percussion pressure should decrease immediately when feed
pressure is decreased.

than for the LSA port because more power is needed when the rod string is pulled
upwards. The adjustment is done as follows:
1. Remove the cap from the LSB pressure relief valve (30) of the feed valve.
3. Pull the drilling joy--stick backwards to start reverse feed and run the rock drill
against the rear stopper. Hold the joy--stick in the back position while an assistant

7.13. Adjusting maximum feed speed for drilling (valve 39)
39
The maximum feed speed for drilling means the highest speed at which the bit moves
across a cavity encountered in drilling. This speed must be higher than the speed at which
the drill rod penetrates the rock with normal drilling settings but, however, as low as
possible to prevent the drill bit from hitting the bottom of the cavity with high speed.
Typically the maximum feed speed during drilling is set to 3,0 – 4,0 m/min. The set value of
the valve (39) is 13--15 bar.

Adjust the valve as follows:

1. Connect a pressure gauge to the measuring point M10 of the drilling control block.
2. Open the locking nut of the valve (39).
3. Remove drill rod from the rock drill.
5. Use the joy--stick to run the rock drill to the front stopper and hold the joy--stick in
the forward position.
6. Turn the adjusting screw of the valve (39) so that the pressure is 15 bar (see the

7.14. Adjusting the overcenter valve of feed forwards (valve 31)
31
The right setting of the feed overcenter valve (31) is very important for feed function as well
for the collaring. The setting must be higher than the opening pressure of the feed brake
(integrated to the feed motor) and on the other hand it should be as low as possible to
avoid problems during collaring (too high feed/percussion pressure).
Adjust the overcenter valve (31) as follows:

2. Turn the setting screw first fully closed (clockwise) and then open 5 1/4 rounds
(counterclockwise).
3. Remove drill rod from the rock drill.
4. Start the diesel engine and turn the feed beam to vertical position.
5. Pull the drilling joy--stick to run the rock drill to the rear stopper.
6. Push the drilling joy--stick a little forwards to start the feed forwards with very slow
feed speed and check from the feed pressure gauge (21) that feed downwards
pressure is about 25--30 bar (= correct value).
7. If the feed pressure is not on the right level, re--adjust the feed overcenter valve
(31).

The torque sensing valve (316) is decreasing feed forwards pressure when rotation
pressure during drilling is increasing from the typical value. Anti--jamming valve is doing
the reverse movement if the reducing of the drilling power has not ‘stabilized’ the rotation
torque. After feed reverse movement the collaring is done smoothly.
1. Drive the drifter against the front stopper, add a coupling sleeve to the drifter shank
or use a MF--rod and close the PITO--centralizer.
2. Select following functions from the control panel: anti--jamming on (S 24 front
position), forced flushing on (S 23 rear position) and flushing off (S 18 middle
position). Press also once the drilling joy--stick button 3 (S 19) to deactivate
percussion.

3. First fully open (counterclockwise) the setting of anti--jamming valve (34) and then
close the setting 8 rounds.
4. First fully close (counterclockwise) the setting of torque sensing valve (316) and
then open the setting (clockwise) 1,5 rounds. NOTE! The setting screw of valve
(316) has a left hand thread.
5. Fully open (counterclockwise) the setting of rotation speed valve (59) in cabin.
6. Put the feed forwards on and adjust the feed pressure by valve (20) to a typical
maximum value, e.g. 110 bar (the value which is used during full power drilling).
7. Put the rotation and feed on by turning the drilling joy--stick to 11 o’clock position.
Note, that there is no rotation because valve (59) is fully open.
8. Start to increase slowly the setting of valve (59) by turning it clockwise. When the
rotation pressure exceeds 50--55 bar (see the rotation pressure gauge (51) in
cabin) the torque sensing valve (316) should start to decrease the feed pressure.
If the feed pressure is still at maximum (e.g. 110 bar) decrease the setting of torque
sensing valve by turning it clockwise until the feed pressure starts to decrease.
When the setting point is found, lock the setting and check the function by
increasing and decreasing the rotation pressure by valve (59) around 50 bars.
When rotation pressure rises higher than 50 bars feed pressure should decrease
and when rotation pressure is lower than 50 bars feed pressure should stay at
maximum.
9. Reduce the setting of anti--jamming valve (34) by turning the adjusting screw 3
rounds counterclockwise. Check the same way as on item 8. that when rotation
pressure exceeds 65--70 bar anti--jamming valve is activating the reverse
movement to feed (drifter moves backwards and feed pressure rises to 180 bar).
Note that torque sensing valve (316) has already reduced the feed pressure from
maximum value before anti--jamming valve (34) activates the reverse movement.
10. If the typical rotation pressure is higher (e.g. 50--60 bar) the setting values of torque
sensing valve (316) and anti--jamming valve (34) should be adjusted higher so that
the settings are not ‘disturbing’ the normal drilling.

The valve is located in the cabin, on the operator’s right side. Turning the adjusting knob
counterclockwise lowers and turning it clockwise increases the rotation speed of the drill
bit. The correct rotation speed depends on the rock type and the diameter of the drill bit.
Tamrock recommends the following rotation speeds for drill bits of different diameters:

A
B
A Thread opening
B Thread closing
Feed speed for threading is adjusted by valve (94) and rotation delay by double one--way
restrictor (96). Adjust first rotation restrictors (96) so that setting for thread opening
(restrictor A located on the front, next to valve (94)) is first screwed fully in and then opened
1,5 rounds and setting for thread opening (restrictor B, located on the rear, opposite side of
the restrictor A) is fully open. Next adjust the feed speed by valve (94) to correspond to the
pitch of thread.
A screw driver, for example, can be used for checking the adjustments (see picture). When
threading, the screw driver should stay in position. If it moves upwards when thread is
opening, feed is too fast . If the screw driver moves downwards, feed is too slow.
Check the adjustment by threading a rod into the sleeve.

3. If the gauge shows the value of 200--210 bar, the pressure relief valve (84) is
operating correctly. If the pressure gauge shows much higher or lower pressure
during starting, clean or replace the pressure relief valve (84).
5. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point (M).

Several functions are controlled by percussion pressure switch S64 (12) (eg. percussion
hour meter, flushing automatics and shank lubrication). Shank lubrication pump is
controlled by pressure switch S77 (66) during the rotation when percussion is not on (e.g.
during the threading).
1. Connect a pressure gauge to measuring point M9 of the drilling control block.

2. Adjust the pressure switches (12) and (66) roughly to 15 bar according to the
pressure switch scale.
3. Fully open the rotation speed adjusting valve (59) screwing counter clock wise
(valve located in cabin).
4. Start the diesel engine to idling speed.
5. Turn the drilling joy--stick to the left . Rotation is activated but percussion remains
off because rotation pilot pressure is limited by the valve (59) to 5 bar, measuring
point M9 at drilling control block.
6. Adjust by valve (59) the rotation pilot pressure approximately to 8 bar.
7. Adjust the percussion pressure switch (12) activating point to 8 bar. If necessary
use the multimeter.

8. Check the percussion pressure switch operation with ascending pressure by

adjusting rotation pilot pressure with valve (59), percussion pressure switch must
activate approximately in 8 bar (e.g. flushing goes on).
9. Leave the rotation pilot pressure to 8 bar, check the pressure from the pressure
gauge installed to measuring point M9 at drilling control block.
10. Hold the drilling joy--stick turned to the left and switch percussion off by pressing
drilling joy--stick push button S19 (3), valve (242) will activate.
11. Adjust the rotation circuit pressure switch (66) to activate at 8 bar. Use the
multimeter to recognise the activating point or by observing shank lubrication
pump operation.
12. Check the pressure switch (66) operation with ascending pressure by adjusting
rotation pilot pressure with valve (59), rotation pressure switch (66) must activate
approximately in 8 bar.
13. Turn the drilling joy--stick to the middle position and press again the drilling
joy--stick push button S19 (3), percussion function will return (valve (242) is
deactivated)
14. Stop the diesel engine and remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point
M9.

8. HYDRAULIC OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM
The system comprises pressure and return flow filtration. Pressure filtration is only in the
circuit of the pump (1), but return flow filtration is provided for all pumps.
The pressure filter (112) has a cartridge type replaceable filter element (25 mm abs).
If the pressure difference over the filter rises higher than 2.5 bar, an indicator light in the
instrument panel goes on. It indicates that the filter element should be replaced.
The filter body is also equipped with a bypass valve that open if the pressure difference
over the filter rises higher than 3,5 bar.
When the rig is started in cold weather, the filter service indicator may
illuminate several minutes before going off. The reason for this is that
stiff, cold oil raises the pressure difference over the filter higher than the
CAUTION
set value of the pressure switch in the filter body. The light should go off
as the oil warms up.
The return oil filter (113) filters the return oils of all pumps. It is of a tank--top type, which
means that it is located inside the hydraulic oil tank.
It is equipped with a 12 mm (abs) replaceable filter element. The pressure switch (118) for
the return oil filter is located on the collector tube and it indicates when the filter element
should be replaced. If the pressure difference over the filter rises above 2 bar, the service
indicator in the instrument panel goes on. The filter body is also provided with a bypass
valve that opens if the pressure difference over the filter exceeds 2.4 bar.

9. OIL COOLING SYSTEM
The oil returning from the various devices is collected to the hot side of the collector tube
(115) on the side of the oil tank (except ’leakage oil’ that runs directly into the tank through
adapters (119) in the side of the tank).
The collector tube comprises:
-- Two thermostats (117) with the purpose to direct oil either directly from the hot side
to the cold side and then into tank or through the oil cooler. The closing value of the
thermostats is 52°C.
-- Two pressure relief valves integrated to the thermostat with the purpose to protect
the cooler from too high pressures. When open, the pressure relief valves let the oil
flow from the hot side of the collector tube to the cold side.
-- Pressure switch (118) for return oil filter service indicator.
-- A pressure gauge (121) that indicates the return oil pressure in the collector tube.
-- A non--return valve through which supplementary oil is pumped into the hydraulic
oil tank with a hand pump.
From the collector tube, oil flows either through the open thermostat to the tank or, when
the thermostat is closed, through the oil cooler (114).
Oil returns from the oil cooler to the cold side of the collector tube and flow then through the
return oil filter (113) into the tank.
The oil cooler (114) is used for cooling down both hydraulic and compressor oil. The
rotation speed of the cooling fan motor can be adjusted with an one--way restrictor valve
(116) mounted to the side of the motor. Adjustments may be needed in cold climates, for
instance, to get the oil up to normal working temperature as quickly as possible.
The compressor circuit oil should especially be warmed up to normal temperature as
quickly as possible. This is important because the oil circulation in the compressor relies
on pressure difference. The colder the oil is the more difficult oil circulation becomes. This
may result in compressor overheating which triggers the thermal protector.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
10.1. General
If the drilling system is not working, check the following points before starting any
measurements:
1. Warning lights
-- Hydraulic oil level
-- Hydraulic oil temperature
-- Pressure differences over return and pressure filters
-- Hydraulic oil level
-- Diesel engine speed
2. External leakages on hoses, at adaptors, connections, and other hydraulic
components.
3. Mechanical functions
-- Emergency stop switches
-- Tightness of sliding pieces on feed
-- Feed chain
-- Etc.
4. Charge of battery
5. External cable damage
6. Electric connections
7. Pressure gauge readings
10.2. Troubleshooting for variable displacement pumps

10.2.1. Pumps not rotating
1. Check the coupling connection of the pump (1) shaft and the diesel engine
flywheel. Replace damaged coupling.
2. Check the spline connection between the pumps (1) and (50) by detaching the
pumps from each other at the flanges. If the sleeve or shaft splines are worn,
replace the sleeve and, if necessary, the pump shafts, or replace the pumps.
3. Check the spline connection between the pumps (50) and (80) by detaching the
pumps from each other at the flanges. If the sleeve or shaft splines are worn,
replace the sleeve and, if necessary, the pump shafts, or replace the pumps.

10.2.2. Pump rotates normally but stand--by pressure differs from normal 25 bar
Faults in regulator

control block for measuring pump (1) pressure, or to the pressure measuring point
M of the rotation directional valve (53) for measuring pump (50) pressure.
3. If the pressure reading at measuring point M1 or M differs from the normal 25 bar
value, the fault is probably in the adjustments of the pump flow regulator A or its
sticking. Adjust the pump’s (1) or (50) stand--by pressure according to instructions.
4. If the remedies above (3) did not correct the fault, clean the flow regulator A or
replace the whole regulator unit, Readjustment of the regulator is done according
to adjusting instructions.
Faults of pump (1), not related to regulator

If the pump’s regulator is working, but the pressure deviates from 25 bar:
1. Check that the main pressure relief valve (138) of the tramming valve (135) is set to
310 bar. Readjust the valve, if necessary.
Faults of pump (50), not related to regulator

If the pump’s regulator is working, but the pressure deviates from the 25 bar setting, it is
likely that a valve is open to the tank because of too slack setting of spring, or because a
valve solenoid is live.
1. Check that the pressure relief valve (55) is set to 290 bar. If necessary, readjust the
valve according to adjusting instructions.

10.3. Troubleshooting for percussion

Percussion pump (1) output can be tested by tramming the rig because the drive motors
get the required volume flow from the same pump (1). Pressure can be measured at point
M1 at drilling control block.
10.3.1. Percussion not working at all
1. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading but the percussion
mechanism (13) does not work when the drilling joy--stick is in the drilling position, it
is likely that the rock drill is damaged.
-- Stop the diesel engine.
-- Repair or replace the rock drill (see rock drill maintenance instructions).
2. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows no reading when the drilling joy--stick
is in the drilling position, the percussion on/off valve (242) might be activated
(press once the push button 3 (S19) in drilling joy--stick to deactivate valve (242))
or the problem might be on pilot pressure side or the percussion main valve (3) or
the percussion selector valve (4) is sticking.
-- Check the pilot pressure from drilling control block M9. When drilling joy--stick is
turned fully to the left, the pilot pressure at M9 must be at least 11--12 bar to activate
valve (4). If the pilot pressure is lower, adjust it higher by turning valve (59)
clockwise
-- If the pilot pressure at M9 is close to 0 bar when drilling joy--stick is turned to the
left check following items:
-- Activate the fast feed button 1 (S21) in drilling joy--stick. If the pilot pressure at M9
now increases to 25--30 bar, the rotation speed adjusting valve (59) is stuck to open
position. Clean or replace the valve (59).
-- The ø 1,0 mm orifice at drilling joy--stick port 4 is blocked. Clean it.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve (valve (3) and/or (4)).
3. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading close to 25 bar when the
drilling joy--stick is in the drilling position, it is likely that the restrictor (9) in the LS
line is blocked (restrictor (9) is located in drilling control block). Check the restrictor
as follows:
-- Remove the restrictor (9) and check it. Clean the restrictor hole.
-- Carefully install the restrictor (9) back. Remember the correct tightening
torque (9 Nm).

10.3.2. Percussion does not stop at all

1. The valve (3) or (4) is sticking. Check the valves as follows:
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M9 at drilling control block.
-- Start the diesel .
-- If there is no pressure at the measuring point M9, it is likely that either valve (3) or
valve (4) is sticking. Check the valves as follows:
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve.
-- If there is pressure at the measuring point M9, it is likely that the drilling joy--stick
valve is sticking (leaking). Check its operation as follows:
-- Replace the joy--stick valve or a part of it.
2. Check that the spring of the valve (3) is fully tightened.
10.3.3. Percussion pressure too high during collaring (percussion minimum
power)
1. If the percussion pressure during collaring is too high (>80 bar), check the
adjustment of the percussion minimum pressure valve (303) according to the
instructions in this manual. If the valve (303) is not working, it must be cleaned and
repaired, or replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not correct despite the above remedies, the reason may also
be that the LS restrictor (9) has loosened. The tightness of the restrictor (9) in the
drilling control block is checked as follows:
-- Remove the cap from the restrictor.
-- Check that the restrictor (9) is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
-- Replace the cap and tighten it.
3. Too high percussion pressure during collaring might be caused by wrong setting of
the feed overcenter valve (31) or reference pressure valve (307).
-- Check the setting of the feed overcenter valve by turning the feed beam to vertical
position, drive the drifter to rear position, but the drilling on and check that the feed
pressure at pressure gauge (21) is 25--30 bar.
-- If the feed pressure is higher than 25--30 bar, check the setting of feed overcenter
valve (31).
-- If the feed pressure is still higher than 25--30 bar, check the mechanical parts of
feed (drifter cradle wear pieces, hose reel, chain tightness etc.)
-- If the feed pressure is at right level (25--30 bar) but percussion pressure still at too
high level (> 80 bar) when drilling downwards without any rock resistance, check
the setting of reference pressure valve (307) according to the instructions in this
manual.
-- If the reference pressure can’t be set correctly, clean, repair or replace the valve
(307).

10.3.4. Percussion pressure too low during collaring (percussion minimum

power)
1. If the percussion pressure during collaring is too low (<80 bar), check the
adjustment of the percussion minimum pressure valve (303) according to the
instructions in this manual. If the valve (303) is not working, it must be cleaned and
repaired, or replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not correct despite the above remedies, the reason may also
be that the LS restrictor (9) in the drilling control block is blocked. The restrictor (9)
is checked as follows:
-- Remove the restrictor (9) from the bottom of the bore.
-- Clean the restrictor hole, if necessary.
-- Install the restrictor (9) back and tighten it to correct torque (9 Nm).
10.3.5. Percussion pressure rises too high in feed-- percussion follow-- up

1. If the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) is not correct (the setting is too
low), check the adjustment of the valve (307) according to these instructions. If the
reference pressure valve (307) is not working, it must be cleaned and repaired, or
replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not corrected by the above remedies, the reason may also
be that the LS restrictor (9) has loosened. Check the tightness of the restrictor (9)
on the drilling control block as follows:
-- Check that the restrictor 9 is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
3. Too high percussion pressure may also result if the coil of the valve (15) is live. In
this situation, feed--percussion follow--up is not working at all and the valve (7)
determines percussion pressure (= max. percussion pressure). Carry on as
follows:
-- Switch feed--percussion follow--up on with the switch (S23) in the cabin and check
that the follow--up function works during drilling. If it is not working, the reason may
be that the valve (15) is sticking or the electric control circuit of the valve is not
working properly. In that case, follow these instructions:
-- Stop the diesel.
-- Check the electric control circuit of the valve (15).
-- Remove the valve (15) and clean and repair, or replace it.
4. Check the feed pressure in use. Drilling with overfeed will raise percussion
pressure higher than the normal level.

10.3.6. Percussion pressure remains too low in feed--percussion follow--up
1. If the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) is not correct (the setting is too
high), check the adjustment of the valve (307) according to these instructions. If the
reference pressure valve (307) is not working, it must be cleaned and repaired, or
replaced.
be that the LS restrictor (9) is blocked. Check the restrictor (9) on the drilling control
block as follows:
-- Clean the restrictor hole as necessary.
-- Install the restrictor (9) back into the bore and tighten it to correct torque (9 Nm).
3. Check the feed pressure in use. Drilling with underfeed will leave percussion
pressure lower than the normal level.
4. Check the setting of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to
these instructions. If the valve (7) is set for too low pressure level, it cuts percussion
pressure to the setting value although feed pressure still could raise percussion
pressure higher.
5. Check the maximum feed speed during drilling. Drive the drifter backwards, put the
drilling on and check that the ‘free’ feed speed is 3,0 – 4,0 m/min. If the speed is
much lower (1,0 – 1,5 m/min), do the following items:
-- Connect a pressure gauge to drilling control block measuring point M10.
-- Drive the drifter against front stopper, put the drilling on and check that the feed pilot
pressure at M10 is 15 bar.
-- If the pressure is lower than 15 bar, press the fast feed button (S21) in drilling
joy--stick. If the pressure now rises to 25--30 bar, the valve (39) is faulty. Clean or
replace it.
-- If the pressure is still lower than 15 bar when push button (S21) is activated, the
reason for low feed pilot pressure might be contamination at anti--jamming valve
(34) slowing piston orifice (70). Check, that orifice (70) is not blocked (see the
picture of the anti--jamming valve, chapter 4.).
-- If the feed pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve (39) check also the
ø 1,6 mm (port P) and ø 1,0 mm (port B) orifices at anti--jamming valve (34) base
plate.

10.3.7. Percussion max. pressure too high
1. If percussion max. pressure is too high, start troubleshooting by checking the

setting of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to these
instructions. If the valve is not working properly, clean and repair, or replace it.
2. If the above remedies did not correct the fault, the reason may be that the restrictor
(9) has loosened. Check the tightness of the restrictor (9) on the drilling control
block as follows:
-- Check that the restrictor (9) is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
10.3.8. Percussion max. pressure level too low
1. If the percussion max. pressure level is too low, start troubleshooting by checking
the adjustment of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to the
instructions in this manual. If the valve (7) is not working properly, clean and repair,
or replace it.
be that the LS restrictor (9) is blocked. Check the restrictor (9) on the drilling control
block as follows:
-- Clean the restrictor hole, if necessary.
-- Install the restrictor (9) back and tighten it to correct torque (9 Nm).
3. Check the tramming circuit max. pressure relief valve (131) according to ‘Carrier
hydraulics’ instructions. A leaking relief valve (131) might cause problems with
percussion max. pressure.
10.4. Troubleshooting for feed functions

Feed pump (1) output can be tested by tramming the rig because the drive motors get the
required volume flow from the same pump (1). Pressure can be measured at point (M1) in
drilling control block.
The operation of feed directional valve (23) can be tested by a hand lever mounted to the
valve.

10.4.1. Feed movement is not working at all
If the feed movement is not working at all, carry out the following remedies:
1. Check the setting of the pilot control circuit pressure regulator (43).
2. Check that the emergency stop valve (241) is active. If it is not, the feed safety wire
has triggered the drilling stop switch, which has deactivated the valve (241).
Release the emergency stop switch.
3. The pilot control pressure at the measuring point M10 in drilling control block is not
correct. Carry on as follows:
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M10.
-- Start the diesel engine.
-- Push the drilling joy--stick to the forward position.
-- If the pressure is lower than 15 bar, press the fast feed button 1 (S21) in drilling
joy--stick. If the pressure now rises to 25--30 bar, the valve (39) is faulty. Clean or
replace it.

-- Release the drilling joy--stick to the middle position.
-- Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M10.
4. The pressure at the measuring point M10 is correct, but feed movement still does
not work:
-- Check that the lever assembled to the mechanical activating module of the feed
directional valve (23) moves when the drilling joy--stick is moved, if the lever is not
moving, the spool is sticking. Clean or replace the spool as follows:
-- Remove the mechanical activating module of the valve (23). The spool
comes out with the module.
-- Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly, or replace the spool.
-- Install the spool with the module back into position. Do not use excessive
force or hammer the spool end.

-- Check that the correct feed pressure comes from the ports A and B of the feed
directional valve (23). The feed forwards pressure is adjusted with the feed
pressure regulating valve (20), fast feed forwards is adjusted with feed
LSA --pressure relief valve (29) and feed backwards with LSB --pressure relief valve
(30)
-- If pressures at ports A and B are correct, check that feed motor brake gets enough
pressure to release the brake: min 21 bar /max 200 bar.
-- Check that the rock drill carriage, feed chain, or some other component used for
transferring feed movement is not sticking.
-- Check that the feed motor is not too badly worn, indicated by excessive leakage of
oil.
5. If there is no pressure at the measuring point M10 it is possible that the feed control
valve (16) of the drilling joy--stick is faulty. In that case, stop the diesel and repair
the valve (16).
6. Check the shock pressure/suction valves (24) and (25) in feed main valve, they
might be leaking. If needed, clean, repair or replace it.
7. Check the function of torque sensing valve (316). Plug the hose going to port 1 of
valve (316). If now the feed starts to work, clean, repair or replace the valve (316).
10.4.2. Drilling feed pressure too low
1. Troubleshooting must be started by checking the operation of the feed pressure

regulating valve (20) as follows:
-- Run the rock drill against the front stopper.
-- Lock the drilling joy--stick to the drilling position to start percussion/feed forwards.
-- Check the feed pressure adjusting range by turning the adjustment of the valve
(20) from one extreme position to the other, whereby the feed pressure reading
should change between 20 and 150 bar. Read the pressure in the pressure gauge
(21).
If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) does not adjust the pressure between 20 and
150 bar, it is possible that the valve (20) or the feed motor is faulty. Check the condition of
the components as follows:
-- Plug the pressure hose to the feed motor.
-- Start the diesel engine and check if the valve (20) adjusts between 20 and 150 bar
as described above.
-- If the valve now adjusts the pressure between 20 and 150 bar, it is likely that the
feed motor is faulty. Repair or replace the motor.

2. If the above remedies do not correct the fault, check that the pilot control pressure
of the joy--stick is correct. It should be 15 bar.
-- Install a pressure gauge to the pressure measuring point M10.
-- Push the drilling joy--stick to the forward position.
-- If the pressure at measuring point M10 is lower than 15 bar, press the fast feed

-- Release the joy--stick to the middle position.
3. If there is no pressure at the measuring point M10 it is possible that the feed control
valve (16) of the drilling joy--stick is faulty. In that case, stop the diesel and repair
the valve (16).
4. Check the setting of anti--jamming valve (34). If the setting is too low, it will start
to decrease the feed pressure during normal drilling.
5. Check the setting of torque sensing valve (316). If the setting is too low, it will start
to decrease the feed pressure during normal drilling.
6. Check the shock pressure/suction valves (24) and (25) in feed main valve (23),
they might be leaking. If needed, clean, repair or replace it.
10.4.3. Drilling feed pressure too high
1. Check first that the feed pressure regulating valve (20) is working. If the valve (20)
is unable to adjust between 20 and 150 bar, it is likely that it is faulty. Repair it as
follows:
-- Clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. Check that the control line X of the tank line control valve (32) is not receiving
control pressure during drilling as this would change the position of the valve (32)
so that the pressure of the valve (20) is not going to the feed tank line but to the
pressure line, causing the feed pressure to rise.
3. Check that the tank pressure at the T1 port of the feed regulating valve (20) control
block is not unusually high during drilling (should be below 5 bar).

10.4.4. Fast feed not working

1. Check the setting of the pilot control circuit pressure regulator (43).
2. Check that emergency stop valve (241) is active. If it is not, the feed safety wire has
triggered the drilling stop switch, which has deactivated the valve (241). Release
the drilling stop switch.
3. The pilot control pressure at the drilling control block measuring point M10 is not
correct. Carry on as follows:
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Move the drilling joy--stick fully forwards and backwards while depressing the fast
feed button 1 (S21).
-- If the max. pressure at the measuring point M10 is not 30 bar, check the following:
-- Check that the drilling joy--stick gives out 30 bar pilot control pressure. If
not, replace or repair the valve.
-- If the max. pressure is only 15 bar check that the coil of the valve (41) is
activated while depressing the fast feed button 1 (S21). If not activated,
check wiring and electric connections. If activated, clean, repair or
replace the valve (41).
4. The pilot control pressure at the measuring point M10 is correct, but the feed
pressure gauge shows no reading. The most likely reason for this is that the spool
of the valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation as follows:
-- Remove the mechanical activating module of the valve (23). The spool comes out
with the module.
-- Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly.
-- Reinstall the spool.
5. Fast feed maximum pressure adjustments are incorrect.
-- Adjust the LSA valve (29) and the LSB valve (30).
10.4.5. Fast feed movement too slow
1. Start troubleshooting by checking the pilot control pressure of the feed control
spool (23). Check it as follows:
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Move the drilling joy--stick fully forwards and backwards while depressing the fast
feed button 1 (S21).

2. If the max. pressure reading is 30 bar, it is likely that the fault is caused by incorrect
adjustment of fast feed maximum speed or maximum pressure. Check the
adjustments as follows:
-- Run the rock drill against the rear stopper and hold the joy--stick in this position
while holding the fast feed button 1 (S21) down.
-- If the reading in the feed pressure gauge (21) is 180 bar (correct value), it is likely
that the fast feed speed is incorrectly adjusted. Adjust the fast feed speed.
-- If the fast feed backwards maximum pressure setting is not 180 bar, adjust the
pressure. If the pressure cannot be adjusted correctly, the likely reason is that
either the LSB valve (30) is faulty or the feed motor is badly worn.
-- Run the rock drill to the front stopper and hold the joy--stick in this position
while holding the fast feed button 1 (S21) down.
-- If the pressure gauge now shows 150 bar reading (correct value), it is
likely that the feed motor is leaking or the feed mechanism has a
mechanical fault. Repair or replace the damaged components.
-- If the pressure cannot be adjusted with the LSA valve (29), it is likely that
the valve is faulty. Clean and repair, or replace the valve (29), and readjust
it.
3. If the max. pilot pressure forwards is lower than 15 bar when push button (S21)
is activated, the reason for low feed pilot pressure might be contamination at
anti--jamming valve (34) slowing piston orifice (70). Check, that orifice (70) is not
blocked (see the picture of the anti--jamming valve, chapter 4.).
4. If the feed forwards pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve (39) check
also the ø 1,6 mm (port P) and ø 1,0 mm (port B) orifices at anti--jamming valve
(34) base plate.
10.4.6. Fast feed movement too fast
1. If fast feed movement is too fast upwards or downwards, readjust it according to
the instructions in this manual.
10.5. Troubleshooting for rotation

Rotation pump (50) output can be tested by running the boom movements because the
boom cylinders get the required volume flow from the same pump (50). Pressure can be
measured at rotation valve (53) measuring point (M).
The operation of rotation directional valve (53) can be tested by a hand lever mounted to
the valve.

10.5.1. Rotation pressure too low during drilling
1. If rotation pressure is too low during drilling, you should check if the pressure relief
valve (60) of the LSA line is incorrectly adjusted. Adjust the valve according to the
setting instructions. If the pressure still fails to adjust to the correct value, it may
be that the setting of the rotation circuit maximum pressure relief valve (55) is
incorrect. If the valve (55) fails to adjust to the recommended value, it is likely that
it is damaged. Replace the valve and adjust it according to the instructions. If the
pressure still cannot be adjusted correctly, the reason may be that the rotation
pump (50) is faulty. Replace the pump (50) and readjust the valves (55) and (60).
2. The reasons for too low rotation pressure during drilling may be drilling with too
slow rotation speed or underfeed. Check the following points:
-- Check and adjust the right rotation speed according to setting instructions, see
chapter 7.
-- Check and adjust the right feed pressure according to setting instructions, see
chapter 7. If the feed pressure can’t be set to right value, see the troubleshooting
chapter ‘Drilling feed pressure too low’.
3. Insufficient flushing might cause low rotation pressure despite right feed pressure
and rotation speed. Check that flushing is working properly.
4. If rotation pressure still remains low, the reason may be leaking rotation motor.
Replace the motor.
10.5.2. Rotation pressure too high during drilling
1. Too high rotation pressure during drilling is caused by, for instance, too high feed
pressure or high rotation speed. Too high feed pressure causes drilling with
overfeed, which is indicated by high rotation pressure but also by bending of drill
rod and unusual vibration. Adjust feed pressure so that rotation pressure returns to
typical values in the current drilling conditions.
2. If the above adjustments do not lower rotation pressure, the reason may be in
faulty rotation motor. In that case, replace or repair the rotation motor as described
in the service/repair instructions for the rock drill.

10.5.3. Rotation speed cannot be adjusted
1. If rotation speed cannot be adjusted, start troubleshooting by checking the pilot

control pressure of the rotation directional valve (53) as follows:
-- Install pressure gauges to the drilling control block measuring points M9 and M11.
-- Turn the rotation speed regulating valve (59) fully closed (cw).
-- Make sure the the coil of the fast rotation valve (58) is not active.
-- Turn the drilling joy--stick to the rotating position (left), whereby also minimum
power percussion will start.
-- If the pressure in the measuring point M9 is approx. 30 bar, it is correct.
-- Turn the drilling joy--stick to the extreme right position while depressing the fast
feed button 1 (S21), (percussion has to be switched off from button 3 (S19))
whereby fast rotation in the thread opening direction will start (now the coils 58 and
62 are active).
-- If the pressure in the measuring point M11 is approx. 30 bar, it is correct.
-- If the pressures in the measuring points M9 and M11 are correct, it is likely that the
fault is in damaged regulating valve (59) or sticking spool of rotation directional
valve (53). Check the operation of the valves as follows:
-- Lock the drilling joy--stick to the extreme left position, whereby rotation
and minimum power percussion will start.
-- Turn the rotation speed adjusting knob of the valve (59) between its
extreme positions and see if the rotation speed changes at the same time.
Check also that pilot pressure at measuring point M9 is varying from 5 to
30 bar. Note, that percussion will stop (drilling joy--stick is centralized)
when pilot pressure at M9 goes lower than 9 bar.
-- If the rotation pilot pressure can’t be adjusted with valve (59), clean and
repair, or replace the valve (59)
-- If the rotation speed still cannot be adjusted, it is likely that the spool of the
rotation directional valve (53) is sticking.
-- Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly.
-- Install the spool back into place cautiously without using excessive force
or striking the spool end.
2. If the above remedies did not correct the fault, it is likely that the rotation motor in
the rock drill is faulty. Repair the rotation motor according to instructions in the rock
drill repair / maintenance manual.

1. ESTRUCTURA DE LA BOMBA
Los movimientos de los pistones de la bomba hacen que el aceite
hidráulico se desplace desde el lado de aspiración hacia el de presión
(descarga). La bomba es una bomba de pistones axiales en donde los
pistones se desplazan en la dirección del eje de accionamiento.
La bomba de caudal variable utilizada por Tamrock es una bomba del
tipo de plato motriz. Los extremos de los pistones deslizan contra la
placa motriz, cuyo ángulo depende de la señal LS (presión).
Las lumbreras de la bomba están marcadas de la siguiente manera:
S=lumbreras de aspiración B=lumbreras de impulsión (o de descarga)
L=lumbrera de drenaje X=lumbrera de pilotaje
Regulador Regulador de

La unidad de control montada sobre la bomba controla el ángulo del

plato de regulación. La bomba tiene separados los reguladores de
presión y de caudal.
La presión del sistema entra en la unidad de regulación a través del
conducto B1. Dirigiéndose dicha presión hacia el extremo izquierdo de
los husillos de control a través de los orificios practicados en dichos
husillos de regulación.
El conducto A lleva la presión hasta pistón de regulación que regula la
inclinación del plato de regulación.
El conducto T conduce a la carcasa de la bomba, que está connectado
al depósito a través del conducto de drenaje.
3.1. REGULADOR DE PRESIÓN
Cuando se incrementa la presión dentro del conducto B1, el husillo P
de la unidad de regulación se desplaza hacia la derecha, contra el
muelle. Cuando se alcanza la máxima presión de tarado, se abre la
conexión entre B1 y A, fluyendo aceite hacia el pistón de regulación de
inclinación, que reduce la inclinación del plato de regulación.
El tornillo de regulación C se utiliza para regular la presión máxima del
sistema. Esta presión debe tener un valor de alrededor de 20 bar
menos que la presión apertura de la válvula principal de alivio de
presión (=válvula de seguridad).
3.2. REGULADOR DE CAUDAL
Los caudales varían de acuerdo con la demanda del sistema. La
presión del sistema afecta a través de B1 al extremo izquierdo del
husillo F. La presión del conducto sensor de carga X afecta al extremo
de la derecha, donde se encuentra situado el muelle. La diferencia de
presión sobre la válvula direccional V del sistema, fuerza al husillo F del
regulador contra el muelle. Si la diferencia de presión aumenta, se abre
la conexión entre los conductos B1 y A, y la bomba se regula para un
caudal menor. Si la diferencia de presión se reduce, se abre la
conexión entre los conductos A y T, y aumenta el caudal de la bomba.
3.2.1. CONDUCTOS SENSORES DE CARGA
Se pueden regular varios sistemas (X1, X2, etc.) al mismo tiempo,
regulando las presiones LS de cada sistema.
3.2.2. PRESIÓN DE ESPERA
En la situación, en la que no se encuentra ningún dispositivo en
funcionamiento, el conducto sensor de carga X se encuentra sin
presión, porque está conectado al conducto de retorno al depósito a
través de la válvula direccional. La presión del sistema desde B1 fuerza
al husillo del regulador de caudal F hacia la derecha contra el muelle.
La conexión entre B1 y A se abre totalmente, y la bomba se ajusta a
caudal cero y a baja presión.
La presión de espera del sistema se ajusta con el tornillo D. El valor
deseado se ajustará de acuerdo con las instrucciones de la bomba
(dependiendo del sistema).
